She promises its her last mission, she's bordering 5 months, and though they've yet to tell the rest of the team about the new addition, she's starting to show just a bit. He's smiling his head off when she points this out, claiming she's getting fat. Se slides on a loose dress, that hides the developing bump quite well, and heads out with Charlie.

"You get the front." Charlie mumbles into her mic and Paige walks through the front door, slyly smiling at the Latin American infront of her.

"So do we have a deal?" She says slurring the word we and have together.

"No." And Charlie knows she needs to get in there, but she's too late, before she shoots e man, Paige is on the floor, her hip pouring out blood.

He gets the call, and he's there as fast as he possibly can be, pacing up and down the white halls isn't doing much for his anixety. The rest of the team pours in, and they curiously watch as Mike leans back against the wall, mumbling something and clasping his hands together.

"Paige is gonna be ok." Briggs tries to comfort him but Mike shakes his head, his eyes red of sleep depravation. The doctor emerges 3 hours later,

"Michael Warren?" Ad his head flips up, pleading with the doctor to tell him good news. The doctor takes him aside, and says something softly, that no one else can make out.

"Your girlfriend is going to be all right. However we couldn't save the fetus, we tried." And Mikes world crumbles around him, he slides down the wall, tears brimming his eyes.

"Miss Arkin will be ready for visitors in about 20 minutes." The doctor announces to the rest of the crew, and they all look at Mike, who's still crouched on the floor.

The group makes their way towards her room, all graciously letting Mike in first, they watch through the huge glass window as he sits by her side, they watch her look up at him, and take his hand and squeeze it.

Mike kisses her softly,

"We're gonna be all right." He mumbles and she gives him a soft smile,

"I'm so sorry." And she cries some more, right into his chest and the group watches the personal moment, completely lost.

Jakes pulls aside the doctor,

"What's her condition?"

"Miss Arkin is just fine, we did all we could to save the child but It was too late, she lost so much blood." The doctor explains and their faces show an understanding of the couples grief. The nurses shoo Mike out a few minutes later, and as he walks out the door, he just keeps walking. They hear a loud crash, and Mike has sent his fist through the plaster in the wall.

He's a mess until they let him back in, when he becomes the soothing lover, rubbing her back protectively, whispering things into her ear that the rest of the team can't quite make out. When she arrives home two nights later, she disappears into his room and they don't come out for an entire day. When she does come out, Mikes right behind her, she's smiling a bit, leading the rest of the group to understanding that they had made sorrowful but sweet love in response to the tragedy.

One afternoon, when Paige is asleep and Mike is on the couch, home from assignment, Charlie comes over to him.

"I should've been there. Not her." She says and to her surprise Mike turns to her with a look of utter disappointment.

"Damn right. She should've been in DC, moving in, not on an assignment with huge risks involved." Ad he stands up disgustedly.
