OMG! I am so so so sorry I haven't updated in forever! I had total writer's block gasp and was stuck on where to go...but I'm starting back up again and, for all of the trilogy folks, part 3, The Ending Is Always Sweeter, will be out very soon! Alrighty so here is chapter three of Confessions of an SVU Daughter!
Disclaimer: If you recognize them, I don't own them!
I entered school the next morning with my stomach in many knots. I immeadiately found Taylor, hiding in the corner from everyone else.
"Taylor, can I talk to you a minute?" I asked her.
"Sure, what's up?" Taylor asked cheerfully.
"Ummm, I know this is kinda not the best place in the world to talk about this, but, have you taken..." I asked.
"A pregnancy test?" Taylor cut me off. I shook my head, feeling a little embarrassed. "Not yet, but I got Alexis to buy me one. I'm going to take it during lunch. Will you come with me?"
"Of course. Then, will you go to the police?" I pleaded.
"No. I told you, Avery. No one needs to know about this. I'll go away, I'll have the baby, I'll raise her myself."
"Taylor, what the heck! My mom and dad can help you and put this guy in jail and he will never see the light of day again!"
"No, Avery!" Taylor said as the first bell rang. She stormed off to class. I groaned as I walked to my first hour class.
I trudged the first half of the day. At lunch, I stuffed my barbeque sandwich in my mouth and met Taylor and Alexis in the bathroom beside the gym. Alexis and I sat outside the stall when we suddenly heard Taylor start crying.
"Tay, baby, you okay?" Alexis said.
"I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna kill that son of a..."
"Watch it Taylor!" I warned.
"I need an appointment with a doctor!" Taylor cried.
"Call Dr. Hammons," I whispered to Alexis as I wrote her phone number on her hand. Mom and Dad haven't gotten me or Sam cell phones yet, unfortunately, but having SVU detectives for parents, you learn numbers you might need some day. Alexis nodded as I exited the bathroom. Mom had to know about Taylor, especially since she was pregnant.
"Taylor's WHAT?" Mom whispered quietly as she and I sat in the break room that afternoon.
"Pregnant and I'm willing to bet the father is that idiot that raped her," I replied just as quietly.
"And she's still refusing to talk to us?" Mom asked again.
"Yeah," I replied and, at that moment, I saw Alexis enter the squadroom. "Hold on, Mom. I'll be right back," I said as I walked to the door. "Hey, what's up?" I asked her.
"I know Taylor doesn't want this getting out, but it's got to be reported. She's fourteen years old and pregnant, for crying out loud, and I figured since your mom and dad are detectives, maybe they could help me," Alexis said as I led her to the breakroom.
"Can I let you in on a secret?" I asked. Alexis nodded and then I whispered, "I already filled in my mom on everything."
Alexis's eyes widened as she whispered, "Does she know about..."
"Yeah," I replied as we entered the breakroom. "Mom, this is Alexis, Taylor's best friend," I told Mom as we sat down.
"Hello, Alexis," Mom smiled as I grabbed some drinks out of the fridge and tossed them to Mom and Alexis.
"So, I did come here for another reason besides to attempt to report the rape. Taylor's set up a doctor's appointment for next Friday after school and she wants both of us to come," Alexis said.
"Friday?" I asked. Friday was the day Sam, Jordan, Deanna, Dalton, and I do some extra help around the precinct. That Friday was also Samantha's and my 15th birthday, so I wasn't sure I would be allowed to go.
Mom knew what I was thinking and said, "She can be a little late home from school. Just not too late."
"Great! She called that doctor whose number you gave me, Dr. Hammons? The appointment is at 3:30," Alexis said as she stood up. "I have to go home now. Nice meeting you, Mrs. Stabler. See you tomorrow, Avery," she said as she waved and exited the precinct. I leaned backwards in the seat. This was going to be a very stressful two weeks.
The day of Taylor's appointment, exactly two weeks after her rape, we rode the bus to 42nd Avenue and sat in the waiting room when Taylor went inside. An hour later, she came out and said, "Two weeks along." Alexis gave Taylor a hug as we stepped outside to wait for the city bus. When we arrived at the precinct, there was a wrapped present on Mom's desk. The tag had my name on it. Puzzled, I opened the tag and read it:
Happy Birthday Avery Lee! We love you!-Cragen, Munch, Fin, Casey, Warner, and Doc
I ripped off the polka dotted paper and I saw a white box. Alexis and Taylor helped me rip off the top of the box and what was inside shocked me. It was a turquoise LG Scoop! Suddenly, I heard Sam scream and she ran over to me!
"I got orange!" she exclaimed.
"I got blue!" I yelled and we jumped up and down as I saw Cragen walk out of the office. Sam and I attacked him as we screeched, "Thank you!"
He smiled as we opened the phones and began investigating the features.
The precinct had also bought us gift cards for Macy's, Abercrombie, Itunes, and a bunch of other stores. Mom and Dad bought us purses, mine was a blue leather to match my phone and Sam's was orange. There were matching wallets and Sam's had a matching make up bag and mine had a change purse. My awesome day had just gotten even better!
I know, el lamo, right? But it was the only thing I could come up with at this particular moment...up next!
Avery and Sam host their fifteenth birthday bash...and Taylor's rapist makes a second attempt...
"Stop, stop! Oh my god, stop!"
"Your parents can't save you now!"
