When Rose and Ace walked out of the locker rooms the team was heading to their own locker room with smiles on their faces and practically climbing on top of one another as they cheered and congratulated one another on the win.

Rose smiles as Tyler and Drew push one another about jokingly "So you won then?" she smiles and they both nod, "About time too, this past month has been nothing but losses" one of the other team members says flinging an arm around Tyler's neck.

"Well, you guys go and celebrate, we're going to head to the hospital" she says.

Both guys panic and Rose laughs "It's just to make sure were both okay, he is quite small" Rose says and the guys nods.

"We'll meet you there" Drew says, and Tyler agrees.

"No go and have fun, I just need my wounds checking and get Sammy registered and then I'm going home with my boys, nothing exciting" she says.

It was a good thing Drew and Tyler didn't come along to the hospital as Scott and her crew came along with Ace's men and that was enough to scare all the doctors and nurses. The benefit of them all was getting seen swiftly, Ace went with Sammy to get weighed and measured as a nurse came in and cleaned Rose's wounds, rebandaged them, she refused pain medication as she was breastfeeding Sammy and taking medication meant she would have to bottle feed him all the time.

Sammy was deemed healthy despite everything that happened, though tiny, he was healthy, and Rose was able to breathe without panicking about her son's health, born October eleventh at seven, forty one in the evening, weighing a four pounds six ounces, and sixteen inches long, Rose feared for his size, but the midwife reassured her that her son was strong, and if she was ever worried she could call for assistance.

Unfortunately, the crew heard the doctor tell Rose about rest and they were all more than determined to make sure she did what the doctor ordered.

Back home, Rose was practically on Ace's lap, Sammy sleeping in his nursery and a baby monitor placed on the coffee table so she could hear when he woke up.

The credits roll on the screen and Jack turns to Rose "How are you feeling?" he asks.

She wanted to slap him, that's how she felt. "Fine" she sighs hoping they would stop asking her that. Each of them had asked her if she was okay at least once since being back from the hospital.

"There's something bugging you, we can tell" Ryan states and Rose groans, turning to Ace she holds out her hand "Phone please" there was no way this was going to end, so she might as well get it over with.

Ace hands his phone over without question, it was locked and looked at him in question "The day we met" he mumbles, and the guys laugh.

"Whipped" Tommy laughs, not subtle at all.

Entering the code, she goes straight to his contacts to call someone.

"Boss" the male voice on the other end of the line says.

"I guess I am now" she jokes, the guys in the room look at her and she smiles, "Jackson I need you to go to the forest beside the high school football field, walk two miles until you find a car wrapped around a tree, under the driver's seat should be a file, bring it to me" she instructs him.

"Okay" Jackson says and hands up the phone.

"What's going on Rose?" Scott asks his daughter.

"There's more to Saxon and his gang than I first thought" she says and Ace tenses beneath her.

"What do you mean?" he wonders.

"You remember that day at school when someone tried to kill me, the same day I died" she says softly not wanting to hit a nerve.

Scott nods his head, that was one of the worst days of his life.

"Well the guy that was sent to kill me was hired by Sandra from Saxon's gang, I thought that was the only connection but the night in the warehouse, I saw Miles Saxon and Sandra together". Everyone was surprised by this new information.

"Are you sure Rose?" Jack questions just wanting to make sure.

"Of course, I'm sure, Saxon and Sandra were there, they made it out of the explosion alive" she snaps back at him, how could he doubt her. She felt guilty for snapping

"Sorry I didn't mean to snap" she says looking down in shame.

"No Rose, I'm sorry I didn't mean to doubt you" Jack says.

A knock at the front door and Tommy went to answer, he returned with Officer Jackson out of uniform and carrying a file in his hand. "You found it" she says with a smile.

Jackson nods and hands her the papers "You're going to want to stay for this" she tells him as she takes the file.

"In this file, are a collection of all the crimes the Saxon gang committed over the years, many of them unsolved cases of your department" Rose says looking at Jackson, "He was stupid to list all jobs the gang had done and which of his members were involved".

Rose continued to pull out the evidence and lay it out on the coffee table so everyone could see as she explained more.

Then she suddenly stops talking and laying out images when she sees something she never thought she would see again.

Everything around her freezes as she looks images before her. She felt bilious to her stomach, placing a hand on her mouth she slams the folder shut and runs to the kitchen, emptying what little food she had in her stomach.

"Rose" someone calls out to her. Wiping her mouth, she calls out "Just a minute" she says and rinses her mouth out before walking back into the room. Ace had the folder open, with Jackson peering over his shoulder, they were angry, and their faces filled with disgust.

"They actually kept them, psychopaths" she mutters.

"What the hell is this?" Scott asks as Ace lays the images out on the table for everyone to see.

Images across the coffee table were of little blonde haired, blue eyes girls looking similar to Rose, different ages from eight to fourteen.

"She killed them all" she choked out, "But they weren't even the target, I was" she sniffles.

"Rose" her father says unsure of what was happening, he had never seen anything like this, it was horrific, no wonder Rose threw up.

"She beat them, tied them up and drugged them, Miles Saxon raped them, ach fell pregnant with his child, for six months they carried their pregnancy until Saxon cut the baby from them and she killed the baby whilst he killed the girl" Rose laughed dryly, "Five girls she was successful with, the sixth time she failed" looking anywhere but the guys in the room.

"Rose why didn't you tell me" Scott says with sadness.

She smiled at him with glossy eyes "Because you had already been through a lot and I came out fighting, so I saw no reason to bring it up" she says a single tear rolling down her cheek.

"Why kids at those ages?" Ryan asks.

