I don't own these characters, just a fan wanting to tell a story! Hope you enjoy *Spoilers for 'the bogeyman' and 'the Blue Templar'*
"Dr. Tanner, what are you doing here?" Danny questioned.
"I swore an oath to do no harm and I have broken that oath," Dr. Tanner said shakily, "I'm here to turn myself in, as an accessory for the murder of Detective Lopez and the attempted murder of Detective Davis, Officer Reagan, and Officer Janko." She stated clearly, so the whole room heard her statement.
Silence fell over the entire office.
"Please just arrest me before I change my mind." Dr. Tanner pleaded, offering her wrist to be handcuffed.
"You are turning yourself in?" Danny questioned in disbelief, a doctor had operated on countless cops, trying to save them was admitting to killing one and trying to kill three others.
"Do you mind writing everything down and signing it," Biaz said, handing her a note pad.
"I'm going to need more than one." Dr. Tanner stated, "There is too much information."
"Let's talk in privet," Danny suggests, he was still confused, he didn't understand it, Dr. Tanner worked with his wife, she knew what it was like to tell a cop's family that their loved one is dead. How could she kill one?
They lead Dr. Tanner into the box and she took a seat.
"Okay start from the beginning, and explain what the hell you are talking about," Danny ordered.
Dr. Tanner nodded, and she wiped away her tears and took a deep shaky breath.
"I work on the weekends at a drug rehab, helping people get over addictions, mostly cocaine and heroin. In my work, I began to notice that people seemed to do better gradually coming off the drug instead of cold turkey. I couldn't do anything about it, but I wanted to help. I'm used to treating OD's who come in in the ER and wanted to find a way to make sure people couldn't get ahold of tainted drugs. You remember, about three or four years ago a new brand of heroin hit the market, it was called the bogeyman and it was killing people left and right?" Dr. Tanner started,
Danny nodded, over sixty-eight people died from the drug, including one of his CI's
"I was working ER that week, I remember like it was yesterday, parents coming in just to hear that kids had already died. I was used to seeing OD's every so often but we couldn't help these people they were dying" Dr. Tanner said looking at her hands which she was clasping and unclasping. "
"We were furious, about a week later about of doctor's from a bunch of different hospitals met together to discuss what happened. We were through with the system," Dr. Tanner was speaking quickly, she avoids eye contact with the detectives. "You know what the blue Templar was?"
Danny straightened, and nodded, "they are all locked up or dead."
"Well, they had a few doctors at St. Vincent's in their pockets before they go bust, so we became the new Blue Templar but since we were doctor's we renamed it the Red Templar to live like it used to before in the 'good ol'days'. We came up with a plan, deal our own drugs. We were dealing with cocaine mostly, a couple of the doctors have friends in South America. We made sure they were clean and make sure people were responsible with them; well that's what it started out as. We started using the drugs on people in the rehabs slowly lowering their doses till they were no longer dependent. At first, it was working, people were getting off the drugs and we were having fewer numbers of teen's coming in. The people who had suggested we start dealing our own drugs thought would be a good idea to start selling our product to a few of the gangs around the hospitals, 'to help protect people from tainted drugs' they would say. I agreed with them. We did that for three years, slowly but surely undermining most of the gang in the Bronx till they were dependent on us being their suppliers. Then Carrie Walsh got arrested, with cocaine on her. We panicked, what if she ratted us out when she came out on bail a couple of the 'crew' paid her a visit. When I woke up the next morning she was dead, they claimed she had already OD when they went to see her, but I didn't believe them. None of us did. I knew that the cops would soon trace Carrie's death would soon be traced back to one of us. That when we began to realize we had been used to the few of the original Templar could start ruling over the gangs, The group split in two, those who thought Carrie's death was justified by the 'good' we were doing and those who thought we were going too far. Last week, I was going through some of the finance for the shell company we created to launder the money we were getting through the business and I saw that about five doctors were taking more than the agreed upon amount, I confronted them and they told me that the needed the money to pay off four gangs to do different hits, they said it was for the greater good." Dr. Tanner press her hands together.
"I swear to God, I didn't know they were planning on going after cops, then when I got three cops in my hospital and one more who nearly got shot. I put it together; I spent yesterday, realizing that I became a doctor to help people and had killed them instead." Dr. Tanner finished finally looking up,
"We need you to write everything you just told us down, and if you are willing to testify against the other doctors who ordered the hits, we may be able to get you a lighter sentence," Danny said handing her a pen and note pad.
"I will, and I have audio recordings of all our meetings, they didn't know I was making them, but I will gladly give them up if it will help the case. I always thought that one day they may become useful" Dr. Tanner stated almost as an afterthought.
"Thanks," Danny said, "I'll leave you to write that statement," his blood was boiling, he didn't care if had a different name but the Blue Templar was back and had tried to steal another brother from him. Why hadn't they been more through with the captives?
"Detective Reagan, be careful, I don't have anyone but myself to be worried about, but these guys don't want to go down for this, they will do anything to escape. Anything" Dr. Tanner added.
Danny and Biaz walked out of the box.
"That woman is going to make the DA's office so happy," Biaz said in disbelief.
"Yeah, but my family is going to be pissed." Danny spat.
"Why?" Biaz questioned.
"The Blue Templar killed Joe," Danny said and kept walking leaving Biaz confused.
Eddie and Jamie were escorted to the armed car that would take them to the doctor for Eddie's appointment.
"I'm nervous," Eddie admitted,
"Why?" Jamie questioned taking Eddie's hand.
"I just hope everything with the baby is okay," Eddie admitted, holding Jamie's hand tightly, hoping that the driver didn't see how close they were sitting.
They soon arrived at the doctor's office, Eddie was shocked by how much paperwork she had to fill out, and since her right arm was broken she had to have Jamie fill out most of it.
