Note: This is my very first Yo!Bling story. It was written for my friend Rachel and after she told me she liked it, I decided to post it here. I hope it's worth reading!
"Morning," Catherine Willows smiled at her boyfriend of almost two years. The sun shined into the room through the curtains, making her smile bigger. She loved the sunshine, and loved it whenever she was awoken by it shining into her eyes.
"Hey," Warrick replied. He ran his hand over his face in an attempt to wake up. While Catherine was a morning person, he most definitely was not.
The two had been living together for one year. Things has recently gotten very serious between and both had agreed that living together was a smart choice. Especially since Catherine was pregnant with their child.
Warrick smiled at the thought. A moment later the woman lying next to him crawled over his body and walked toward the door.
"I'm gonna go wake Linds up," She whispered, smiling as she took off for her teenage daughter's room.
Warrick flipped the sheets off of himself and got out of the bed, grinning. Walking into the bathroom, he brushed his teeth, then got dressed and went downstairs. Both Catherine and Lindsey were sitting at the table in the kitchen, waiting for him.
"What would you like for breakfast?" Cath inquired as the man walked down the stairs.
"Pancakes sound good."
Lindsay raised her head and looked at Warrick with a sleepy grin. "You say that every morning!"
Catherine couldn't help but smile as she stood up and walked into the kitchen, getting herself a glass of orange juice. Her stomach was bothering her so she didn't want anything to eat, but she did figure a little bit of juice would calm her stomach down enough to the point where she would be able to eat something.
She was smiling because she had never seen Lindsay warm up to any of her previous boyfriends the way she was with Warrick. He would occasionally drop her off at a friend's house, or drive her to the mall; Things he knew she would appreciate. Turning around, she saw her daughter trying to sneak her iPod out of her backpack.
"Uh-uh!" Catherine warned. "You know the rule."
Lindsay groaned, then both of them repeated the well-known rule together.
"'No music at the table.'" Lindsay nodded apologetically. "Sorry mom. I forgot."
The teen tapped her fingers on the table. "So, are we gonna get some food or what?"
"Ew, mom, how can you eat that?"
Catherine took a bite of her Egg Mcmuffin, complete with sweet and sour sauce and ketchup, looking confused. She chewed quickly, thankful her stomach had stopped hurting, and turned around to face her daughter.
"It's good!"
Warrick laughed, turning the Denali into the parking lot of the Las Vegas Crime Lab. "I gotta run in for just a second. Be right back."
He jumped out of the car, slammed the door, and jogged up to the building. Catherine turned her attention back to her daughter in the back seat after watching him enter the work place.
"What kind of cravings did you have when you were pregnant with me?" Lindsay inquired as she stuffed a bite of pancake into her mouth.
Catherine thought for a moment, recalling the fifteen years since her little girl had been born.
"I think the most frequent was chips and chocolate syrup. It sounds nasty but it was so good," She laughed.
Lindsay giggled for a moment then ate another piece of her pancakes. "What names are you two thinking about?"
Catherine laughed again. "Linds, I'm only three months along. We haven't decided on what color to paint the nursery, let alone names."
"Just wondering." Lindsay paused for a moment. "'Cause I was thinking Abby is a cool name for a girl."
She watched her mother nod then sipped her drink. When no reply came, Lindsay reached up and tapped Catherine on the shoulder. "Mom? How do you like that name?"
Catherine placed her breakfast on the driver's seat, a small gasp of pain coming from her.
"Mom?" Lindsay was worried now. Her mother wasn't talking or eating; Something was wrong.
"Linds…. Go get Warrick," Catherine managed to instruct her daughter. Lindsay immediately dropped her food and got out of the car, running into the large building before them. As soon as she was sure Lindsay was inside, Catherine clutched her stomach and screamed in pain for a moment.
As she saw Warrick and Lindsay running out to the vehicle, she flung her door open. Warrick, without asking what was wrong, pulled her from the car and into his arms. Then carried her inside, running to the women's bathroom for an unknown reason.
"Doctor. I need a doctor," Catherine panted, trying to keep herself composed in front of her frightened daughter.
"They're on the way."
The words sounded distant to her, like he was standing a mile away and was screaming the message to her. Seconds later, Catherine Willows passed out in Warrick's arms.
