THE KIDNAPPING

CHAPTER 12

DISCLAIMER: Yeah, you know this already. Ghostwriter, Law and Order:
SVU and characters do not belong to me.

Summary: The trial has arrived and so has the birth. Will it be happy? What will happen?

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I didn't write much about the trial, because I can't remember what happens in a trial and I didn't want to mess it up. So I'm

sorry about that. Please don't hate it.

ALEX'S ROOM

"That was one of the things I was worried about. Tearing your family apart, I mean." Rob said. "Are you all right?" Alex asked. "Yeah, I think I'm

going to go talk to, Gaby." Rob said getting up.

GABY'S ROOM

Rob walked to Gaby's room. He was about to knock, when he noticed Gaby sitting on her bed crying.

"Gaby?" Rob asked. "Go away." Gaby replied. "What's wrong?" Rob asked closing the door. "Nothing." Gaby told him."Then why are

you crying?" Rob asked. "I had a nightmare that I lost the baby. What do you want anyway?" Gaby asked. "I'm sorry about earlier." Rob

told her. "About earlier?" Gaby asked confused. "What I said about not accepting the baby." Rob replied. "So, what are you saying now?"

Gaby asked."I will accept you and your baby." Rob told her. "Thanks, Rob. Is Alex still against us getting married?" Gaby asked. "I was

just talking to Alex about that. He is no longer against us getting married." Rob told her. "Really?" Gaby asked hopefully. "Yeah, really."
Rob said as he gave her a gentle kiss.

Gaby returned the kiss with a passion. Rob and Gaby began to make out and slowly laid down.

"I love you." Rob said against Gaby's lips. "I love you to." Gaby replied as his hands slid under her shirt.

Gaby gasped, shivered and pulled away.

"Are you all right?" Rob asked seeing tears in Gaby's eyes. "No, Rob, I don't think I can do this." Gaby said sitting up. "Gaby what's

wrong?" Rob asked. "T...the rape." was all Gaby could say before she broke down. "Gaby, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to rush you." Rob

said wrapping his arms around her.

Gaby stiffened and then relaxed.

A few weeks later the trial arrived. Gaby nervously took the stand and told everything that had happened. The perp was sentenced to

life in prison for kidnapping, rape and attempted murder. Elliot and Olivia walked Alex, Tina, Lenni, Casey, Hector, Jamal, Rob, Gaby,

Mrs. Fernandez out of the courtroom.

"T...ahhhh." Gaby said grabbing her stomach area in pain. "Gaby!" Alex and Rob said rushing to either side of her.

Elliot called for a bus and Gaby was rushed to the hospital, but it was to late she had lost the baby. Rob tried to comfort her, but like

in her dream Gaby pushed him away and began to sob for the baby she had lost.

"Gaby, please don't push me away." Rob begged her. "I can't believe the baby is...gone." Gaby sobbed. "I know." Rob said sitting in

the chair beside her bed.

There was a knock at the door and the rest of the team entered. Alex, Tina, Hector on one side and Jamal, Lenni and Casey on the other.

"Gaby, are you okay?" Alex asked. "No, why is this happening to me?" Gaby asked. "I don't know, Gaby." Alex replied.

Feeling akward and not knowing what to say to Gaby, everyone but Rob and Alex left.

"It will be okay." Alex told Gaby as Mr. and Mrs. Fernandez entered the room. "How do you know?" Gaby asked. "Because things usaully

turn out all right." Alex replied. "How do you get over the loss of a baby?" Gaby asked. "It's hard, but in time it dosen't hurt as much." It

was Mrs. Fernandez who had spoken. "How do you know, mama?" Gaby asked.
