My Dream | A Chicago Med Fanfiction

Part 1

"Wow you can't be happy for me?" I rolled my eyes at her.

"You don't move in with a guy unless you are in a serious relationship, Bella." My mom yelled at me.

"Mom, we have been best friends since 1st grade. We both are living with each other because we both still have to pay for med school and apartments in Chicago are very expensive. Tell me one good reason why I shouldn't move in with him?" I tried to reason with her but it was no use.

"Gracelyn."

"Mom, we talked about this. She was going to stay with you until Connor and I get settled and then I come down and get her and her stuff."

"If you leave her here then we are going to fight for full custody."

"Mom."

"No Bella it is either take her or never see her again. I can't put up with this little kid's bullshit."

"Fine I'll take her." I take Gracelyn from my mom's arms and I pick up her diaper bag and put it on my shoulder.

How I'm going to tell Connor that I have a 4 year old. I couldn't believe my mom. I stomped out to my moms car and I grabbed Gracelyn's car set and made my way over to my Jeep and I slammed the door.

"How did it go?"

"Well, Connor, I have something to tell you. This is Gracelyn. She is my daughter."

"You're daughter?"

"Yeah and I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner but I just."

"You don't have to be sorry about anything."

"Okay. Come on let's get out of here."

I could tell that Connor was excited to move to Chicago with me and Gracelyn. When I asked why he had a huge smile on his face he said that he is an uncle. Connor starts driving away from my childhood house. Working in Chicago is a dream. Working there with Connor and Gracelyn was an even bigger dream. Connor has been my best friend since 1st grade. I know he is rich but that is not why he is my best friend. He gives everything away and keeps nothing for himself. When we got to the hotel. Me and Gracelyn checked us in then Connor brought our bags. When we got up to the room, Connor wasn't there yet. I just started crying with Gracelyn in my arms. Then Connor walks in.

"Hey, What's wrong?" I didn't want to talk about it but I knew that Connor was going to force me to. So I decided to talk.

"You know part of the reason why I moved right?" Connor nodded his head very slowly because he was trying to think if he knew all the reasons.

"Yeah because of your ex-boyfriend." I nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, Connor. I'm scared." Connor quickly came over to me and gave me a huge hug and said.

"Why are you scared? I'm right here?" I hesitated for a minute but I knew that I could tell Connor the truth. He was my best friend.

"He-He somehow got my new number, he texted me." I saw Connor's face go from worried to pissed off.

"What you got a whole new phone and phone number." I felt a little bit better that I told him, but it wasn't going to get him to stop.

"I know, I almost died last time. I need to be here for you and Gracelyn. I can't die" I started to cry. I was scared for my life, For Gracelyn's life.

"I know. Bella we have to tell the police." I know that I was holding off on telling the police for a long time but his threats sounded so real that I believed him.

"I know. He said that I would die if I told anyone it is bad enough that you know." I could feel a hand going through my hair. Connor did that whenever he was nervous.

"Bella we have to. How about before our shift we go down to the 21st district. I know someone down there that can help us." I know that he is right. I know that Connor would do anything to protect me.

"Okay. Love you Connor."

"Love you too Bella."

"Connor?"

"Yeah?"

"Who is going to watch Gracelyn while we are at work?"

"Well my grandma works at the 21 district so while we are there to report Jack. We can ask my grandma to watch her."

"Okay. Connor?"

"Yeah."

"Can me and Gracelyn sleep with you tonight."

"Of course you guys can. Come here."

I laid Gracelynn on one side of Connor and I laid my head on Connor's chest. He was my safe spot. I felt better that he was right next to me. I still can't get over the fact that, If i told the police that he would kill me. I met Jack on my 14th birthday at my mom's diner. He asked for my number so I gave it to him. I knew I shouldn't have but he seemed nice. A few days later I saw him on the bus, and he asked me to be his boyfriend. I said yes. We were dating for like 5 months. Then one day after school. I said that I couldn't hangout because I had a lot of Homework to do and that I was just going to go home. He dragged me by the arm to an old abandoned warehouse. He kicked me. Punched me but worse of all he. He raped me. I was too weak to push him off of me. After the first time he said that he was sorry and that he loved me. I believed him. After he fell asleep. I got all my stuff and I ran to Connor's house. I told Connor everything that happened. He said that we should tell the police but I insisted not to. It kept happening over and over. I felt Connor move.

"What are you doing up?" I was confused because normally I'm the first one up and then Connor wakes up complaining because I woke him up.

"Getting ready. We have to leave early, remember?"

"Oh yeah."

I take a shower and get ready. I put on Black ripped high waisted jeans with a Yellow v-neck shirt. I packed up all of my stuff and I woke up Gracelyn.

"Wake up baby girl we have to get ready to go see Grandma."

"Ok Mommy, what I'm I wearing?"

"You can wear your jeans and a hoodie, it is kind of chilly out." Gracelyn nodded her head. While the other two were getting ready I brought all of mine and Gracelyn stuff down to my Jeep.

"Connor, Are you ready?"

"Yeah just a minute."

"Wow you take longer to get ready then me and that is saying something."

"Hey"

"Come on let's go."

I take Gracelynn's hand and we walk down to my Jeep and put her in her car seat. We kept playing me and Gracelyn's favorite song over and over.

"I'm a sucker for you say the word and I'll go anywhere blindly." When we pull up to the 21st I get butterflies in my stomach.
