5. Chapter 5

A/N – Here's part two now and the story continues, sorry for the cliff hanger, or am I? Avoids draggers and any other sharp objects, in that case I am truly sorry, onwards.

"Cassie? Cassie pick up, come on Cassie, please"

Meanwhile inside the house it was black and there was a fire somewhere in the building, Cassie had managed to get out of the small room whilst Jamie was distracted and was running towards the back door when he detonated the C4 on his vest, slowly coming around she found herself staring up at the ceiling, trying to move she found it hurt but she needed to get out.

"Oh my god right come on Cassie get up and out" pep talk not really helping.

Cassie crawled towards the back door and prayed that it was unlocked, grabbing the handle the door wouldn't budge, Cassie pulled herself up on the door handle crying out in pain, she kicked, punched and finally shoulder barged the door sending her flying out onto a metal plant pot and hitting her broken rib again, spitting up blood, Cassie slowly made her way around the side of the house to hear Jay frantically shouting for her and telling Paramedics he didn't need help, he needed his partner his sister.

Cassie eventually got around the side of the house and saw Jay before she collapsed on the grass screaming in agony, Jay saw Cassie as she hit the grass and ran towards her, rolling her over he saw she was covered in blood and struggling for breath.

"Cassie? Please someone help"

"Jay? I'm sorry tell Adam I love him and tell him to look after Darcy for me, I failed my little girl, Jay it hurts, I'm so so…"

Cassie passed out and Jay sobbed and reluctantly allowed the Paramedics to whisk her away on the stretcher, after a few seconds of confusion he ran after Cassie's stretcher and climbed in the back and watched in horror as the paramedic attended to the pneumothorax and then putting the mask over Cassie's face, she was fighting all the way to med, upon arrival Cassie was rushed away and Jay was left to stand in the middle of the Emergency room wondering if he could have done any better, he stood there openly weeping for his partner, friend and sister.

Jay stood there in the same spot for a very long period of time, it wasn't until his brother was passing by, that anyone realised that Jay needed attention.

"Jay what the hell happened to you?"

Jay rubbed his eyes "I'm fine, it's my partner, she got hurt, they took her down there and I don't know if she's alive, they had to decompress her chest and shit Will"

Will pulled Jay along with him and into a side room "What happened?"

"Bomb, C4 I don't know, but she was in the house when it exploded" Jay stood up and grimaced in pain.

"Right, you were caught in that explosion, I'm checking you over"

Jay moves away from Will and towards the door "I'm telling you brother to brother I'm fine, I just need to see her, please Will"

Will sighed "Look I'm not saying this as your brother I'm saying this as your doctor get checked over, doctors prerogative"

Jay walked back into the room and sat down "Do this quickly, I need…"

"Yeah need to go see how your partner is, I know, can you give me five minutes at least?"

Jay nods and reluctantly allows Will to examine him, five minutes later a few bruises and a cut to the cheek, Jay walked back out of the exam room and stalked the halls looking for Cassie, he eventually found Maggie and quickly walked towards her.

"Detective Mitchell where is she, how is she?"

"Fighting us every step of the way, she your partner?" Jay nodded "She's been asking about you, follow me"

Jay followed Maggie and was instantly relieved when he saw Cassie again sat up in bed, oxygen mask on her face, chest drain in and her hair stuck to the dry blood on her head, Jay walked over to Cassie and burst into tears, Cassie pulled Jay into a hug, and they cried together. Maggie came back in and waited for them both to acknowledge she was there.

"Have you told Voight that you are here?"

Jay shook his head "I can't do it, will you do it Maggie, I can't leave Cassie, please?"

Maggie nodded and went to call Voight, little did Maggie know that Will had text Hailey and she was about to reveal everything to the rest of the team.

"Guys I need a word, Antonio can you go get Platt for me?"

Antonio left his desk and jogged down the steps to Trudy at her desk, Hank was coming out of his office and stood beside Hailey, Hailey waited for Antonio and Trudy to arrive, once everyone was there, she took in a deep breath "Jay and Cassie are at Med, their last call went awry, Cassie's been hurt"

Adam ran out of the unit, down the stairs and into his car speeding towards Med, all sort of thoughts ran through his mind, on arrival he found Maggie and nearly knocked her off her feet "Cassie Mitchell, where is she?"

"Detective Halstead is with her now, give me a moment and I'll take you to her"

Maggie continued to fill in some paperwork, Adam was getting impatient "Miss Campbell will you hurry it up, where is she?"

"Officer Ruzek if you do not back away and wait I'll be forced to kick you out of the emergency department, do I make myself clear?"

"Look all I want is to see if my girlfriend is ok, you know alive to come home to me and her daughter, please I need to know"

Maggie sighs and relents "Ok come with me"

Adam follows behind Maggie and walks into the room to find Cassie asleep, Jay sat beside her holding her hand and clearly crying, Adam moves in closer which catches Jay's attention "Sorry I'll go"

Adam shakes his head and pulls the other chair over and sits beside Jay looking at Cassie, Jay still crying turns to Adam "Adam I'm so sorry she stayed in that house, we didn't know he was in there, he was covered in C4, he blew himself up and tried to take Cassie out too, she wouldn't be lying here if I did my job"

Adam grabbed Jay's arm "You did do your job, you got her here, she's still with us, granted a little worse for wear but still here"

"You'd look worse for wear being in a house explosion"

Adam and Jay jump up and both go in for a hug at the same time, Cassie giggled "One at a time boys"

Jay went first and hugged Cassie before kissing her on the head and walking out the room, Adam then gently hugged Cassie trying not to touch the chest drain in her side he then kissed her on the lips and then replaced the oxygen mask "God I thought I lost you, just as I got you"

"Hey I'm not going anywhere, did you know I'm part cat?" Cassie giggles again "I think today cost me about seven of them"

"Cassie don't joke"

Cassie sighs "Look if I don't joke around, I'll break down in uncontrollable tears and I'm not going to do it, no way"

Maggie appeared in the doorway "Sorry got to get you up to intensive care now Miss Mitchell"

"What for she's breathing, she's joking around, she's ok, she's my Cassie"

Maggie sighs "I know she looks all fine and dandy, but its protocol are you refusing to follow protocol Mr Ruzek?"

"No, it's just I don't like the thought of her being in intensive care is all"

"Adam, I'll be ok, just be there for Darcy, whilst I'm in here she needs you"

Adam nods and kisses Cassie again "Stay safe, I love you"

Cassie smiles "I know you do, now go tell the rest of the team where I'm going"

Adam left, Maggie looked at Cassie "How long have you two been together?"

