Chapter 7:
Dean walked up the rescue stairs and into Michelle's office, where Vince was talking to Michelle. He knocked on the door interrupting their conversation. "Deano, what's up?" Vince asked
Dean sighed "Ah. I had to make Chase stay home today"
"Why?" Vince said angered
"His pretty sick this morning, he thinks his drink got spiked last night by the barmen" Dean said unimpressed
"Shit. Is he okay?" Michelle asked concerned getting up from her desk
"Yeah…He will be, I told him to call me if he feels worse or anything like that" Dean said before he walked out and sat down in front of his computer next to Lara. Lara rolled her chair over to face Dean
"Where's Chase?" Lara asked looking around
"His really sick" Dean said as he turned on his computer screen
"Is he going to be okay?" Lara asked concerned
"Yeah he will be" Dean said easing Lara's concern. Heidi walked up the rescue hand in hand with Jordan. She had just reached the top of the staircase when the whole unit started to spin and become blurry. She gripped tighter onto Jordan's hand and came to a stop
"Heid?" Jordan asked concerned as he stopped in front of her. Heidi shook her head and blinked a few times hoping the blurriness would pass. It didn't in fact if anything it got worse the next thing Heidi remembered was the faint sound of Jordan shouting her name then complete darkness.
"Heidi, come on Heidi, open your eyes up for me. Can you hear me Heid?" Jordan asked shaking Heidi's shoulders gently as Dean and Lara rushed over with Michelle and Vince.
"What happened?" Dean asked as he crouched down beside Heidi
"She just collapsed" Jordan said panicking as he rubbed Heidi's forehead. A few seconds later Heidi slowly opened her eyes adjusting to the familiar faces that crouched around her.
"What happened?" Heidi asked trying to sit up as she rubbed her head
"You collapsed" Jordan said worried as he made her lean against him
"What did you eat for breakfast?" Vince asked
"Uh…Just a few pieces of toast" Heidi said quietly
"Maybe you should be eating more now babe" Jordan whispered into Heidi's ear, although Dean heard him
"What do you mean eat more?" Dean asked confused and he and Jordan helped Heidi to her feet. Heidi and Jordan both shared looks at each other not answering his question. Dean gave them a stern look "Is there something we should know about?"
"I….I didn't want to tell anyone until I knew it was fine" Heidi said as she gripped onto Jordan's hand for support.
"Heidi" Michelle said sternly giving her a concerned look
Heidi took a deep breath in and out "I…found out I was pregnant". The room was filled with joy and excitement although there was a long pause before someone spoke
"That's fantastic Heidi" Michelle said bringing her arms around Heidi and gently hugging her. Dean was next to share his condolences.
"You better be making me the godfather, Heidi-Ho" Vince said as he hugged Heidi. She looked up and smiled nodding her head
"So when did you find out?" Dean asked as they walked back to their computers
"A few days ago" Heidi said as she sat down with the help of Jordan
"Well, maybe you should be eating more. I'm going to give you a quick check" Dean said as he ventured off to pick up a medical bag
Vince sighed "Well know that we know that, you're on light duties. No rescues just paperwork"
Heidi moaned "Vince I can still work!"
"No Heidi, it won't be safe" Vince argued with the help of Michelle
"Come on Vince please. I won't do anything with the harnesses and if their big rescues, I'll co-ordinate with Michelle plea-aa-ss-ee" Heidi begged
Vince sighed and shook his head "Fine". Heidi jumped up excitedly and hugged Vince. Heidi turned around to face Dean and rolled her chair over to him where he had the medical bag ready
"Where's Chase?" Heidi asked concerned as she couldn't see him in the room. Dean wrapped the BP monitor around her arm to get a reading
"Ah. His pretty sick, he thinks that his drink got spiked or his got a really bad flu" Dean said concerned as he pulled out his phone to see no calls or texts from Chase. After a few more seconds Dean sighed as he unwrapped the BP monitor off her arm "Your BP's low Heidi"
"Shit. Is he okay?" Heidi asked becoming increasingly worried about Chase more than herself
"Yeah, he will be" Dean smiled to ease Heidi's concern. "Now for you, you need to take it easy, and you need to eat a proper breakfast alright?" Heidi nodded her head and rolled back to her position behind the computer screen. She had her back facing Jordan when he swirled her chair around to face him. He brushed the hair off her face and gave her a kiss on her lips. Dean got up and walked off out of sight
"What was that for?" Heidi smirked
"Because I love you, and I love our beautiful baby" Jordan whispered into Heidi's ear, she smiled and looked down at her stomach before returning her focus back to the paperwork in front of her.
Dean closed the change room door behind him and sat down on the bench that was in front of the lockers and sighed as he pulled his phone out. He scrolled down to Chase's and pressed the call button and brought the phone up closely to his ear. After five rings Dean was started to get worried, fastly tapping his foot on the ground "Come on Chase, pick up your phone"
"He…Hello?" Chase said groggily as he was awoken from his sleep. Chase was lying in bed with all the lights off and his curtains shut, making the room dark. He had a bottle of water beside him, with a bucket that had his vomit beside him.
"Chase, are you okay?" Dean practically shouted into the phone
"mmm" Chase mumbled as he lied on his side in his bed. The phone lay on the pillow as he places his ear against it, not having the effort to hold it to his ear. Dean becomes increasingly worried as he can't be with his little brother.
