AN: I guess the rating for this chapter is T.

At 10 weeks pregnant, Jessica wasn't showing yet and she wasn't sure if that was a good or a bad thing when three masked men burst through the doors to the bank with guns and fired at the roof. They ordered everyone down on the floor on their stomachs. Jessica tried to remain calm; she didn't want to lose the baby because of the stress. She had just come to the bank to open an account for the baby, where she and Horatio could put money every month for college or for when their child needed a good start by the time her or she moved away from home.

"Everyone keep your mouths shut or we'll shoot!" One of the robbers ordered.

They grabbed a desk clerk and forced him to the vault to open it. When he nervously said he didn't have the clearance to open the vault, they knocked him down and then shot at the door.

Some people screamed as they fired. Jessica tried to remember what kind of clothes they were wearing and what shoes they had on. She remembered how Horatio had told her it was important to know as much as possible about suspects, even if it seemed like some small and unimportant, it could be a big break in the case.

Black leather boots, black beetle boots and white sneakers. She thought.

"Please let me go home!" A woman cried.

The man with the black leathers boots, who was obviously the leader, told her to be quiet or he'd put a bullet in her head.

"Cops are coming." The sneakers guy said.

Jessica sighed in relief. She hoped that Horatio or someone in his team would be outside the bank.

"Shit." The leather man cursed and then grabbed another desk clerk.

This one was a woman and she was ordered to call the bank manager. When she called the number and an old man's cell phone rang, the leather man smirked evilly. He pushed the woman down on the floor and grabbed the bank manager's shirt.

"Open the vault." He growled.

"I… I, I"

The leather man hit him in the face with the gun and dragged him towards the vault. Jessica was taking deep breaths to calm herself down, but it was hard. Never in a million years had she thought she would become the victim of a bank robbery.

The bank manager was bleeding from a broken nose as he opened the vault. The leather man and the sneakers guy went in and emptied the boxes. The beetle boots guy waited outside.

"There's no money in here!" The sneakers guy growled.

"We can sell the watches and rings." The leather man said.

They stepped outside the vault and glanced at the police outside. One of the officers were telling them to put the guns down and come out with their hands above their heads.

"Is he stupid? We're not coming out." The sneakers guy chuckled, "Not without protection."

"What about escaping through the roof?" The beetle boots man suggested.

"And then what? Then we're stuck up there." The leather man growled.

Jessica glanced towards the police and prayed that Horatio was there. The three bank robbers went behind the cash desks and started looking for cash. They didn't find much and just to show how angry they were, they fired at the roof again. Everyone in the hostage were hoping that this would soon be over. They couldn't be more wrong.

-I-

Since CSIs usually weren't called to hostage situations, Horatio had no idea that the bank Jessica was in had been robbed and that she was held hostage. He was talking with Ryan about some trace found in their latest case.

"You guys hear about the robbery?" Walter asked from the doorway.

"Robbery?" Ryan asked.

"Yeah, some bank in Miami was robbed thirty minutes ago. The police are outside since the three robbers are still in the bank." Walter said, "It's amazing what people will do for money."

"Well, they'll have to give up eventually." Ryan said.

"It's all over the news." Walter said.

Horatio got a bad feeling in his gut and went to the break room. Walter glanced confused at Ryan and then they followed their boss. Ryan had worked with Horatio long enough to know that his boss and friend always knew when something was wrong.

Horatio's eyes widened as he watched Erica Sykes report about the ongoing bank robbery downtown. He recognized the bank and realized that Jessica was one of the hostages.

"Jessica is there." He said, "Unless she is still home."

Horatio called the house, if Jessica was among the hostages he didn't want to risk her life by calling her cell phone.

"Shit! Frank is there, call him and ask if he can see Jessica with binoculars." Ryan said to Walter.

As Walter called Frank, Horatio grew more and more nervous. Jessica wasn't answering at home and it only took twenty minutes to drive to the bank. He had no doubt in his mind that she was held hostage.

"I have to get over there." Horatio said and went to the garage.

Walter and Ryan followed and Walter talked to Frank on the phone.

"Frank, says he can't see Jessica." Walter said, "However, it seems as if the entire hostage is hiding behind desks and plants."

Horatio, Ryan and Walter drove to the bank and Horatio walked straight to Frank when he arrived at the scene.

"I can't see her. I see some hands and feet sticking out here and there, but no faces." Frank sighed, "It doesn't seem as if these guys are going to give up either."

"Where is SWAT?" Horatio asked.

"On the way." Frank said, "They'll get in the roof way."

Horatio nodded and ran a hand through his hair. He feared to lose both Jessica and they baby. With the kind of stress a trauma like being held hostage could cause, she could easily have a miscarriage.

"Jessica will be fine. She knows that has to try and stay calm." Frank said and patted Horatio's shoulder.

"Well, knowing it and actually doing it in a situation like this is not the same thing." Horatio sighed, "I have to call her parents and brother."

