Ch4: Rumor Has It


The next day Finn was finally able to catch up with Moreno in front of the department. He had been ignoring her calls and she realized that he needed time to cool down and relax, that she had laid down a lot of information to handle. Finn just needed to know where his head was at.

"Carlos..." Finn said almost ashamed and giddy at the same time. She was so happy to see him turn around and actually look interested to talk to her.

"Hey..." he said not making eye contact with her. "I'm on desk duty for the week." he said referring to the manila folders in his hands. Finn realized that he was still angry and she knew he had every right to be, but it still hurt a little.

"I just wanted to talk to you." Finn said quietly.

"You don't get it Finn." Moreno said angry.

"What do you mean?" Finn asked surprised and offended.

"You don't realize what this is doing to me Finn. I love you. Now everyday, I have to think about is you and Stokes. and worry if I'm the father of that child. At of everyone you had to do it with him." Moreno said shaking his head wiping his face. "You have only been here for like six months and I thought... I thought wrong." Moreno mumbled while Finn remained stoic. "You're asking me to share this experience with a man that shouldn't be involved! Who do you want to be the father?" Moreno asked really hoping that Finn's answer would give him so peace of mind.

However she remained quiet not having the answer to his question. She could see both men being great fathers each being a great father in there own way. If it gave her any peace of mind was that she had two great possible canditates to choose from as selfish as that sounds.

"Yeah..." Moreno said leaving. Finn had just about ripped his heart out. Finn just watched as he walked away thinking about everything. She had turned this lab upside down in the short time she has been here and the team didn't even know that she was pregnant. She was going to throw another monkey wrench into the whole team with this. She felt like that has been all she is doing lately just messing up everything when it starts to work smoothly. Finn started to think that maybe her time in Vegas and doing this was over.

Finn goes into the break room where rest of the team is as they all waited for assignments to be handed out. Nick had his attention in the file he was reading. Finn studied his face; it looked like he hadn't slept any. Finn moved to the only empty chair which was next to Nick. Nick moved slightly away from her and the action didn't go unnoticed by anyone especially by Finn.

Greg and Sara traded glances. Everyone knew about their week in San Francisco but it was just rumors neither Finn nor Nick either confirmed nor denied any of the rumors. Nick could feel Finn staring at him and it gave him goose bumps. Nick didn't know how to react. Sure Catherine gave him advice but no one asks for advice and follows it they ask for advice to hear their own opinion in a different voice. The only problem was Nick didn't know what he wanted to hear because he was clueless.

"Sorry, to keep you all waiting." DB said with a couple assignment slips in his hand, but he immediately sensed the tension. He scanned the room and no one made eye contact. "Morgan, trash run out at the Tangiers. Greg and Nick home invasion out in Henderson but hurry back so you can wrap up the quad. Sara, you are with me dead body in the desert. Finn, you got a robbed pawn shop on the strip." DB said handing the slips out. Finn chased after Nick as Nick and Greg were leaving.

"Nick! Nick…" Finn said grabbing Nick's arm.

"I'll get the car." Greg volunteered leaving Nick to talk with Finn, earning a heated glare from Nick.

"What's up?" Nick asked his face pretending he was interested but his voice showed his disinterest.

"I wanted to talk to you." Finn said sheepishly tucking her hair behind her ear. Nick pulled his arm away sticking his hands in his pockets. Nick just looked at Finn waiting for her to say something.

"So?" Nick asked.

"Why are you being so weird?" Finn asked, Nick immediately grew frustrated with Finn.

"I'm not being weird…" Nick growled looking at Finn.

"What is going on with you?" Finn asked getting angry with Nick's stubbornness.

"I don't have time for this." Nick said walking past her but Finn grabbed him and pulled him back.

"You don't have time for this?!" Finn said angry, for a brief moment Nick thought that she was going to slap him but she didn't.

"Are you trying to get us both fired?!" Nick said in a harsh whisper. Nick just wanted Finn to leave him alone. He didn't want to talk about this here or now or ever… or at least nine months.

"You can't just leave me high and dry, Nick? You told me, you wanted me to keep you updated. You are giving me all these mixed messages. You have been so distant. First you tell me to keep you updated and then you move away from in the break room. I don't understand you. You say one thing and do another. Actions speak louder than words." Finn said jabbing her finger in his chest. Nick just clinched his jaw shut and rolled his eyes. Finn felt her anger pumping through her veins. To see a man that once promised to protect her now treat her like a used whore, broke her heart. "Oh god. You make me so freaking anger, Nick. I don't understand why you are acting like this. I hope this kid isn't yours because obviously you are not the man I thought you were. I feel like I lost my best friend. What happened to you?" Finn said feeling emotional but watching Nick just get angrier.

