In My Head (Agent Severide Book 2)

Chapter 12

Cate ended up telling Severide a solid description of the man enough to get a sketch out. and it didn't take long for the BAU to arrest the married couple and their 10-year-old son for the kidnapping of Cate Hail. However, that wasn't what left Zoey with an eerie feeling on the flight back to Virginia. It was the fact the team suspected there was a whole community of people kidnapping young girls to marry their sons and continue the twisted cult of young twisted minds over decades across the entirety of the country. 

The Hilton, Quantico Virginia

It didn't take the team long to get back to the office to pick up their car keys and head home for the night. Zoey drove back to her hotel walking up to her room and unlocking the door and stepping inside when she notices another blank envelope on the floor like it had been slid under the door. The agent furrowed her eyebrow dropped her bag on the floor and retrieved the envelope ripping it open to find another note. 

'Locked up, but like a bird I'm free' 

The note sent chills down her spine, who was sending these and why? The sound of a knock on the door startled Zoey causing her to jump. She shoved the note in her bag before walking over to the door and looked through the peephole. 

Zoey pulled the door open as Jay walked in holding white Lillys, "Aw my favourite" she said smiling at him as he handed them to her. "Not that I don't love the surprise but what are you doing here?" Zoey asked. "Well I saw the case you were on and I know how hard cases with kids are so I figured... I'd fly out here and spend some time with my beautiful girl to cheer her up," Jay said causing Zoey to smile at him again. 

How was this man so perfect? Zoey thought. "So what kinda food do you wanna get? maybe some tequila?" he said pulling out a bottle of tequila. The sight made her stomach turn and she took off to the bathroom throwing up the contents of her stomach. "You okay Zo?" Jay asked as he walked in kneeling down to hold her hair back for her. "Ye-" the blonde was cut off by the violent sound of her throwing up. 

Zoey groaned sitting on the floor beside the toilet sweating from the violent motions. "Did you mention this to Will when you were at Med?" Jay asked her causing her to just start completely sobbing into her knees. The detective was extremely confused by the sudden change in emotion. "Hey, Zo what's wrong beautiful," he asked pulling the blonde into his hold as she just continued to cry. "I'll try to help, but you gotta tell me what's going on," he said rubbing her back. "Please don't hate me," she said softly confusing him. "Why would I hate you, I love you Zo," Jay said as the blonde sniffled. "Will called me when I was on the jet to Springfield, he said some of the results from my blood panel were off? and when he looked into it and Jay... I'm pregnant." Zoey said closing her eyes as more tears fell. 

She expected him to leave or get mad or even yell at her God knows Jack would've. "Why would I hate you for that? It's mine rights?" Jay asked causing Zoey to playfully hit his chest. "You're the only one I've fucked in the last year so. I'm almost certain." Zoey replied. "Wait you and Jack didn't?" Jay asked causing Zoey to laugh. "No he was too drunk to get it up or he was too angry, breaking everything until he passed out," she replied with a sigh looking at Jay. "I'm here every step of the way, we made this baby together and we're in this together," he said as he placed a kiss on her lips. "Now let's go get you two some food," Jay said helping Zoey on her feet as she smiled and pressed her lips to his moving their lips. 

"So have my baby's figured out what they want?" Jay asks pulling Zoey into an embrace. "I don't know I kinda wanna garlic bread but I'm also craving tacos," the blonde replied earning a smirk from the dark-haired detective. "Than we will get you both, how does that sound?" Jay asks her causing her heart to melt a bit. He wasn't upset at her for being so indecisive which was something Zoey became acustomed to after years of living with Jack. 

Zoey and Jay made their way out of the hotel and down to the parking garage by using the buildings elevator. "So which one's yours?" teh detective asked as they walked through the parking garage. That's when Zoey remembered Jay had never seen her car, she'd always fly home since the flight took 2 hours instead of an 18 hour drive taking most of the free time she could spend with her friends and family. 

A smirk played on Zoey's face as she looked at Jay while hitting teh unlock button on her key fob. The lights on her candy apple red camero flashed causing the detectives eyes to widen and a smirk to form on his face. "I should have known you'd have a camero. Are muscule cars a Severide gene too?" Jay asked with a smirk as they walked over to teh car. "Nah, more like an aquired taste, here" she said tossing teh keys in his direction. "For real?" he asked as she nods. "I just wanna relax, unless you don't wanna drive?" she asked him. "No no. I'll drive. You just rest" Jay said as he opened teh passenger door for his girlfriend shutting it once she was inside.

The detective walked around the car hopping in the driver's seat, "Could you get any closer to the wheel?" Jay asked as he climbed in the seat instantly being hunched up from how close the seat was to the dash board. "What? I'm short, fuck off" she replied with a laugh as her handsome boyfriend ajusted teh seat before starting the car. 

His face light up instantly as he drive out of the parking garage and onto the streets of Quantico heading to get some Garlic bread and tacos for his gorgous girl and unborn child. A smile played on his lips at teh thought of Zoey and him married some day with a small child running around their house. The detective always wanted to settle down one day and maybe have a family just with his job he couldn't seem to find the time to meet anyone let alone settle down. That was until Zoey walked into his life.
