Hey I decided to write another story. I based the new female character on 'General Hospital' actress Kelly Monaco. For the purpose of this story I changed the date of Angell's death to October 28th. The italics are the thoughts of my new OC Hailey Brooks.
Blue………
Blue means positive………
Three times….three test…all the same result
It's amazing damn stick and a simple color can change your life forever. Sitting on my bathroom floor, hands shaking as I once again check the test in my hand realization hits and I cant stop the tears from coming. How could I let this happen?
Hailey Brooks was always the smart girl in school. Growing up in Staten Island where she graduated high school at 17, then moved to Connecticut to attend the best forensics school in the country University of New Haven. She graduated at 21 and worked in a few labs in the state. At 23 she decided to move back to New York when she heard Mac Taylor was looking to hire a new investigator. She had heard a lot about Detective Taylor and really wanted to work for him. Luckily for her she was hired and started in January of 2009. She quickly became friends with her new coworkers, especially Adam Ross. Hailey really enjoyed hanging around Adam, he's weird but she enjoyed that and they considered each other best friends. And even though she sometimes budded heads with Detective Flack, the two developed a close friendship.
I should have never let this happen. I'm not a one night stand kind of girl and I rarely ever drink. I should have stopped at the first one, but I was having such a tough day at work and needed a release. I guess he did too.
Hailey sat there lost in her thoughts when she heard a knock at the door. Startled she wiped the tears from her face, threw out the test and washed her hands. Catching a glimpse of herself in the mirror she had to laugh at how terrible she looked, she was wearing a white t shirt, large grey sweatpants she had stolen from Adam and her hair was in a messy bun, although she had washed her face her eyes were still red.
"Hales, its me open up" Adam shouted from the outside her door
"I'm coming" she replied and walked to the door to let her friend in
"You look terrible" Adam told her
"Way to make a girl feel good Adam" she laughed
"Sorry" he said "Are you alright"
"I'm fine" she said then noticed he had two small white bags in his hands with the name of her favorite diner on it
"You come baring gifts" she asked
He knew something was wrong but decided not to push her now. "I got us breakfast" he told her.
"So whad ya get me" she asked
"Your favorite" he replied pulling her food out the bag. It was pancakes, scrambled eggs and sausage.
"You're the best" she smiled grabbing the food and sitting at her kitchen table
"And I bought you a coffee, just how you like it, light with three equals" he told her
"Thanks but I'll just have some orange juice" she quickly responded knowing that pregnant women should not drink caffeine
"Are you sure your okay you never turn down coffee" he asked concerned
"I'm fine Adam" she snapped
"I'm sorry, its that time of the month" she lied as the two sat down to enjoy their breakfast.
"Way too much info Hales but thanks for letting me know" he smiled
After breakfast Hailey went to her bedroom to change but first she needed to make an appointment to see a doctor to confirm her pregnancy although tree test couldn't lie. Since her car was currently at her mechanic and Adam lived close to her, so he was her ride to work. A few minutes later she came out of her room feeling sick to her stomach wearing an white elbow length flowy top, nice black pants and yellow heels, even though she knew she wouldn't be able to wear those for much longer. Being only 5'3 she wore heels a lot and this pair added three inches to her small stature.
She walked out of the room and quickly felt her breakfast coming up and ran to the bathroom forgetting to close the door behind her. Concerned Adam walked over to the door cautiously walking in to see his best friend hunched over the toilet. He walked over to her and sat behind her as he slowly rubbed circles on her back. When she was done she got up washed her face and left the bathroom without saying a word.
"Hailey" Adam started
"Don't" she said holding up her hand to stop him from saying anything
"You need to see a doctor" he told her concerned
"I already called and the only appointment she has today is in ten minutes so we need to leave now" she asked grabbing her white pea coat and purse before heading out the door with Adam following closely behind. The two didn't have to be in work for another forty minute
They arrived at the doctors as Hailey tells Adam to stay in the car and that it wouldn't take long. And it didn't, fifteen minutes later she walked out and Adam could tell she had been crying but he decided not to say anything. Her doctor confirmed that she was two months pregnant and told her to make another appointment the next month.
