I had a perfect Christmas

I had a perfect Christmas. I had spent the morning with my dad, Justin and his family. Dad stayed with Justin and his little family they wanted me to stay but they weren't doing anything spectacular. I ended up just going home. Will had shown up and practically forcibly removed me from my apartment. Jay and I had barely spoken about the day just that we would spend the night together, so when Will showed up to their fathers place with me it was a surprise. It ended up being a perfect Christmas the best she had since her mother passed.

It a been a few days. We were in the six days after Christmas to New Years, when you don't know what day it is or when it is or anything. I had been staying home just eating relaxing not knowing what's happening. But then I heard something that made me sit up. Made me stop. I suddenly began to become aware of my stomach. I could feel waves of pain, Will had warned me I might get cramping to not worry unless it's consistent and I start to bleed or leak in anyway. I had run out of my apartment with my phone and keys I don't even know if I locked the door.

I saw cops everywhere some guy I didn't know tried to get me to move when I rushed up to the desk. I groan in pain "Delilah what are...are you ok" I rub my slightly swollen stomach "yeah yeah Will said it's fine I heard about the cops and naturally no one is answering their phones so I came here" she instructs someone to watch the desk and walks with me up the steps "I didn't even try ring them I was to scared to" "you need to calm down this can't be good for the baby and your baby is already at risk" she punches in the code opening the gate. "They are all fine. They are just out in the field" she said leading to the empty bullpen. I stand there rubbing my stomach reading the board. "You know it was my worst nightmare" I knew Trudy was still there, she wouldn't leave until they came back. I rub my hand over the photos of the two dead cops silently praying they make it back ok. "Justin use to sit with me when we were younger because I was so scared dad wouldn't come home we didn't want to worry mum or that dad would come home to tell me Uncle Al didn't make it" I rub my stomach feeling another wave of pain. "Then Erin joined and now I know everyone and Jay" I smile sadly "I made mum swear then Justin after she died. I didn't want dad or Uncle Al knowing the full extent of everything I was scared if they were to busy worrying about me they wouldn't focus properly and end up getting killed...I didn't even tell Jay every detail because I was scared" I groan clutching the whiteboard careful not to rub anything out. Trudy jumps out moving a chair behind me allowing me to sit down.

I heard thunderous footsteps and loud voices bouncing off every wall. I sip my water that trudy had got me with my shaky hands. I knew I needed to pay Will a visit but I needed to see them first. I had just been listening to Trudy order people around she had been working from up here. "Lilah what are you doing here you ok" Jay asks me worried causing me to smile "I'm ok I was worried about you guy" "you could have called" "she doesn't call she just appears" Uncle Al said walking around hugging me tightly "how is my favourite goddaughter" "I'm fine uncle Al" he nods kissing my head "just heard the conference and panicked oh god I don't know if I closed my door" "wouldn't be the first time you left a house with the door open" Dad said smirking I just hold him tightly "I'm fine we all are" I nod taking a deep breath I step back he places his hands on my shoulders looking at me sternly "right now I need you to drive over to med you can't drive I will have someone drive" I begin to shake my head "De I know how much you don't want to I know you want to be here with us but I can't be worrying about you and my grandchild on top of finding this cop killer" I nod tears in my eyes I knew he was right. I knew I needed to go. "You make sure you know you and Al call me even if it's good news" he nods kissing my head. It wasn't until later that I probably should have told Jay to call. I sent him a text sitting in my car telling to stay safe, that I loved him and to call when it's over and I would send him a message with what's happening.

"Delilah what you doing here" Will asks confused "Um" I rub my stomach Will looks down at my hand "it's been happening since I found out there's a cop killer out there" he nods me quickly leading me into a room calling Natalie. "You don't have to stay I'll make sure you know what's going on" I tell him "don't be here if they need you out there" he smile "I know where I'm needed" he states sternly. I watch them moving about I couldn't hear a word of what they were saying until I heard Natalie say "everything is fine just stress and because of all the other issues it seems worse" I sigh "I knew it but dad guilted me pretty sure Jay would have as well if my dad and uncle Al hadn't hogged me" I smile rubbing my stomach "so the tightness and cramps" "as far as I can tell stress" Natalie answered making me smile and nod "you can message me if your concerned" Will said as Natalie walks out to get my discharge papers "I'll be messaging every five minutes I'm sure you peaked at my medical history" he nods "I don't mind" "you don't know wait till it starts to annoy you jay doesn't know everything I also don't think he understands half of what I told him...he made out he did but I know he doesn't get it. He doesn't get that some days it feel like acid burning my skin when someone touches me. Somedays I have a completely different personality to the one I had yesterday. I can explode at the smallest things, whether that means I cry like the day my mother died or scream in anger, Im beyond clingy, sometimes I barely sleep waking up from nightmares I get sleep paralysis at least twice a week. I sometimes feel like I can't breath that my life is suffocating me so I just run away because I dont have the function to reach out or fix it. I zone in a focus on this so intently that the rest of the world disappears, I have trouble recognising some emotions people usually think I believe their feelings don't matter...I don't think he gets it and I don't want to put to much on him" I had tears in my eyes "that's not even half my dad doesn't know everything but Jays there all the time I can't hide all my quirks from him" I sigh running my hand through my hair "he moved my cup Will he moved it I almost threw it at him, his slowly rearranging things I think he moved my couch actually I know someone moved it he doesn't make the bed right and it makes me want to strangle him I'm slipping and I'm so scared" "relax Delilah I'll talk to him makes sure he gets some of your quirks" he gives me a look "his probably picked up a lot by just being around you. Your all he talks about he loves you don't give all that up for fear. He wants to give you the world and you deserve that and so much more. Be patient with him or try to be if something happens call me actually you will probably call your brother or Erin. Can you just promise me to call Erin I think your brother might want to kill him and I honestly don't want my brother dead" I chuckle "hey your smart and kind just believe in yourself and believe in him because I know for a fact he isn't giving you up anytime soon just let him know all of you a chance" Will said making me nod "thank you" I said standing up grabbing my things "for what" "for being kind I haven't known you all that long but clearly long enough for you to give me awesome advice and be my friend" I hug him smiling before walking out planning on going to find jay.
