Cry

Each chapter is named after a song by Kelly Clarkson. I don't own SVU or Kelly…

PREVIOUSLY:
"She's staying with her coach because her parents are out of town and her closest family lives in Pennsylvania.

"Okay. The next time you call her, ask about the previous rape…" the woman says.

"She had a really hard time talking to me when she came here so I could take her statement. I don't know how well she'll be able to talk about the past events." Olivia replies.

Alex hears her phone beeping, picks it up and walks out of the room, smiling at Olivia. The female detective sighs, "This pregnancy is just going to make everything harder for us."

"Don't worry, everything's going to be taken care of. Madeline's in good hands now." Fin reassures her.

LINDSEY YEARWOOD'S APARTMENT
MANHATTAN, NY
TWO HOURS LATER
4:15pm

Madeline, Lindsey, Mrs. McBride and Mrs. Branson were sitting in the living room. Madeline was sitting next to Lindsey leaning on her shoulder.

"Honey, can we just talk about what's going to happen next?" Mrs. McBride asks.

"Whatever." the teen replies.

"Okay, I called Olivia and she told me that they've just done a DNA test on Travis, then they're going to wait a day or two and do what's called a paternity test on your baby to make sure Travis is the father, because that will give them grounds to charge him with a second rape. You're going to have to tell Travis at some point that you're pregnant. But don't worry, we won't let you do it alone. You can stay home from school the rest of the week, but when you go back, we'll be there with you."

"I know your doctor's appointment is tomorrow at ten, we can get the paternity test done there if you want. Then after your appointment, the ADA wants to talk to you to start working on trial stuff. Depending on the outcome of Travis' arraignment the ADA has suggested a restraining order so he can't hurt you, which would mean he wouldn't be able to come to school." The brunette AP explains all this to Maddie.

LINDSEY YEARWOOD'S APARTMENT
6:30am
Monday morning.

Maddie is standing in front of the mirror getting ready for school. She's extremely nervous and is wearing a pair of dark jeans, they're no longer skinny jeans because she is starting to show just a tiny baby bump. She's also wearing a deep purple v-neck long sleeve shirt with a black tank top on underneath. She finishes braiding her hair and clips it to the side. Then she walks into the bedroom and slips her feet in her sperrys, the only shoes that she's comfortable in.

She walks into the kitchen, grabs a granola bar and a water bottle. She then sits down on the couch and puts her feet up. Five minutes later Lindsey comes out of her bedroom in black sweatpants and a track shirt, because she teaches P.E. all day. "Are you ready honey?"

"Yeah… let's just get this over with." she replies, grabs her blue Vera Bradley backpack and waits for Lindsey to turn all the lights off and get her keys.

They walk to the car in silence but once they get in Maddie looks at the woman, "What if I get sick in one of my classes? Everybody's going to know…"

"Don't worry about it. Why do you feel sick now?" the woman asks.

"I'm okay right now. Just nervous. I really don't know if I can go to Coach Newton's class today…" she replies.

"Why? Because he helped us save you?"

"Maybe. I think it's gonna be awkward because he's gonna want to know how I'm doing. I don't want to tell him about the baby." she replies.

"Don't. I'll let all your teachers know. It's okay." Lindsey tells her.

Maddie nods in agreement and pulls out her iPod. They ride in silence the rest of the way and get to the school at about 6:50. But when they get there they notice every news channel has a van and a reporter out front. Mr. Willis is outside trying to get them to leave, and they spot Mrs. McBride being interviewed, Mrs. Branson is standing by the police officer and Elliot and Olivia approaching Mr. Willis.

"Crap. Let's go around back, maybe that way no one will see you." Lindsey tells Maddie.

"No, let's just go back to your apartment…" the redheaded teen protests.

"We promised Mrs. McBride you'd be at school today." Maddie's coach calmly replies.

"Ugh. If only I'd known about this… I wouldn't have made that promise." the teen mumbles.

"I'm texting Mrs. Branson now, telling her were here, but going around back to my office. And I want campus security to know, to help keep the media away." the woman replies as she angrily punches the keys on her blackberry.

"I can't do this…" Maddie whimpers.

