Hey! I'm sorry for being quiet for about a week… I was busy with school and two exams to take. So I'm back now! Hope you'll like the chapter….or not. The chapter contains the episode of "Pay Up Part 1" so I have decided to do two parts of this chapter.

A week has passed ever since I found out that I'm pregnant, I haven't been able to tell Mac because he got too busy and that I didn't know how to tell Mac that he's going to be a daddy.

So this morning, I was getting ready for work and I decided to tell him about the baby, finally.

Mac was in my kitchen, drinking the coffee that I made for him when I arrived and sat down in front of him.

Mac is reading the newspaper about the guy that was caught in a murder.

"Mac? I need to talk to you." I said. Mac looks up and puts down the newspaper.

"Yes, Isabella?"

I sighed heavily. "Well, I don't know how to tell you in first place."

Mac takes my hand and smiled. "Well, spit it out." He says, kissing my palm.

"Okay, well, here we go. I---"

We were interrupted by Mac's cell phone ringing.

Mac lets go my hand and picks his phone. I became frustrated and disappointed. Just when I was about to tell him. Great.

Mac talked for few minutes and hanged up.

"Look, I'm sorry but there has been a murder in downtown. Can we talk later?"

I nodded and he kisses me goodbye and left.

"Damn it!" I swore quietly as I pour out his coffee into the sink.

I looked at my watch and realized that I have time to go downtown to get the decaf from the cafe.

I grabbed my purse and locked up the apartment.

I walked few blocks from my apartment and reached the cafe. When I walked into the cafe, I see Jessica Angell, Flack's girlfriend. We got to know each other and became good friends.

Jessica saw me and waved at me.

I waved back at her and walked to the counter, ordering my decaf coffee since its better and safe for the baby.

Jessica was talking to one of the guys and walked over to me.

"Hey Isabella, how are you?"

"Hey Jessica. I'm fine, you?"

"Oh, good. So what are you doing here?"

"Getting the best decaf here...at least I heard it was good. You?"

"Well, I'm watching that guy over there. You know Robert Dunbrook? That is his son and he's supposed to testify against his Father today at trial. I took him here because he wanted his breakfast" She scoffed as she watched him.

"Hmm... yeah. Oh, thank you." I said to the guy as he gave me my drink.

I begin to drink it when Jessica was looking at me.

"What?"

She smiled and giggles a little.

"You're pregnant, aren't you?"

Well, her response shocked me that I almost choked on my decaf.

"What? No, I'm not." I chuckle nervously.

"Yes, you are. You have the glow and you're drinking decaf. You used to drink coffee but now you're drinking decaf? That tells me that you're knocked up or you got sick of coffee, which is impossible since you drink coffee five times a day."

Ugh, she knows me so well.

"Fine, Jessica. Yes, I am pregnant. Happy now?"

She nodded.

"How far along are you?"

"Uhh... well I think I'm about two months now. Just don't say anything to Mac or the team... or Flack. Please?"

She puts her arm around my shoulder. "Don't you worry about that! I won't tell anyone until you tell Mac. I promise."

"Thanks, Jessica. I tried to tell Mac this morning but we were interrupted by Mac's stupid phone. So I'm supposed to tell him tonight... at least that's what Mac said."

"Oh... I think Mac will be very happy when he finds out about the baby."

Jessica's phone rings.

"Excuse me." She says, moving away from me and picked up the phone.

I heard Flack's name and smiled. Jessica started to talk about making plans for dinner tonight. I hope they get married because they are so cute together.

I looked at Jessica and she was smiling. I wondered what Flack said to her.

I heard a huge crash and I looked quickly. A huge car like a hummer came through the windows and I started to run toward to Jessica. The people were screaming as they were running to avoid the car.

She dropped her phone and turned around quickly to see what happened.

Jessica took out her gun and started to shoot at the men coming out of the car.

"Isabella, get down to the floor now!" she screamed.

I went down to the floor and covered my head.

I heard two shots from the men and looked up in time to see Jessica being shot at. It was like slow motion as she got shot in her collarbone and her stomach. I screamed her name as she went down.

