5 months later. Aurora is full term.
Aurora's PoV:
Connor, as usual, forgot his lunch. I pull up at med and walk inside,
"Hey there mama." Maggie chuckles
"Hey, Connor forgot his lunch." I exclaim, rubbing my stomach, a pain shooting through.
"You ok Rory?" She asks
"Yeah. Baby H is being a pain." I chuckle.
Connor and I have decided on a name but we only tell people the first name.
"Can I have a hint?" She asks
"Nope!" I smile before wincing in pain
"You sure you're alright?" Maggie asks
"Yeah." I whisper in pain, before liquid splashes down my dress, "nope. She's coming."
"Alright. Dr Manning, help me get Aurora into a wheelchair and up to Maternity. Baby's coming!" Maggie calls out.
Nat runs over with a wheelchair. I sit down and Nat wheels me up to Maternity. I get her help to change and then settle on the bed. Contractions hit me hard.
"Where is Connor?" I ask, panting
"I've paged him, he's on his way." Nat grabs my hand softly.
I cry out in pain. Connor runs in.
"Hey baby." He runs to my side, gripping my hand, "squeeze the pain into me."
I scream in pain and squeeze his hand hard. Dr Patchevsky, My OB enters.
"Hey Aurora, let me check your dilation." She smiles and checks it, "you're crowning. Wow. Baby girl is ready to go. On the next contraction, push!"
A contraction comes and I push as hard as I can, squeezing Connor's hand.
"Again." Patchevsky orders
Another contraction, Another push. I repeat again. Cries echo through the room. A baby girl is lain on my chest.
"I did it Connor." I pant, sweat dripping down my forehead.
"Can we know the name yet?" Natalie asks
"No, you must wait. Till Will, Jay, and my other three girls are here." I tell them.
"Can we take her to get cleaned?" A nurse, Clara, asks kindly
"Of course Clara." I gently pass Baby H to her.
She softly walks out with the, now crying, baby. I pout.
"What is it?" Connor asks
"My baby is crying." I tell him
"It's ok Aurora." He kisses my head.
At that moment, Jay and the three girls walk in.
"Where's the baby?" Alessia asks
"Getting cleaned." I tell her as she hugs me.
Will walks in and gives Nat a kiss before walking over to me.
"Hey you." He kisses my cheek, "how are you?"
"Sore." I mumble as Clara brings back in my baby, who is still crying, "my baby."
Clara passes me her gently. She calms instantly in my arms. I softly sing a lullaby.
"What's her name?" Kira asks
"This is Hollynn Aria Rhodes." I exclaim
"Sissy." Maya points
"Yeah. Hollynn." I tell her, "or holly."
"Holly!" Maya smiles
"She is adorable." Nat smiles
"Uh, Will, Nat, we want you to be her godparents." I exclaim
"Of course." Nat replies
"Hi Aurora." I turn when I hear the voice.
There stands my father, Michael.
"Nat, can you take the kids to the playground or cafeteria." I ask, "Connor, Will, Jay! Stay."
Natalie herds the girls out of the room. Hollynn cries. I pull down my gown slightly and let Hollynn feed.
"Do I not get a hi?" Michael asks
"What do you want Michael?" I ask
"I am your father." He growls
"You lost that right years ago. When you left. I was 16, my mom just died and I was 2 months pregnant!" I reply angrily.
"I am still your dad!" He tells me
"No. You are not. You weren't the moment it all started." I exclaim, tearing up.
"When what started?" He asks
"The abuse. The touching? The verbal berating?" I ask, crying, "I hated you for every second!"
"What did you do to my sister?" Jay asks, getting protective.
"She ain't your sister, you guys just stole her." Michael growls as Jay goes to punch him, only to be stopped by Will.
"Get out." I scream in tears, "Jay. Will. Michael. All of you."
Jay drags Michael out of the room and Will follows, shutting the door. I break down into tears. Connor wraps his arms around me.
"Shhhh! You're ok baby," he whispers soothingly, "I'm so sorry that happened Rory."
I nod and start to calm down. Connor runs circles on my back. Nat knocks and opens the door. I see the three girls with her but Kira is crying. She runs for me. Connor takes Holly into his arms. Kira climbs on the bed and dives into my arms, sobbing. I wrap my arms around her.
"Hey, what's up Kira?" I ask her.
"Mommy." She sobs, clinging to me, "they're here."
"Who baby?" I ask, a little shocked she called me mommy.
"My old parents." She tells me.
I look to Connor, worried.
"They are standing outside. They want to talk to you." Nat speaks up.
"Alright. Send them in." I shrug, keeping a tight arm around Kira.
Nat opens the door and a woman and man walk in. They are dressed in fancy clothes.
