A Second Chance?!
This chapter takes place two days after the last one ended.
Chris was sitting at her desk writing a report as Tony, followed by Tc and Julia, approached her desk.
"Hey! I´m off okay?"
"Yeah sure lieutenant," Chris answered, looking up from her report.
At that moment one of the officers walked towards his lieutenant and said, "Lieutenant we have a problem with one of the suspects."
"Okay. Tc you wait here? I´ll be right back," with that Tony disappeared behind a corner.
"So what are you three up to huh?" Chris asked Tc.
"We´re gonna rent a boat and drive around the lake," Tc said, "what are you doing today?"
"Oh cool! Well after I finished my shift I´m going home and relax!" She told him smiling.
"What about the kids?" Tc asked smiling back. He loved seeing her smile.
"My mom and dad picked them up yesterday and travelled with them to Carlifornia, better said Disney Land," Chris informed him.
At that moment Tony came back. "We can go now," he said, "bye Chris."
"Bye have fun!" She said and with one last smile turned back to her report.
"Yeah enjoy your free evening," said Tc and walked out of the station.
"I will. . . I will," she said to herself.
A few hours later Chris has finished her shift and when she walked into Tony´s office to put the report on the desk, she noticed that Tony forgot a very important folder, which he needs tomorrow for a meeting with the captain.
"Great!" She said, picked up the telephone and dialed Tony´s cellphone number.
"The person you have called is not available," was the only thing she got from the other end.
"Damn!" With that she walked out of the office, with the folder in her hand, towards an officer.
"Officer Davidson. . . I´m going home!"
"Okay sergeant. See ya tomorrow!"
"Bye," she said and went out of the station.
She got into her car and drove to Tony´s house. She rang the doorbell and after waiting a few seconds, Cory opened the door.
"Hi Chris!"
"Hello Cory. . . is Tony here?" Chris asked.
"No not yet. He and Tc rented a boat to drive around the lake but they should be here pretty soon," Cory answered while she thought about telling Chris that she found out that Tc is the triplets father, "if you want you can wait here till he comes?"
"No,. . . I don´t know," Chris said insecure.
"Oh come on I´m not going to bite ya!" Cory said smiling.
"Alright," Chris agreed to stay and forced herself to smile back. She just couldn´t feel the amity, she had felt a couple of years ago, not after everything that happened.
"So do you want something to drink ?" Cory asked already walking into the kitchen.
"No thanks I´m fine," said Chris and sat down on the couch in the livingroom. A couple of minutes later Cory came back into the livingroom, "You sure you don´t want anything?"
Chris nodded.
After a few minutes of silence, nobody really knew what to say to the other, Cory broke it, "So. . . mmh you´re working with Palermo again?"
"Seems so," Chris simply said. She really wasn´t making it easy for Cory.
"May I ask you why, I mean when you left Santa Monica you wanted to get into the FBI," Cory asked with a little anticipation.
"Mmh. . . ehem. . . I had to break of my training, it´s to hard to go through the training when you´re pregnant with triplets," told Chris Cory a bit hesitantly, "So I looked for a job as an officer or something and here in Seattle were very much open position and hence to that I applied here. But at that time I didn´t know Tony was the lieutenant. . . I first found out when he called me to tell me I got the job but not as an officer but as a sergeant. Well then I moved here and that´s the story," finished Chris.
"Aha. . . and what about the kids father, did he come with you? Did you meet him at the FBI academy?" Cory asked trying to push the conversation to who the father of Brian, Lucy and Kate is. Not that she didn´t know, no she wanted to hear it from Chris.
Chris was at a loss of words, she looked down on the ground, she just didn´t know how to answer. On one side she didn´t want to lie to Cory, even after everything that happened, but on the other side she didn´t want her to know that Tc is the father of her children.
Cory noticed that Chris was very uncomfortable with these questions, so she took the initiative and just said what she knew, "It´s Tc right?"
When Cory said that Chris head shot up. "What?" Chris asked not beliving what she just heard.
"Tc is the father of your children, am I right?" Cory asked looking direktly at Chris.
"I don´t know what you are talking about," Chris said nervous, stood up and walked from one side to the other. *How can she know that?. . . Did Tony told her something?. . . No, he would never do that!*, Chris thoughts were interrupted by Cory.
"Come on Chris I´m not stupid."
"I really have no idea what you are talking about," Chris said and walked into the direction of the front door, but Cory grabbed her by her arm, so she stopped walking.
"Chris. . . I´m not so blind as Tc may is and besides that I can count," Cory said letting go of Chris´ arm, "I think it happened that way: when you came back after Tc´s accident you slept with him, he told me. Then you went back to the FBI training, found out that you were pregnant, moved to Seattle and finally gave birth to the triplets. Am I right?"
