Ana struggles for the tenth time against the bonds holding her to the airplane chair.

"now, now, don't struggle" Abril, La Fiera's right hand woman, says, removing the blind fold.

"I told your mother I'd be out before you know it." La Fiera smirks.

"where are we going?" Ana asks, softly.

"Home... where I am the strongest. You're wondering why you're still alive." La Fiera tilts her head.

"The baby... you've been obsessed with him since the beginning" Ana realizes, softly.

"She is here to protect you. Or rather, to protect el niño. You see, I'm not going to kill you. Not yet, anyway. Not until... my baby is born." La Fiera explains, gesturing to Abril before putting her hand on Ana's belly.

Ana's breath hitches as she realizes why she was kidnapped.

[Timeskip]

"Welcome to your new home. It's beautiful, no? I had it built with the look of the old world with the comforts of the new." La Fiera says as they get out of the car at her huge mansion.

"And the security. This place is defensible against everything short of an air strike. Para hacer fácil - I'll save you the trouble. We have six guard teams, two with dogs. But we rotate them daily so they don't fall into a routine. But you'll never get to test that, because for the next three months, I will not be leaving your side." Abril explains.

Ana nods, speechless as she looks up at the house.

"Come. Let me show you to your room." La Fiera gently takes Ana's upper arm and leads her into the house.

"Bienvenida. You didn't tell me que están bonita" A woman says when they enter the suite where Ana will be staying.

"This is Dr. Morales. She brought my angel Diego into this world. And she'll be living here with you, solely focused on you and the baby." La Fiera introduces her.

"Let's get you settled so I can check your vitals -- make sure the baby's fine after all your recent stress." Dr. Morales says, gently taking Ana's hand.

Ana flinches back, her eyes wide and her hands coming to protect her belly. "No"

"Hermana, you seem to misunderstand. You have no choice here. No free will. You are here as a surrogate for my child not Angela's. As long as you play nice, you will want for nothing. A life full of pure luxury. But if you resist... if you cause trouble... Dr. Morales will put you into a twilight sleep, and you will spend the next three months as an incubator -- not even conscious when your baby comes and your life ends." La Fiera threatens.

Ana nods, wanting to keep the baby alive, even if she doesn't survive.

"good, now let's get you out of those uncomfortable gringo clothes and into something more soothing, yes?" Dr. Morales coaxes with Ana reluctantly going along with it.

[Time Skip]

"oh, hi" Ana says, softly, waking up to see Abril watching over her by the end of the bed. "when do you sleep?"

"I never sleep." Abril replies.

"you can't survive without sleep" Ana frowns, softly, curling up as much as she can into a ball with her very pregnant belly.

"When I was, um, a niña chiquita, these soldiers came and they took my father. Ripped me from his arms. Just threw me away like nothing. The doctors told my mother that the fall damaged the part of the brain that controls sleep -- and arousal. Ironically, although I can never fall asleep, I am turned on all of the time." Abril explains, doing a once over of Ana and making Ana cringe.

"She can't take Angela's baby" Ana protests, softly. "I won't let her, Angela won't let her, you have to get me out of here, or you'll be killed with her"

"Then I die. And I will finally rest." Abril answers.

Ana sighs, sitting up fully, feeling it all come crashing down on her.

"what is it, chica?" Abril asks, as Ana starts to tear up.

"what do you think it is?" Ana whispers, willing herself not to cry but everything is happening all at once and she's overwhelmed and scared and confused and this is why she can't do undercover work because something like this has always left her overwhelmed.

"I've been kidnapped to a country I've never been to before by a crazy woman whose son died and now wants to have the baby that I am the surrogate mother of" Ana cries, a few hot tears falling down her face.

"now, now, chica, don't cry" Abril coos, wiping her tears from her face.

Ana sniffles, shaking her head. "let me go"

"I can't, chica" Abril frowns. "but a little birdy told me that you crave peanut butter?"

Ana looks up at her with shaky eyes. "no"

"ah, but yes" Abril smiles and Dr. Morales walks in.

"this is peanut butter soup, made by our best chef" Abril explains, setting it down in front of Ana.

"I'm not eating that" Ana whispers.

"oh, but you will" Dr. Morales threatens, holding up a syringe filled with a drug that will send Ana into a twilight sleep.

Ana sniffles and looks down at the soup. Her hand is trembling as she picks up the metal spoon and sips some of the soup.

[Timeskip]

"Hey. Are you okay?" Wesley asks, entering Ana's suite.

"Wesley" Ana runs over and hugs him, willing herself to not cry. "where's Angela? is she okay? why are you here?"

"Negotiating for your release." Wesley answers.

"Hey. We have a plan. Buying time until Tim, Harper, and Angela can get us out of here." Wesley whispers into her ear to calm her down.

The mention of Tim makes Ana relax a little bit before Abril pulls Ana away from Wesley.

"Hey! Hey! Back it up! Back it up! She's not yours anymore! No, she's mine! Okay? And you don't touch her unless I say you can. Do you understand me?" Abril threatens.

"H-he got it" Ana promises, softly. "right?"

"Yeah, I'm good." Wesley nods.

