"Tord." Tord turned to face Tom.

Tom smiled sadly. "Jeg elsker deg."

Tom sighed. He was pushed into the plane without getting a chance to see Tord's reaction. He sighed. What if he didn't care? What if I mispronounced it and said something stupid? What if he hates me?

What if?

Tom sighed as he felt the plane take off. Was this even worth it? Then he heard a small cry from behind him. He ran towards the cry and gasped. Marie. His newfound pride and joy. She was filthy! She was clearly sad, uncared for, and unloved. Tom went to work. He packed everything he thought Marie would need. He took Marie from the soldiers, along with the bag he packed and rushed to the bathroom. He rushed to change her and her diaper. He gently washed her and dried her off. He rubbed lotion off on her stomach in a daze, only wanting for her to be cleaned, and cared for. Then, she laughed. Tom instantly snapped out of it. Marie was smiling and laughing and giggling! Tom smiled too and gently tickled her feet. She giggled and Tom smiled. Tom grabbed one of her onesies and dressed her.

He grabbed one of Marie's toes. "This little piggy went to the market," Tom grabbed another toe. "This little piggy stayed home.

Marie laughed harder, and louder as Tom continued. He picked her up and walked her towards the main carrier area of the plane where everyone was standing awkwardly.

"This little piggy had roast beef! But this little piggy had none." Tom made sure to exaggerate the voices and facial expressions. He walked into the room and ignored everyone else's stares.

"And this little piggy went wee! All the way home!" Tom laughed and spun Marie around as they smiled and laughed.

Tom grabbed a bottle from his bag and started feeding Marie. He had previously warmed the bottled and kept it in a heated container. Marie finished the bottle in less than five minutes! He reached into his bag and pulled out another bottle for her, and she finished it again in less than five minutes! She drank two more bottles! She must've been starving!

Tom sighed and reached into the bag and pulled out a small cube that had an antenna sticking out of it. He threw it towards some of the soldiers. They jumped out of they way.

"BOMB!" One of them cried.

The cube blew up into a crib for Marie. Tom rolled his eyes and kissed Marie on the forehead, and placed her gently in her crib. Tom watched her and smiled. He than turned to the group.

"You have some explaining to do. Just, be quiet. She doesn't go down easily, and she's a light sleeper." Tom said sternly. He sighed and rubbed his temples. "Can anyone explain to me why, why you decided to not care for my daughter? For a day, you left her to sit in her dirty diaper, didn't bathe her, heck I don't even know if you fed her! Don't you have any common sense?!"

"Tom, calm down."

Tom gasped. He knew that voice. "Jessie?"

Jessie walked towards Tom and Reggie wrapped him in a big hug.

"Wha-? I..." Tom mumbled. "I didn't..."

Jessie sighed. "Shit happened while you were gone. Edd and Matt hired this girl to steal you and Tord's kid. Her name was...fuck I suck at names...Reg, help me out here."

"May! Her name was May! She said that she tried to seduce Tord, but couldn't get through to him!" Reggie exclaimed softly.

Tom gasped. "I knew she was suspicious! God, I should've known!" He ran a hand through his hair. "What else happened?"