"Five days" Cassie giggled and then groaned "Whoops shouldn't have done that"

"I'll get you some pain relief when on the unit"

"Maggie I don't suppose I could get to see my baby before I go in there?"

"Cassie it's not up to me, but all I can do is ask, how old?"

"Darcy's seven months old, I don't want her thinking I've abandoned her"

Maggie held Cassie's hand and gently squeezed "At that age she'll be happy with any attention she receives, do the unit not watch her?"

"Darcy has them wrapped around her little pinkie, you should she Hank with her, he's not as tough as you think, she can look up at him with those baby blues and he's hooked line and sinker"

Maggie smiles and helps take Cassie from the emergency department up to intensive care, meanwhile Adam is walking into the waiting room and walking over to the team.

"So, how's our girl?"

Adam wipes at his eyes "On oxygen, chest drain in and on her way to intensive care"

Jay's head snaps up "Intensive care? She was ok, please tell me she's, ok?"

Jay runs from the waiting room and towards the lift, hitting the call button several times and cursing the slow moving lift, once it opens he rushes inside and hits the button, in the waiting area everyone stares at the dust cloud left behind by Jay's haste retreat.

Trudy grabs Adam's arm "Is she ok though?"

Adam nods "Its procedure from what Maggie told me, we could go up and see"

Maggie appears holding Cassie's clothes, badge and gun, she passes them to Trudy "Cassie is requesting to see her daughter, won't settle without seeing her"

Kevin stands up "She's in day care I'll go get her, give me ten minutes"

"Atwater do not use your lights and sirens, take your time"

Kevin looks at Hank and smiles "Don't know what you mean Sarge" Kevin winks at Kim and as he walks past Trudy he whispers "Well not with little D in my car that is"

Kevin waits for Trudy to smile and walks away, Hank gives Trudy a knowing smile as they follow Maggie from the waiting area in the emergency room up to intensive care, the intensive care nurse looks up as they all enter the waiting area.

"Maggie how many people have you brought with you, you should know it's only two people in the unit and one in visiting at a time"

"Esther I know but this is the family of Detective Mitchell in room five, can we just cut that rule for them, they know how to behave"

Everyone nodded and sat down, Adam remained standing and looked around for Jay not seeing him he started walking down to room five, what he saw made his blood boil, Jay was laying on the bed beside Cassie hugging her and holding each other's hands.

"Can I have a word with you Halstead?"

Jay got off the bed and followed Adam outside, Cassie watched from the bed, Jay with his back towards Cassie stood watching Adam "You utter bastard!"

"What?"

"You don't do your job properly by looking out for your partner and she ends up in here, she could have died in there and left Darcy without her, you know Darcy that little girl you say you care about"

Jay stands there to his credit allowing Adam to vent his frustrations, but then Adam pushed him too far "Do you think it's acceptable to be lying in bed with my girlfriend, when you have a girlfriend of your own, you say you're her brother, when in fact you want the best of both worlds Cassie and Hailey. You're a sad excuse for a partner, brother and I feel sorry for them both if you're who they have in their lives"

Cassie hears the last part and is angry as hell "JAY, ADAM GIVE IT A REST I'M MY OWN PERSON, I'M ME AND I CAN MAKE MY OWN DECISIONS!"

Cassie got out of the bed completely forgetting the chest drain and oxygen mask and moved from the bed, not before she looked down to her side and the blood on the hospital gown looking into the eyes of them both before her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she fell to the floor, Jay and Adam screamed, Maggie rushed towards them and barged past them to get to Cassie, with unknown strength Maggie lifts Cassie onto the bed, doctors and nurses run into the room from all directions.

Jay and Adam look on in horror as the vast team of medics battle with Cassie, keeping her breathing, soon they were wheeling her down the units corridors heading towards the surgery bay, Jay and Adam ran after the doctors and nurses and were stopped at the doors by Maggie.

"Go back and sit with the rest of the team"

"Please I need to be with her, I need to do something"

Jay nods "I need to be here, I can't sit around and do nothing, please Maggie"

Maggie glares at them "You've done enough, now go sit back down with the rest of the unit at least they can behave!" Maggie turns away but then turns back around "Better yet get out of the intensive care unit and even more so the hospital, I can't bear to look at you both right now"

Maggie pushes through the doors and leaves Jay and Adam alone in their thoughts, they both look at each other and walk back towards the others, once in the room, Esther and the whole unit sat glaring at them, Kevin arrived with Darcy in his arms and pushing the buggy, Adam walked over to Darcy and pulled her into his arms, looking around at everyone he put Darcy into her buggy, strapping her in and leaving the room and into the lift in a matter of seconds.

"What the hell did I miss?"

"Ruzek and Halstead got into a screaming match outside Cassie's room, she got angry stood up and ripped her chest drain out, gone into surgery now" Trudy glared at Jay "I hope you're happy with yourself Halstead"

"Do I look it, seriously I don't need the third degree from you either, I'm going home"

Jay walked away and everyone else sat in a difficult silence, eventually Trudy stood up almost in tears "I'm going home I can't do this"

Trudy quickly walked away letting her tears flow, getting down to her patrol car, she wiped her face and drove to the one person she knew wouldn't judge her for crying, her confident, her husband Mouch.

On arrival outside of Firehouse fifty one, Trudy glanced up and then buried her head on the steering wheel, Herrmann being out on the apron noticed the patrol car pull up, he noticed Trudy with her head on the steering wheel so he went inside 51 to find Mouch, Trudy sat back up and took her phone out of her uniform jacket.

I'm outside 51, Randall I need you, I can't come inside, come to me.

Inside 51 Herrmann approached Mouch as his phone vibrated, taking the phone out of his pocket he glanced at the message and quickly got up from the couch and walked quickly out of the common room and 51, everyone in the common room sat in shock they'd never seen Mouch move so fast, ten seconds after receiving the text he was beside Trudy's patrol car and opening the door.

"Trudy what's wrong?"

Trudy burst into tears "Oh Randall one of the Detectives was caught in an explosion and she's now in intensive care, I shouldn't feel this way, but I do, I care about her"

Mouch nodded "One of your Detectives was in that explosion over on Roosevelt?"

"That's what I said, Randall pay attention"

"I was, it's just we attended that call, we didn't know that anyone else had been involved, Jesus I'm sorry, want to come inside?"

Trudy shook her head "No, oh god I don't know, why am I even here, I should be there with her, I'm an awful mom"

Mouch mouths mom "Trudy? Mom?"

Trudy grabs hold of Mouch's hand "I'm not technically her mom, just took on that role, apart from her little girl she has no one"

Trudy took in her surroundings and wiped at her face "What am I doing? I'm going back to Med and I'm going to be there for her, can you manage on your own?"

