Chapter 11: Guilty Bumps

"Morgan!" Brass exclaimed in utter shock as he rushed to her side. Morgan sat up again with a grunt of pain and clutched her stomach. "Get him the hell out of here!" Brass yelled to the officer who was restraining Kyle "And then find Sanders!"

"No" Morgan said with a heavy breath "No, I don't want to worry him. I'm fine, honestly"

"Morgan, you should go to the hospital, you need to check on the baby after taking a fall like that" Brass said concernedly as he helped the younger woman to her feet. The police captain found his hard exterior crumbling a little as his concern for the pregnant woman and the baby took over.

"Thank you for the concern, but I really don't think that's…" Morgan started, but then let out a gasp of pain and clutched at her side.

Brass looked around for help, not sure what to do, when he spotted Sara walking by. "Sara!" he yelled. The brunette CSI stopped and gave him a curious look through the glass door before entering the room.

"Brass, what's going on?"

"Some asshole has just kicked Morgan and she fell over" the detective explained.

"Oh my God! Are you okay?" Sara asked, immediately rushing to Morgan's side and placing a comforting arm around her shoulders.

"No, she's not" Brass answered before Morgan could protest "I think the baby took a bit of a knock…"

"Guys, I'm right here you know!" Morgan said "Ow..." she hissed when another wave of pain hit.

"I'm taking you to the hospital" Sara said firmly, beginning to lead Morgan from the room "Is someone calling Greg?" she asked Brass.

"Yeah"

"Well then get Ecklie too" Sara instructed.

"Got it" Brass replied, and he watched helplessly as the women left the room. He felt so guilty. Why hadn't he stopped Davies in time?


"Just breathe, Morgan, everything's going to be fine, I promise" Sara said as she guided the younger woman towards her car.

Morgan winced with pain again "How can you know that, Sara? What if I'm losing the baby?" she asked, her voice breaking as tears began to stream down her face.

"Hey, you can't think like that" Sara said, giving Morgan's shoulder a squeeze "This is yours and Greg's baby we're talking about, they'll be a stubborn little fighter"

"Oh God, oh God, if anything's wrong Greg's going to hate me" Morgan sobbed "I might have killed his baby" she was too distraught to take Sara's words into consideration.

"Morgan, you need to relax" Sara said firmly, knowing that the added stress was not helping the expecting mother or the baby "Just stay calm and like I said, everything will be okay, I promise"


Greg was with Nick at the crime scene Russell had sent them to. He was halfway through photographing the body when his cell phone started ringing.

"Sanders?" A hurried voice asked.

"Yeah" Greg answered; he recognised the voice to be officer Ackers "What's up?"

"It's Morgan" Greg's heart immediately sank "She was interviewing a suspect and he attacked her…he kicked her side and it knocked her to the floor…there's a chance the baby's been hurt. I think Sara is taking her to the hospital now, Desert Palms"

Greg's eyes widened in fear and his camera dropped from his shaking hands. Nick looked up at the loud shattering noise and gave his friend a questioning look, before turning it into a frown of concern as he saw how pale Greg had become and how much he was shaking.

"Greg?" the older CSI asked approaching his friend "Greggo, what is it?" he placed a hand on Greg's shoulder.

"We have to get to the hospital" Greg whispered "We have to go the hospital now!" he exclaimed, and sprang to his feet, running for the cars.

"Greg!" Nick called, running after him "G, what the hell is going on!?"

Greg stopped by the car door and turned to face Nick running a shaky hand through his hair. Tears were streaming down his pale face as he breathed heavily and tried to fight back thick sobs.

"Greggo, come on man, you're scaring me" Nick said in a low tone.

Greg exhaled tremblingly "A s-suspect attacked M-Morgan, Sara's taking her to the h-hospital. The baby might be h-hurt" he clasped a hand over his mouth "Oh God, Nick I can't lose my wife or my baby" he began to sob loudly and Nick pulled him into a tight hug.

"Ssh, they'll be alright, they'll be alright I know they will" he said, rubbing the younger man's back soothingly. "You're not going to lose them, Greg. C'mon, I'll take you to the hospital, I can't let you drive like this"

Greg nodded and took some deep breaths as he tried to get himself back under control, before both CSIs climbed into the car. Nick immediately put his foot down and began to speed towards the hospital, not caring to even take a look at the speed limits. He was feeling incredibly worried for Morgan and the baby, but he also felt extremely guilty; he was the one who was supposed to interview the suspect after all.


When they arrived at the hospital, Nick had barely turned off the engine before Greg had jumped out of the car. The Texan had to run to catch up with the younger man and arrived at the reception desk to find Greg demanding to know where Morgan was. A nurse pointed them in a direction, and Greg went shooting off once more.