"I hate the doctor's office." Eddie confessed, "They are always so clean and uncomfortable."
"Yeah, I don't like them either," Jamie remarked.
Jamie was watching a little boy sitting next to his mom while his mom read him a story. Would the baby like being read to? Would the baby look like Eddie or me?
"Do want a boy or girl?" Jamie questioned, turning to look at Eddie. He was talking quietly so the cop who was their detail wouldn't hear what they were talking about. They were using the cover that Eddie just didn't want to go to the appointment alone and that's why Jamie had come.
"I really don't care as long as the baby is healthy." Eddie stated, firmly, "What about you?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I think a boy would be nice, I see Danny with Jack and Sean and looks so much easier then Erin with Nicki." Jamie said, "But I think to have a girl would be really nice, but if she is half as beautiful as her mother I might not sleep much worrying about her."
"Aw, thanks, Jameson." Eddie said, pretending to blush and by using his full first name making him uncomfortable, "You not so bad yourself."
"Janko, Edit." A nurse called, Eddie jumped at here her first name.
Eddie and Jamie both rose and walked over to the nurse.
"Does the cop have to come with you?" The nurse questioned, seeing that the detail had followed them to the hallway.
"Yes, my orders are to stay with them and stay outside the door while the appointment happens" The officer stated.
"Very well," The nurse sighed.
Eddie was weighed, her height measured, she also had to have her blood drawn. They were taken back to a room with two chairs and a doctor table.
"Dr. Perry should be in shortly." The nurse said after she took Eddie's blood pressure.
The suspense was building in Eddie, would the baby be okay?
A knock came at the door, and the woman with short blond hair entered, she had bright blue eyes and a kind smile.
"Hi, I'm Dr. Perry," She said sweetly.
"I'm Eddie, this is Jamie," Eddie said, returning the smiled.
"Are you the father?" Dr. Perry questioned.
"Yes," Jamie responded, find it strange to say but it felt right.
"Today, we are going to talk about dates and figure out a due date, check your size and the baby heart rate." Dr. Perry stated, sitting in the spinny doctor chair.
"Okay," Eddie agreed.
Jamie zoned out while Dr. Perry and Eddie talked about periods, and her normal cycle, most if confused him so he decided to think about something else. Would he and Eddie live together when the baby was born or would they take turns?
Eddie felt uncomfortable talking about certain things in front of Jamie but one glance at him showed he had already zoned out, and something about that was comfortable almost like he knew she didn't really want him listening to her.
"Okay, let's measure your stomach to make sure the baby is growing properly." Dr. Perry stated, calling Jamie back to reality. She took out a tape measure and had Eddie lift up her shirt so she measures without the clothing interfering.
"So how long have you to been together?" Dr. Perry questioned,
"Oh, we're not," Eddie stated, quickly "We are just friends."
"Oh," Dr. Perry said knowingly, causing Eddie to blush slightly but why should be she ashamed she and Jamie were both adults, and soon the blush was gone.
"What was your waist before you got pregnant?" Dr. Perry asked,
"29 inches when I was last measured for my Kevlar vest." Eddie stated, "I can look it up though, I keep my measurement on my phone for new uniforms."
"Yeah, could you double check that." Dr. Perry said, writing down the measurements.
Eddie was concerned why Dr. Perry was asking these questions. She took out her phone and double checked her measurements,
"Yeah, 29 inches," Eddie stated, looking up from her phone.
"Okay," Dr. Perry said, "thanks for double checking."
"Is something wrong?" Jamie questioned, taking Eddie's hand. Which Dr. Perry pretended to overlook, but seeing the Eddie grasped it back made her wonder if they were really "just friends"
"No, she's just measuring about two weeks bigger than someone at eleven weeks." Dr. Perry,
"Which means?" Eddie asked the concern showing in her voice.
"It means your dates might be off or you could be having twins but just to be sure I'm going to have an ultrasound done." Dr. Perry stated, writing some things down on her clipboard. "I understand that you are both are under heavy protection so I will send you down to radiology right now so you guys don't have to come back in and have your detail following you," Dr. Perry said with a smile. But they didn't hear her "Twins" Echoed in their minds that had never crossed their minds. They were escorted down to radiology with Dr. Perry, she knew she was going to have a lot of back up, patients but she had gotten a call from the Police commissioner asking her to do anything she could for the new parents, and since her husband worked for the NYPD she promised she would do her best.
Eddie and Jamie sat anxiety filling both of them, as Eddie lay back on the table and the radiologist prepared to do an ultrasound, Dr. Perry stood by waiting for the results. Soon a grainy image appeared on the screen. Eddie reached out her hand in search of Jamie's hand meet her's, her small hand slipping into his large one perfectly.
Jamie was used to seeing ultrasound pictures; he had seen many of Nicki, Jack, and Sean. He immediately saw that something looked different. Dr. Perry leaned in to get a better view and she smiled.
"Forget maybe twins, there are defiantly twins." The radiologist said.
"Twins?" Eddie said shakily,
"OH MY GOD TWINS! I thought I was going to have my hands full with one, what am I going to do with twins" was what she wanted to say, she was stressed with the idea of one and now there were going to be two.
"Do you guys want to hear the heartbeat?" Dr. Perry asked, looking at the pair as the processed the information.
"Yes," both Eddie and Jamie said.
The radiologist pressed a few buttons and then the familiar footstep sound filled the room. Eddie felt Jamie's hand tighten around hers, he was hearing their babies' heartbeats for the first time. Eddie glanced at him was surprised to see that there were tears in his eyes, as much as he tried to hide them. She squeezed his hand comfortingly.
Eddie and Jamie finished the appointment and were soon on their way back to the Reagan house.
"Twins," Jamie said after a long silence in the car, "We are having twins."