Mouch nods "Of course, you do what you need to do, just remember to eat, sleep and drink"

"Of course, thanks"

"For what? Letting my wife cry, you know you don't have to be that tough as old boots desk Sergeant around me, I love the soft kind natured Trudy Platt, that's what she needs, go to her and be there for her"

Trudy hugs Mouch and once again wipes away at tears, before pulling away and making her way back to the hospital, Mouch walks back up the apron and into 51, the common room and sits back on the couch watching the TV.

"Care to share what that was all about Mouch?"

Mouch turns his head towards Kelly Severide "Nope"

After that quick and short reply everyone within the common room got back to what they were doing, leaving Mouch to his thoughts, meanwhile back at Med Trudy was pulling up outside of Med taking in a deep breath she shut off the engine and got out the car, secretly hoping the rest of the team had gone home, she made her way through the hospital to the intensive care unit and was revealed to find the waiting room empty.

Esther looked up from the computer in front of her "Welcome you here for Miss Mitchell?"

Trudy nods trying not to cry again "Yes I am, how is she?"

"Back in room five, on pain killers but generally ok, under the circumstances that is"

"Tough as old boots that one"

"Chip of the old block?"

"No, just we are close, Cassie lost her mom over six months ago, I've taken over that role"

Esther smiles "In that case go on through, tea? Coffee? Anything to eat?"

"No, I'm good thanks" Trudy points down the corridor "Can I go now?"

Esther nods, Trudy smiles back and walks down the corridor and stops at the entrance to the room, Maggie is sat with Cassie holding her hand, sensing someone looking at her Maggie looked up from Cassie and towards Trudy.

"Hey, you ok?"

Trudy walks in and removes her jacket "Yeah I'm ok, how's Cassie"

"I'm fine, don't need to tiptoe around me I'm not made of glass"

Trudy walks the last few yards to Cassie and grips her hand "Oh my dear girl you scared the living daylights out of me, you got this tough old cookie to cry"

Cassie looks up at Trudy with tears in her eyes "Mom I was so scared, I thought I'd die in there and never see you, Adam or my baby again"

"Sssh now, you're here, alive, just no more jumping up out of bed"

"That won't be a problem, Maggie threatened to handcuff me to the bed"

Trudy looks back at Maggie at the door "Now there's a thought"

Maggie smiles "Stay calm Cassie and do everything the doctors tell you or I will come and do my threat"

Cassie sighs "Normally I'd have a smart reply to that, but only being in your presence briefly Maggie I know that's not an idol threat"

Maggie laughs "You better believe it girl"

Cassie holds up her hands "Oh I do, thanks Maggie"

Maggie waves goodbye and Trudy starts pottering around the room, finding a bowl and filling it with water, grabbing a vast amount of paper towels Trudy placed the bowl of water on the side unit and waited for Cassie to look at her.

"You need the blood wiping from your head, don't think I could do much for the blood in your hair, but shall we attempt to make you look more dignified?"

Cassie nods and closing her eyes sighing as Trudy gently wipes away the dried blood, a nurse appears in the room and smiles, Trudy looks up "Hi I don't suppose you have a spare hairbrush lying around? I'd like to brush my girls hair if you don't mind"

"I'll see what I can do"

The nurse returns a few minutes later with a brand new hair brush and several hair ties, Trudy took the items gratefully and sat for a moment wondering as to how to brush Cassie's hair, deciding the best course of action would be to get on the bed with Cassie.

Cassie felt the movement behind her and opened her eyes "Mom?"

"Sssh now I'm going to brush your hair and tie it up, that ok?"

"Uh huh" Cassie yawns "I'm sleepy"

"Go sleep I can do your hair when you wake up" Trudy kisses the top of Cassie's head "Want me to get off the bed?"

Cassie moves to face Trudy "No mom stay with me"

Trudy pulls Cassie into a hug "There, there my darling girl you sleep, moms here"

Cassie snuggled further in, Trudy held her close before falling asleep herself, three hours later Trudy was woken up by a cough from the entrance of the room, looking up she found Mouch smiling at her, gently moving off the bed and heading towards Mouch she smiled.

"Hey was in the area and thought you might want a change of clothes, your phone charger and purse"

"Thank you Randall"

"That your detective?"

Trudy looks at Cassie sleeping peacefully "Yeah that's her"

Mouch looks over at the sleeping Cassie "Newbie?"

"Yeah only been with us for a few weeks seconded from the CFD actually"

"Firefighter or Paramedic?"

"Firefighter foremost but training or trained as a Paramedic, she did tell me but its slipped my mind"

Mouch nods "Understandable, hey it was only a brief visit got the intensive care nurse glaring at me"

Trudy looked down the corridor at Esther glaring at Mouch "You best go, Ruzek and Halstead are already in her bad books, don't want you in trouble too"

"Love you and Trudy stay as long as she needs you"

Mouch kisses Trudy goodbye and leaves the unit, Esther walks down the corridor and stands beside Trudy "You ok, need to change?"

"Yes but" Trudy points at Cassie.

"Ahh you don't want to leave her"

"No, I don't, I can't leave her"

Esther walks into the room and shuts the blinds "Get changed in here, I'll stand by the door and once you're ready let me know and I'll open the blinds again"

Trudy rubs Esther's arm "Thank you"

Esther smiles and walks out the room, closing the door behind her, Trudy opens up the bag to find several pairs of pyjamas, fresh underwear, all her toiletries, several t shirts and various leggings and jeans, Trudy teared up Mouch had thought of everything, grabbing her pug pyjamas she quickly changed and knocked on the door, Esther walked in and grinned.

"Well, he really did think of everything"

"Tell me about it and I haven't checked the whole bag yet, hoping he remembered my slippers and dressing gown"

Delving deeper into the bag Trudy indeed found her slippers and dressing gown, Esther pulled up the blinds and giggled as she left the room, who would have thought that Sergeant Trudy Platt wore pug pyjamas?

An hour later Cassie stirred and sat looking at Trudy dozing in the chair in of all things Pug pyjamas, Cassie started to giggled which ended in a coughing fit, Trudy quickly grabbed the cup of water and handed it to Cassie.

"What on earth are you wearing?"

"Pyjamas, sure you didn't hit your head earlier"

"I can see that its pyjamas, but why Pugs?"

"Ahh, my husband brought them for me as a joke birthday present, do you not like them?"

Cassie smiles "I like them just wasn't expecting to see the desk Sergeant of district twenty one sat in my intensive care room in Pug pyjamas"

Trudy laughs "You think this is bad, I have a whole range of odd pyjamas"

Cassie sits further up in bed, the sheet falls down revealing her black sports bra and panties "What kinds?"