[Timeskip]

Ana is resting in bed, Wesley sitting as close to her as Abril will allow when there's the sounds of fireworks in the distance. Ana flinches a little and sits up.

"That means there's a problem. We have to go to Plan B." Wesley whispers.

"What's Plan B?" Ana whispers back.

"Means they can't get in to rescue us. We have to get La Fiera to get us out of here." Wesley whispers.

"but she's not letting me leave until I have the baby" Ana protests, softly.

"Hey! Go get a doctor! Hey, go! She's feeling really lightheaded." Wesley calls to Abril.

"She's had blood pressure issues during the pregnancy." Wesley explains.

"Uh, lay her on the bed." Abril orders.

"Go! Hurry up!" Wesley calls and Abril leaves the room.

Wesley pulls out a syringe hidden in his suit pocket.

"what's that?" Ana asks, softly, her eyes wide.

"Pitocin. Enough to start contractions." Wesley explains.

"No, no. It's too early. You will lose the baby, we can't" Ana shakes her head, getting teary eyed again.

"Ana, Ana. We need to get them to take us to the hospital, okay? Angela will be there with a drug to counteract the effects. I know you're scared. Listen, I'm scared, too. But this is the only way outta here. Trust me, okay?" Wesley insists.

"if you're sure" Ana agrees, softly, sniffling and lifting up the sleeve to her dress so he can inject her with the drug.

[Timeskip]

"She's in preterm labor. Only 29 weeks in. During the contractions, the abdomen is stiff and has palpable uterine hardening." Morales is saying over the radio while they walk to two SUV's.

"Come on, let's go! Let's hurry up!" Wesley exclaims while Abril helps Ana who is whimpering in pain due to the contractions.

"You okay? It's fine. You'll be all right. Let's go!" Wesley assures Ana from her other side.

"What did you do?" La Fiera questions Wesley.

"Nothing. Hey!" Wesley exclaims when he's shoved into one of the SUV's.

"Wait! Wait!" Ana says, softly, reaching for him.

"Take him to the orchard! Find us at the hospital!" La Fiera orders Abril, taking over helping Ana to another SUV.

"wait, please, I need-" Ana starts to cry, in a lot of pain and not able to say anything else in protest as La Fiera helps her into the SUV.

[Timeskip]

They arrive at the back entrance to the hospital and La Fiera helps her out of the car. She's about to walk up the back steps when Angela and Harper burst through the back hospital door with a wheelchair.

Ana can barely register what's happening before Tim, driving an ambulance, slams it into the SUV and throws smoke bombs inside of the SUV. Ana inhales some of the smoke and starts to cough while Angela and Harper both shoot at La Fiera and her men. La Fiera grabs Ana's arm to stop her from going with Angela and Harper. Ana brings her leg up to kick La Fiera but she grabs Ana's leg and flips her over.

Ana braces with her arms to not injure her belly. Tim runs over to her and picks her up while Angela and Harper come in. He carries her into the back entrance of the hospital and Harper locks the door behind them.

"how are you feeling?" Angela asks once Tim sets her down.

"it hurts, a lot" Ana murmurs, crying a little bit.

"ssh, sunshine, breathe with me" Tim coos while Angela injects her with a solution that reverses the effects of the Pitocin.

"Wesley, he's-" Ana starts.

"we know, we know, we're going to get you out of here first" Tim murmurs, gently helping her stand up.

He can't carry her again because he needs to be able to shoot when it comes down to it.

They run out into a little courtyard in the hospital where Max, a friend of Tim's, is waiting in a helicopter. Harper and Tim manage to take down La Fiera's men but La Fiera is still chasing them. While Tim gets Ana into the ambulance, Angela turns and shoots at La Fiera, killing her.

The second she's in the helicopter, she's wrapped in a blanket by Harper and Tim holds her close to his side, trying to soothe her trembling.

"we need to make another stop" Tim announces to Max.

"No other stops. I told you that." Max answers, but Tim cocks his gun and points it at Max.

"Okay, we're gonna make another stop." Max surrenders immediately.

[Timeskip - Three Months Later]

"okay, I still can't get over how big the closet is" Lucy announces, emerging from her bedroom in Ana's apartment.

With all of the craziness with La Fiera over with, Tim moved back to his house and Lucy moved in, not able to stay in the same apartment where Jackson was.

Ana giggles. "you ready to go?"

"yeah, I think so" Lucy nods.

Ana stands up, wincing a little.

Giving birth to a baby is no fun and she is already feeling some of the affects of being Postpartum. Surrogate mothers struggle with it much more because they're not raising the baby, instead another is raising the baby they carried for nine months.

She's had a couple of good crying sessions but Lucy or Tim or Tamara or Angela have always been there to hold her through it.

Lucy and Ana have cried together over the loss of Jackson, but they're getting through each day as best they can.

"hi" Ana smiles when Tim knocks on the door to pick them up to bring them to Angela's welcome home celebration.

"hi, baby" Tim smiles, hugging her. "how are you feeling?"

"still pretty sore but 'm okay" Ana answers, softly.

"good" Tim kisses the top of her head.
