Currently at 51 everyone was running to their rigs, they'd heard the 10-1 come over the radio and were racing to 61's last known location, when they all arrived all they saw was two CFD winter coats, two CFD jackets and two radios. The whole Intelligence team were on scene as a patrol car had requested them. Hank walks over to Casey and Mills who were frantic. Trudy ran up to join them being brought to scene by Hailey and Jay.
"Hank where are they?"
"Trudy were working on it"
Trudy glared at Hank "Well work faster" Mouch walked up and held Trudy.
"Has anyone contacted Benny?"
Kelly pulls his phone out and dials Benny's number "Benny can you get to the corner of Aspen and Vine?"
"Sure Kelly, everything OK?"
"No not really" Kelly sighs rubbing his face "Jess, Sylvie and 61 are missing"
"I'm on my way"
Meanwhile in the back of the SUV Jess and Sylvie sat crying silently, suddenly Jess felt nausea creeping up fast.
"Can we stop?"
"No!"
"Please I'm going to be sick" Jess starts gagging covering her mouth "Please"
Suddenly the SUV stops Jess is dragged by her ponytail out and dumped at the side of the road, Jess looses all the contents of her stomach, once done she's picked up by her hair, now completely out of her hair tie and shoved back into the SUV.
"Please where are you taking us?"
"Do you never stop talking?"
"I'm sorry just wanted to know"
"Jess shut up will you?"
Sylvie gives Jess an apologetic look before both girls hug, suddenly and without warning the SUV stops flinging them both into the seat in front, they are then blindfolded and dragged from the car, they don't know where they have been taken but it smells damp and is very cold.
After a few minutes they are flung into a room, the blindfold taken off before being left alone, Jess walks around trying to find another way out, there isn't one.
"Sylvie? You OK?"
Sylvie shakes her head "No I'm not and I don't understand as to why you're so calm?"
"I can assure you I'm shitting myself!" Jess suddenly giggles "Oh my god, my phone is still in my pocket!"
"No way, wait so mine"
Jess rolls her eyes and activates her find Hollies guard app, shaking her phone she just hopes that her emergency contacts have their phones on them.
Meanwhile back at the scene Mills', Trudy's and Hank's phones ping, receiving an emergency message from Jess' phone. Hank looks up and grabs his phone.
"I'm Detective Hank Voight and I want you to triangulate a signal from my nieces phone and keep me updated"
Hank walks back to the group and looks at them all "Jess activated her emergency app I've got the switchboard patching me in and keeping me updated"
A few hours have passed and not much had happened, 51 and Intelligence were based at the firehouse, 51 taken out of service for the time being. Kelly was trying to keep his future brother in law and best friend calm, actually trying to keep everyone calm was a difficult task.
Hank was stood on the phone, the switchboard had patched him into Jess' phone, also texting her to say they were looking for them both, Hank listened to every sound to see if he could pinpoint exactly where Jess and Sylvie were, where ever they were made the signal drop every ten minutes.
Meanwhile the girls had settled down on the floor huddled together to keep warm, the activity outside the room had been quiet till now, the door to the room opens and in steps.
"Well look at you, haven't you changed. I like how long your hair is now, it used to be just at your shoulders now its all the way down your back" he places his hand on the bottom of Jess' back "Oh I see your pregnant"
"Bite me Owens!"
Hank was now listening but getting Intelligence, Mills and Casey on the move, he hadn't told anyone what he knew. He just hoped Jess would keep Owens talking.
Owens laughed "Oh don't tempt me, you remember don't you?" Owens kisses Jess on her lips "So soft, hey Brett"
Sylvie rolls her eyes before glaring at Owens "So this is all down to you, what have you done with Ambo 61?"
"Precious 61 is on the corner of Racine and George street"
Hank couldn't believe it, Sylvie had got the location of 61, Hank radioed main to let them know where to collect 61, he was silently begging for more of a location of where they were at least.
"So it's very quiet around here"
Owens smiles "Oh yes that's my intention, they won't find 51's precious PIC and her Paramedic friend any time soon"
"Owens can we not get out of this room to stretch our legs, use the bathroom, we are both after all pregnant"
Owens looks at Jess "Well seeing as you asked so nicely I don't see why not"
Owens held Jess on his right side whilst Sylvie was on his left, whilst being walked to the bathroom Jess noticed a lot of old CFD equipment lying around.
"Owens was this an old training building?"
Owens looks at Jess "Seeing as no one knows or will find you, yes this building used to be an old CFD training base"
"Oh is that the one just off Clyde and York?"
"Yes how did you know?"
