(Dom) "Alright, this is a little cold so don't worry."

I nod. He puts the gel on my stomach and spreads it with the thingy that he uses for the ultrasound. I look at the monitor and I feel a warm hand wrapping itself around one of mine. I look to Mason and he's smiling at me.

(Dom) "There you are..." – he mumbles.

I look to the monitor again and I see the shape of my baby.

(Dom) "You have a healthy baby." – he glances quickly at us.

He turns the volume up and we can hear his heartbeat. I smile and some tears fall from my eyes.

(Dom) "I'm going to freeze the image and leave you two alone."

(Mason) "Thank you."

He nods his head and leaves. I don't take my eyes off of the screen.
Can you believe that? I have a baby inside of me...

(Mason) "Look at our baby..."

I look at Mason and he's crying too. I laugh at him and he wipes his tears.

(Maya) "I can't believe... I always thought that it was just a dream but... he's so real..."

(Mason) "He?" – he smiles.

(Maya) "I know it's a boy..."

(Mason) "The mother is the only one who knows."

I nod and I look at the screen again.

(Mason) "Now more than ever... I want to live a normal life with you and our babies."

I look at him.

(Maya) "Babies?" – I chuckle.

(Mason) "I want a lot of «mini-me's» and «mini-you's» running around our house."

(Maya) "We should find the shooter first."

(Mason) "Yes." – he nods.

I look to the wall.

(Maya) "What if he finds us first?"

He kisses my forehead.

(Mason) "I won't let anything happen to you."

I smile to him and he kisses me softly.

(Rob) "We finally found him!" – he bursts through the gym.

Everyone looks at him and they all run after him, out of the gym. Mason is the first one. Liv and I, who were sitting on the bench navigating on the internet, run after him too. We reach the dining room where everyone is already gathered there.

(Phil) "His name is Jack Cooper. But he was born Jack Taylor."

(Maya) "Taylor?!"

(Rob) "Yeah, he's James' dead brother."

(George) "How is that possible?"

(Rob) "He was supposed to have died on a car crash but somehow made it through."

(Mason) "Do you know where he is?"

(Phil) "No. We only found him on one security camera in the entire city. He's like a ghost."

(Mason) "Even ghosts can be found... We have to find him or none of us will have a peaceful future."

(George) "What do you intend to do now?"
