-Kara-

My family was in town, I had asked them to give me and Neal some time alone to adjust before they descended upon New York to  visit Thea. That time was past and now My house was full. With my brothers and sisters from both sides.

"Oh she's so precious." Mom cooed as she held her granddaughter "Oh... look at that her little fingers and toes."

"So this is who you are now? FBI agent with a criminal's baby. Awesome." Kourtney drawled

"It is a mystery what Scott saw in you. Honestly it just baffles me." I retort

"Kourtney, your here to see your new niece not take cheap shots at Kara." Scott defended me

"This is why I asked you not to bring her, she's still pissed that I held my promise all those years ago. You Lost Kourt get over it." I hissed at her "

"Girls can we not start a fight in front of the baby, please" Mom sighed and we shut up

---------

Thea and I were on a walk, well going to have lunch to be exact with Elizabeth. She waited on the patio of the cafe we were meeting at.

"Hey" I gave a sigh of relief and hugged her

"Hey, how are you doing, you sounded frustrated over the phone. Hey Thea." she cooed at her. Then we sat down.

"My family's in town." I stated  "And I can't last five minutes in a room with them."

"Oh sweetie. Why don't you tell me all about it over some tea and coffee." i nodded and we ordered and Elizabeth was sweet enough to let me vent to her.

"You have an interesting family." I chuckled at her comment

"That's not the half of it. I've always felt out of place, the odd one out and it's only increased more since I left.  They're talking business deals, make up lines and production. I speak case files, suspects and warrants to obtain evidence. Not even having Thea helps because as my sister loved to point out. Her father is a convicted criminal on anklet work release with the FBI. Even my once close relationship with my Dad is now strained because she doesn't know this me and I don't know her."

"Well you know you have a family here right. Peter and I being two of them. And we speak the same language just fine."

"Thank you for letting me offload on you." I breath a sigh of relief

"Anytime. Honestly."

-----------------

I came into the living room and found Neal fast asleep on the couch cradling Thea. I covered my mouth a little then grabbed my phone and took a picture.

To- Mozzie: Please can you bring this off and frame it

From Mozzie -$50

To Mozzie: No and you know why, free of charge.

From Mozzie: Fine

-3rd person-

Neal saw that a package was left for him and he opened it. Inside was a note and frame.

Had Mozzie print. Couldn't and wouldn't resist - K

It was the picture Kara had taken and Mozzie had printed off of him and Thea. He gave a small smile and  placed it on the table near the terrace. There was a knock on the door and Neal looked back. Rebecca, the key to finding out what Hagen wants and why? He let her in and changed pleasantries and offered drinks. Rebecca looked around and noticed the newly placed picture. She was about to ask when she saw little things dotted around.

"You have a kid?" she asked placing the picture back down

"Yes, she's uh. She's with her Mom." Neal dropped the ball on that one

"She's huh. A kid and no ring. Interesting." She commented

"You don't need a ring these days. Besides we're here for a reason, not to investigate my personal life." he replied a little too harshly "I'm sorry, that was uncalled for. Here."

-------

Peter was on something, after finding badge and gun of Seigal Peter fount that  Agent Siegel had left behind a business card with 'Cooper 3' On it. Neal and Rebecca found that the codex was actually a puzzle of a pain glass window which he had eventually found, while multi tasking trying to find something special for Kara. He knocked on Peter's door."

"Neal, what are you up to this time?" Peter wondered. He knew Neal was up to something as usual but he was just trying to figure out what.

"I found it." Neal beamed and sat down

"Found what." Neal dug into his pocket and slipped over a small box. Peter glanced up  at him "Is that what I think it is?" Neal gestured to look and Peter did. In it was a Sapphire ring.

"So when I fake proposed to Kara and then we went up to the 103 floor, that when she told me she was pregnant. I out of insistent asked again, but understandably she thought it was because of what she just told me. The little speech I did was the truth just at the wrong time."

"You're gonna propose to Kara?"

"I know the Bureau  frowns on CI/Agent relationships but it works. At least this one does, given that she's not actually my handler just adjacent. Anyway I've been casing places to do it, but I need your help." Peter leaned back in his chair, the erratic activity to him would explain why he stood in certain places for 20 minutes

"My help"

"Well, I figured doing the Empire State Building again was a bit on the nose. So I thought something simple. But it's all wrong, the places that is. Until I thought of the Queen's pier. The moment where things were right before it went wrong and then right again. But I would need your permission now that I'm back to a radius and not searching for a skyline."

"When?"

"I don't know. I'm not even sure she's gonna say yes." he sighed nervously

------------

Peter was at home tracking Neal's anklet. Elizabeth walked in and noticed what he was doing.

"Tracking Neal again? You know he's probably one of two places his or Kara's." Elizabeth sat down

"He's at neither." Peter scowled

"What's the scowl for? Is he up to something again?" she wondered

"I think so. Neal came into my office with a ring, he says he wants to propose to Kara." Peter told her "And that he's been casing places to do it."

"Only Neal would case a proposal." she chuckled "You don't believe him?"

"I did, right up until Jones showed me this" he showed Elizabeth a cctv still. "He stood on this street for twenty minty with her. Her name is Rebecca and she was used it the art heist."

"But why would Neal be meeting with her?" Elizabeth wondered

"I know it's not good. And I hope it's not what I think it is." Peter breathed

"You can't be suggesting, he's cheating." Peter didn't reply "You know I don't think he is. This body language is all wrong." she shook her head and laid it down

"We both seen Neal flirt, he's notorious for it. But here they're stood together but his arms are folded and his smile is different like accomplishment rather than flirt. Then his posture its not open and relaxed like he normally is." she observed

"Check you out Mrs FBI."

"Well I do listen to you and Neal. Besides I don't think he's one to do that. There must be a reason why. And I think you should find out before you say or so anything rash." Elizabeth suggested

"I think you're right, hon. How do feel about the clifton?" Peter wondered.

"I've always wanted to go to the Clifton." she answered.

Peter and Elizabeth went to the Clifton to scope out what Neal was up to. Which meant gatecrashing their dinner and the Elizabeth distracting Rebecca.

"Neal what the hell are you doing with her." Peter scowled

"It's business." Neal defended himself

"When you say business it usually means your up to no good. Neal I know about the fake FBI office and you take Rebecca to a street that you supposedly were there for proposal places. What is going on? Tell me because I'm thinking the worst" he pressed

"I'm not cheating on Kara. Rebecca is helping me on something for her and Thea and  no I'm not going to tell you because I do actually now have a private life."

"Your private life is a Kara who your saying you're going to propose to. Neal you have a good thing going, a life and a purpose. Don't screw it up." Peter urged

"Enough Peter, that's enough." Neal stood up and stormed off