Trudy grabs the hospital gown and hands it to Cassie "Oh urm Cats, various other dogs, fruits, vegetables and the face of my husband"

Cassie unfortunately took a sip of water as Trudy confessed that last one, covering the hospital gown in water "Oh…my…good…lord"

Trudy smiles "What?"

"Face of your husband, you haven't got them with you I hope"

"Urm?" Trudy checks the bag and giggles "Yeah I have, want to see?"

Cassie nods and smiles as Trudy hands the pyjama top to her, looking back at her is the face of Mouch smiling up at her, Cassie hands the garment back "He looks really lovely"

Trudy sits back down and nods "He sure is, told me to stay with you for however you need me for"

Cassie giggles "Could that be the reason for the set of pyjamas with his face on?"

"Possibly, you don't want to know where the hands are?"

"Oh, come on"

"Ok fair warning no drinking" Cassie nods, Trudy hands her the bottoms "There you go, nicely placed on the backside of the pants"

Cassie bursts into laughter "Please tell me that's not a tradition of couples having their partners on pyjama tops and their hands on the pants, I struggle to keep Adam's hands off my ass now let alone on pyjamas"

Cassie looks at Trudy's face and the raised eyebrow "Forget what I just said"

"Too late"

Cassie shivers, Trudy stands up "You need the gown on?"

Cassie nods "I would love it on, but I wet it"

"Ahh I see, give me a sec"

Trudy walks out the room and down towards Esther, not seeing Maggie stood at the desk "Esther I need a clean gown for Cassie, she wet the one we had in the room"

"Sure, give me a second" Esther walks to get a gown before handing it to Trudy, Esther turns to Maggie "So drinks after shift? The Pug and Lettuce?"

Trudy looks up from the gown and finds Esther and Maggie smiling "I think you'll find that it's the Slug and Lettuce and the meals in there are quite reasonable, Esther, Maggie good evening"

Esther and Maggie watch as Trudy walks away quickly and into the room before laughing, Maggie waves bye to Esther, Trudy meanwhile walks back over to the bed Cassie was laying on and helps Cassie up to sit up on the edge of the bed, Trudy caught site of the scar on Cassie's lower abdomen and raising an eyebrow looks directly at Cassie looking down at the same scar.

"Oh, that I had to have surgery to correct a bowel problem, nothing bad, all good now though"

"Yeah ok Cassie don't make me out to be an idiot, that's not a surgical scar for bowel surgery and you know it"

"Can you just put the gown on me and help me back to bed?"

Trudy helps Cassie get the gown on and back into bed, Cassie turns away from Trudy, Trudy sighs and sits down on the chair in the far corner of the room, twenty minutes of silence was then broken by Cassie sobbing.

"Mom?"

Trudy walked over to Cassie "What's wrong you in pain? Need me to ring for a doctor?"

Cassie shakes her head "No mom I need to tell someone and you're the only one I trust"

"Cassie you're scaring me"

"Darcy's mine"

Trudy nods "I know darling you adopted her when she was three weeks old"

Cassie shook her head "No you don't understand there was an adoption process in place, but it never got finished"

"Cassie you're not making any sense"

Cassie groans "I'm making perfect sense you're just not listening to me"

"Cassie I'm listening perfectly, you're not making sense, are you in pain?"

"I'm not in bloody pain" Cassie takes in deep breaths "I'm Darcy's mom"

Cassie groans again "Listen you were right it's not a scar for bowel surgery it's a scar for…"

"Oh my"

Cassie nods, Trudy pulls her into a hug, they stay this way for quite some time before Cassie pushes Trudy gently away "Maybe I should tell you from the very beginning?"

Sixteen months ago, we'd just finished our show for the year, so we all went out for drinks, it was a great night, good food with good friends, then I was stupid and drunk, stupidly drunk you'd say.

Too many drinks, intense flirting and I ended my night in one of my friends bed, woke up totally naked, hungover, clothes neatly piled on top of the chair in the far corner of the room.

Four weeks later I'm throwing up in the mornings, tender breasts. Keira suggested I take a pregnancy test, longest five minutes of my life, it was positive. Keira was so supportive and really excited, my mom cried said I ruined my life and my dad well he was a whole new level, zero to hundred in seconds.

My dad was fuming, called me a slut, he hid me away from everyone, he wanted to hide the mistake from everyone, the whole world. He told neighbours I was sick had a form of cancer, can you believe it? Cancer the worst thing anyone could deal with, but he told it so freely.

When I eventually told them who the farther was that was it, I was to tell everyone that my baby was Keira's, which meant she had to pretend to have some illness, yeah a nine month illness, Harvey went along with it too, I couldn't tell or see anyone.

My dad cut my hair really short to keep up that lie of Cancer, my hair was so long, longer than what it is now, I hated him for it, but he said it needed to be done for the safety of the baby.

You see the father's family have a lot of money and would have taken the baby away, my dad drilled that into me for the full pregnancy, so three weeks before I was due I agreed to sign my baby over to my sister and her husband, I didn't want to but what choice did I have? I hated all of them for taking my chance away from me.

I went into labour at home, my dad refused to take me to hospital, I was struggling, after two days of agony Harvey and Keira ignored him and rushed me to hospital, the doctors took one look at me and immediately took me into surgery, it gets a little hazy after that.

Darcy May Fitzpatrick arrived and was perfect, she was given straight to Keira and Harvey and I was left to deal with having my little girl taken away from me, as soon as I was well enough after a few days, I packed up my belongings and drove to Chicago.

I applied to join the CFD and CPD, CFD got to me first and I lost the baby weight, I wasn't big to start with, then three weeks later my mom, dad, sister and brother in law were killed in a car crash in New York and I went back, one to reclaim my daughter and two for their funerals.

I mean I'm upset that they are all dead, but I'm glad they are, I always felt second best to Keira, she did nothing wrong where I did everything wrong, the only way I was ever in the Daisy Hooten Theatre company was because of Oscar and Korey, more so Korey his family paid for it, I was forever grateful.

After their funerals I was going through my dad's papers, turns out I wasn't their biological daughter, mother unknown, explained as to why Keira was always the favourite, I didn't look like them, they all had blond hair and I have long wavy brunette hair, so I remain a Mitchell until I find my birth mom and trust me I will, no matter how long it takes.

But for now, I'm satisfied with the one I do have right here with me.

Trudy wiped at tears "Oh darling I'll be here for you always and that little sweet pea"

Trudy jumps up from her seat and gets on the bed with Cassie and hugs her "Sweety who's Darcy's daddy?"

"Korey"

"Ahh I see, he doesn't know either?"

