CHAPTER TWELVE:
Chase was slumped in a chair as Jordan was lying with Heidi in the gurney. His arms wrapped around her body as she was curled up in his chest. Her face was pale and her eyes were red and puffy from all the crying that she'd done previously.
(…..)
"Are you up for a visitor?" The nurse smiled at Heidi. Heidi looked up a nodded, her head, she glaned up at Jordan who kissed her on the forehead and smiled back down at her. The nurse slowly rolled in the small baby crib, where a little girl was sleeping.
Chase walked and sat on the edge of Heidi's bed next to the crib. He glanced over to see the small baby lying peacefully on her back. "She's beautiful" He commented
"You can hold her you know, I'll leave you alone for a few hours" The nurse stated before she walked out of the room leaving them alone
Chase bent over the small crib and picked up the little baby, she perfectly fitted into his hands; he carefully supported her neck as he held her softly as he passed her into Heidi's arms "Thanks" she said softly as she carefully took her child.
"She's beautiful, just like you" Jordan said as stroked the tiny cheeks of his new baby girl.
"What's her name?" Chase asked as he placed his finger into the little girls grip
"Whatever you want Heidi" Jordan said as he stroked Heidi's hair
"Sadie….Sadie Rose Zwitkowski" Heidi said smiling down at her baby. She handed Sadie up to Jordan who took his little girl into his hands. She let out a little yawn and opened her eyes up. Her big blue eyes stood out."Hey Sadie…I'm your Daddy… My names Jordan and there's your beautiful mummy, her names Heidi and over there is Uncle Chase..." Jordan explained as he held Sadie up to see Chase and Heidi. Heidi let out a loud yawn and rubbed her eyes tiredly. "Why don't you get some sleep babe…I'll be right here" Jordan said. He walked over to where Chase was sitting on the chair and placed Sadie in his arms.
"You're lucky Jordan…very lucky" Chase said as he looked down at the little girl in his arms.
"I know I am….You'll find someone mate.. Don't worry" Jordan said smiling.
The next morning "Uh..Excuse me Miss Wilson" A female nurse asked appearing from the door way
"Yes?" Heidi asked
"We need a name for your little boy, for the certificate" The nurse spoke softly and caring. Jordan sat closer to Heidi and put his arms around her ready to comfort her
"Chase.." Heidi said. Chase glanced over and looked at Heidi, he thought that she was getting his attention. "No…His name is Chase". Chase didn't know what to say, he stood there for a moment before he walked over and sat next to Heidi.
"I'm going to go get some breakfast" Jordan said before he got up and left.
"How you holding up?" Chase asked concerned
"Good" Heidi looked up and smiled at Chase to try and ease his concerns. As they sat there, little Sadie was still in her cot sound asleep while Heidi sat there admiring her. The next moment they were joined by the rest of their team. In rushed Vince who sprinted to the cot, and pulled Sadie up supporting her neck, Lara was next followed by Dean and Lachie.
"Hey, how you feeling babe?" Lara asked taking a seat next to her
"I'm fine…..seriously" Heidi said giving her a small smile before returning her attention to the team
"Let me hold her" Deane said glaring at Vince
"No way am I letting her down" Vince said holding her tighter
"What's her name Heidi?" Lachie asked
"Sadie" Heidi responded
"Alright time for Lara" Lara said clapping her hands and giving a stern look to Vince
Vince sighed "Fine" He handed Sadie over to Lara who instantly melted when her little eyes opened up and she could see her big blue eyes. Jordan walked in shortly after carrying a bag of food
"Ah. Here's the new father" Vince shouted as Jordan walked through. Jordan looked up and smiled just as Michelle walked through the door, she walked straight over to where little Sadie was being held by Lara.
"So this is our new little addition to rescue?" Michelle asked while she rubbed Sadie's head
"Yeah" Heidi said softly
"Well, I have something to make her feel part of rescue" Michelle said as she dug around in the big brown bag. "Ah, here we are" She said pulling out a tiny, tiny rescue outfit. It looked just like the rest of the teams but was micro-mini compared to theirs.
The whole team "awed" in amazement of the tiny outfit. "That's not all" Michelle added. She pulled out several tiny little girl outfits, Heidi leant up and gave Michelle a long tight hug.
"Alright…enough Lara. I want to hold her" Dean said taking the young child out of her arms and into his.
The team spent a couple of hours before having to head off to work, they each said their goodbyes. They couldn't give enough goodbyes to Sadie but finally they did and left the family to be alone.
7 months later….
Heidi pulled up to the stationhouse with little Sadie in her arms, she had her tiny rescue uniform on and the small amount of hair on her head had been managed to be put in a tiny ponytail. She walked over to where Chase was washing the cars; she snuck up behind him, placing Sadie onto his shoulders. Her tiny hands smacked onto his face making him turn around and take her out of Heidi's hands. "How's my little god daughter doing?" He asked bouncing her up and down on his hip, making Sadie laugh uncontrollably.
"She's doing good, she just had all her check-ups" Heidi said as they walked into the station house and they started walking up the stairs.
