Chapter 25

Alex's Point of View

I was standing at the reception desk when I saw Voight return alone. "Hey where's my mom?" I asked as he approached me. "Um she had to go home sick, think you can check on her? She didn't look good." Voight replied. "Sure. I can go now." I told him. "Thanks kid." Voight said as he headed back up to the office. Once he was gone I headed to my car and drove home.

As I opened the apartment door there was no sign of mom. However I knew she was going to be in the bathroom so I went straight there. Sure enough she was sitting on the edge of the bath holding the pregnancy test. "Knock, knock." I said as I walked in to join her. "Voight tell you I was sick?" mom asked as I sat down beside her. "Yeah he asked me to come and check on you." I replied. "So what does the test say?" I asked hesitantly. Mom sighed heavily before passing it to me. "So how do you feel about it?" I asked as I read the results.

"Honestly Als I don't know." She mumbled. "What do you mean you don't know?" I questioned. "Als I don't know, I never thought I would have anymore kids, I didn't think I wanted anymore. But now that this has happened, I just…. It puts the doubt in my head." Mom explained. "Why did you think you didn't want anymore? Is it because of me?" I asked reluctantly. "No, well yes but not the way you think. After I had you, and had to give you away I never wanted to have another kid, because I thought it would be like betraying you." mom mumbled. "Mom that's stupid." I replied. "You weren't going to have more kids because you thought it would betray me? What if you never met me?" I asked.

"I always knew I would meet you. I was planning to look for you." mom told me. "Well that's still not a good enough reason. Mom I could never think of you having another kid as a betrayal." I assured her. "That's nice to know." Mom said with a weak smile. "I think you should talk to Jay see what he thinks." I replied. "What if he doesn't want kids?" mom whispered. "At least you will know. But if Jay is the man we think he is, then he will be understanding and he will support you." I tried to comfort her.

"You know sometimes I feel like you're my mother." Mom laughed. "Well I'm better than the one you got, she didn't even get back in contact with you since the last time we saw her!" I cried. "I know but who needs her, I have got you, Voight and hopefully Jay." Mom smiled. "Mom you definitely will have Jay, and if you decide to um keep my little baby bro or sis then you will have them to." I replied. "Thanks Als, you should get back to work." Mom said as he gave me a hug. "You sure? I can call in sick, pretend you gave it to me?" I laughed. "Als go back to work I am fine." Mom smirked. "Ok fine, what should I tell the others?" I asked.

"Nothing, tell them I have the bug. At least until I figure out how I feel about this whole thing." Mom told me. "But mom you cant keep going in the field?" I replied. "Alex, promise me you will not say anything to Voight. Or anyone else!" mom cried. "But mom…." I trailed off. "Alex please, I need to think this through first." Mom begged. "Fine but if anything dangerous comes up I'm spilling." I replied. "Fine." Mom huffed. I nodded in response and left the apartment.

Erin's Point of View

Later that afternoon, about 4 hours after Alex left I got a text from her. She told me Jay was coming over to check on me and that she would stay out of the way encase I wanted to talk to him. I honestly didn't know if I did want to tell him yet, I didn't feel ready. I had yet to accept that it had happened never mind-telling Jay. So as I heard the knock at the door I had to take a deep breath and pretend everything was ok.

"Hi how are you feeling?" Jay asked concerned as he walked in. "Fine I thinks it's passed." I lied. "You looked pretty bad earlier I think you should take tomorrow off." Jay fussed. "Jay I'm fine, honestly stop worrying." I assured him. "Alex told me that, but I had to see you. I missed you at work." He laughed. "See I knew you loved having me as a partner." I joked. "I do love having you as a partner Erin." Jay replied, causing me to blush. Jay smirked at the effect his words had on me as he gently kissed me. Unfortunately our moment ended there as there was a knock at the door.

"That has to be Voight!" I gasped. "Quick hide in the bathroom!" I cried shoving Jay into the room as shutting the door. Once I was sure he was safe inside I opened the front door. "Hey just making sure you ok." Voight said. "Hank you didn't have to, that's why they invented phones, so you can call a person." I joked as I let him in. "I know but you can lie on the phone. I had to see you in person." Voight smiled. "Well as you can see I am fine." I laughed.

"Yeah you look better. So I assume you are going to insist on working tomorrow?" he questioned. "Of course." I replied. "Well in that case I better go, make sure you get an early night." He said as he headed for the door. "Don't feel you have to rush back tomorrow. Just let me know ok?" Voight said as soon as he was in the hall. "I will see you in the morning Hank." I laughed as I waved him off.

Once he was gone I quickly closed the door and went to free Jay. However as I opened the bathroom door I found Jay staring at the test. "What's this?" he whispered. "Jay I can…" I began to explain but he cut me off. "Erin what is this? Is this yours?" Jay questioned. I know I shouldn't have, but I could see horror on his face and thought he was going to be mad so I lied. "It's Alex's." I blurted out. "Alex's?" Jay said, but he didn't look convinced. "Seriously?" he added. I nodded in response but he wasn't believing me.

"Erin do you think I am stupid? You're the one who was sick not Alex. I mean I know it could have been the bug but finding this in your bathroom. You have to admit looks suspicious." Jay cried. "Fine its, mine but I didn't know how to tell you." I whispered. "Erin you just tell me the truth you don't lie. What did you think I was going to do?" Jay asked he looked so hurt. "I don't know Jay, I don't even know what to think." I whispered. "Erin you have to talk to me, we have to deal with this." Jay said.

"Deal with?" I hissed. "I didn't mean it like that, I meant deal with the situation Erin." Jay replied. "You know what Jay I think I need to be alone." I mumbled. "Erin seriously? We need to discuss this." Jay protested. "Not now Jay, it can wait." I whispered. "Fine if you want to be like that, see you later." Jay said as he got up and stormed out. I felt bad for that way I treated him, but I wasn't expecting his reaction. For some reason, I thought it would have been easier if he were mad. So as I stared at the door he left through I felt tears in my eyes as I slumped onto the sofa…

Until next time ;-)
