Leans in with a smirk This place, amirite? Total dive. Ugh, why here, babe?
Brings us closer to the enemy...and their little girl.
raises an eyebrow Their little girl? Who's their little girl, Fire? What's going on?
There's a lot you don't know about me....like i have a daughter.
leans back, visibly surprised Wait, what? You have a daughter? Why didn't you tell me, Fire? How long have you been hiding this from me?
Just a little while....a couple months I guess.
laughs sarcastically Couple months? Fire, you sly dog. You've been keeping a whole damn family secret from me? How am I supposed to keep up with your lies if you're hiding kids and shit?
Hey, I didn't lie! I was forced to keep her away from you...they were watching my every move. You really think I wanted to leave you out of this?!
Oh please, Fire! Spare me the sob story! If they were watching your every move, then how the hell did you manage to keep a whole family hidden from me? Did you build them a damn hidden bunker?!
It wasn't by choice...but I had to keep you safe also! They were after you too....so I made a deal. I would protect our child and you by keeping you apart.
rolls her eyes Oh, spare me the melodrama, Fire. You're telling me you made a deal to protect our non-existent kid and me?
Look, i'm not good at this lovey dovey stuff but i'm trying.....trust me.
smirks Trying, huh? Well, I hope your "trying" isn't as half-assed as your storytelling, Fire. So, let me get this straight.
Yeah, go ahead....ask whatever you want.
leans forward, raising an eyebrow Alright, Fire. Give me the damn truth. Is our daughter alive? And if so, where the hell is she?
She's alive...in my arms right now actually.
<Andrea Bordeaux's face turns pale as realization hits her. TmanFire hands her their daughter, tears streaming down both of their faces.>
sniffs, wiping away tears Alright, Fire. If you wanted to surprise me, you could've just said so. No need to go all dramatic and secretive.
Sorry....this is new to me. I didn't know how to approach it.
chuckles softly New to you, huh? Well, lucky for you, Fire, I'm a pro at handling surprises. But seriously, you should've told me about our daughter sooner. I mean, can you imagine how shocked I was when you dropped that bombshell on me?
I didn't drop a bombshell on you! It was supposed to be a secret....remember?! Also, she wasn't supposed to be born for another month!
laughs Oh, believe me, Fire, surprises are my specialty. But let's not dwell on the past, shall we? Our little bundle of joy is here now, and that's what matters.
Right.....yeah. I'm just glad you're happy.
smiles warmly Happy? Are you kidding me, Fire? I'm over the moon!
Want me to hold her? I've been holding her for a while now...i think she likes me.
laughs Hold her? You've been holding our daughter this whole time? And here I thought you were just off doing spy stuff.
Spy stuff can wait...our daughter is more important.
takes the baby from TmanFire's arms Well, aren't you a smooth talker, Fire?
Not as smooth as you though.
playfully rolls her eyes Smooth, huh? Well, I guess I'll have to show you just how smooth I can be, Fire. But first, let's focus on our little one, shall we? She gently cradles the baby in her arms, cooing softly Baby: gurgles happily, reaching out to grab Andrea's finger
See....i told you she likes me!
laughs Oh, Fire, you really know how to charm a baby, don't you? But I have a feeling our little one has good taste.
She definitely does. She chose me over you!
raises an eyebrow Oh, did she now? Well, looks like we'll have to fight for her attention then, won't we, Fire? But let's not forget who's the pro here.
