"Daddy, can I go play with Adam, Danny, and Jake?" Tony asked his father. They were at the lab summer picnic, and Tony had just noticed that his best friends had arrived. The twins were now five years old, along with Calliegh's children and Ryan's daughter Lainey.

"Sure." Eric said, keeping an eye on Tony. Nathan still hadn't been caught, which was making Eric more and more nervous about letting the twins out of his sight.

"Daddy, Lily's here!" Emma squealed from the spot in her father's lap. She had become the daddy's girl.

"Do you want to go play with her?" Eric asked his daughter.

"Yeah, Uncle Eric." Lainey said from where she was sitting next to Emma on Eric's lap. The three girls always loved Eric, and sat on his lap whenever they got a chance. "We'll be right back." Then Emma and Lainey ran over to greet Lily.

"Hey, Eric." Calliegh said as she sat next to him.

"Hey, Calliegh." He replied, still keeping an eye on his kids.

"You know, Eric. Nathan hasn't contacted you or Natalia in two years. I think that he gave up." Calliegh said, putting her hand on his shoulder.

"Or that's what he wants us to think." Eric said roughly, causing Calliegh to pull her hand away. "Hey, I'm sorry." He told her, smiling.

"It's ok."

Then Lainey, Emma, and Lily ran up and jumped onto Eric's lap.

"Hey, Uncle Eric."

"Hello, Lily." Eric said.

"Are you three sitting with your favorite man?" Natalia said as she walked up behind her husband. Only three months after Natalia had come back, she and Eric had gotten married.

"Yup." They all answered in unison.

"Mommy?" Emma asked.

"What, sweetie?" Natalia said as she sat on the other side of Eric and Emma climbed onto her lap.

"Didn't daddy say that if we ever saw that bad man again to tell you?" Natalia stiffened up, remembering when Nathan had confronted her children two months ago. She and Eric had decided not to tell anyone about it.

Begin Flashback

"Eric, I have to go to the bathroom. Watch the twins." Natalia said as she walked in the direction of the port-a-potty across the playground.

"Always, Natalia." He yelled after her. He then looked around for Emma and Tony, but couldn't see them. Assuming that since his children were quite ambitious, he figured that they were behind the slide or somewhere that he couldn't see them.

"Emilia, Antonio. How are you, my dears?" Emma and Tony heard a voice behind where they were hiding next to the slide.

"We're not supposed to talk to strangers." Tony said as he stepped in front of his sister. Even though they were only five, Tony always protected Emma.

"I'm not a stranger, don't you remember me? I'm your daddy." Nathan said, trying to get closer to the children.

"Nuh-uh!" Emma yelled. "Eric Delko is our daddy!" Eric heard his daughter yell. He got up and began to look for his children. He cursed himself for choosing this large playground.

"Emma, Tony!" Eric yelled.

"Kids, you're supposed to come with me. Your mommy said to." Nathan said, moving dangerously close to Tony.

"We're not supposed to go with strangers!" Tony yelled. He then stomped on Nathan's foot as hard as he could, which wasn't very hard, and grabbed his sister's hand. "Come on, Emma!" then he dragged her past Nathan and began to scream. "Daddy!"

"Tony?" Eric said as he turned around to see his children running at him. He bent down and picked them up.

"Daddy, there was a man who said that he was our daddy, and he wanted us to go with him, but Tony 'tected me." Emma told her father as she hugged him. Eric looked to where his children had ran from and saw Nathan standing there. Eric quickly set his children down and pulled out his gun. When he looked up, Nathan was gone. He reholstered his gun and picked up Emma and Tony and went to find Natalia.

"Kids, if you ever see that man again, tell mommy or daddy, ok? Actually, tell any grown-up." Eric said as he noticed Natalia waiting where they had been sitting.

"Mommy?" Emma's voice brought Natalia back into reality.

"Yes, daddy and I did, why?" Natalia said as she and Eric listened intently to their daughter.

"Because he's over there carrying Tony." Emma said, pointing her finger to where there was indeed a man holding Tony. When Natalia looked closer, she saw that is looked as if Tony was sleeping. Her head snapped to Eric, who had shooed the girls off of his lap and had stood up.

"Let's end this." He said as he pulled out his gun and ran towards Nathan and his son.