"Why do you have our daughter?" The woman asks
"She is my daughter," I growl, protectively, "you abandoned her with a sitter. You treated her like trash. You didn't include her in insurance, she is the brightest little girl. You weren't around to see it. You didn't care."
"Can we at least talk to Kira?" The man asks
"Kira,do you want to talk to them sweetie?" I ask her.
She shakes her head and burrows further into my side.
"Our daughter doesn't want to talk to you." Connor tells the couple
"Fine." They storm out of the room.
"They are gone now Kira," I murmur
"Thanks mommy and daddy." Kira mumbles
"You're welcome Kira" Connor replies
Dr Patchevsky walks in, "hey Aurora. You and baby Hollynn are good to go."
"Thanks." I smile as she exits my room.
Connor buckles Hollynn into her car seat. I get changed with the help of Connor. We walk out and I carry Hollynn's car seat. We walk into the ED.
"There's the pretty girl." Maggie runs over as I put Hollynn's car seat on a desk, "she's adorable."
"Meet Hollynn Aria Rhodes." I tell her
"You guys did well," Maggie chuckles
"Thanks mags. Well, we're gonna go. I'm on maternity leave till she is about 6 months." I reply
"I've got 3 months." Connor replies
Maggie nods and we leave. I clip Hollynn's car seat into the car. I remember the older kid's car seats are Connor's car.
"Alright kiddos. You're gonna have to go with daddy." I tell Kira and Maya, "Lessi, you can decide who you go with."
"I'll go with dad." Alessia exclaims
I nod and climb into my car. I shut my door and start driving home. I park and notice Connor isn't here yet. I shrug it off as traffic. I take Hollynn inside. I give her a quick feed and then put her in her bassinet. I sit in the lounge room downstairs. I notice it's been 30 minutes since I arrived and I call Connor. It goes to voicemail.
"Hey Connor. Are you almost home? I'm a little worried." I record before ending the voicemail.
I take a little nap. I am woken up by Hollynn. I walk upstairs and lift her out of her bassinet. I change her and take her downstairs with me. I hold her against my chest. I notice I had a 2 hour nap and the others still aren't home. I call Connor again. Voicemail.
"Hey Connor. Baby. Please. Answer. I'm really worried." I exclaim.
I wait another hour before deciding to go and see Jay. I take Hollynn to the car and buckle her in. I grab the carrier and chuck it in the passenger front seat. I drive to the 21st. I hop out, grab the carrier and gently place Holly in it. I walk inside. Trudy sees me.
"Aww. You had the baby." She smiles
"Yeah, Hollynn Aria Rhodes." I smile, kissing my daughter's head.
"Connor must be proud." She chuckles
"Uh, that's actually why I am here. Are they in?" I point to the intelligence gate.
"Yeah. Go ahead." She exclaims
I walk up the stairs and Trudy unlocks the gate. I head up. Jay sees me.
"Rory. Hey." He hops up, "how's my little niece?"
"She's ok." I exclaim, fingers playing with the hem of my top, rocking on my feet.
"What's going on?" He asks, noticing the movements, "you only do that when you're scared or nervous."
"I got home from the hospital almost 4 hours ago and Connor had the three girls and they never arrived. I've left numerous voicemail. He didn't answer. I'm scared Jay." I tell him.
At that moment Voight walks out and sticks something on the board.
"We've got a case. Car accident near Chicago med. car found empty. Looks like people were dragged from the car. Potential kidnapping." Voight exclaims
I recognise the car, "Connor!"
"Oh, Aurora." Voight turns around.
"That's Connor's Car. He had Kira, Alessia and Maya with him. Oh my god!" I explain
"Rory. Sit down." Jay gives me his seat.
I sit down.
"Alright. This is family now. We work this case hard." Voight orders, "Atwater, Ruzek, head to the scene, Jay you're too close to this. You're off the case."
"Sarge. You know as well as I do, these are my nieces and my future brother in law. I am not backing off." Jay protests
"You're right. Just, Don't do anything crazy, please!" Voight reasons
Jay nods.
"Aurora, a word?" Voight asks
I get up and walk into his office.
"Yeah?" I ask him
"Anyone who'd want to hurt you or your family?" Voight asks, closing the door.
"Oh my god, Michael!" I gasp, "he came to the hospital earlier. Jay dragged him out of my room."
"Alright." Voight sighs and pats my back softly.
I hop up and walk out, "Jay, I'm heading home."
"Alright Rora." He kisses the top of my head and then kisses Holly's head, "bye Holly."
I smile gently and then exit. I wave goodbye to Trudy then head home. I lay in bed with Hollynn beside me. She starts to cry. I try feeding her, changing her. I'm pretty sure she just wants dada and her sisters. I start to rub circles on the top of her chest softly. I do it with all the kids when they're upset. She slowly calms down and falls asleep. I go to sleep too.A/N: sorry it's so looooooooooong.