Hank informed everyone in Intelligence to converge on Clyde and York, still hoping to get more information.
"Oh I'm a history freak, always loved the history of the CFD"
Owens gives both Jess and Sylvie a look before allowing them into the bathroom, Jess shuts the door and sighs in relief, getting her phone out of her pocket and holding it to her mouth.
"To whoever is listening hope you got that, now PIC Brett and Paramedic Johnson are in the bathroom on the far east of the building, see you soon hopefully"
Little did Jess and Sylvie know Hank was listening in and was two minutes out, all Jess and Sylvie had to do was stay safe in the bathroom, the knocking on the door made them realise they weren't.
"What's taking so long?"
Jess bites her lip motioning for Sylvie to be sick "Sylvie's sick, don't know why they call it morning sickness when you get it any time of the day"
"Fine I'll leave you alone for five minutes and then you go back to the room"
"OK thanks"
Jess saying thanks was an odd feeling, but keeping Owens happy was their best option. Both Jess and Sylvie then heard loud noises mostly 'Chicago PD drop your weapons' they both stayed where they were, both trying not to panic they didn't know how close Owens was to them.
"Jess, Sylvie call out"
There it was relief Hailey Upton's voice "Jess, Sylvie call out"
"In here"
Jess and Sylvie come out of the bathroom coming face to face with Hailey and Kim, seeing their friends kind faces pulling them into a hug, closely followed by Casey and Mills running towards them.
Sylvie runs towards Matt collapsing in his arms, Jess looks at Mills before pulling him into a hug.
"I'm sorry, so so sorry" Jess sobs "I love you and I'm sorry"
"Jess it's ok" Mills lifts Jess up "Come on let's get you to Med, Ambo 19 is outside waiting for you"
When Jess was laid on the gurney on 19, she started to panic, she was frantic, Mills was trying to calm her down but the more and more she panicked her stomach was in bits, Jess started to moan before throwing up all over Paramedic Parsons feet.
"I'm so sorry" Jess groans again holding her belly "Peter I don't feel so good"
Jess keeps throwing up and throwing up until she can't no longer, when she arrives at Med, Ambo 19 is a mess, Parsons is a mess and so is Jess, they are met with Natalie.
"Exam room 3, page maternity and get someone down here right now!"
"Jess come on calm down"
"No I... he came back for me"
Natalie and Mills help Jess into a gown, Jess fighting them all the way. Natalie put it down to the trauma, Jess was in flight or fight mode and was in serious danger of passing out, Naomi from maternity rushed into the room and quickly set up to start scanning Jess, the sound of two perfect heartbeats filled the room, Jess looked at Mills tears in her eyes.
"Oh my god, that's our babies Jess"
"Are they...are they OK?"
Naomi smiled "Oh yes doing well, we'll be able to tell what they are at 20 weeks"
Mills looks at Naomi "Can you really?"
Naomi giggles "Of course, that's if you want to that is?"
Jess nods and now starts to relax, Naomi packs up all her equipment and vacates the room. Natalie walks back in a sits on the end of the bed.
"Now I don't care less how you take this, but I'm signing you off work for 4 weeks"
Jess nods "I understand"
"Well.." Natalie looks shocked at Jess "Right ok then, 4 weeks off then I might consider you riding out the 10 weeks after that on 61"
"Noted"
Mills and Natalie exchange looks, noticing that Jess' is now asleep and looking more peaceful than before, Natalie leaves and goes to talk with Boden. Natalie walks into the waiting area to find all of 51 and Intelligence sat there.
"Why doesn't this surprise me?" Natalie looks at Boden "I'm signing Sylvie Brett and Jessica Johnson off work for 4 weeks, then after that I might consider letting them back to 61 if all they do is rest"
Boden nods and sits back beside Hank, Benny, Trudy and Mouch, everyone else sat in their little groups all thinking about their sisters resting and coming back to 51.
Two weeks later and Jess was climbing the walls, she felt lazy and needed to do something, 61 was out of the question, she knew this but she also wanted, no not wanted needed to do something within the CFD.
So that was why she was currently sat outside 51 debating whether to speak to her Chief, for two reasons 1. To request to come off 61 to protect herself and her babies and 2. To offer to work in the bullpen at 51, she wasn't out on calls but at least she was around people who she cared about and who cared about her. Jess gets out of her car dressed in a winter coat, hat, scarf and gloves, winters in Nottingham, Jess' home town were cold, but Chicago winters felt like living in the North Pole.
Jess walks up the apron and goes into 51 straight to Boden's office. Boden's sat at his desk, Jess taps on the frame.
"What can I do for you Jess?"