The two drove in silence until Hailey couldn't take it and told Adam what was going on.
"I'm pregnant" she admitted as Adam suddenly slammed on his brakes
"What the hell" she shouted and he continued driving
"Sorry" he replied at a loss for words, he knew his friend wasn't in a relationship and she wasn't one for meaningless sex but he didn't want to press.
They arrived at the crime lab where they both went to the lab, she had a test to run for a case the team was working on. She walked over to the GCMS to test the unknown white trace that was found at a murder. A women had been found dead in her home and the mysterious substance was found in a cut on her arm. Placing the substance in the machine she waited for the results to appear. It came back as zinc and titanium. Adam had walked over to her an read the result out loud.
"Zinc and titanium" Adam said
"Otherwise know as white oil paint" Hailey responded
"Yeah the husband is a painter" she informed him and grabbed her cell phone that was in the pocket of her pants. " I gotta tell Stella"
"Tell Stella what" they heard from the doorway turning around to see if it was Stella
"The unknown substance turns out to be oil paint" Hailey informed her and handed her the paper with the results on it.
"Thanks" Stella said and walked out
"Soo uhh whose the father" Adam suddenly asked his friend but she couldn't answer because Stella had returned to see the two with shocked looks on their faces
"I forgot to ask Adam did you get a match on that print" she asked the lab tech
"No" he shook his head and once again Stella left
"Look Adam I don't wanna talk about this right now but you have to promise me not to tell anyone" Hailey asked her friend
"Tell what" Danny said who had just walked into the lab
"Good god can you knock" Hailey groaned
"Wow calm down princess" joked Danny
"Shutup" she said
"What's wrong with her" Danny asked Adam
"Its her time of the month" Adam laughed
"Thank you Perez Hilton" she snapped before taking off her white lab coat and leaving the room.
Later on in the day after her shift was over Hailey was leaving the crime lab to try and hail a cab. Adam had to stay late so now she needed to find a ride. On her lunch break she had gone to a corner store to pick up something small to eat, knowing she wouldn't be able to keep much down. The store was next to a book store where she purchased a few magazines. She had gone past the section with books about pregnancy and couldn't help but to by the obligatory book "What to Expect when your Expecting". Which she was holding in her hands, along with her purse. Stepping outside the lab she dropped the book and magazines on the ground.
"Great" she muttered then noticed a large hand appear and grabbed her belongings
"Thanks" she said and looked up as Flack handed gave her the items back and fortunately he had not noticed the book which she had now stuffed in her purse
She walked to the curb to try and get a cab to stop, but none did. "I thought you had a ride" Flack questioned
"Adam's gotta stay late and nobody else can do it" she informed the detective
"I can" he said as she turned around to face him
"I just gotta drop something off inside and then I can take you home" he told her
Hailey shook her head " I'm fine"
"I insist" he smiled "Just giver me five minutes" to which she nodded and he entered the building
Five minutes later Flack walked out to see Hailey leaning against the building.
"You ready" he asked and again she just nodded and the two walked to his car. They were in his car and Flack noticed that Hailey was being very quiet. At a red light Flack turned to his friend and asked "You alright you've never been this quiet" to which Hailey couldn't help but smile.
"Ahh she smiles" he joked
"You're a funny guy you know that" she joked
"I try" he smiled "But seriously"
"I'm fine Don, I'm just tired" she lied and he dropped the subject and they drove the rest of way in silence. When he pulled up in front of her apartment building she got out of the car after saying thanks.
Flack rolled down the window to say "See ya tomorrow"
Once inside she dropped the books and her purse on her coffee table and then took a shower. When she finished her shower she changed into her pajamas which was a simple black tank top and lime green pants. Letting out a huge breath she took a seat on her couch. Picking up her US Magazine which had Kourtney Kardashian and Kendra Wilkinson with their new babies on the cover she felt tears pricking her eyes once again today at the thought of this pregnancy and thinking about the father.
How am I going to tell Flack that in seven months he's going to be a father.
Yeah, its another Flack story. I really wanted to write about Flack being a father. Let me know what you think about it. This chapter is short but the others will be longer.
