Chapter 6
Amanda had been asleep for a couple of hours when she woke up to see Nick watching her.
"You're still here? I thought you would have gone home to get some rest."
"I'm good. I've slept in worse and I wanted to be here when you woke up to make sure you were okay and I wanted to continue our talk. Are you up for that?"
Amanda nodded.
You said before that you hadn't had gotten your head around being pregnant and how I would respond to you being pregnant. And I get that Amanda I do. But did you stop to consider me at all? How I felt about you. You were trying to make decisions; decisions that I should have been a part of when you found out you were pregnant."
Amanda looked down knowing Nick was right. After a couple of seconds Amanda looked at Nick.
"I'm sorry Nick. I was just in shock. It was overwhelming. I had never considered kids. I was on the fast track with my career. But since we are talking about it now how do you feel about me?
Nick shifted and thought "You heard that huh."
"You said before that I never considered how you felt about me Nick. So how do you feel?"
Nick wasn't one to talk much about his feelings.
"I know that I feel something for you Amanda. I was upset that you left for your next UC op. I wanted to get to know you as you not as Sara Moss. I thought about you when you were on your OP. I just wanted to call you make sure you were okay. I want to see where this leads and I want to be there for my child."
"What about you Amanda. Do you feel anything for me?" Asked Nick
Amanda took a breath in. "During that OP I was playing a character, a completely different person. When I found out you were a cop I breathed a sigh of relief I didn't have to put on that persona. That night after we completed the OP and were at the bar. I was happy to be there with you I wanted to get to know Amaro not Diego and then the other OP came up and I had to not think of you. I couldn't get distracted. I was embedded in my cover for 3 months when the target got into a fire fight and I ended up with three shots to the chest and ended up here."
Nick gave Amanda a confused look. "That doesn't answer my question Amanda."
"Actually it does Nick. The person that I was thinking about. The person I wanted here was you. "It was your name, well your name and your undercover name that I told the doctor. I'm still nervous about the baby and you but..."
"But what Amanda?"
"Well if you let me finish! I want to try and make this work with you." She said
Nick smiled.
Over the next 2 weeks Nick was at the hospital everyday checking in on Amanda and his baby. He would spend a couple of hours each day with Amanda.
Amanda was being discharged today and like clockwork Nick was at the hospital waiting to take her home.
"Hi" he said
"Hey, yourself."
"Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah I'm ready to head home, take a shower, and sleep in my own bed."
"Oh..." Said Nick
"Is everything okay?" she asked
"Yeah, I just thought you could stay with me I know the bullet wounds will still be healing and I will be able to help you out."
Amanda looked at Nick. "Thanks for the offer Nick. You've been really great these last 2 weeks. I know we are dating but we don't have to be together every night. I really just need a night at home on my own.
"Alright" Said Nick
"Your upset aren't you?"
"No. I'm good. Let's get you home" Said Nick with a forced smile.
30 minutes later Nick and Amanda arrived at Amanda's apartment.
"Thanks for the lift." Said Amanda as she got out of the car.
"Here let me walk you up." Said Nick
"Oh, that's okay you've done enough."
Nick looked at Amanda not saying a word and walked around the side of his car. Amanda knew she had done something wrong.
"Alright now I know I've done something wrong. Nick talk to me please."
Nick ran his hands over his face. "I'm trying to do the right thing here Amanda. I want to be able to take care of you. Be able to make sure you're okay after getting out of the hospital after 3 bullet wounds to the chest."
Amanda ran her hand through her hair, realising what Nick what trying to say she walked around to Nick and took hold of his hand. "I'm sorry." She said. "I've been on my own for so long. I'm used to relying on myself."
Nick took Amanda's face in his hand. "You're not alone anymore Amanda. I'm here for you and our child."
Amanda smiled.
"Okay, but I'm still okay to get upstairs myself "she said.
Nick smiled and chuckled. "Alright. I'll call you later."
Amanda kissed Nick and headed up the stairs to her apartment, opened her door and saw an unexpected figure.
"Hello Julia or should I say Detective Rollins." Said the man who turned to reveal himself as the target of her latest OP, a target who she was told was dead. A target named Santiago Diaz.