"No, my dad told me they'd take Darcy away from me and I still do believe that even with me working and got a great child care package in my intelligence family"

"Cassie sweety can we not tell them, they'd keep you both safe"

"No if Korey was ever to find out he'd take Darcy no questions asked, I can't explain as to why I know that I just do, please Trudy I need you to keep this to yourself, please I can't lose my baby again"

Cassie sobbed loudly and Trudy pulled her into a hug "Sssh Cassie I'm not going to tell anyone I promise"

Cassie nods sniffs and hugs into Trudy and falls asleep, Trudy lies beside Cassie in deep shock but still wanted to go kick Korey's ass, even though he wasn't at fault, totally but that wasn't the point.

The next morning Trudy sat in the chair and wondered who was coming in this morning to spend time with Cassie, Antonio knocked on the door "Morning little one, how you feeling?"

"Getting there Tonio"

Antonio walked in carrying several board games and a chest set "Oh before I forget my daughter Eva made you this get well soon card"

The card was handmade, with a police car and officer on it, within the card there was beautiful handwriting saying get well soon Detective Mitchell, Cassie looked up at Antonio with tears in her eyes "Thank you Tonio"

"No problem little one, now can you play chess?"

Cassie giggles "Can I play Chess? Come on Tonio let me beat your ass"

Trudy chuckles "You both going to be ok?"

Cassie and Antonio nod concentrating on getting out the chess board, Trudy leaves them alone and walks out the intensive care unit, out the hospital and towards her patrol car, heading to the trunk she finds her spare CPD uniform jacket putting in on she gets into the driver's seat and drives away on her secret mission.

On arrival outside 4346 Oakwood Street, she pulled up and grabbed her badge, getting out of the patrol car she walks up the drive smiling at the curtain twitchers she steps confidentially onto the porch and knocks, waiting patiently she smiles as Korey comes to the door.

"Ahh Mr Delaruge we've had reports of late night parties and recreational drugs being taken on this premises"

"Oh, come on Sergeant Platt you know me, I helped you win that talent show"

"Be as it may I have to follow up on such reports, are you refusing me entry?"

"No but this is entirely unnecessary"

Korey allows Trudy into the house and watches as she walks around the house, Trudy eventually finds Korey in the kitchen smiling "You can wipe that smirk from your face right now!"

"Of course, sorry, just find it odd that someone would say we take drugs, we help the neighbours around here"

"Look Mr Delarude"

"It's Delaruge"

"I'll call you whatever I damn well like, now you will shut up and listen"

Korey gulps and nods his head "I don't care where you've come from if I get any word of anything I'll come down on you so hard you'll be picking your teeth up by post, I don't like you so don't think for one minute I'll not do what I say, if I can't everyone else on that damn unit will, do I make myself clear?"

"Yes clearly, but honestly have not got a clue why this happened or now it ended up me getting my teeth threatened"

"Did that really happen?"

"Did what happen?"

Trudy smirks "Exactly, have a good day Mr Delaruge" Korey goes to stand up "No I'll let myself out, good day"

"Yeah good day" Korey watches as Trudy leaves the house "Well that was odd, ahh oh well back to playing Pokémon Go, gotta catch them all"

Trudy got back into her patrol car and heading to Hanks house, she needed to tell him what she'd done but not the reason for it, which would be difficult Hank could read Trudy like a book, one page in and he'd have you telling the plot just by raising one eyebrow, boy was this going to be difficult.

On arrival Trudy found Hank stood beside his car, taking in a deep breath Trudy got out of the patrol car.

"Morning Trudy and what do I owe your presence this morning?"

"I screwed up!" So much for not giving it away.

"You don't screw up, we generally leave it to the others" Hank notices Trudy's expression "Oh?"

"I didn't mean too, well actually I did it's just I promised and here I am stood in on your driveway about to do exactly the same thing"

"Well, this is a first"

"First for what?"

"The great Trudy Platt flapping about something she's said or done, haven't we helped each other through our mistakes?"

"Yes, but it doesn't just involve me, it involves…" Trudy shook her head "Nope not going to go there"

Hank laughs. Trudy glares at Hank and is about to retaliate when her phone rings "Platt"

Where are you I need your help, someone's help! I know Darcy I know. Sarge help she won't settle, won't eat, I'm losing it, please.

"Adam calm down you getting stressed isn't helping Darcy, look can you bring her to Voight's house?"

I would if I knew where I tossed my keys last night.

Trudy swore in her mind "Right ok, seriously Adam find your keys, I haven't got my car at the moment it's at the district, give me fifteen to twenty minutes"

I guess I can hold on that long, Jesus Christ Darcy no!

"Adam? Adam?"

Trudy looks at her phone and the blank screen "God damn it, got to go sounds like world war fifteen over the phone"

Trudy jogged to her patrol car and sped away using her lights and sirens, within five minutes she was pulling into the patrol car garage and sprinting through the district, everyone who saw her jumped out the way, everyone that is was Detective Kinicki, who unfortunately ended up face planting a plastic tree and ending up in a heap on the floor, Trudy not noticing carried on to her locker, getting her car keys she shut and locked her locker before starting the journey back, when she approached where Kinicki was laying on the floor she stopped.

"What on earth happened here?"

"You ma'am"

"Excuse me Officer?"

"Officer Snow ma'am"

"Do you take that tone with all senior officers in this building?"

"No ma'am, it's just you asked what happened and I replied you ma'am, in your haste you knocked into Detective Kinicki, and he face planted the tree and fell to the floor, I've been trying to wake him up ever since ma'am"

"Ahh I see" Trudy smiles at Officer Snow "Kinicki get up you incredibly useless tub of lard!"

Kinicki opened his eyes slowly and in a daze looked at Trudy and Officer Snow looking back at him "What the hell happened?"

"Me rushing, you in the way, hit plastic tree, you on floor, got it?"

Kinicki nods, Trudy looks directly at Officer Snow who's grinning from ear to ear "Make sure he gets seen by medical, ok? Good"

Trudy took off running again, leaving a very confused Kinicki and Officer Snow in the corridor, getting to the area where her car was, Trudy got into her car in record time, oh how she wished her own car had the police sirens and lights, but it didn't so driving within the speed limit was the norm. Pulling up into Cassie's driveway as soon as the car stopped she jumped out and ran into Cassie's house.

Adam flung Darcy into Trudy's arms "Take her seriously"

Darcy looked up at Trudy and snuggled in, promptly falling asleep, Trudy smiled down at the little girl and walked her over to her bouncer, strapping her in she then turned to Adam.

"I told you over the phone to be calm, she picks up on it"

"I know Sarge, I know it's just she needs Cassie not me, I thought I could handle it on my own and after the night I've had I realise I can't, help me, help us"

Trudy nods "Adam go home, eat, sleep and shower I've got this"

Adam smiles "Thanks Sarge, are you sure?"

