Gillian still couldn't believe that Alec Foster, her ex-husband, was the other drug dealer. Sure he had his cocaine addiction throughout their marriage, but Gillian never thought he'd resort to selling drugs. The trio stood silent for several minutes before Cal finally spoke, "So, cocaine smuggling?"
Alec looked down and said, "I was desperate and Jimmy said he'd only give me the drugs if I helped him sell them."
"Where is Jimmy right now?" asked Cal completely taking over the interrogation. He knew Gillian would never be able to see through Alec given their history.
"He's not here," said Alec though his face read differently.
"So he is here somewhere. Where is he?" asked Cal. Alec didn't answer, "If you don't tell me Alec I'll go looking for him myself."
"Fourth floor," said Alec.
"Thank you. Stay here, I'm not finished with you," said Cal leaving the office with Gillian following behind him.
"God I can't believe this," said Gillian.
"Everything's alright love," said Cal, "No different than normal."
Gillian stopped him and faced him, "It's way different than normal. I just faced my ex-husband who now knows I'm married to you and pregnant with your child."
"Love, do you want me to handle it?" asked Cal taking her hands in his.
"It would be nice yes," admitted Gillian looking down, "Even if he did find out I didn't want it to be this way."
"Okay," Cal nodded. After attempting to find Jimmy, who was not on the fourth floor, Cal returned to where Alec was while Gillian waited for him in the lobby outside the office.
When Cal arrived, Alec shook his head at him, "I should've known you were the reason."
Cal narrowed his eyes at Alec, "Excuse me?"
"I should've known you were the reason Gillian divorced me," said Alec, "I mean there was always something between you two. I can't believe I didn't think anything of it. I should've known she was going to follow suit when you divorced Zoe."
"Oh yeah, the fact that you're a cocaine addict, work all the time, and are a complete arse didn't have anything to do with the fact that Gillian divorced you. It's my bloody fault," said Cal sarcastically, "And just to let you know, Gill and I didn't even start dating until over a year since you two split." Cal wasn't going to let anybody talk about Gillian like that, even if it was someone who knew her well.
Alec shook his head, "So when was the wedding?"
"None of your bloody business," said Cal.
"And how did you do it?" asked Alec. Cal raised his eyebrows, "How did you get her pregnant?"
"Well Alec, when a man and a woman love each other…"
"Thank you, I know that. I mean, Gill and I tried for years. How could you possibly…" asked Alec.
Cal stepped in front of Alec and said, "Clearly, the right person to be the father of Gillian's child is the one that deserved to make her a mother. Now about this cocaine smuggling where is Jimmy? Because he wasn't on the fourth floor."
"Well I didn't lie to you. I just texted him and told him you were on your way up," said Alec.
Suddenly Cal got a text. He didn't dare tell Alec who it was from. It said, "They found Jimmy trying to sneak out the back door. He admitted to drug smuggling with Alec. The police are on their way up."
"Who's it from? From Gillian Danielle Lightman?" mocked Alec.
The police came in the office at that moment, "Alec Foster, you're under arrest for drug smuggling. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be held against you."
The police handcuffed Alec and led him out of the room, "Have a nice life with my ex," he said.
Cal rolled his eyes once Alec was out of the room. At least Zoe was a little more understanding when it came to their divorce and his love life. Gillian came up into the office, "You okay love?"
"Yeah, just didn't think Alec was that childish," she said, "I just want to go home now." She looked like she was about ready to break down any minute.
"Come on Gill. I'll take you home," said Cal. Gillian nodded and followed her husband to the car. Cal dropped Gillian off at their house and asked, "Do you need me to stay love? I can call Loker and Torres and tell them to shut down for the day."
Gillian took a deep breath and nodded, "Please stay?"
Cal nodded, "Okay, I'll be inside in a minute." Gillian unlocked the door and heaved a sigh as she sat down on the couch. Thankfully, Emily was with Zoe that evening so she didn't have to worry about her being there. Cal entered a few minutes later to find Gillian watching the news, which had the arrest of Jimmy and Alec as the top story, "Love why don't we turn that off for a while," said Cal turning off the TV and sitting down on the couch next to Gillian.
Gillian looked down and rubbed her swollen stomach tenderly. Even though she was nearly sixteen weeks along, she still couldn't believe she was going to become a mother. The way Alec had talked to Cal about them, about their child, made it sound like it was a crime. But he was right. Why did she deserve to become a mother? How had she defied the odds with Cal? Gillian grabbed Cal's hand before saying, "Today was just too much. The way Alec talked about us. About our baby," said Gillian.
"Gill, you can't let him get to you," said Cal.
"It was like I hurt him so he's out to hurt me even worse," said Gillian as she started to cry, "Like it's wrong that I'm happy, which is something I never was with him. Like he's pissed that you're the father of my child and not him. Well guess what? When Sophie was taken away, he just retreated back to cocaine, like his answer to everything is!" Gillian sobbed, "As if I don't have enough anxiety on top of everything else I had to run into him of all the cocaine dealers in the world!"
"Whoa love, what do you mean anxiety?" asked Cal rubbing her back soothingly.
Gillian shook her head, "What if something is wrong? What if the baby isn't healthy somehow? What if this one's taken away from me just like Sophie was?" she rambled and then another thought hit her, "What if this baby's a girl? I, I don't know if I can handle that."
Cal continued to rub Gillian's back and listen to her vent. It wasn't really Alec that was causing her trouble; he was just the straw that broke the camel's back, the flood of emotions that had been building up inside of her, "Would it help if we found out the gender before Munchkin's born? Just so if it is a girl you have some time to get used to the idea?"
Gillian shook her head, "No I don't want to know right now. I just… I just want to be alone," said Gillian and kissed Cal, "Goodnight Cal. I'll see you when you come to bed."
"I love you Gill," said Cal. Gillian nodded, meaning 'I love you too' and disappeared upstairs for the night.
