This is my first story and I am only 14 so I would really enjoy reviews telling me how I did! I know I will probably never happen but I like to hope they would be together! Thank you so much for reading and hopefully reviewing too:)
Hallie by Surprise
It was the worst day to get driven home by Derek Morgan. The snow falling created an almost impenetrable sheet of white that covered everything. The temperature was below freezing and the roads were slick with ice. Heavy clumps of freshly dropped snow was getting stuck in the grip of the tires, making it almost impossible to have any traction whatsoever. They violently swerved around the corners, her hair whipped across her face as they slid up and down the streets.
"Derek slow down before you get us killed!" she yelled as the SUV almost crashed into a tree.
"Come on Princess... live a little. Haven't you ever done this before?" He laughed as he watched her hand clutching onto the 'Oh shit' handle.
She narrowed her eyes at Morgan giving him a death stare. "You mean tried to kill myself? No! What if we get married… what if we had kids... would you do this with them?" she snapped as they slowly pulled to a stop at a set of traffic lights.
She didn't even notice what she was saying until her thoughts were out in the open. She had never really thought about the possibility of them getting married or even starting a family. They had been dating for almost a year now and things between them just seemed right, but they still decided to keep it from the team. They knew it was against regulations but they couldn't help that they were in love.
"Whoa, slow down tiger... it hasn't even been a year yet. If this make you feel better we can make a deal." He turned to Emily and flashed her a sweet smile.
She nodded.
"The day you tell me that you're pregnant I promise I will become a more careful driver but until then let me have some fun." He couldn't help but laugh at the terrified expression that covered her pale face, knowing that it wasn't going to end until she was finally home. It was like riding a horrifying rollercoaster that you can't get off.
He chuckled all the way to Emily's house; watching her scream as they swerved around was hilarious to say the least.
At her condo, Morgan grabbed her bag from the back of the vehicle and opened her door. He so desperately wanted to stay the night, but she wasn't up to it. And lately it seemed like she never was. She was always tired by the time they got home, and that just wasn't like her. She was the person who persuaded everyone else to go out for drinks after long cases not the one who just left without hardly saying goodbye.
As she reached to unclip her seatbelt pain hit her, causing her instinctively to clutch her stomach with both hands. She had never felt so much pain in her life. Not when she was hit by a truck, not even when she was stabbed by a wooden stake, no this hurt much more. It was an uncomfortable pressure, squeezing in the center of the abdomen that hurt like hell.
She unclipped her seatbelt and bent her body at the hips, but suddenly it stopped.
"You okay Em?" Morgan asked, concerned, as he rubbed his hand up and down her arm.
"Yeah I'm fine… it's probably that burger coming back to haunt me. I told you the center didn't seem very cooked." She didn't know who she was trying to convince. Her scared boyfriend or herself.
Once she was in the comfort of her home she began to relax. Derek stayed for a few minutes just to make sure she was truly okay. Then after almost half an hour of chatting about random things she said goodnight to him with a kiss and a hug and he left.
Finally she was alone, now she could enjoy the peace and quiet of the house. Slowly she trudged up the stairs to her room. It was then that another pain hit. She almost couldn't stand as she leaned over on the end of the bed with her head resting on her intertwined fingers. She wanted to scream until the urge to vomit took over and she ran to the bathroom. 'It has to be food poisoning' she thought as she rinsed out her mouth out with cold sink water. She slowly sunk to the ground and rested her head in her hand for a moment until the doorbell rang. She pulled herself to her feet and rushed downstairs to see who it could possibly be.
"Did you forget something?" she asked Derek as she opened the door.
He quickly came inside as he shivered. "The battery froze…. Can I just crash here for the night?" He smiled sweetly as he rubbed his hands up and down his legs, trying to warm up.
All Emily wanted was to go to bed. She was tired; her entire body ached. She really just wanted him to go home, but if he couldn't then she would have to have his company for the rest of the night. "Sure, but I'm not feeling great so I was just going to bed."
"Oh, but it's only 6:30... aren't you hungry?" he questioned as he placed his hand on her waist and looked down into her big dark brown eye. He tucked her hair behind her ears.
"No, not really. I'm more nauseous than anything right now. But I guess I could sit around with you for a while." she said rubbing her stomach and looking from his gaze.
"Okay, good because there is a Big Bang Theory marathon on right now that I think you will enjoy!" he said as he found the TV remote and flipped the channel. Then they huddled under a blanket on the couch and fell asleep.
Almost an hour later Emily's eyes fluttered open as a sharp pain in her abdomen hit her, and this time in her back. She wrapped her arms around her stomach and she tried to stand, but she couldn't move. It was like she was paralyzed. She began to panic as she looked around the room only to find herself alone and the house was pitch black. She felt like she was dying! She couldn't handle the pain anymore and she let out a blood curling scream. Derek came running down the stairs with a flashlight in his hand.
"Emily!" he said as he ran to her and placed his hand on her arched back. He began to rub circles on her back to comfort her. "Emily are you okay?"
She couldn't speak; she could barely breathe as she shook her head no. She leaned over her feet and held her hand over her stomach. Then the pain began to stop. She took a deep breath and leaned back against Morgan's chest.
"What happened?" Morgan asked as he wrapped his arms round her waist.
"I don't know." She said shaking her head then she quickly pulled her hand to her mouth. "I think I'm going to be sick." Emily said and ran off to the bathroom. After vomiting twice she came back and took her seat on the couch once again.
"Why did you leave?" she asked before snuggling back into his arms and leaning her head against his shoulder.
He ran his hand through her hair and hugged her tight. "The power went out. I went to fix it but… I think everyone else's power is out too." He said, pointing at a house across the street. The windows were black.
"Oh... You know what? I'm really hungry do you want something?" she asked with a smile on her face as she stood up from his lap and slowly made her way to the kitchen. She scavenged through the refrigerator and found two containers of strawberry Greek yogurt. She opened a drawer that was at about hip height and found two silver spoons. As she came back to the couch with their snack the pain struck she tried to grab the counter but the before she could her legs let out knocking her limp body to the floor in a heap. "Derek!"
What did you think? Was it good? I really hope you will review my story it would mean a lot to me!
