Peter stands waiting patiently for them all to leave and grabs Susan by the arm as she leaves. He pulls her in to the alcove.
"OUCH. Peter what are you doing?"
"You conniving little bitch. Why did you do that? You fucked up my case and now I've lost my kids."
"Let go of me."
"Not until you rectify this."
"I cant. There's too much at stake."
"What do you mean?"
"Chris. He knows things. Things that could ruin me and me keeping Blaze and my relationship with Antonio."
"I don't give a fuck about your new relationship."
"Maybe you should. Now let go of me or I will scream and make sure everyone knows about all your abuse as well."
"You fucking what?"
"You heard me. Now if you don't mind I'm leaving. I'm going to Molly's as per the invite and I suggest you go and get your life in order Peter but make sure you never contact me again and the next time you touch me then I will make sure every single injury I've documented over the last five and a half years since you fathered Blaze comes out in the wash and seeing as your sister and mother already know it wouldn't be that difficult to let everyone else know especially as I'm now in a relationship with a copper. Oh and by the way Blaze knows you are his father. And not only that BIA know exactly what you've done including districy 21. They're just waiting for you to make one step in the wrong direction. But hey if you want to carry on doing what you're doing then its down to me to tell you that you're on a very slippery slope and it leads to destruction of life."
*COVER DRIVE BY TWILIGHT* starts to play from Susan's handbag and abruptly stops. Antonio rounds the corner and sees Peter holding on to Susan's arm. Antonio looks at Peter.
"Remove your arm from my pregnant fiancé's arm before I break every single bone in your arm you scheming manipulative blackmailing fucking scumbag. You're nothing but a piece of shit."
Peter drops his hand and looks at Antonio.
"Prepare yourself for infidelity then mate because she's nothing but a dirty little cheat."
"HAHAHA. Don't make me laugh, I know how to satisfy a woman unlike you but I think this conversation is over now. You ready baby?"
"Yes babe I'm done with all of this." Susan links her hand in to Antonio's with a quick glance over her shoulder to see if Peter was following.
Peter smirks and starts planning his revenge. Next on his list was to call in his back up.
Things were fraught and the family had no clue that the BIA had all been called to a briefing. The wives had no idea that their men were still all enlisted as reserves however this was a family affair not an army affair.
The BIA had gathered in the booth in the most discreet corner of Molly's patio. Everyone was curious as to what they were discussing but there were lots of people interfering and trying to get information. Tom and Chris had been fed information to say there were hits arranged for a lot of the family including Isaac again. Chris and Tom knew though that they had to head back to the hospital as for the court case he had been left alone. Chris decided to finish the chat with BIA later when they could be alone.
Chris and Tom had left Molly's together. This was going to be problematic trying to take a hit on one person when they couldn't tell them apart especially as Chris was wearing trousers. The SUV following the mustang with Chris and Tom in was getting closer and closer to the Gilmour twins trunk. They were headed to Med. Naomi was still partying with her husband and having a nice slow romantic dance. Susan sat huddled up to Antonio with her head on his shoulder as they discussed the day with Maverick and Jess.
"Thank you for today Susan but what's the real reason you volunteered all that information to help me and my family?"
Maverick looks on intently waiting for her to answer. Susan looks at Maverick.
"The BIA had a very persuasive argument."
Jess shrugs off Maverick's arm from round her shoulders and looks directly at him.
"Did you know anything about this babe?"
"No princess I promise I knew nothing."
"Its true Jess he didn't know anything. It was the twins."
"I might've guessed they'd have something to do with it. The little shits where are they?" Jess said looking around Molly's for a glimpse of even just one of them.
"Why consume yourself with anger when you got the outcome you desired?" Antonio questions.
"Good point well made Detective Dawson but do you have to be so god damn smug about it."
"Ok Jess point made"
Everyone went back to discussing general life and pregnancies and the future.
Chris and Tom arrived at Med and as soon as Tom got out of the passenger side the SUV picked up speed narrowly missing Tom. If it weren't for Chris dragging Tom over the bonnet he wouldn't still be here.
"You ok bro?"
"Yes Chris I am fine apart from nearly being run over by an SUV that has a driver who has a death wish and having my ass saved YET again by my younger twin brother. I mean seriously bro when are you going to let me save your life? Don't think I have forgotten what you did in Afghanistan. We had orders yes but that should have been me."