Trudy drags Adam out of the house and leaves him on the driveway "You found your keys I take it?"

"Yeah they were in the fridge"

"Just go Adam" Adam walks towards his car, Trudy smiles at him as he looks back at her "Oh and Adam no more putting your keys in the fridge"

Adam giggles and waves goodbye, Trudy watches as Adam's car goes out of sight and then walks back into the house and looks around at the disaster zone, shaking her head at the mess Trudy finds everything she needs to clean and tidy up before having to go back to the hospital, the only issue with that was who would watch Darcy?

Once the house was clean, tidy and back to normal, Trudy bathed, dressed and fed Darcy before taking her out to her car and strapping her into the car seat, going back into the house to grab the diaper bag and frame for the buggy she locked up and put everything into the car, taking one last peek at the sleeping baby, happily sucking on her pacifier, Trudy gets into the driver's seat and heads towards Med.

On arrival she finds Herrmann coming out and he smiles down at Darcy, he looks back up at Trudy "Hey you ok? Mouch never did say why you were at the house"

"Hi Christopher, I'm ok"

"Who's this little lady? Become a babysitter on you off days?"

"Something like that" Trudy's phone starts to ring "Platt?"

Sergeant Platt you are needed at the District Sergeant Kipper has called in sick, your next on the list.

"Oh, am i? Sir I have a slight problem with coming in, sir could you give me a sec?"

Trudy looks at Herrmann smiling down at Darcy asleep in her buggy "Could you just watch her a second while I take this call?"

Herrmann nods "Sure"

Trudy nods her thanks and goes outside to take the rest of the call, Herrmann looks down again at Darcy who is now awake and looking up at Herrmann looking at her, Darcy's bottom lip starts to tremble, and her eyes fill up with tears.

"Oh, darling don't cry, Trudy will be back soon"

Herrmann pushes the buggy into the waiting area and starts searching through the bag, he finds a cuddly rabbit and hands it to Darcy, who takes the toy but still has tears in her eyes, Herrmann unclips the straps and lifts Darcy into his arms.

"Sssh little one you'll be ok, Herrmann's got you, you hungry?"

Herrmann hands Darcy her sippy cup and smiles as she takes a drink whilst he searches through the bag again for some food, he finds a box filled with fruits and hands Darcy I dried banana chip, Darcy looks up at Herrmann and smiles.

"Aww there you go, that's a nice smile you got there little miss"

Herrmann then notices that Darcy isn't eating the banana chip she gnawing at it "Oh I see, oh darling those nasty teeth hurting you?"

Darcy blows out a raspberry, Herrmann laughs "That a yes? Ok let's go find something nice and cold for your teeth"

Herrmann holding onto Darcy pushes the buggy back out of the waiting area and heads towards Trudy and Maggie "Hey Trudy I think this little lady is teething and that's what's making her grumpy"

"There's some baby Calpol in the front pocket of her bag, can you give it to her Christopher?"

"Sure, how old?"

"Seven months" Trudy tuns to Maggie "So I've got no one to watch her, I can't ask any of the team as they're all still reeling from the accident"

"I'll do it"

Trudy and Maggie look at Christopher, Trudy shakes her head "No I can't ask you to do that besides she doesn't even know you"

Darcy giggles as Herrmann tickles her "I think we'll be fine, where were you going with her anyway?"

"ICU to visit her mom"

"Oh? Well, I can do that"

"Really?"

Herrmann nods "Sure, what's the room number I need?"

"Room five" Maggie replies grabbing her phone "Let me just ring the unit so they know you can both enter"

Trudy walks up to Herrmann holding Darcy "You sure about this?"

"Sure, I have five of my own, my youngest is the same age as this little lady, so yeah I can handle it"

Trudy smiles and strokes Darcy's cheek "Be good for Christopher Darcy"

Darcy buried her head into Herrmann's neck and Trudy kissed her head, glancing one last time Trudy then made her way to her car and to the district, Maggie nodded at Herrmann to say he was good to go and he then made his way up to the ICU, when he arrived he found Esther and introduced himself and Darcy to her, before walking down to room five, he finds Antonio and Darcy's mom hugging and slowly enters the room.

"Afternoon Dawson"

"Herrmann? What brings you here?"

"Well, you see I was here to see Chaplain Orlovsky and I happened to bump into Trudy, who was on her way to visit your friend here with this lovely little lady, when she got a call to go to the district, so I'm on baby duty"

"Very well, you going to be ok little one?"

Cassie nods "Go Tonio I'll be fine, I'm sleepy anyway so there's that"

Antonio walks past Herrmann and strokes Darcy's face "Look after them Herrmann"

Herrmann nods "Of course"

Antonio smiles and looks back over at Cassie who's now dozing, Herrmann smiles at the young women asleep on the bed and settles down in the chair, Darcy looks around the room and smiles as she sees her mom, Herrmann stands up and lets Darcy touch her mom's head.

"Now Darcy don't be too rough, looks like mommy is really hurting, here let me hold you while you hug your mommy"

Herrmann lowers Darcy to the bed and allows Darcy to snuggle her mom for five minutes, after those five minutes Darcy got restless, so Herrmann picked her up and walked around the room pointing out the various different pieces of equipment on the walls, Darcy spotted the red light above her mom's bed and squealed.

"Oh, you see that tells the doctors and nurses that mommy needs help, but we won't do anything to trigger that as it will be loud and hurt your little ears"

Herrmann looked around the room and found blankets, he spread them over the floor and sat Darcy down on them, Herrmann found a box of gloves and attempted to make glove animals, all he managed to do was blow them up and then let them deflate, the noise escaping made Darcy giggle loudly causing the nurses and doctors on the unit to come and look and in turn laugh.

Herrmann heard giggles from the bed and looked up "Oh hi, urm I'm not some total weirdo that looks after kids I mean uh look can I start over?"

Cassie nods and giggles "Ooh don't make me laugh"

Herrmann stands up picking Darcy up to "I'm Christopher Herrmann Firefighter out of Firehouse 51, I'm friends with Trudy and her husband Mouch"

"Oh, the guy with his hands placed on the pants of some pyjama bottoms that…"

Herrmann stands open mouthed, Cassie giggles "Sorry forget I even said anything, she been a good girl?"

"Darcy here has been the best, how do you know Trudy?"

"We work together over in Intelligence, not long started and I end up in here"

"It happens, so how did you get in here?"

"Was on a call at Roosevelt when the guy in the house trapped me in the room with him and had a lot of C4 attached to the vest he was wearing, I distracted him and got out to the kitchen when BOOM he blew himself up"

Herrmann paled "You were in that house?"