Chris walked back to the couch and sat down, "Yes, you are!"
"Why haven´t you told him that you were pregnant, did you really not gave a damn about him?"
"No, of course not. . . you have no idea what was going on?" Chris said with a few tears in her eyes ~~ maybe a bit out of charakter ~~ when the memories of the past years came back.
"Yeah you´re right, I have no idea, so please tell me!" Cory said and when she realized the tears in Chris´eyes, she touched her arm for support.
But Chris pulled her arm away, wiped away the tears and said , "I couldn´t tell him, not after what you and he did!"
"What? Do you wanna say that it was my fault that you couldn´t tell him?" Cory asked in disbelieve.
"I didn´t say it was your´s or Tc´s fault, it was also my fault, but you two were the ones who cheated on me," Chris said getting angry.
"Yeah. . . and you´re the one who left her husband and her best friend!"
"So you wanna say if I wouldn´t have left it wouldn´t have happened !"
"Exactly!"
"Super friend!"
"You know Chris, you really can be so unfair. You left the man who loved you more than anything in the world and who would have done anything for you, only to pursue your career."
"I know I made a big mistake, but maybe you want to know the real reason why I came back at that time."
Cory just looked at her, so Chris went on.
"It wasn´t just because of the car accident, most of all it was because I really missed you and Tc. I realized when I was at the academy that it wasn´t the thing that made me happy, so I came back to Santa Monica but when I found out that you and Tc slept together. . . I realized that I had lost and messed up everything really important in my life and so I left the second time."
"You should have talked to us, we would have figured something out," said Cory feeling sorry.
"I didn´t want to. Cory you were supposed to be my best friend and then you slept with my husband. You know it was like the whole world broke together within seconds."
"Chris. . . what now are I supposed to feel guilty for what happened?"
"No. . . this is history. . . I don´t want to talk about it anymore. I´m going home, tell Tony. . .," said Chris but was cut of by Cory as she walked to the front door.
"You two were my best friends, you left and Tc was hurting so much, I was there to comfort him," Cory stated.
"Oh great! You know what I always comfort my friends with sex too," Chris said in a sarcastic tone and then she said softly, "and then I just foist them a child from an other man." ~~ I have no idea that´s right!!! ~~
"What?" Cory´s eyes grew wide.
"Never mind!"
"No, what did you just say?" Now it was Cory´s turn to get nervous.
"Julia isn´t Tc´s daughter!"
"What?" Cory probably felt the same way as Chris did a few minutes earlier.
"Come on Cory I´m not stupid and I´m not so blind as Tc may is," Chris said repeating the sentences Cory said a few moments ago. Cory couldn´t believe it her secret was out, nobody knew that not even her family. She started to feel dizzy, so she quickly sat down and asked, "How did you find out?"
"Remember two days ago, when we came home from the playground totally soaked. . ." Cory nodded. "Well I gave Tc a shirt for Julia and when he undressed her I noticed the birthmark on her back and remembered that Will had such a birthmark too."
Cory was stunned, shocked, she didn´t know what to say. "Chris you have to promise me not to tell."
"I won´t tell, because you´re going to!"
"No Chris I can´t."
"It´s not if you can or not, you have to!!!" Said Chris and turned to open the door.
"Oh yeah? Fine, if I have to then you have to tell him too!"
Chris turned back to Cory, gave her a smile and opened the door. At that moment Tony and Tc, with a sleeping Julia on his shoulder, entered the house, that´s why Chris bumbed directly into Tony.
"Hey Chris, wow everything okay?"
"Oh yeah,ahm. . . sorry. I just wanted to give you the folder you forgot it at the station and you sure will need it tomorrow for the meeting with the captain. . ."
While Tony and Chris talked about the meeting, Tc went over to Cory and gave her the sleeping two and a half year old. "Hey you okay?"
"Yah. . . I´m fine, I´m gonna bring her to bed and then go to bed myself," Cory said without looking at Tc.
"Already? It´s not even 9 pm!"
"I´m tired," she simply answered.
"Okay, goodnight then."
When Chris and Tony finished their conversation, she said goodbye to them and went home.
Still at Tony´s:
"Something went on here," Tc said suspiciously.
"Good you´ve notice this strange atmosphere too, I already thought I was hallucinating!" Tony said concerned.
"No you´re not, I wonder what happened?"
"Yeah me too. . . me too. . .," Tony said.
When Chris arrived at her house she went straight to the couch, slumped down and turned on the tv, letting everything that just happened fly by in her thoughts.
*Now I have no other choice I need to tell Tc the truth and the sooner the better*, she thought, until she fell asleep.