"Ah well no regrets big bro. I would always save your ass. Two nil to me but who's counting. Come on lets go see our little soldier in the making."
Chris and Tom head inside and as they reach the ward they see four heftily built security guards standing at the door to Isaac's room. As Chris and Tom try to pass the security guards try to forcibly stop them. Chris and Tom look at each other and nod both knowing what is coming next and start to tense anticipating each others moves. Chris shifts to the right and Tom shifting to the left. Mary P stands with Isaac settled on her shoulder watching the mêlée going on in the corridor. Seeing the twins about to get physical with practically the only four security guards in the NICU Mary P heads towards them to deflect the confrontational stances that Chris and Tom were stood in. Knowing what comes next Mary P knew she had to reduce the tension.
"Karlos the twins here are at the top of the proscribed list and are allowed to come in and out as they please so please refrain from trying to kick their asses as they will most certainly take you all down in one fair swoop. Pardon the pun there Chris."
Chris and Tom chuckle and Karlos instructs the men under his command to step aside and allow the twins in to Isaac's room. Isaac settled on Mary's shoulder is looking at the twins with his big sapphire blue eyes at Chris and Tom who follow Mary in to the room. Upon entering they notice Chief Gilmour hovering in the background.
The twins looked knocked for six when they walked in seeing their dad and stood frozen to the spot for a few seconds. Chief Gilmour was pacing and as soon as he saw his boys he stopped.
Mary P looked between the twins and the chief.
"Twins I was told by your father here he was on the approved list. However it has come to light that he's not listed isn't that right Patrick?"
"I know but I had to see my boys its important" Patrick claims.
The twins exchange lopsided glances in a brief millisecond before turning their attention back to the room.
"Its ok Mary we've got eyes on Isaac now, I'm assuming our little soldier has had his feed and change of nappy?"
"Of course. He is also down to 0.01% of oxygen and is withstanding three hours without the oxygen therapy however any longer than that and he starts to struggle but he's doing great. He's drinking nearly a full ninety ml bottle every three to four hours now he is left to his own devices to wake up to feed but he has just had one. His next one is due at midnight when Naomi is due to be back."
"Thank you Mary I will forward that information on to Naomi and Jay. When we left they were having some quality husband and wife time so I will not be disturbing them therefore I expect anything that happens in the next three and a half hours comes through either myself or my brother Chris here."
Mary smiles and nods to the twins.
"Will you deal with him?"
"Of course we will Mary. You can go on your break now."
"Thank you kind sir" she curtsies and laughs at Tom as he bows back and she walks out of the room. Tom looks up at Chris and shrugs.
"If you cant beat them join them bro isn't that right little brother?"
"Have I ever told you that you're a royal prick Tom?"
Tom hugs his little brother and they both laugh hysterically until Patrick clears his throat.
Isaac in his cot slowly drifts back off in to his little dream world where there are no bad guys just unicorns, his milk, his family, and best of all no arguments.
Chris sees Isaac drifting and gives him his taggie blanket which Isaac is rooting for. As soon as Chris places it gently in to his hand Isaac drifts off completely and Chris and Tom's attention turns to Patrick still pacing.
"What's so urgent that you had to approach us tonight and here of all places? We told you never to come here unless it was an emergency. What's happened?"
"Henry Mills."
"What about him, how is he going to cause problems? He's dead?" Tom questions.
"He was killed in a fire years ago." Chris volunteers.
"That's not quite true boys" Patrick begins…
"That fire was a set up. Henry Mills approached me. Told me the Navy seals had approached him and he needed to leave. It was the only way we could secure it but a little birdie seems to have reached out to his little baby boy."
"Dad what the fuck have you done?" Tom asks.
"Not just me. The CFD brass and unfortunately someone close to home knows about it."
"Who?" Chris asks glaring at his father knowing what this means.
"Severide" Patrick says.
"Which severide?"
"This one now…" a voice says from behind the door.
"Fuck Kelly what were you doing lurking in the hallway?" Tom and Chris say in unison.
"Well I had planned on seeing my nephew but didn't know I would stumble upon this information. Go ahead Chief. Answer the question!" Kelly says holding his unblinking stare as Chief Gilmour starts to fiddle with his keys visibly nervous.
A silence follows…
A deafening silence…