Nick followed, and watched as Greg skidded to a halt outside of a room. Greg froze for a moment, terrified at what he might find. Nick came up behind him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"It'll be fine, I'll be right outside if you need me"

"Thanks" Greg said with a weak smile, before opening the door.

"Greg" Morgan breathed as she saw her husband open the door.

She'd been so scared the past few minutes, no one would tell her what was going on or if anything was wrong with the baby. They'd just taken Morgan to do a few tests and then taken her to the room to rest, not telling her anything else. But she was worrying about her baby.

"Oh, baby" Greg whispered as he rushed forward and pulled Morgan into a tight hug, being careful of her stomach area.

Sara had been sat with Morgan the whole time, scared for her young friends and their unborn child. She felt like nothing she could say or do would make Morgan feel any better about the situation, so she was glad when Greg arrived, because she knew he would take care of his wife and baby forever.

"I'll leave you guys alone" Sara excused herself, and went to find Nick outside.

"What's going on? Have they said anything about Bump?" Greg asked with panic evident in his voice.

"No" Morgan sniffed, but then she started crying again "Oh God Greg, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry I hurt our baby"

"No, don't you dare think that, this isn't your fault" Greg said firmly "It was that bastard suspects fault, and when I get my hands on him, I'm gunna…"

"It was Kyle" Morgan whispered. She noticed how Greg's arms grew tense "They'd picked him up for armed robbery…I-I thought he was out of my life f-for good, and now this…"

Greg's eyes narrowed in ager as he thought of the man who had brought his wife and baby fear and pain. He was going to wring the bastard's neck and string him up by his ankles.

"Just try to relax now, baby" Greg said knowing he had to appear calm for Morgan's sake. "Everything will be okay. Are you still in pain?"

"Not as much now" Morgan said, it was a little bit of good news. "I just had this stabbing pain in my side for a while, but now it's just sharp twinges every now and again. I just hope it hasn't sent me into early labour or something, the baby will never survive" a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Hey, you can't think like that" Greg said wiping away the tear with his thumb and looking into Morgan's eyes. Both of them could see just how scared their partner was.

"I don't know what I'd do if I lost your baby, Greg" Morgan whispered.

"You won't" Greg said "You won't honey, I promise" he pulled her head forward slightly and kissed her on the forehand.

Moments later, and the doctor arrived. Morgan immediately gripped Greg's hand, feeling guiltier as she noticed for the first time just how bad he was shaking. She didn't think she'd ever seen him so upset.

"Is the baby okay?" Greg immediately asked.

"Yes, the baby is fine" Doctor Green said with a smile. Morgan let out a cry of relief and Greg hugged her tightly.

"Oh thank god" he breathed.

"The pain you were suffering from Mrs Sanders was a bruised rib which the little one seemed to be kicking against, and it's possible the stress caused a small spike in your blood pressure" Doctor Green explained "but not to worry, your baby is perfectly protected in there. They must just have been startled into movement"

"Thank you" Morgan said, this time with tears of joy in her eyes "Thank you, that's such good news"

"You're welcome" Doctor Green smiled "I have some painkillers I can prescribe you which will be safe to take. Your rib should be healed up in about three weeks or so, and you just need to have plenty of rest. We would like to keep you in the night though, just to make sure you get some rest, but you're free to leave in the morning"

"Thank you, Doctor Green" Greg said, and the doctor left. Greg smiled at Morgan and gently placed a strand of her hair behind her ear, so he could see into her beautiful crystal eyes "See, I told you it would be alright"

"I knew it had to be, Sara promised me" Morgan said quietly. She placed a hand on her stomach "Don't you dare scare mommy and daddy like that again, you hear?" she spoke to the baby.

Greg placed his hand on top of Morgan's. "You should get some rest, baby. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere tonight. I'll be right here, watching over you two"

"Honey, you should go home, you look exhausted too" Morgan said worriedly, but Greg just smiled and placed a finger on her lips.

"I'm not going anywhere, and that's final" he said firmly.

"Mmm yes sir" Morgan said with a wink, before leaning back into the pillows and letting out a tired sigh.

Her eyes more or less instantly closed, and Greg leaned forward and kissed her delicately on the forehead, and kissed the baby bump too. He's never been so relieved in his life. His wife and baby were going to be okay, but Greg wasn't willing to let either of them out of his sight again for a long time. He vowed to protect them, and felt it was his fault in the first place for not being there, he could never forgive himself for that.

Greg wouldn't let himself be too happy just yet, because past experience had taught him that happiness just lead to a certain downfall. As he held onto his sleeping wife's hand, he began to cry quietly from the fear of it all.
