The FBI was really bad at their jobs. For months they had been sending in fake requests to try and catch Black Bird in order to bring him in for questioning. They discovered that he'd been around for a while, dabbling mostly in the business world, and even though he helped them out they didn't quite seem to be on his side. Apparently what he was doing was more illegal than he originally thought, but it was of no consequence to him. Jonesy may have thought him stupid, but he wasn't stupid enough to jump blindly into a potentially dangerous job without doing a thorough investigation on the validity of the request. The FBI seemed to think that he enjoyed helping solve murders or disappearances, so aside from the faulty leads they were asking him to investigate, he could hell they were fake because they were aiming to goad him through what they thought were his motivations. When that didn't work, they tried baiting him with outrageous amounts of money they knew they'd never have to pay because he'd be caught. It was interesting to Sky to see how they were trying to profile him, and he could tell that they were getting increasingly frustrated.

Instead of completely ignoring them as he had in the beginning, Sky decided he wanted to play a game to keep everything interesting. He started taking the cases they offered, but he would get the information either entirely through his computer, or he would open a portal directly into each room he needed to be in so no one could catch him through a window or sneak up behind him while he was working. Several unintended consequences occurred because of his game, the first being that he became much better at his job. His joke cases allowed him to pursue his real cases in a safer and more effective way. The second being that he made great advancements in the technology of the portal in order to play his game, and his father was able to use them to create a working form of transportation between their worlds. The third, and possibly the most entertaining, consequence was the sheer amount money Sky was getting from the US government. They had to give it to him because he was completing the jobs just as he said he would. It wasn't his fault they weren't catching him in the process.

Thanks to the government, he was able to successfully pay back the clan for the purchase of their house and had a lot left over. This turned out to be a good thing when a surprise came to their door one night at the beginning of May. Sky, River, and Fury had just finished a late birthday celebration when the light above the door began to flash. When Sky opened the door he was surprised to find that all that was there was a basket full of blankets. The blankets themselves looked too small, but very soft so he thought he'd take them inside to use on the couch. When he bent over to pick up the basket, Sky noticed that there was actually something wrapped up in the blankets; a baby. The baby was fast asleep with its tiny fist curled up near its mouth, and couldn't have been more than a few hours old.

The entire celebration came to a sudden halt when Sky reentered the kitchen with a newborn in his arms. Mouths were flying faster than he could read them, so Sky responded only to the words he could hear from Fury. River was absolutely silent, a terrifying thought racing around his head as he stared at the peaceful child. Carefully, he picked up the folded piece of paper that had been placed underneath the baby in the basket. He read over the note once, twice, three times before slamming it on the counter and racing out the front door. Sky had an idea of what the note said, and his thoughts were confirmed when someone placed it face up on the table.

Dear River,

I never wanted a kid so she's your responsibility now.

No need to get her tested, I know for a fact that you're the father.
