Chapter 14

Rating: PG-13

Summery: Emma visits her doctor and Jesse gets help from a kind cop.

Note: I never noticed that I have 101 reviews, Yay me! I want to say again thanks to all that stayed with my 'writing', and really enjoyed it. And I want to thank you for sticking with it for so long, considering most of my chapters are short. But I figured instead of putting it out all in one shot it gives you something to look forward to.

So shutting up already I have one thing left to say.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

Jesse looked around the people that milled in and out of the prescient. There were your everyday people that you always saw on Cops that kept getting busted. Young kids and adults brought in for B&E, a few women that got caught soliciting and some people driving under the influence, your basic run of the mill with the very rare innocent person.

He hated it with a passion. It reminded him of the time his friend said he 'borrowed' a car from a friend and they went to visit his girlfriend and then got pulled over by the cops, they said the car had been reported stolen. By their Pre-Cal teacher. They didn't believe he was innocent until the end when his friend finally confessed. But by that time he had developed a semi phobia of anybody with the law.

So now he found his foot tapping furiously as he waited for the cop that said would help him. It took about every fiber in his being not to fidget more than he was in his chair. His eyes kept flicking around and around again. He felt like being a five-year-old and asking, "are you done yet?"

The cop kept stealing secret glances at the young man. He twitched as if he had a grudge against law enforcement. And he had to wonder again if he was really looking for his sister or a girlfriend that ran away from him. But he kept getting a vibe that he was sincere about finding this woman and quite possibly her unborn baby. He looked back at his computer and started his search again. Damn weather and too many users were making it slow.

Jesse was losing his patience and was about to ask if he had found this Livia person when his cell rang. Which made him jump in his seat and his eyes widen into comical saucers as if he didn't realize that he had a cell with him.

He quickly reached into his pocket and fished out his phone and quickly pressed the send button. "Have you found her yet?" Came Shalimar's voice before he could say 'hello'. He gave a small fond smile before answering.

"I've only been here a short while. I'll call you when I think I've found something." He heard her give a frustrated sigh and said "Fine" In a grudging voice. He couldn't help but give a laugh at that and he felt some of the tension leave his body.

"So how are things back home?" He had to ask that question. If he was gonna bring Emma back and she was pregnant she was going to need a supportive environment not one filled with blame and hate.

He heard Shal give a big sigh. "I'm slowly mending a few holes in the broken fence. It's taking a lot more time than I thought it would. I'm having a really really hard time trying to convince Adam to loosen up the grudge a little." He leaned his head back against the wall his chair was on.

"And how's that working out for you?" She gave a snort. "Peachy. Brennan's doing everything he can think of to get Adam's forgiveness and he still treating him like a red headed stepchild."

Jesse made a 'hmmm' sound and heard Shal do the same in agreement. "That's, uh, kind of the reason I'm calling. I was kinda hoping that you would have something so I could tell them what you're doing."

He was shaking his head before he gave his answer. "No." He heard Shalimar try to interrupt. "No. I don't want you tell them anything. If they find out what I'm trying to do and they get their hopes up and she decides not to come even if I talk to her, I don't want Adam blaming him anymore than he already does."

There was complete silence on the other end when he finished. He waited a few seconds. "Shal?" She gave another sigh. "Yeah, yeah. I get it." Then he suddenly remembered where he was and looked up and saw that the cop was staring at him and then he mouthed the words 'I found her.'

His head snapped back up and he quickly told Shalimar that he had to go and hung up on her sputtering of wanting to now what was going on. "You found her?" he said excitedly as he pushed his phone back into his pocket.

The cop had heard everything and the phone call only made his theory solid. He was really looking for his sister in hopes of bringing her home. He wrote down the address and telephone number and gave it Jesse.

Jesse grabbed the paper and quickly stood up and yelled thank you over his shoulder as he left the building and on his way to the address on the paper.