"Look how cute she looks" Chase said as he held Sadie up for everyone to see in the office
"She looks just like one of us" Lara stated. Jordan got up from his desk and walked over to Sadie taking her out of Chase's arms, planting a kiss on his young daughters forehead before carrying her back to his desk. Michelle walked over to where Heidi was standing, she took her hand and walked into the change rooms for a more private environment.
"Hey. I have something that I thought we could put up in the station house. I got this made" Michelle said showing Heidi the small plaque, Heidi gave Michelle a weird look before taking the plaque out of Michelle's hands and reading the print that was on the blue plaque. In loving memory of Chase Andrew Zwitkowski, forever in our hearts August 26 2011.
Tears started to form in Heidi's eyes as she ran her hand over the small plaque "Tha…Thankyou…" Heidi spoke softly as he voice crackled in sadness. Michelle wrapped her arms around Heidi's body and gave her a hug. After five minutes they walked back out to see the whole team downstairs surrounding one of the patrol cars, where little Sadie was sitting in the front seat of the patrol car, one of her little fingers was touching the steering wheel and she was laughing uncontrollably, obviously something was funny to her. Jordan pulled Heidi to the side "What'd Michelle want?"
"She made a plaque for our little boy…It has the most beautiful writing on it Jordan, It's so special. Where going to put it up here" Heidi explained to Jordan as she looked up at him.
"That's beautiful babe. I can't wait to see it. But hey guess what?" Jordan pulled Heidi close into his chest
"What?" she asked smirking
"Chase, Dean, Lachie and Lara are all taking care of Sadie tonight, so we can have some alone time" Jordan said grasping onto her waist
"mmm… sounds good" Heidi said smiling before she returned her attention back to the car. "Now…If you don't mind my little girl needs to be fed" Heidi said picking up Sadie from inside the car. Jordan walked over and then took his little girl out of Heidi's hands and carrying Sadie on his hip and up the station stairs to the office. He walked over to the small table and pulled the baby bag over closer to him reaching for the food. The rest of the team joined him, Sadie was sitting on the table and Jordan was feeding her
"Can you say Daddy?" Jordan asked in a baby-ish voice
"Get real Jordz. She'll say Mummy before anything else" Heidi cut in laughing
"Actually. It'll be more like Ch..Cha..se. Yeah Chase" Chase said smiling
"Funny, aren't ya?" Heidi said smacking the back of his head
"Oh you are beautiful" Jordan said to his little baby girl as he picked her up and stood her on his things bouncing her up and down making her have a high pitched laugh
"So when are you going to get her in day care?" Lara asked
"Never" Jordan quickly spoke as he hugged Sadie tightly
"Next week, we have a an orientation in two days" Heidi said smiling
"See, you'll be like that now, but when it comes to leaving her you'll be a mess" Dean simply said, stating the truth
"Awh, were you like that with me Dean?" Chase asked putting a sulking face on
"No Chase. I threw a party, we both threw a party" Dean said nodding at his other brother
"Harsh" Chase said crossing his arms
Heidi laughed "I'm more worried about the big fella more…I think the water works will come" she said gently patting his shoulder
"I will not cry…Will I Sadie?" He asked his daughter turning her to face him
"D…Da….Dddy..Daddy.." Sadie tried to pronounce…Eventually getting it in the end.
The whole team turned to face Sadie, all quiet. No one said one word
"Did she…?" Heidi asked nearly jumping out of her skin
"She did" Jordan said amazed and shocked
"Damn it." Chase said laughing
"You seriously thought she'd say Chase?" Heidi joked….
10:00pm The Gallagher's house
Chase was standing in front of the television holding onto Sadie's hands as he held her standing out. They were both dancing to the Hi-5 music on the screen. Lara stood in the kitchen watching with a massive grin on her face.
"Chase…Dinners up" Dean shouted as he shut the door behind him carrying a stack of pizza's.
Chase picked Sadie up and held her on one hip, while he went and picked up one of the boxes of the table and sat down on the lounge with Sadie in his arms. Lara came and sat next to him picking Sadie up and putting her into her lap.
(….)
Chase yawned as he took his final piece of pizza out of the box. "Tired mate?" Lachie asked
"Yeah.. a bit" Chase said yawning again
"Who's up for a game of poker?" Dean asked
"I am" Lachie and Lara said in sync as they ran over to the table where the cards and poker chips were sitting
"Nah. I'll look after Sadie" Chase said picking her up and lying him next to her
After half 'n' hour, Chase and Sadie became way to quiet for Dean's liking. "Chase?" Dean asked as he chucked poker chips into the centre of the table
Lara looked over to see Chase lying with Sadie snuggled into his chest sound asleep. "Awh guys. Check that out, that's so cute!"
"Never letting him live that one down" Lachie laughed
"The camera! Heidi wanted us to take some special moment photographs and well this is pretty darn cute" Lara said running to get the camera. She walked back over and pulled a blanket up and draped it over Chase and Sadie. She quickly took a few photos before returning to her game
Back at Heidi's and Jordan's apartments
"I love our little family Heidi" Jordan said as he kissed her
"I love it too" Heidi smiled before they both shut their eyes falling fast asleep….