The men took the son and got away, leaving the big car in the window. When they were gone, I crawled to Jessica quickly.

"Jessica, you're going to be okay!" I shouted as I took off my light jacket and pressed it on her stomach.

She just stared at me and nodded.

"Just don't speak... 911 are coming. You're going to be fine... you're going to be fine, Jessica." I whispered.

I heard the sirens in the distance. I began to pray for Jessica.

I checked her pulse and she is going into shock.

"Jessica, you're going into shock. Jessica, stay with me!" I pleaded.

I heard Flack yelling and see Flack running towards to the place.

"Flack! Come here!" I screamed.

"Hey, babe, Hey... Where is the Ambulance?!" Flack yelled at the police. Her blood is coming out fast.

"Flack, Jessica is losing blood fast. We need to take her to the hospital now!" I put more pressure to try to stop the blood.

"You're going to be alright..." Flack says to Jessica and looked at me.

"Flack, we need to go now!" I grunted, tearing off piece of shirt to replace my jacket and put it on there.

Flack grabs her arm, putting her arm around his neck and picked her up.

"Help me!" Flack yelled out as he carried her. I ran with him and we got into the police car. Flack has her on his lap in the back and I sat in the front with the cop, who is driving the car.

"Hang in there, Jess... stay with me." He says, putting pressure with his hand on her wound.

We got to the hospital and I literally jumped out of the moving car before we stopped and ran into the lobby, shouting for help.

Flack carried her in and the doctors immediately took her and put her on the gurney. We ran together with her to the emergency room when the nurse stopped us and told us that we couldn't go in here due to the hospital policy.

Flack just stood there and he looked like he didn't know what to do.

I took Flack's arm and took him to the waiting room.

I told him to sit there and went to get some coffee for Flack. I gave the coffee to Flack but he didn't drink it and left the coffee alone on the table.

"Excuse me?" I said to one of the nurses at the desk.

"Yes?"

"Do you happen to have extra shirt or something? So I could change my shirt."

The nurse looked at my shirt and nodded. "Yes, I do." She grabs the blue shirt and gave it to me.

I took the shirt and thanked her. I walked to the bathroom and took off my torn, blood-stained shirt and put on the new shirt. I walked out of the bathroom and threw away the shirt into the trash.

I saw the payphone and remembered about my students missing a teacher.

I went to the payphone and called the school, letting them know about what is going on and they needed to find a sub for me today. I apologized to the worried principal and told her that I'm alright.

When I was done with the payphone, I walked back to the waiting room and he is packing back and forth.

I sat down and watched him pacing.

"Flack, you need to sit down. Please."

Flack sighed heavily and stopped pacing. Finally, he sat down next to me.

I put my hand on his shoulder and squeezed.

"Flack... she'll be alright... she has to be okay."

He looked at me. "Jess will be okay. I know that..."

"You know what? I'll be right back." I said, standing up and walked out.

I took the elevator to the ob-gynecology floor and walked to the desk.

"Hi. I am here to confirm if I'm pregnant."

"Okay, take a seat and I'll call up the doctor for you." said the nurse.

I thanked her and took a seat.

Five minutes later, the doctor calls my name and we went into the exam room.

I sit down on the table.

"My name is Dr. Smith and what I can help you with today, Ms. Whitney?"

"Well, I think I'm pregnant and I want to make sure that I am truly pregnant."

"Okay, did you take pregnancy tests?"

I laughed a little. "I took about five and they all came up positive. I wasn't sure if they were true because I have heard about false positive on pregnancy tests. Plus I looked back on my agenda and realized that I skipped my period twice."

"Okay, when was your last monthly cycle?" Dr. Smith asked, putting her hands in pockets.

"I think it was around in February...."

Dr. Smith sighed and nodded.

"Okay, I'm going to wash my hands and I'm going to use the ultrasound to see how far along are you."

I nodded and lie down on the chair. I moved my shirt from tummy and I unbuttoned my jeans.

She moved the ultrasound closer and took a gel bottle out.

"A little warning, it's going to be cold when I put it on your stomach."

