chapter 5
back at the precinct...
the guys were working and george was talking to fin saying that brook was fine and all that stuff. it was working until rollins and olivia walked back in with brooklyn behind them. "hey brook you alright? did you have fun? what did you guys do?" he said totally overwhelming her still half asleep brain.
"hey fin relax we had tons of fun, but she just woke up from a nap and is still trying to get up" olivia said stepping in.
"oh ok" he said.
"livia?" brook asked yawning.
"yeah?"
"can i go back to sleep?" she asked looking a little green, but before she could get an answer she had her hand over her mouth and a trash bin in front of her.
"what the hell!" fin yelled.
"hey relax" I said pulling him away from the girls and over to where munch and amaro stood. "she is probably just sick or something"
"hey brook I think its time to tell fin whats wrong."
"alright" I said standing up and walking over to him. "Come here"
"why?"
"because I said so"
"what ever you have to say can be said here"
"Fine" I snapped "I am pregnant..."
"wait what?" he said whereas everyone was just staring well besides george and rollins and oliva.
"I am pregnant"
"Whos the father?"
"marcus" i whispered backing up a little bit.
"What!" he screamed and flipped out he kicked at a desk and punched the wall. i just kept moving away from him.
fin freaked after brook told him what was wrong with her and she was freaked out by him doing this. i wasnt sure if i should help her or help him. until i saw that brook was hyperventilating. "put him in an interigation room and lock the door." i told munch amaro and whoever else was listening. "brook?" i said walking over to her carefully. "i want you to listen to me ok?" i asked. "breath in through your nose and out through your mouth slowly ok?" i said. then looked to olivia "grab my bag will you"
brook still wasnt calm and breathing wasnt really helping. "do you guys have a paper bag around here at all?" i asked rollins while i checked brooks pulse.
"i can find one if you want me to"
"please" i said and went back to brook who wasnt calming down at all just getting more freaked out. "hey hey relax do you have an inhaler or anything?" she nodded and pointed to her bag. "where?" i said pulling it close to her, she pointed to the small front pocket. I opened it and found a small army of flashdrives and an inhaler. "alright" i said getting it ready for her. "here" i said and she snatched it from my hand and took it.
"found one" rollins said running back over "oh well we could do it the easy way then" she said frowning.
"hey she could stil need it so calm your horses" olivia said as i went through my bag and found an anti-anxiety med.
"here brook i want you to take this for me. itll calm you down"
"ok" she said her voice slightly hoarse. Once she had taken it I helped her to a chair and watched her curl up in it.
Fin was pissed. "Fin! Relax!" I yelled as he just took out all his anger on the wall infront of him.
"Elliot I got it" Cragen said and I backed off. "Detective Odafin Tutuolla!" he yelled and Fin stood staring at him. "Sit" he commanded and Fin followed what he was saying "Now calm down" he said and Fin nodded.
"Fin" Olivia said walking into the room quietly.
"How did you find out?" he asked and she glanced at Cragen with a questioning look.
"I can't tell you that right now. If she wants to tell you the whole story she will" she said before turning back around and walking back to the squad room.
"Brook your uncle wants to know the whole story" I whispered to her as she was typing. George watched the exchange, but walked away when he realized that I wasn't going to cause her to freak out again. She was typing on her computer and I just waited for her to respond. The answer I got was her handing me a flash drive. "Whats this?"
"The whole story" she whispered to me. "I took all of the files and made them one with dates and its the only file on that drive"
"Ok can I show it to your uncle?" I asked her.
"Yes" she whispered then went back to her computer. I nodded and stood up heading towards my desk and pulled out a laptop that I had borrowed from TARU a few cases back. I loaded up the file and walked back to Fin.
