Author's note: English is not my mother language, so I'm sorry for any mistakes.
This is something that has been on my mind for a while now.
I'm using the same names for my OCs as I did in "Lucy is in love", but this is not a prequel to that story. I just really like the names and thought that they fit with this story too :)
*****************************************************************************
The news had reported that it was the biggest storm to hit the city in 30 years.
Don Flack sat at his couch eating a pizza, drinking a beer and watching a hockey game. It was one of his only night offs in a long time.
It had been almost three years since Jess had died, but still he rather take as many shifts as he could then to come home to an empty apartment. He was better, his friends in the force and in the lab were alwayd there for him. His family too. But he still felt lonely most of the time.
Suddenly there was a thunder and all the lights went out. The only light illuminating the room was the moon and the cars that passed in the street.
He reach inside a drawer and took a flashlight, he was walking to the kitchen to put the pizza box in the trash when he heard a scream coming form the hallway.
Grabbing the flashlight and his gun he opened his apartment door.
He pointed at the end of the hall with his flashlight and saw a pregnant woman leaning against a wall and holding her belly.
"M'am?" He asked walking towards her "Are you all right?"
She looked up at him, fear on her eyes " I think my water broke. I was going to take a cab, but the lights went out and I..."
She trailed off and grabbed her belly in pain.
"Can you walk down the stairs?" He asked her.
She looked at the dark stairs and shook her head "I don't think so"
"Okay. I'll call 911 but I think you need to sit down. C'mom we can wait in my apartment" " He helped her walk letting her support her wait on his.
"No" She said and looked up at him "That's very nice of you but if I'm having this baby here I want to do it in my own bed"
He chuckled "Now that you mentioned I think I would want that too"
Even in the dark and just the flashlights illuminating them he could tell that she was smiling.
They got inside her apartment and Flack noticed that there were still boxes on the floor.
He helped her get in her bed.
"I have to go to my place and grab my phone so I can call 911, are going to be all right?"
She nodded and he handed her his flashlight. "Here. Is there anyone you would like to call. Your husband or family?"
She shook her head "No husband and no family on the city"
He just nodded and left for his apartment.
A few minutes later he was back with his phone in his hand and an other flashlight.
"The city is a total mess because of the blackout but they are coming. Don't worry"
She nodded "Okay" She tried to sound okay but he could tell she was terrified.
"So you are my new neighbor?" He asked sitting in the edge of the bed next to her.
"Yeah" She smiled "Elizabeth Johnson" She held up her hand and he took it.
"Don Flak. 6B"
"Oh, you're the cop?" She asked smiling.
"Yeah. How do you know?"
"Mrs. Porter from 6D" She smiled "She loves you. She went on and on about how good looking you were and how thoughtful..."
He grinned "Yeah. I know. That gets me a lot of cookies"
Elizabeth chuckled
"Hey" He held up his hand "Have you tried them? They are fantastic"
She was laughing but her laugh stopped when an other contraction hit her.
"Okay?"
"Yeah" She said trying to smile at him "I moved here almost a week now. How come I haven't seen you here yet?"
"I do a lot of night shifts"
She nodded "Must be hard"
He shrugged "It's the job" he looked around the room. "Do you have any thing we can make the room brighter?"
"There are some candles in a box in the living room. I think is the one that says 'bedroom' "
Flack found the box and soon the room was illuminated with the soft lights of the candles.
With the candle lights he could see her face more clearly.
She had dark red hair and hers eyes looked like they were green but she looked really scared.
"You know" He said trying to calm her down "They teach emergency procedures at the academy"
"Yeah?" She smiled and looked up and locked eyes with him. Mrs. Porter was right she thought. He was very good looking "How many babies have you delivered?"
"None" He grinned and she laughed softly. Then he smiled at her "It will be fine Elizabeth. You'll have your baby in a safe and clean hospital"
She nodded "Okay" She looked at him "Will you stay with me until the paramedics arrive?"
He smiled "Sure"