"Yeah I sure was, why?"

Herrmann shook his head and then found Cassie's hand "Someone was watching over you that day"

"Don't know who, nobody that is in heaven or where ever would really care to be honest"

"Surely you have parents, siblings to look out for you?"

"Nope, all I have is the unit and my daughter, Trudy is like my mom, and I love her for what she does, she's a damn site better at it than what my mom actually was, but then again she wasn't my mom was she?"

Herrmann nods and then sighs "Look I'm always a good shoulder to cry on or punch. Look I've only just met you and I can see you need friends in your life, so how about being friends?"

Cassie smiles "I'd like that, my names Cassidy"

"I like that name, so sweet"

Cassie laughs "My name might be sweet, but this Detective is far from being sweet just ask the guys on the unit"

"Oh, I will"

Trudy walks in and smiles at Cassie and Herrmann "Thank you Christopher"

Cassie nods "Thanks Chris, you don't know how much it means to me to have friends like you in Chicago"

"Here's my number whenever you need a chat, I'm your guy, I could become an agony aunt, but the dress and heels would kill me, bye Cassidy, bye Trudy and bye little Darcy"

Herrmann glances at Cassie to Trudy and then smiles, Trudy picks up on it and beckons Herrmann outside "What is it Christopher?"

"Look closely at Cassidy, I mean really look and you'll see it" Herrmann tickles Darcy in Trudy's arms "Word of advice tell Mouch soon because if I can pick up on it so can he, look after your daughter and granddaughter Trudy"

Trudy stands in shock "How did you?"

"It's all in the eyes, keep her close because having a child is the best experience ever"

With one final smile Herrmann walks away and leaves Trudy in the doorway, Darcy squeals as Esther comes towards them "Hey little lady, you ok?"

Darcy blows out the raspberry in response, Esther smiles "Good girl"

Trudy walks back into the room and sits beside Cassie's bed who's smiling "Chris is nice, does he really work for the CFD and with your husband?"

"Yes they both do"

Cassie nods and smiles "At least I know when I go back into the CFD I'll have some friends there"

As the day wore on, Darcy got restless and fortunately at the time Hailey walked into the room.

"Aww little D what's up little bug?"

"Teething"

Hailey nods "Oh yeah my niece and nephew suffered with that, bickipegs, my brother and sister in law sore by them"

"Thank you Hailey I'll go get some of those, goodnight Cassie dear see you in the morning"

"Goodnight and thank you for everything you do mom"

Trudy nodded and carried Darcy out of the room with the buggy in hand, she got out of the hospital and put Darcy in her car seat. The word mom coming from Cassie even though she didn't realise it was bittersweet, Trudy never thought twenty seven years later that she'd hear those words and when Cassie told her what her dad had done to her with Darcy all those memories came flooding back.

The memory of her dad, who was a strict man telling his then twenty two year old daughter that she'd never be a mom, that the mistake would be dealt with at the time of birth, at least her dad allowed his daughter to name her children, yes children at the age of twenty two Trudy gave birth to twins, Cassidy Mae and Oliver Jacob Platt. What Trudy had been told that the twins had died shortly after birth but in fact her dad had lined up two couples to take the twins away, Oliver went to Harry and Francine Hicks and Cassidy went to Frank and Michelle Mitchell.

Now with her daughter now working on the intelligence unit, Trudy hoped that Oliver was somewhere in the Chicago area, she'd like to know how her son was doing even if she couldn't play a part in his life, but she was determined she'd be in Cassie's life and even more so to protect her and Darcy from anyone that would do them harm.

Trudy sat in her car thinking of how she could try and find out about Oliver, and she knew asking Hank he'd gladly help, family helped each other. But firstly, her husband needed to be told about her past, a past she wasn't ashamed of, but a past that needed to be told.

Trudy sighed and made her way to Molly's on arrival she was grateful to see Kelly Severide stood outside making her window move down Trudy shouted at Severide "Severide can you get Randall to come outside to me and then we can go home"

"Sure but don't you want to come in?"

Trudy shook her head and pointed into he backseat and to the car seat "Nope I'd rather not, Molly's is no place for a baby"

"Baby?"

"Yes our new Detective has a seven month old and while she's recovering in hospital the unit is taking it in turns to look after her"

Kelly nods and walks into Molly's and a few minutes later Mouch came out all smiles, he gets into the car and kisses Trudy "Hi didn't expect you home tonight"

Trudy sighs "I know but someone needed to watch Darcy"

"Who's Darcy?"

"Darcy is the Detective in hospitals daughter"

"Ahh I see, no problem"

Trudy smiles and pulls away from Molly's and drove home, pulling onto the driveway that was the time Darcy made her presence known, screaming her little head off, Mouch jumped out of the car and opened the door and lifted Darcy out of the car seat quickly.

"Hey little lady sssh its ok"

Darcy continued to cry, Mouch walked up the driveway and opened the door, he walked into the house and went straight to the fridge and pressed the button for the ice and handed Darcy a large piece of ice to suck on, Trudy came into the kitchen to find her husband and granddaughter bonding in the nicest way possible. Mouch was humming a lullaby and Darcy was holding on the piece of ice and struggling into Mouch's neck.

Trudy wiped at stray tears before patting Mouch on the back "You ok?"

Mouch nodded "Yeah were ok, looks like Darcy is teething so she's sucking on a large piece of ice, I'm watching her with it"

Trudy sniffed and wiped at tears, Mouch grabbed his wife's hand and squeezed "Hey what's wrong?"

Trudy shook her head and walked away and sat on the couch in the living room, Mouch quickly followed and sat beside his wife who was crying. Mouch settled a now contented Darcy in his lap and grabbed Trudy's right hand, gently squeezing it and waiting for Trudy to talk to him.

Five minutes of silence later and Trudy turned towards Mouch "Randall what I'm about to tell you is something I've wanted to tell you for so long but never found the right time, until now"

"Ok, but whatever it is we can work through it together"

Trudy smiled "I truly believe that, so when I was twenty two years old I fell pregnant, my dad was furious, I gave birth to twins, a girl and boy, I was told a few hours after their birth that they'd died, but that was a downright lie!"

Trudy stood up and paced, Mouch watched his wife pacing and then looked down at Darcy falling asleep on his lap, adjusting Darcy into his arms he sat and stroked Darcy's face and smiled as she smiled back and snuggled into him and promptly fell asleep.

"You're so good with her"

Mouch giggled "Believe it or not I have been around Kenny a few times so I'm not a total novice"

"God I don't like to speak ill of the dead, but I really hate my dad right now"

Mouch nodded and patted the couch "Come sit down, sit with us"

Trudy did just that and sat beside her husband and smiled as Darcy was fast asleep but holding onto the little finger on Mouch's right hand, Trudy sighed "Randall I've found my daughter she's alive and lives in Chicago and she's the most beautiful soul you could ever imagine"

"You've met her? Does she know you're her mom?"

