Chapter 9
The next day, Amanda and her friends and family decide to spend the evening at the park. They head to the park and they walk around and they look around. Everyone at the park sits down on the grass with towels.
"Hopefully, we don't see Patton here." Fin says.
"Me either. I don't like him." Tony replies back.
Everyone at the park is talking about Amanda and Declan's upcoming wedding. They play with baby Jesse and they tickle her. As Amanda and her friends and family play with baby Jesse, she sees Patton at the park and walking up to them.
"Guys, he's here." Amanda says.
"Who, Amanda?" Fin asks.
"Patton. He's at the park." Amanda replies.
Amanda and her friends and family get ready to leave the park and they run for their lives. Patton sees Jesse on the blanket and he grabs her and he takes off with her. Amanda starts to wonder where Jesse is and she starts to panic.
"Has any one seen Jesse? Where's my baby?" Amanda asks, scared.
"Last time I saw her, she was sitting on the blanket." Declan replies.
The whole gang start to look for Jesse and they call the police. They call the police and they arrive minutes later. The police sit down with the gang and they start to ask them questions about Jesse and the kidnapping.
"Ms. Rollins, is there anyone that could have taken your daughter?" the officer asks Amanda.
"I don't know. Nobody has anything against us." Amanda replies.
Soon, the police take the gang to Amanda's track coach's house and they go inside. They get into the house and they look everywhere in the house for Jesse. They wonder if she'll ever be found. Carisi shows everyone in the house a picture of Jesse and they tell him that they haven't seen her.
"Someone took my goddaughter and we have to find her." Carisi says.
"Jesse has to be somewhere alive." Reese replies.
Doom says that he found a baby skeleton under the blanket. He gets ready to remove the blanket and the gang wonder who's under the blanket. Amanda hopes that it's not her daughter. The police and the gang remove the blanket and Amanda starts to feel sick.
"Oh, my God. I think I'm going to be sick." Amanda mumbles.
"Amanda, it's not Jesse." Olivia responds.
Amanda clutches her stomach and she runs to the bathroom. She slams the door and the gang hears her throwing up. Soon, the vomiting has stopped and the gang wonder what's going on with Amanda. They realize that the skeleton isn't Jesse and they hope to find her.
"Where's Amanda?" Declan asks.
"Last I looked, she was throwing up in the toilet." Olivia replies.
"I got this." Carisi responds.
Carisi leaves the family room and he goes into the bathroom to check on Amanda. He enters the bathroom and he closes the door. They find out that the skeleton is another baby that was found in a lake a few days ago, and the baby was found dead. In the bathroom, Carisi holds Amanda's hair back as she's about to get sick again. Amanda holds the bowl and she vomits in the toilet.
"Easy." Carisi soothes.
Amanda picks her head up from the toilet and groans in disgust. Carisi has a wet wash cloth so that he can clean Amanda's hair. He puts the towel on Amanda's forehead and he looks in the toilet to see the bile that came out of Amanda.
"Very colorful. You're not pregnant again, are you?" Carisi asks.
"No." Amanda replies, sickly.
As Carisi starts to clean Amanda's hair with the towel, he flushes the toilet. He cleans Amanda's hair so that he can get the vomit out. He is being a big help by holding Amanda's hair back and cleaning it off with a wet towel.
"Are you going to tell me that I'm a bad mother?" Amanda asks.
"Nope, that's up to you to decide. I will tell you that you have vomit in your hair." Carisi replies.
Carisi pulls Amanda's hair back so that he can fix it. He tries to get the vomit out so that it'll be easier to wash her hair. Carisi isn't the first person to hold Amanda's hair back as she threw up in the toilet. She hopes that Jesse will be found.
"I just miss my baby." Amanda says.
"I get it. We're having buttermilk pancakes for breakfast because I miss my mom." Carisi replies.
"Pancakes?" Amanda asks, sickly.
Amanda vomits in the toilet again and Carisi grabs her hair quickly and he holds it back. He still has the wet towel with him and he puts it on his shoulder. Caris holds Amanda's hair and rubs her back as she continues being sick. Soon, Amanda is done being sick and Carisi helps her up. She closes the lid and she flushes the toilet. Amanda goes to the sink and rinses her mouth out. In the family room, they now know that the dead baby isn't Jesse and they decide to find her. Carisi comes out of the bathroom with Amanda and she's holding on to Carisi.
"I think she's empty." Carisi says.
"Let's get out of here." Olivia replies.
Carisi gives Amanda to Declan and she holds on to him closely. They leave the house and wonder what to do next. Kim takes one last look at the dead baby and she has a feeling that she knows where Jesse is. She hopes to find her so that she can be safe with Amanda and Declan.
