Henry stared out his office window, thinking hard about the change his life is about to take. He realized that his life doesn't have to change much at all. Who says he has to stay faithful to the American? She's a doctor, and if she goes back to work, he will hardly see her anyway.

Then there's also the matter of keeping him safe from being trapped in real marriage. He could have mistresses that understand he's married and will not ask a commitment.

Fuck it, who is he kidding? The situation sucked all around. He never wanted marriage or children. He loves his career, sex life, and the fact that he can work late every night and there's nobody at home to nag at him. What if she wants to move to the States? Too damn bad! He's planted here, but she can go and he won't fight it one bit.

He stormed out of his office and straight into his father's office. "I want to see the contract!" He peered down at his father with a glimmer of hatred in his eyes.

"What contract?" Mateo kept writing whatever he was writing, and didn't even look up to his son.

"Don't act stupid, Father." He slammed his hand on his father's desk.

"Fine." He opened his desk drawer and pulled out a file. "It doesn't leave this room, understand?" Henry rolled his eyes like a spoiled young man he is then sat down in front of his father's desk.

He skimmed through the contract where he read that he must be faithful, a divorce will lead to the loss of his family empire, and if he does not follow through, the company becomes Rose's and she will owe him nothing.

"How could you sign something so damn, idiotic?" He looked up and asked his father.

"Maxwell was no businessman, Henry. He did not want his family's company, but he did want his daughter safe. It's what made sense at the time. " Mateo said.

Henry tossed the file down on his father's desk, then stormed out once again.

Blake finally calms after seeing the photo of her parents. Bradford informed her that her parents were murdered because of the Romanov secret. A secret so dangerous, it could have started a war.  She will be next if she does not comply with what is expected of her, but not only her godparents, but her own biological grandparents could suffer.

Bradford unlocked the handcuffs once she agreed not to panic. She is offered food, but it's the last things she wants, but did order a stiff whiskey.

After two of the agents cut her off from her drinks, she just curled into a ball and fell asleep. The day's events were overwhelming, and she was exhausted. The sleep cocktail Bradford slipped her was helpful, otherwise she would never sleep.  He needed to transport her from the airport to the Chapmans without incident.

He knew she would be in need of plenty of rest, because the next few days will be a whirlwind of events. He did not consider this woman was accustomed to high-pressure situations on little to no sleep. She did her time at the ER as an emergency physician, but this will still be the most intense time of her life.

When the jet landed, Bradford carried her to the car, then phoned Mateo to let him know they would be arriving within the hour.

Gina paced the hall of her massive home. One arm crossed her waist while she bit her thumbnail on the other hand.. She had everything arranged, and the suspense of the moment is driving her up the crazy. She herself had been unable to rest.

She had the church's support, and a room full of designer clothes. She wasn't sure of Rose's size, so she ordered several clothes in different sizes, the same went for footwear. The Lorraine family is also close to reaching her home, and it had been years since she saw her best friends family.

She heard a car pull up, and her security detail went into action. She rang her hands in anticipation of seeing that darling baby again. The same baby she could hear screaming in her nightmares for three decades.

Her heart almost stopped as she watched the MI6 agent carrying in the limp body of a full-grown woman.

"Mateo, she's here, but they're carrying her!" She yelled out, and he rushed to her side.

The agent was directed to a guest room while Gina wouldn't take her eyes off of her sweet baby Rose. Mateo met with the agents, then joined his wife to watch their godchild sleep through her drug enduced state.  How could she leave herself so vulnerable by taking those drinks.

He wrapped his arms around the waist of his wife. "I can't seem to figure out if she looks more like Maxwell or Waverly," Gina whispered

"Maybe a little of both," Mateo answered. "She's stunning, and I'm not sure our son deserves a wife this beautiful." He said.

She slowly shook her head. "He does, under all that resentment, he's a good disciplined man. He will eventually make her happy, and will be over the moon." She said.

Mateo wondered where the word discipline fit when describing his son, he knows the true nature of the man.  A man who is far too wild in his personal life, especially with women.

"There's a bit of a surprise downstairs. She brought a Newfoundland puppy." Mateo smiled fondly.

"Oh, did you introduce it to Hank and Hillary?" She asked.

Gina walked down, and was overwhelmed by the dog's huge personality. Eventually, she allowed her two beasts which are of the same breed inside and they all got along beautifully.

Mateo went into his study and tried calling Henry. "She's here, and I believe you'll be a very happy man. The ceremony is tomorrow at 2 pm sharp here at the house. Call me back."

He ends the call, then set out to find Gina. "Honey. What are you doing?" He asked.

"Making a photo album for Rose. I sent Eunice out with some of our old home movies to have them converted. They were able to get some still shots. We owe this to Waverly and Maxwell, she deserves to know about her parents." She said as she buried herself in her work. Mateo stared at his beautiful bride with pride.
