Chapter 1
"So someone wanted to see mommy at work and I said that we couldn't go but she didn't want to hear it," Elliot smirked as he pushed the double stroller into the Lieutenant's office. Little six month old Grace sat in front, cute as a button, and three year old Noah sat in the back, entertained by his book.
"If this keeps happening on your lunch breaks we'll never get anything done," Olivia laughed and stood up from behind her desk. She moved over toward her husband and gave him a quick hug and a kiss before scooping up Grace.
"Hello beautiful, were you missing mommy?" She wanted to know. Despite the fact that she was only six months old, Grace nodded as if she'd fully understood the question.
"I'll take that as a yes. So how hard was it to get you away from Lucy?" Again little Grace's eyes lit up and this time she gurgled.
"I told Lucy to take a break and she promised that she'd be back before I got these little goobers home," Elliot smiled.
"Goobers?" Noah spoke up.
"You're the biggest goober and she's the little goober," his adoptive daddy teased and Noah laughed.
"I still got it," Elliot chuckled.
"Oh you got something all right," it was Fin in the doorway. They all turned their focus around to him and Elliot gave him a look while Olivia laughed.
"You got something?" She asked.
"Yeah, we caught a case. Melinda is already on scene. You want me and Carisi to run it down?" Fin wanted to know.
"I thought Carisi was taking Amanda to her last doctor's appointment before she goes on maternity leave," Olivia looked confused. Fin was about to answer when they heard a shout from the bullpen.
"I need some help in here!" It was Carisi and he sounded really concerned. Olivia quickly set Grace back into the stroller and then followed Fin and Elliot out of the office.
"What happened?" Fin asked when he saw the blonde on the floor, completely passed out.
"She said she wasn't feeling good and was going to head to the ladies room and then she just collapsed," Carisi explained while checking her pulse.
"A bus is on its way," Briscoe announced. Olivia looked over to him and nodded.
"How's her pulse?" Elliot asked.
"Fine," Carisi shook his head, not sure what had happened to his partner.
"It's probably her blood pressure," Olivia said, speaking from experience. The elevator dinged and out rushed the paramedics.
"Carisi go with her to the hospital. I don't want her alone when she comes to. Elliot take the kids home. Fin, you Briscoe, and I will be heading to the crime scene," Olivia ordered as the paramedics loaded the unconscious Rollins onto the gurney and headed back toward the elevator. Instructions given and their downed colleague in the good hands of the FDNY, the group dispersed, all knowing no matter how much they wanted to be with their downed colleague, they had to stay focused.
Not long after, Fin, Briscoe, and Olivia were standing at the crime scene, surveying the mess of the apartment that had been left in the wake of the attack. Fin surveyed the rooms while Briscoe coordinated with forensics.
"What have we got Melinda?" Olivia asked the medical examiner. The body of a young woman in her twenties lay on the bed, sheets and blankets twisted with her body; blood soaked the bedding and the bed, and was splashed on the walls.
"What have you got? I heard the ten-thirteen go out over the radio," Melinda wanted to know.
"Rollins collapsed in the squad room. Carisi is with her and he promised to update us as soon as he knew something," the Lieutenant explained.
"I hope she and the baby will be ok," Melinda said.
"I hope so too. She's really excited and we've been trying to help as much as we can but we aren't family," Olivia shook her head, concerned that maybe the blonde hadn't been telling them everything.
"Yes you are. Her family hasn't been any help," the medical examiner shook her head. Olivia nodded and changed the subject,
"What should I be telling this poor girl's family?"
"She was assaulted and beaten within an inch of her life. I don't know what would bring someone to do this to the poor girl," Melinda heaved a sigh.
"I don't know either but we'll find out," Olivia heaved a sigh of her own.
