Chapter 2: Telling

Week 10

Cruz wrung the water out of her hair and climbed out of the shower. Man it's hard to get up when you're pregnant! She thought to herself as she blow-dried her hair.

She sort of wished she had someone with her now, but she cut off the thought abruptly. I've got to stop thinking like this!

She stood in front of the mirror, topless and rubbed a hand over her stomach, she still couldn't believe it, she was pregnant! Even though she was alone it was sort of nice to have this little human inside of her.

She pulled a T shirt on and groaned; another one too small. She pulled it off and went for another one that was bigger. Her stomach was barely growing but it was enough to make her just too big for her normal clothes.

She stretched her legs before pulling her jacket on and heading to work. When she got there she headed up to the office.

She saw Bosco walking into the precinct and quickly ducked her head; she wasn't going to talk to him unless she had to.

She grabbed a pile of paperwork from the desk and sorted through it, before giving up. I have to talk to Lieu she thought silently. She didn't want to but she knew that if she didn't the baby would be in danger.

She pushed her chair back and motioned to her partner "Hey, Santiago! I'm going to talk to Lieu, I'll be back in a few"

He nodded and she nervously went down to Lieu's office. She knocked gently on the door and he motioned for her to come in. She entered; making sure the door was shut tight.

She sat down in front of him and he questioned her "What's up Sarge?"

Her cheeks became flushed "Ummm... I need to tell you that, that I'm pregnant." She spat out the last few words and he looked up at her, his eyebrows raised

"Ok, how far along? When do you need to leave?"

Cruz stared inquisitively at her hand, her only distraction "9 weeks, I really was hoping that I could keep working though"

Lieu was already shaking his head "No, I don't want to put you in any risk, By the time your 12 weeks I want you on the desk"

Cruz glared at him "Fine" She spat furiously as she turned and left.

Santiago turned and saw her coming in, her cheeks flaring, running a hand through her hair. "You ok chica?"

She nodded "I'm going to the washroom, I'll be back" He nodded, thoroughly confused.

She turned and walked briskly to the bathroom, getting stressed made her stomach hurt, she felt really nauseous. She hurried to the change room and entered a stall.

She bent over the toilet, a place where she had been spending a lot of time lately, and emptied her stomach. She stayed in the stall for a while, trying to regain her composure.

Finally she pushed the stall open and stepped out Crap! Bosco was standing in the change room, watching her. She already knew he couldn't stand it when women got sick.

"Are you ok Sarge?" He asked, his tone harsh as though he really didn't care.

She went to push past him "What does it matter Bosco, you obviously don't care"

He heard something unfamiliar in her voice and his tone changed "No, Cruz really…are you ok?"

As his tone softened tears pricked the back of her eyes Damn hormones! Her voice came out shaky

"I don't know, look Bosco I need to go" He took her gently by the arm and kissed her gently

"Tell me?"

She was taken aback, last thing she heard he hated her. Finally she relented, a few tears slipped down her face and she choked back a sob

"Why do you blame me for his death?"

Bosco bristled a bit but backed down "I don't, I just didn't know who to take it out on, you were the closest target…I'm sorry"

Cruz glanced up, it would take time but maybe they could work this out

"Really?" she said in a small voice.

He nodded and she slipped her arms around him. He felt so familiar, so safe; she just wanted to stay here forever. He gently breathed in the scent of her hair again.

"You want to tell me what's really wrong?"

She bit her lip nervously "You really want to know?"

He nodded. She really didn't want to ruin the moment but he had the right to know. She pushed away from him and smoothed her hair back down

"You sure?"

He nodded again "Come on Cruz" She sighed "Fine, Bosco, we were still sleeping together before Mikey died…" He nodded slowly "Well, I'm pregnant, you're going to be a daddy."