-I-

After three hours, SWAT was on the roof and Frank was on the phone with the leather man, giving him ten minutes to give up or they would come in. The robbers didn't seem to have noticed that SWAT had arrived.

"We're not giving up!" The leather man yelled and hung up the phone.

Jessica didn't know Frank was on the other end of course and she didn't know SWAT was on the roof either. She was hiding behind a plant.

"How do we get out?" The beetle boots guy asked.

"We take these people on the floor as a shield." The leather man said.

Jessica's eyes widened as the man grabbed her and held her in front of him. The sneakers guy grabbed another woman and the beetle boots guy grabbed a young man. Jessica started walking towards the door when she felt a gun press against her back. She opened the door and looked around to see if she recognized anyone. She saw Ryan and Horatio.

"Let them go and this will all end happy." Frank said.

Jessica glanced at him and then she also saw Walter. She heared that the other woman was begging for the sneakers guy to let her go because she was pregnant.

"We want a car and a safe way out of here!" The leather man yelled.

"Not going to happen." Frank said.

Just then the beetle boots man raised his gun to shoot the young man in front of him. As he aimed at the head, SWAT took him out with a bullet to the back. The young man was too afraid to move, so he stayed where he was.

"That was a warning to you too, now let them go!" Frank growled.

"Please, I'm pregnant." The other woman cried.

The sneakers guy started to back away towards the bank again and soon the leather man followed.

"Take one more step and we'll shoot." Frank warned.

Jessica saw her chance and kicked the leather man where it hurts the most for a man. He groaned in pain and fell back. She ran towards the cops and just as the leather man was about to aim his gun at her, he was shot by SWAT in the back as well.

Jessica ran towards Horatio and jumped up in his arms. He kissed her hard and Jessica started crying. The sneakers guy let go of the pregnant woman and lay down on the ground. He was quickly arrested.

"I was so scared Horatio!" Jessica sobbed, "I could only think of you and the baby."

"Oh sweetheart, I'm sorry I didn't go with you." Horatio said and held her close, "You have to go to the hospital and get checked out."

Jessica nodded. She rode with Horatio to the hospital. She was quickly examined and while she gave her statement to Frank, Horatio went to the rest of the team out in the waiting area.

"How is she?" Alexx asked.

"Shock up. The baby is fine though." Horatio sighed, "She's giving Frank her statement right now."

"The young man was so shocked they had to give him something to calm down." Ryan said.

"And the other woman?" Horatio asked.

"Fine. She went home not long ago with her husband." Walter said.

"And the robbers?" Horatio asked.

"The first one who was shot died in the ER. The other is alive. And the third is in a holding cell." Jesse smiled, "We got them good. The other hostages have all given the same statement and well, we got surveillance cameras inside the bank and news reporters outside. Everything was caught on tape."

"Guess we'll be seeing Erica Sykes face on TV in no time." Natalia muttered.

"Maybe not. The tape in the camera went mysteriously missing." Walter grinned.

"You didn't?!" Calleigh gasped.

Walter took out a tape from his pocket and grinned. The team laughed. When Frank came back he smiled and said that Jessica was up for visitors. The team went to her room and she smiled as the women hugged her.

"How are you feeling sweetheart?" Alexx asked.

"Still shocked, but I'll be fine." Jessica smiled.

Horatio sat down on the edge of the bed and held her hand.

"Have you told Kyle?" Jesse asked.

"He's been in school having tests all day, we didn't want to interrupt him." Jessica said, "We'll pick him up from school and tell him then."

"So the doctor said you could leave already?" Alexx asked.

Jessica blushed and shook her head. The doctor had wanted to keep her for a few hours, but Jessica had been stubborn and didn't want to stay. She wanted to go home and be with Horatio and Kyle. She wanted a home cooked meal and a little family time with games and fun.

"You're as bad as Horatio!" Calleigh laughed, "Always managing to talk your way out of staying in hospitals."

"Who can resist my blue eyes?" Jessica grinned.

The team laughed. It was the same thing Horatio said when he was injured and wanted to go home.

-I-

After reassuring Kyle, Henry and her parents that she was fine, Jessica sat down next to Horatio on the couch as he watched Extreme Makeover.

"Nothing else on TV?" She asked.

Horatio usually didn't watch that type of TV show.

"Not really." He smiled and kissed her cheek softly.

"So, what did your parents say on the phone?"

"They asked me over and over again if I was fine and that they want to come down here for the weekend. They haven't seen our home yet." Jessica said.

"Sounds like a good idea."

"My mom and dad will be all over me and watch my every step." Jessica chuckled.

"Well, they're probably just as shocked as you are about today." Horatio said, "I remember the horror when I realized you were in there."

"Well, no robbers are going to take me away from you." Jessica smiled and gave Horatio a kiss.

"Good." Horatio grinned.

"We still have to fix a bank account for the baby." Jessica said.

"Well, this time I'm going with you." Horatio smiled and gave her a soft kiss.