"Hey Chief I was wondering if I could come back to 51 before the 4 weeks are up?"
Boden sighs "Jess you know fine well I can't go against Natalie's orders"
"Let me explain" Jess sits down "I know I can't come back to 61 and I don't want to either, I was wondering if I could come back in an administrative role?"
Boden looks completely dumbfounded "I...wait what?"
Jess laughs "I've come to realise that 61 isn't the best place for me right now, I need to keep these babies safe and to do that I need to work in the bullpen at 51"
"You don't know how relieved I am to hear you say that"
"Having problems?"
Boden rolls his eyes "Ritter and Gallo offered to help and I wish I hadn't accepted"
Jess giggles "Well I'll be your lifesaver and can start next shift if you want?"
Boden nods, stands and helps Jess up and walks with her to the door, as Jess walks into the bullpen she slips, Boden catches Jess before she hits the floor.
"Who is on cleaning duty?"
Capp wanders in "I am Chief"
"Remember to put a wet floor sign down or dry it correctly. Jess almost fell"
"Sorry Chief, sorry Jess"
Jess shakes her head and slaps Capp across the back of the head.
"What the hell was that for?"
"Because you're a complete moron, but your 51's moron"
Jess makes her way back out of 51, Sylvie is walking up the apron and stops.
"What you doing here?"
"I'd ask you the same thing"
"I'm here to talk to Boden about coming off 61"
"You've got to be kidding me, I've just spoke to him and I'm starting in the bullpen from next shift"
Sylvie laughs "We really have to do everything together, it's uncanny"
"It really is" Jess hugs Sylvie "The dream team of 61 can now be the dream team of the bullpen of 51"
"Definitely, see you later"
"Bye"
Jess and Sylvie go their separate ways, Jess drives home getting back into the warmth before climbing into bed and falling asleep.
48 hours later Jess and Sylvie walked into 51 and into the bullpen, Gallo and Ritter handing them a mountain of paperwork before running out. A few hours into their first shift and settled they smile as Jay Halstead wanders in followed by Capp mop in hand.
"Hey Jay, what brings you to 51?"
"Voight just wants your signatures on your statements"
Jess and Sylvie sign the paperwork, Capp wanders out of the bullpen, Naomi wanders in maternity notes in hand, before sliding and being grabbed by Jay, who then lands on top of her.
"I'm so sorry" Jay giggles whilst laying on top of Naomi "My names Jay"
"Naomi"
Jess and Sylvie give each other knowing looks just as Capp wanders in again.
"What you doing down there? I just went to fetch the wet floor sign"
Jess and Sylvie tag team and slap Capp, Jess rolls her eyes "Absolute moron"
Jess, Sylvie, Jay and Naomi burst into uncontrollable giggles, Jess and Sylvie holding their tummies, Kelly walks in giving Jay evils.
"What are you doing here? Can't you leave my sister alone?"
"Kelly! Really? Jay only came to get our signatures, take it down a few notches"
"Yeah, yeah"
Jay helps Naomi up from the floor and they stand looking at Kelly.
"I'm not here to cause trouble"
Naomi looks at both Jess and Sylvie and hands them their maternity notes "For the third time in a matter of weeks I give you your notes, I can't emphasis this enough, have them with you at all times!"
Jess and Sylvie laugh take the notes and wave as Jay and Naomi leave, Jess turns to Kelly.
"The big brother routine needs to stop"
"I know and I'm sorry"
Everyone returns to their duties, Capp walking out rubbing his head.
Four weeks later and Jess and Sylvie didn't know that Herrmann and Cindy had arranged at Molly's a joint baby shower, everyone was invited even Naomi who being Jess and Sylvie's sonographer they'd become close, they also didn't know that the boot had been passed around as well, it was all one big surprise.
Now the thing with surprises was trying to get two 5 month pregnant women out anywhere, Peter and Matt were up for the challenge. Currently Peter and Matt were standing in the living room of Jess and Peter's apartment.
"I'm looking forward to hearing what the twins will be"
Matt smiles "Yeah, why did we agree for Stella to handle that?"
"We had no choice, something along the lines of, I'm doing this for my sisters so let it be"
Matt nodded and smiled as Sylvie and Jess walked into the room, Sylvie was wearing a light blue sweater, with black leggings and boots, where Jess was wearing a red jumpsuit and black pumps holding a black cardi on her shoulder.
"You both look lovely"
"Thanks Matt"
"Thanks babe"
Matt, Peter, Jess and Sylvie exit the apartment all getting into Mills' new blue SUV, when Peter pulls up outside Molly's, Jess and Sylvie are disappointed but not for long.