"Because she tried at those times with me, but I got away, as a consequence she took those girls, I never got to meet the guy involved, I got away each time. Those girls were taken a week after Sandra tried to drug me for that, they failed with me, but were successful with an innocent" she says.

"You were innocent too" Leighton spoke.

Ace gets to his feet and walks up to Rose, he wraps her up in his embrace and she turns into him, burying her face in his chest "I can't do this again" she whispers, "Not now with Sammy" she cries. Ace rubs her back soothingly as she grips onto the front of his shirt.

"I'm sorry baby girl" Scott says his voice breaking, there was so much pain these past few months he wished he could take it away for his little girl but knew he never would be able too.

Pulling away from Ace she looks at her father "No, you have done everything for me as have the guys, this was something I kept from all of you, but now I have Sammy too, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Ace as well. I know it is hard to grasp, knowing a part of my past was hard, I fought that battle and won, now it's time to murder the war" she says.

All of the guys look at Rose in admiration, carrying small smiles on their faces, Rose was strong, and they knew she would get through it all.

"There's more" she adds on and Ace tenses around Rose. She turns around so her back was against Ace and her arms rest of his as they are held around her stomach. "She and Saxon were lovers when they were young, they parted ways and then she met you and fell pregnant, she still oved Saxon and I was the bound that tied her to you and away from Saxon.

They had been talking just after I was born from what I can see and then the affair began, they wanted to be together, but somehow in their minds, didn't see it possible with me in existence and thus the plot for my demise" she explains, her index finger tracing patterns on Ace's hands to stop her from breaking down.

"They knew I was pregnant before the warehouse thing, so they were watching me, their twisted and will do anything to kill me, now Sammy is here I'm sure they will want him too and I can't let that happen" she says.

"We won't let that happen, they won't come near you or our son" Rose looks up at him and kisses his throat, "I know, I have the crew, and a gang looking out, I'll make sure of it" she tells him and Ace groans, that statement bruised his ego and Rose knew it.

"That's my job" he says almost pouting.

Rose smirks "I'm not some preppy bitch that cries when her nail breaks, this is my life, we do this my way, so suck it up or bugger off and let the only women in this entire organisation handle it".

The guys chuckled, amused by Rose and Ace's little conversation. The guys mock Ace who takes it on the chin joking along with them, Rose suddenly felt different. Stepping away from Ace her body told her to check on Sammy.

Heading up the stairs, Rose pulls open a draw in the hallway and grabs a gun and a silencer, screwing it on the end, the creeps up to her baby's room. The door slightly ajar, how she left it, but there was a chill breeze filtering through, the window was open, and Rose made sure it was shut as Sammy was only tiny.

A dark figure loomed over the crib as she opened the door, grateful there was no squeak to it when it moved. Aiming her gun at the back of the figure she loaded her gun "Back away from my son now" she orders. The man backs up a little "Turn around" she orders him.

There was nothing in his hand, and his gun was in his belt which had Rose thinking he was here to take her baby. "Get on your knees" she barks at him quiet enough not to wake Sammy up, she didn't need him to see or hear this if it went south.

Quickly stepping forward, Rose uses the butt of the gun to hit against the guys temple, he fell to the ground. Rushing to the crib, she finds Sammy sleeping soundly the same way she left him.

Looking out the window, Rose sees a blacked-out van parked, aiming her gun she fires a few shots, the bullet hitting the wall of the van before the engine started and it shot off. Shoving the gun in the waistband of her trousers, Rose takes the intruders gun and also put in her trousers before picking Sammy up and kissing him on his head, then proceeded to drag the unconscious man out of her baby's room, down the hall and to the top of the stairs.

She looked between the man and the stairs and pushed him. He tumbled down like a sack of spuds, landing at the bottom in a pile groaning from the impact with the steps.

The guys rush out of the living room and find the guys looking at the man at the bottom of the stairs. "That's going to hurt" she giggles, referring to the fall down the stairs.

Tommy looks up to Rose "What the hell?" he questions as Ace hops over the body and rushes up the steps to Rose and Sammy.

He checks them both over "Why didn't you call for help?" he asks.

"If you guys had stopped laughing then he would have been alerted about me being behind him, and he could have harmed Sammy, I will say something next time, I'm just not used to relying on other's" she admits and Ace nods.

Sighing, Ace hugs them and then helps them down the stairs, "Jackson call the men and tell them we have a guest for the night" he nods and pulls out his phone to make a call.

"Here isn't safe anymore, just having you guys here isn't enough, Rose and Sammy are coming with me, and anyone else who wants too, I have room to accommodate you if you want" Ace says.

Rose shakes her head "They need to stay here, their training and equipment are here, they need it all if we are to get them, no arguments" she looks at the guys.

Scott chuckles "Just like you uncle" he says.

"What can I say, it's in my blood" she says, and everyone laughs.

Ace helped Rose packing a bag for herself and Sammy, two vans arrived: one for Ace, Rose and Sammy. The other for the guy Ace was going to question, everyone had an idea as to where he was sent from.

Sammy was miraculously sound asleep still through all of this mess. Ace drove the van with Rose in the passenger seat, the pram, car seat with sleeping Sammy and bags of clothes in the back, Ace's hand on Rose thigh but she could see something was bugging him.

"Are you okay?" Rose asks him, placing a hand over his on her thigh.

"Yes, just pissed about what's happening, but I have you and my son, so that's all that matters right now" he says and Rose smiles.

Closing her eyes, she breathed out a sigh of satisfaction. "Make sure none of your whores come near me or our baby" she mutters, and he chuckles.

"Any of the girls I was with, which was a long time ago are long gone, but I will still make sure they keep away" he tells her.

"I love you" she whispers feeling her body shutting down, she needed it.

Ace looks over at her and smiles "I love you so much more Rose" he whispers.