"Chase, answer me properly, are you okay?" Dean asked while he shakes his head
"Yeah…I guess" Chase says sleepily as he begins to shut his eyes again
"Will you be okay till I come home?" Dean asked
"Ye..ah" Chase mumbles as he drifts off to sleep. Dean can hear him started to breathe deeply, and knows that his going back to sleep, he has a way of breathing when he sleeps
"Are you going back to sleep?" Dean asks quickly before Chase has fallen into a deep sleep
"mmmm" Chase grunts annoyed at the fact that his trying to sleep, and Dean keep asks him questions
"I'll be home later. Call me if you need to" Dean said before he ended the call. Quickly thinking about how Heidi is pregnant, and that she would need maternity leave he decides to pick his phone back out of his pocket and scroll down the contacts
"Hey bro, what's going on?" Lachie (The Gallagher's older brother) asks
"Not much Lachie, Chase is home si-.." Dean was saying before being rudely cut of
"Is he okay?" Lachie asks concerned shouting
"Yeah, Yeah his fine, let me finish yeah?" Dean asks his tone filled with anger at his younger brother
"Yeah, sorry mate" Lachie said
"He thinks that his drink may have got spiked last night. But that's not why I wanted to call you, one of the girls, I just found out she's pregnant which means she'll be going on maternity leave. Vince is going to need someone, you in?" Dean asks as he peers through the blinds and looks out at Vince, to study what type of mood his in
"Hell yeah. Give me another call when you find out more information" Lachie said before hanging up the phone. Dean left the change rooms and walked back out to the office
"Hey Vince, looks like you'll be looking for someone to fill in Heidi's position in a few months" Dean said
"Yeah. Who you got in mind?" Vince asked crossing his arms
"My brother" Dean said keeping it short
"If you haven't noticed Deano, your brother does work here, you douche" Vince said being a smart ass
"I do have another brother" Dean stated
"Oh god. Not another Gallagher" Lara grunted. Dean looked over glaring at Lara as he shook his head, at the smirk on her face
"There's three of you?" Vince asked shocked
"Yeah, his names Lachie. The middle child, his about five years younger than me" Dean said as he turned to face Vince
"Does he even have any previous experience, you know any degrees?" Vince asked
"Yeah, use to be a medical officer in the army or something like that" Dean said
"Call him in" Vince said before walking into Michelle's office
"I'm not leaving for another six months" Heidi snarled, annoyed at how fast they were willing to replace her
"Earlier Heidi-Ho" Vince shouted looking back at her and giving her a cheesy smile. Heidi looked up and glared at Vince. As the day progressed, they'd be called out to a MVA and then a pack of drunken teenagers that had gotten lost in the bush after planning to go hiking. The team was stuffed, even though Heidi was around 10-12 weeks pregnant, she was feeling the wrath of working so much getting to her. She sighed as she looked up at the stairs above her; Jordan came up from behind her placing his hands on her waist and gave her a kiss behind her neck. He turned her around to face her and within seconds, he'd lifted her up, her legs wrapped around his waist she placed her arms around his neck. He walked her into the change rooms, where he placed her onto the bench.
(….)
Dean pulled up into his driveway; it was around 8:00pm. All the lights appeared to be off, Dean jumped out of his car, and the front lights flickered on and off as he locked his car. Opening the door, Dean knew that Chase must have been in bed. He turned on the lounge room and kitchen lights, chucking his keys on the couch as he walked through. Slowly opening up Chase's bedroom door, he found his little brother, lying on his stomach with his head rested comfortably on the pillow. Dean walked closer to his brother until he was next to his bed, gently shaking Chase; Dean spoke softly and whispered for his name. It took a few times before Chase came around.
"mmmmm. Wha-at?" Chase said as he awoke from his sleep, he rolled over facing Dean
"Are you okay?" Dean asked concerned as he saw how pale Chase really was
"I would be if I was sleeping" Chase whined, as he pulled the blankets up further to his head
"Yeah, well I've been worried about you all day" Dean said as he felt the head re-bound of Chase's forehead and onto the back of his hand
"I wanna sleep" Chase said closing his eyes
"Alright" Dean nodded his head. Within minutes Chase was back asleep again. Dean pulled a chair from the kitchen and brought it into Chase's room placing it close to his bed; he sat back watching Chase sleep, making sure that he was okay. It was around 11:00pm when Dean finally fell asleep himself, but it wasn't long before he was woken up by the sound of Chase tossing and turning in his bed sheets.
The following morning
Dean woke up to find Chase still asleep; he got out of the chair and walked out to the kitchen where he put the jug on to make a cup of coffee. Pulling some bread out of the fridge, he heard a door open. Shutting the fridge door, he saw Chase walking still half asleep towards him. "Did I wake you?" Dean asked worried
Chase shook his head "Nah. Couldn't sleep in anymore" He sat at the kitchen table and rubbed his face tiredly. Dean looked over unimpressed
"Well, you certainly won't be going to work like that still, you realize that?" Dean asked as he poured himself a coffee and placed the bread in the toaster
"Serious?" Chase moaned
"Deadly" Dean spat back as he watched his toast cook
"I'm fine. I feel better compared to yesterday" Chase argued while he tried to hide the yawn that crept out of his mouth
"Yeah, and we can't have you falling asleep at a rescue can we?" Dean asked being a smartass
"So, I guess it's back to bed?" Chase grunted while he got up out of his chair
"Yup. I'll come see you before I go. Oh and Lachie might be coming up soon too" Dean said before Chase walked into his room
"Okay" Chase shouted from his room, before he shut the door and slid back into his warm comfy bed.
Sorry, I had to cut it short there. Really sorry, if it's bad:(.