As soon as the door of Molly's opens the chorus of surprise makes Jess and Sylvie jump but they are so happy they can't hide their tears.
"I hope you like your surprise"
"Thank you Cindy, Herrmann. Especially you Herrmann I know difficult it is too keep a secret "
"True"
Jay wandered in late and spotted Naomi at the bar, he walked up to her and placed his hand on her hip before sliding a note into her hand. Naomi grins and watches Jay over her shoulder take a seat next to Adam and Kim. Naomi looks around Molly's before opening the note, it read.
Naomi,
Ever since the first time we met on the floor of the bullpen at 51, I've not been able to get you out of my mind. You are a beauty to behold and I'd like if willing to get to know you better, if you want to see where this goes, give me a sign.
Yours Jay
Naomi bites her lip and smiles glancing over her shoulder she looks directly into Jay's eyes and nods, she then turns away and joins Jess and Sylvie at their table, who wave their maternity notes at her.
"Well done, I'm impressed"
Jess giggles "I take them everywhere, even to the bathroom"
Sylvie also giggles "Are you sure we're not related?"
"Not that I'm aware of, why?"
"We just do everything the same"
"Great minds think alike"
Jess, Sylvie and Naomi giggle. Naomi looks over her shoulder at Jay who can't keep his eyes off her.
Standing up and rubbing her head "Just going to go get some fresh air, it's stuffy in here, be right back"
Jay noticed Naomi walking out of Molly's he discreetly follows and finds Naomi with her back to Molly's in the alley. Jay taps Naomi on her shoulder.
Naomi bites her lip "Is that a concealed weapon or are you just pleased to see me?"
Jay scoffs "Having these concealed has been the most uncomfortable feeling ever, for you?"
"Oh my god thank you" Naomi accepts the roses and chocolates and smiles at Jay "You really are the sweetest guy ever"
Naomi leans in to Jay and kisses him before giggling "We best get back inside before either Jess or Sylvie come looking for me"
What Jay and Naomi hadn't noticed was a dark figure watching them, Benny arrives and notices the figure retreating and decides to follow. Once inside the only one who seems to notice that Jay and Naomi are there is Stella.
"So...Nice shade of lipstick Halstead. Nice roses and chocolates Naomi"
"Damn it!"
"Here I'll take those"
Stella takes the roses and chocolate and hides them behind the bar before swanning off and winking at Naomi and Jay.
Peter and Jess are mingling when Peter notices his mum and sister Elise standing next to Trudy and Mouch.
"Oh my god mom, what are you doing here?"
"Surprise Peter, how you feeling Jess?"
"Like I've got two tiny humans kicking me every minute of every day"
"When I was pregnant with Peter he actually kicked me so hard he cracked a rib"
"Well hopefully that doesn't happen to me, I've only just recovered from broken ribs"
"How is 61?"
Jess giggles at Elise "Did you seriously ask how 61 is?"
Elise nods and wanders away "Ingrid I'm glad you're here, how long are you in Chicago?"
"Till you give birth to my grandbabies, Jess"
Peter smiles "Mom that's wonderful news"
Ingrid smiles hugs both Jess and Peter before wandering around Molly's talking to everyone.
Stella after 20 minutes announces that it was gender reveal time for Jess, Peter, Matt and Sylvie and the four adults made their way to the front, Jess and Peter stood with two balloons filled with pink or blue confetti one with baby a and one with baby b on them. Matt and Sylvie held one balloon filled with pink or blue confetti.
"Jess you have a pin you go first"
Baby A is...GIRL!
Everyone cheers before Peter puts the pin to the balloon he was holding.
Baby B is...Boy!
"Oh my god one of each, I love you Jess"
"Love you too"
Matt and Sylvie congratulate their friends, everyone looks at Matt holding the balloon and Sylvie puts the pin towards the balloon.
Baby Casey is...Girl!
Everyone cheers and Jess, Peter, Casey and Sylvie accept all hugs, Sylvie walks away and sits at the table, Matt follows.
"You OK Sylvie?"
"Yeah of course Matt, I'm happy were having a little girl, but I just wish I was having twins too. Me and Jess have done everything else the same, but not this"
Matt hugs Sylvie and they continue enjoying the joint baby shower, the amount of gifts both couples received was enough to start their own shop, they got everything they needed and more.
Trudy notices that throughout the night Jay and Naomi were getting close and now they were sat together and holding each others hand, Trudy approaches them and couldn't help but smile.
"So you two?"
Naomi and Jay nod and smile at Trudy, Trudy starts to walk away before turning back around "Keep it covered Halstead"