I nod and she puts the icy gel on my stomach, causing me to gasp.

"Sorry." She smiled and she puts the transducer on my abdomen. The screen came up and there was a view of my baby.

She looked at it and smiled.

"You're about thirteen weeks now. Here is the baby's head and the baby's spleen. I can see the heartbeat. The baby looks healthy."

I watched the baby's heart moving and the baby moving around. I was in awe of my baby that I couldn't say anything.

"Do you know if it's a boy or girl?" I asked.

"Well, it's too early to tell. You can find out when you're eighteen or twenty weeks along."

"Oh... okay." I nodded.

"Do you want the picture of the baby?"

"Yes, I would love to." I whispered, looking at my baby.

When Dr. Smith finished, she put the screen on pause and print the picture out.

"Here you go. Congratulations by the way." Dr. Smith, handing me the picture of my baby.

"Thanks. So when I do come back?"

"You can make an appointment at the desk and here are the prenatal vitamins. It's very important that you take them. Do you have any questions?"

I shook my head and we bid our goodbyes.

I went to the desk and made appointment to come back in two weeks. I fold the picture in half and put it in my back pocket and walked to the elevator.

When I reached to the waiting room, Flack is still sitting in the same spot and I join him.

"Any news yet?" I asked.

"No... it has been sixty minutes! Damn it! Where is the damn doctor?!" Flack yelled in frustration.

"Flack! You need to calm down.... Jess wouldn't want you be like that... would you?"

Flack sighed heavily. "No.... you're right." Flack closed his eyes and hung his head down.

I rubbed his back in concern and to calm him down.

I looked at the doors and there is a doctor coming in.

"Flack, someone's coming." I said. Flack looked up and we stood up.

I sat with Flack in silence and in shock. We heard Danny say Flack's name and we looked at Danny.

Flack struggled to say something with tears in his eyes.

"She's gone." Flack choked. Danny closed his eyes and sighed heavily. He went to the wall and punched against it in anger and sadness.

Flack started to sob and I took him into my arms. I begin to weep with Flack and comforted him while Danny stood there.

Flack and I were allowed to go see Jessica before they took her for autopsy.

I let Flack go first to be alone with her.

When Flack was done, he came out and nodded at me tear-stained.

I walked in the operating room where she died. There she was on the table, covered up.

I walked to her and stared at her. I took her hand and held it.

"I can't believe that you're gone." I sobbed. "I just don't know what to say...except I'm sorry I couldn't save you." I took out my picture and show it to her.

"I know you can't see it but this is the picture of my baby and I do know that you saved our lives. Thank you." I whispered, kissing her on the forehead.

I put the picture back in my pocket and held her hand for while until I heard someone coming in.

"Isabella, I am so sorry. I will make sure that I'll take care of her." Sid said.

"I know that you will take care of her. You always take care of someone, Sid." I said, looking at him.

Sid nodded. "Did you see Flack?" I whispered.

"Yes, I did. I made sure that he goes home and rest." Sid said.

I chuckled bitterly. "He's not going to rest, Sid. I know that he wants revenge so much... I know his feelings and I have been though this when someone I knew was murdered."

Sid became concerned. "Did he say something about that?"

"No, Sid. You could tell in his eyes. I'm going home now. I'll see you later."

I put her hand down for the last time and was about to walk out when Sid called my name.

"Isabella. We're having a memorial for Jessica tonight at the bar. We're going to have drinks there."

"Okay... I'll be there."

I walked out of the hospital and rode in the taxi to my apartment.

I got into my apartment and it was too quiet in my apartment.

I walked into my bathroom and turned on the shower. I slowly took off my clothes and put the picture into my makeup bag.

I got into the shower and stood there in the shower, letting the warm water running all over me.

I broke down and started to sob uncontrollably. I wrapped my arms around my legs and just sat there sobbing.

Poor Flack and Isabella....losing his lover and her friend. Don't hurt me!!! Anyway.... I will put up the second part up if there are some reviews for this!!!! Thanks! FYI: If I have some grammer errors or spelling errors, sorry about that. I was tired when I proffread it. I'll go back later and fix them. :D
