Rangers POV

It's been almost four years since my brother left for his last mission and almost a little over three years since we got the notice he was taken from us.

A bout two months after the twins first birthday party Steph was not doing well at all. She always had a low self-confidence but with the whole thing with Les and me and the twins it brought her down to a level where both Bobby and I thought we might not bring her back from.

Bobby finally gave her an option either she had to start talking to the company Psychologist and get on some medication to help her. At first she refused and then Bobby came to me and demanded that I back him up which I did I also threatened to use my connections to pull strings and have her put into psych hospital for a time.

Thankfully I never had to go through on that threat because she went to see Eagle. After just a few weeks I could see the old Babe coming back to us. She had appointments with Eagle every day for the first month then every other day for the next month. They eventually went to every other week and she is still going. She is better version of my babe.

She had a confidence I never thought would happen. We all have bad days here and there especially when the twins are having a bad day and only want their Papa. How do you explain to four years olds that their Papa is dead?

"Dad" Julie said from my office door way. I smiled at her and waved her in and could tell today was a bad day for my daughter and opened my arms. She came over and crawled into my lap and put her head on my chest. Even at 16 she was still my little angel.

"I hate Michael" she said. Michael was Joe Morellis kid.

"Why? What did he do?"

I could tell she was crying before her broken voice said "he was making fun of how the twins keep asking for Uncle Les and saying Uncle Les deserved it" she sniffled then chuckled which had me confused "Joe will probably be calling."

I groaned and pulled back from her "Jules I thought I told you not to beat him up again?"

"You did but he deserved it if he kept his mouth shut he would not need to get beat up."

"You beat Michael up again?" Babe asked leaning on my doorway.

Julie nodded and babe groaned as her cell rang and she held it up for us to see it was Joe. "Hi Joe" she paused "I know" another pause and mouthed why and Julie mouthed back Uncle Les "Well Joe you need to tell your son bringing up Les's death and also my children will never end well."

After a long pause "of course" pause "see you then."

"Is Joe mad" Julie asked.

"Not at you" Steph came over and hugged our daughter and kissed me. "He is scheduled to start in an hour he said he might be a little late."

I nodded "that's fine" Joe married Terri about a year and a half ago and knew he could no longer be a cop so came to me and babe and asked for a job. The two of us called in Tank and Brown and the four of us agreed to give him a chance. He has been a great employee and a good friend the only problem is his son. He found Michael during a drug raid that both his parents were involved in. Children services could not find a place for him till the next day so Joe took him home. Both Terri and Joe fell in love with the boy and ended up adopting him.

"Why don't the five of us go out to dinner" I looked between my girls who were both beaming. We walk out on the com floor and Babe yells "guys come on we are going out to eat" all the guys stand when will she learn. "Sit" she barks "boys under five come on" all the guys start pouting and Tank yells "we want subs."

I shake my head when she answers "fine but we will bring them back bye" as we get into the elevator.

As we are strapping the boys into their seats I ask "When babe?" she looks a little confused. "Mom" Julie says "you have to start saying boys when you want" she motioned between her brothers "and not guys."

Steph laughed "yeah I guess you're right." I smile and shake my head as I shut her door and jog over to my side of the car.
