"Isn't she just the cutest little thing?" Lucy smiled as she watched Lisa gently handle the precious little bundle.
"She really is." Nicole agreed as she took in the baby girl's features. She had a pudgy round face and dark hair like her mother, but the eyes were different. It was safe to say they came from her late father.
"Hard to believe she came from Erica." Derek commented.
The elderly woman giggled. "It's been nice having a little one to take care of. It can get pretty lonely here from time-to-time."
Everyone had the decency to look a little sad.
"I'll try to visit more." Lisa replied.
"Yeah, me too." Nicole added.
"What they said." Derek responded.
Lucy smiled. She couldn't ask for better grandchildren. Her good mood didn't last however as a frown spread across her face. "Now that Debbie spilled the beans they'll be here before we know it."
Lisa handed the baby off to her little sister to hold. "But the agents outside should be able to help, right?"
The older woman shook her head. "I don't think so. At most they can stall until the task force arrives."
"So we're screwed then." Derek sighed.
"Not necessarily." Lucy tried to explain. "Debbie won't allow Erica to hurt us but that doesn't mean everyone is going to walk away unscathed. She'll want the little one back."
"Are you going to give her up?" Nicole asked as she gently rocked the baby. She'd never gotten to hold a one before.
"No." The grandmother stated firmly. "As much as Erica would love to have her daughter back, she's not fit to be a parent. She's done too much and will only cause the little one pain, even if she doesn't mean to."
The conversation was halted by the click of a lock.
Everyone turned to see a man in a black suit and shades walk in, soon followed by his mustached partner and their father and his assistant.
"Thank god, you're all here!" Steve smiled. He looked a bit frantic but otherwise in good health.
"It's nice to see you all." Beth waved politely.
"Sup." Was Derek's reply.
"So, what's they play here?" Steve asked. "Why aren't you all moving?"
The mustached agent known as Boles spoke up. "Traffic held up transport so where here to stall until the task force arrives to deal with the situation."
The other agent, Phenton, added, "We're also ordered to take your wife in alive if at all possible."
Everyone went silent.
Steve was grateful that the government was trying to take his wife in...
*Click*
"Huh?!" He gasped as he felt cold metal around his wrists. "What's the meaning of this?!"
Boles stroked his mustache. "We've also been ordered to arrest you as an accessory to your wife's crimes."
Everyone looked stunned.
"Why?" Lisa finally asked.
"For supplying your mother with the shrink ray." Phenton revealed.
Nicole looked at her dad with wide eyes. "You did what now?"
"She really is." Nicole agreed as she took in the baby girl's features. She had a pudgy round face and dark hair like her mother, but the eyes were different. It was safe to say they came from her late father.
"Hard to believe she came from Erica." Derek commented.
