Chapter 2: The Early Morning / Before Work
The newborn baby was staring straight into Katie's eyes. " Ah, Katie little Ellie had your eyes." said Nick staring at Ellie. " But she got the rest of you, sweetie" said Katie. Like Nick, Ellie had dark brown hair, a wonderful smile, and an addict to sports especially football. " She will be such a Cowboys fan" said a smiling Nick who holding Ellie in his arms. " I don't really care about the Cowboys, but I really liked the Colts" said Katie who was rubbing Nick's shoulder. " Well, she will be both" said Nick. Nick hold Ellie for a while when his cell rang. Nick put Ellie into Katie's hands when he flipped his cell. " Stokes" said Nick. Katie can hear Catherine's voice on the other end. " Nick, can you come to the lab. Some files had been missing, including yours. So, come here for a couple hours and then come back to Katie and the baby". said Catherine. " Sure, I be right there. Thanks,bye" said Nick turning his cell off. Nick turned to Katie and say " they need me there for a couple hours for something, but I come back right after I done". " Sure, me and Ellie will be right here" said Katie who was still holding Ellie. Nick kissed Katie on the lips and Ellie on the forehead and left the room.
After Nick left, Katie noticed very different about Ellie. She looked at Ellie's skin which is turning very blue. " Ellie" yelled Katie. Ellie's eyes didn't open. " Holy Shit" Katie said quietly. With Ellie still in her arms, Katie jumped out of bed and pushed the " code blue" button on the wall. Seconds later, a bunch of doctors and nurses came into the room and asked what happen." After my boyfriend left for work, the baby just turned blue" said Katie to one of the doctors. " We will figure out something wrong with her, I promise" said the doctor. They put Ellie into one of those baby carts and wheeled her out of the room. That when Katie last saw her baby alive.
" Ellie" said Katie who woke up in a dark living room. Katie stared at the wall clock. It is 5 am which is a hour earlier than Katie suppose to wake up. Katie sighed. " It is just a bad dream" said Katie to herself. A bad dream that she had for a couple weeks. " Since it is 5 and I can't fall asleep, so I have to a early start then." thought Katie and jump off the couch. She grabbed a robe and headed to the showers.
15 minutes later, a bathrobe - wearing Katie got out of the bathroom to grab her work clothes. Since she worked as a FBI agent for almost 3 years now, she know what to wear to work by grabbing her " nice work clothes". The " nice work clothes" contained of a nice fitted trousers that show off her rounded butt, a pretty shirt in a color she likes, a jacket that matched her trousers, and little heels for desk work or leather flats for running off bad guys. She usually wears her own jewelry with it like little hoops and pearls plus a pearl ring that belongs to her mother on her left ring finger. Usually she wears her hair in a ponytail, half pony or in a bun, but just today she wears her hair down so her natural waves can frame her face. For makeup, she only use concealer, a little eye shadow, blush, mascara, and lip gloss. After nearly 30 minutes of primping herself, Katie looked at herself at the mirror. Katie looked very professorial, stylish but still herself. She accepted the outfit, grabbed her things and went out of the bathroom.
After she put her things away in her suitcases, she poured herself some coffee and made herself some scrambled eggs. While she eating the eggs and reading a new "The New York Times" that she grabbed from the front porch, she looked up and saw Greg going to the coffee maker. Greg saw Katie staring and say " hey, you looked very nice today". Katie take that as a nice thing to say. " Dream about my butt last night" Katie teased him. Greg laughed and say " no". Katie looked at the clock. The clock say 6: 45 am. " You know that this is the time that Meredith usually goes to work. What keeping her so long?" asked Katie. " Oh, Mere told that she is not feeling so good last night." said Greg. " She looked well yesterday" said Katie. " After you left the room, Meredith felt that she is going to throw up." " So we didn't have sex at all, but this morning she called work and told them that she is taking the day off." " I hope she get well soon"said Katie. " I hope so too" said Greg. Katie about to put her plate away when Greg took it away from her. " I do that for you so you won't be late". " Thanks bye" said Katie to Greg. " Have a great first day" said Greg. After he said that, Katie closed the door, went outside, got into her car, turn the engine on , and drove off to the FBI Building.