"You don't know me." Nick said in a harsh whisper, in a tone that she had never heard before and not in one she liked.

"What is going on with you?" Finn asked practically begging. Nick was obviously going through something mentally, Finn thought.

"Are you done? I have to go." Nick asked looking away. He couldn't make eye contact with her. He didn't know what to do so naturally he just acted like an ass. Finn's face drops as a tear does escape and goes down her cheek.

"Yeah. I didn't mean to keep you." Finn said upset trying to keep it together so that Nick didn't see her breakdown. She didn't want to give him that satisfaction. Nick tilted his head down slightly and walked past her.

Finn felt her lip and chin quiver as she watched him walk away. Finn ran to the bathroom luckily no one was inside. She couldn't help herself as she cried. Did she make men turn sour? She wondered. She had two men great in their own ways but at the moment they were both mad at her.


Nick wanted Finn to forget all about Patrick and yesterday. He didn't want her to think back and remember Dan and his death, as a terrible time. He wanted her to know that not all men were bad and he wanted to protect her from Patrick, to ease her anxiety. It seemed to be working too. Finn was having a great time. She was smiling and bobbing her head to the music even though she understood none of it. Finn wasn't thinking of Patrick and his evils and she wasn't thinking about Moreno either. However she was drowning in temptation and it seemed to get worst every time Nick leaned over to whisper the translated lyrics in her ear.

"Come on, Finn." Nick said smiling standing up.

"I'm not dancing." Finn said smiling.

"Yes you are, come on." Nick said taking her hand again. "Just move your hips to the beat." Nick said over the loud music.

At first they were dancing innocently just following the crowd's speed. But Nick and Finn hit a speed bump and found themselves a lot closer together. They were touching each other in ways not called for by the dance. Once they realized what they were doing they immediately separated. They went to the elevator trying to escape the pull of the music and dance floor.

However once the elevator doors shut they found themselves feeling the pull to each other more than ever. Nick moved closer to Finn so that her back was towards the corner of the elevator. Nick put his hand on Finn's as she bit her lip. She grabbed Nick's face and planted a hot kiss on him. They started kissing and touching each other like a pair of raunchy teenagers. The elevator opened and Finn took Nick's hand and brought him to their room.

Once in the room Nick turned Finn so that she was facing him. His one hand on her waist the other on her face bringing her face to his as he kissed her gently. She put her arms on his shoulders letting her one hand lightly touch the back of his head. He led her to the bed as they kissed. He eased her on the bed the best he could with his bum leg. But once on top he realized that he couldn't support his weight the way he needed. Finn realized this and flipped over so that she was on top. Nick stuck his hands under her shirt pulling it off. They look at each other with lust and something else burning in their eyes. Finn looked at Nick as he was just mesmerized by her, Finn couldn't help but bite her lip. Nick pulled her down as he kissed her again this time with more passion.


Finn shook her head as she realized at what a mistake she did. This was her fault no matter how much she wanted to blame everyone else. No one forced her to sleep with Nick she did it because she wanted to. As soon as she got back from San Francisco she and Moreno got back together. She felt dirty. She felt used. Why couldn't she see this coming? She composes herself and leaves the bathroom only to be surprised by DB waiting for her.

"Is everything alright?" DB asked quietly Finn felt her emotions come back and she didn't want to cry again.

"Can I talk to you in your office?" Finn asked quietly picking at her nails. DB walked to his office as Finn followed. He shut the door and sat next to her on his couch.

"What's up?" DB asked crossing his legs. She always felt like a child who had done wrong every time she was in his office.

"I'm pregnant." Finn said disappointed. DB doesn't say anything just nods. He knew something was up he didn't think it was that big but apparently it was.

"Does that have anything to do with Nick and Moreno slugging away at each other in the parking garage?" DB asked, Finn scratched the back of her head.

"Yeah, kinda." Finn said ashamed.

"Who is the father?" DB asked suddenly understanding what Finn was trying to tell him.

"Either Nick or Moreno. I feel like such a whore." Finn said covering her face embarrassed. "Moreno and I broke up and I was feeling lonely and Nick was there. I didn't mean for it to happen and now they both are mad. Moreno thinks he can't trust me and Nick… I don't know that is going on with him." Finn rambled.

"You realize now that I have to tell Ecklie? You and Nick are not going to be able to work any of the same cases. One of you may have to get a shift change if Ecklie sees that you can't work professionally together. So no more fighting in the hallway. You, Moreno, and Nick will be under watchful eye." DB warned.

"Okay, maybe then you can figure out what is going on with Nick?" Finn said trying to lighten the mood but mainly showing her anxiety.


What's going on with Nick? Drama is going to start in the next couple chapters in the only way Nick and Finn know how to do it. Boy or Girl? Nick or Moreno? Will they have to change shifts? If then, who? Please Review!