Trudy shook her head "Yeah I've met her and no she doesn't but that's the thing she classes me as her mom, Randall she's gone through so much, I have to be there for her"

"Your new Detective the one in the hospital bed that's your daughter?" Mouch looks down at Darcy and snuggles her closer kissing her head "Darcy, she's your no wait she's our granddaughter?"

Trudy nods and smiles "Yes and it looks like she's got you wrapped around her little finger already"

Mouch nods and kisses Darcy's head "You got that right, so what's your daughter's name?"

"Cassidy Mae, but she prefers Cassie" Trudy looks down at her feet "My sons name at birth was Oliver Jacob and I have no clue where he is"

"I'm here, I've met my granddaughter, so when can I meet my daughter?"

"Your daughter?"

Mouch nods "Yes you're my wife, so Cassie and Darcy are part of me also"

Trudy smiled and kissed Mouch's cheek "You Randall are the loveliest man I could ask for"

"On the contrary I'm not, just I've noticed how happy you are around them both, so that makes me happy, can we both go to the hospital in the morning then I can finally meet the girl that melted my wife's heart"

"Hey I wasn't that bad, was I?"

"Trudy you have the whole of the district watching your every move, if you say jump they say how high, no questions asked" Mouch smiles and laughs "You also keep the Intelligence unit on the straight and narrow not an easy task for you and Voight"

"Truer words never spoken, but yes I'd like for you to meet Cassie, but Randall you have to keep it to yourself, she doesn't know and its taken me all this time to tell you, let alone my twenty seven year old daughter, oh and Christopher knows"

"How did that come about?"

"He helped me with Darcy and met Cassie and guessed, wait till you meet her according to Christopher Cassie has my eyes"

"If that's the case I'll love her even more"

Trudy looks at her watch "I need to nip to Cassie's house to get some things for Darcy, will you be ok?"

"We'll be fine, but how about we go together? But first my granddaughter needs a diaper change" Trudy goes to grab Darcy, Mouch waves her off "I told you not a total novice I've changed Kenny's diaper and he had extra bits, I've got this"

Trudy watched in awe as Mouch gently placed Darcy on the couch and changed her diaper without even waking her up, he then reached for Darcy's coat and put that on and carried her out to the car and settled Darcy into her car seat, Mouch got into the passenger seat grinning from one ear to the other and smiled at his wife, even if he couldn't tell anyone that Darcy was his granddaughter by marriage and Cassie was his daughter by marriage, nothing and no one would be able to wipe that look of sheer delight from his face for a very long time.

Meanwhile the FBI agent and Hank Voight were in a intense debate about Cassie going undercover, for three reasons they wanted either Hailey or Kim to do the undercover operation, one they weren't just seriously injured in a bomb explosion, two they didn't have a seven month old baby to deal with and three they weren't returning to New York where their parents, sister and brother in law were buried, FBI Agent Baylor really wasn't keen at all with Hank's choice, this was why now they were in a deep debate.

"The accident was unfortunate, but once she's recovered Detective Mitchell will be the best to go undercover with Officer Ruzek, I have every faith in my officers"

"That's the thing Sergeant Voight Miss Mitchell is not a Detective, she's a firefighter slash paramedic that was seconded to you, send her back, Detective Upton can go in her place"

"Are you the one who's going to tell Detective Mitchell she'll be off the case?"

"No as your officer that's up to you"

"I'm afraid if you don't want Detective Mitchell on this case then you have to bite the bullet and tell her and I'd love to be a fly on the wall to that conversation. You seem to forget that in her short time with the Intelligence unit she's been a great asset to us and as for her Detective status that wasn't just given to her for the sake of the case, she earned that in the short period of time. It wasn't my order to make her a Detective that came from the most senior Police Chief of the CPD, so before you slander Detective Mitchell's name get to know her and you'll find she's a fantastic officer and I couldn't be happier to have her on my team"

"Voight this isn't up for debate, Mitchell doesn't go"

"I think you'll find this is up for debate and some jumped up arsehole isn't going to stop this from happening, you might be an FBI Agent but she's a fine officer of the CPD and CFD, so get out of my unit and my station"

"Your station? This isn't your station"

Hank picked up the phone "Want to argue with that too?"

Agent Baylor relented and stood up and left the office of Voight and then the station, Hank grabbed his mobile and text Trudy about Agent Baylor and waited for her reply, he then got a reply.

Tell that ungrateful little shit bag that Cassie has worked hard for this and does he want to take me on?

No, I handled it, I've got our girl.

Hank seriously what did you do?

Nothing just told him that it wasn't up for debate with Cassie going undercover.

Look calm down with the overprotective brother routine, it's getting old.

Trudy you know that never will happen, I hate dad just as much as you do for what he did to Cassie and Oliver, but I think I've found Oliver.

If this is some kind of joke Hank it's not funny.

Trudy I mean it, he's a dispatcher for the CFD, Ollie Hicks.

Oh my god, really?

Yes really, have I ever lied to you since we met at your twenty first birthday?

Actually no, you've always been there, you even tried to stop dad from taking Cassie and Oliver.

Yeah and I took a punch to the face and was dumped out of the family for it, dad was a controlling old man and he never deserved happiness with either one of our moms, how's Mouch taken it?

Really well actually, he adores Darcy, he's currently bathing her and about to get her ready for bed, we're going up to the hospital to see Cassie tomorrow, he wants to meet his daughter, yes I know not blood daughter, but you tell Randall to call her step daughter and he'll shove his Halligan down your throat.

Noted Grandma.

Wipe that smirk off your face Henry, I'm too young to be a Grandma, maybe a momma but that won't happen until I tell Cassie that I'm her birth mom.

And when are you going to tell her?

Not yet and I've not even telling Randall that your my half brother from our dads first relationship, if you could call it a relationship with your mom.

You're not wrong, I was four years old when he turned round and told my mom he had a daughter with another women, you must have been only eight months old at the time?

That's what mom said, I'm sorry if my existence caused you pain Hank.

Don't ever think that way, I'm happy I work with my sister and my niece, hence my overprotective behaviour towards you, do you think anyone's noticed?

Noticed? They wouldn't notice if you plastered our DNA in neon flashing lights in the middle of the bullpen, well actually Hailey, Jay, Antonio and Cassie would, maybe Kim if she stopped kissing Atwater long enough, anyway I'm heading off, got to get my granddaughter into bed, night Hank.

Night Trudy.