"Yes you can baby girl. I made sure that all your teachers would be here today, Coach Evans is here all of the assistant principals are here, both trainers are here… you're going to be fine."

Maddie just sighs as Lindsey starts to back the car out and quickly drives around to the athletic lot and they are greeted by the campus police officer.

Lindsey parks the car and waits for the cop to come up to them, once he does, Lindsey gets out and they both walk around to help Maddie out of the car."

The redheaded teen awkwardly smiles at the man who was one of the ones to help save her from Travis. "How long are the news people gonna be here?"

"Not long, SVU is here and they're getting them to leave. So before your friends really start getting here, they'll be gone." the man replies.

Lindsey smiles at Officer Crow as they walk inside and into the girl's coaches office. When they get there, Coach Evans is sitting at her desk reading emails. "Lisa…" the strawberry blond woman says.

The woman immediately gets up and approaches them, "Hey honey, how are you?"

Maddie just wraps her arms around the woman and fights back tears. "Take me home, I don't wanna do this…"

Lisa rubs the teen's back, "Shhh… you'll be fine. I'll come check on you during the day. It's okay."

Lindsey exchanges glances with Lisa and sighs. They hear a knock on the office door and Mrs. McBride comes in the room. "Media's gone. SVU is still here…"

Maddie sighs in relief and slowly walks over and sits in Coach Evan's padded chair. "Why do they have to be here?" she asks.

"They just wanted to talk to some of your friends, mostly about Travis, and the way he acted around you here. They'll also talk to your teachers this morning explain what has happened." the woman answers.

"Whatever… who are they gonna talk to?" the teen asks.

"Probably Brenda, and who knows who else, they'll tell me before they talk to anyone though. Just go to class and don't worry about it, I'll keep everything under control." Mrs. McBride reassures her.

It is now ten after seven and Maddie realizes that class starts in ten minutes. She feels a sudden wave of nausea come over her and takes a gulp of her water bottle, trying to hold it down. However Lindsey also notices the nausea coming to the teen, because her facial expression has changed. "Baby girl, are you okay?" she asks.

Maddie shakes her head no, "take me home… I'm not ready for this…"

"Are you going to get sick honey?" Lindsey asks.

Maddie nods and tries to calm her fears in hopes of getting rid of the nausea. Lindsey looks up at Officer Crow, "Go get Mrs. Tyler for me out of the training room. I don't want to rush Maddie down the hall…"

The man nods and walks out of the room. Coach Evans walks up to Maddie, pulls back her long red hair and gently ties a scrunchie around it. The teen gags a few times before Mrs. Tyler walks in the room as the five minute bell rings.

"Take me home…" Maddie whimpers again.

"Maybe school today wasn't the best idea. She's had morning sickness for the past three days…" Lindsey tells Lisa.

Mrs. Tyler calmly approaches the teen and pulls up a chair next to her. "How do you feel sweetheart?"

"Like crap. Fat. Like I'm gonna puke. Tired." the teen whimpers.

"Lindsey, maybe you should take her home, she looks really pale." the trainer says.

But right after she says this, Maddie throws up in the trash can Lindsey had put at the girl's feet. Lisa walks into the bathroom, gets a cool washrag, and starts wiping Maddie's face off after she sits back in the chair. Maddie is now crying, "I can't do it…"

"Shhh… just try really hard to stay until lunch, and then I'll take you home." Lindsey reassures her.

"All my guy teachers are in the morning…" she moans.

"I don't have any classes until third period, I'll go with her." Lisa offers.

Lindsey looks from Lisa to Maddie to Mrs. Tyler, whose checking Maddie's pulse. "How far along is she?" Mrs. Tyler asks as the bell to start class rings.

"Two months…" Lindsey answers.

"Okay. She'll be fine. Just keep drinking water honey, you need to stay hydrated." Mrs. Tyler replies.

Maddie closes her eyes and puts her hand on her baby bump. Lisa unties Madeline's hair and runs her fingers through it. The teen sits with her eyes closed for almost ten minutes before Lindsey says anything, "Honey?"

"Ugh. Let's just get this over with." the redhead replies, slowly pushing herself out of the chair.

"Come on, I'll walk you to class." Lisa says.
