Scott Forrester's Apartment, Budapest Hungary
Arizona stood in the bathroom staring at both the pregnancy tests she took. Both tests sat beside each other reading the same thing 'Pregnant 5-6 Weeks' Her breath was shaky as she stared at them. Not that she didn't believe the doctor from the clinic but she wanted to see for herself and she'd like to have some sort of proof if she was going to tell Scott since he was the only person she was sleeping with for the past 6 weeks at least.
She let out a sigh as she put both positive tests back in the box and set them in the drawer under the sink. She'd show Scott when he got home, Arizona told herself as she made her way out of the bathroom and got Tank's leash before clipping it to his collar. Arizona and Tank made their way out of the apartment, locking the door behind them as they made their way toward one of the many parks around the city.
Arizona and Tank spent the afternoon walking through Budapest as she tried to find the right words to tell Scott. In a matter of 9 months, their lives were going to change and she really wanted Scott to be a part of it.
Kopaszi-gat Park, Budapest Hungary
Arizona and Tank made their way through Kopaszi - Gat Park. One of the few parks in Budapest that sits along the Danube River. It had always been one of her favorite places in the city to go when she needed to think.
She started making her way through the park taking the paths along the river, a few minutes into her walk she noticed 2 men in suits were following her and Tank. Arizona kept walking for a few minutes ignoring them until she was sure they were following her. That's when she and Tank went down the path around a corner and hid in a bush off the path waiting for them to follow them.
Just as she suspected the 2 men followed down the path and paused where she disappeared. That's when Arizona and Tank stepped out of the bush, "Why are you following me?" she asked them crossing her arms. "Agent Parker and Sharp DEA," one of the agents said as they both showed her their badges. Both were official DEA badges and she instantly knew why they were following her, Gabriel Waincroft.
"Alright Agents Parker and Sharp, why are you following me and how can I help you so you can stop?" Arizona replied. "We want to offer you a deal on behalf of the Bureau," Agent Sharp replied. She got a bad feeling in her gut, the same one she got before she ran into Wo-fet and she knew something bad was coming. "A deal?" Arizona replied rhetorically as Agent Sharp handed her a folder, she instantly opened it and started reading getting through the first line before laughing out loud. "An undercover case with the Sinaloa Cartel?! That's comical," Arizona replied shaking her head. Both DEA Agents sent her an annoying smile, "That's completely your choice, however, if you don't help us you're looking at not only being fired from the Bureau, some pretty hefty charges and serious prison time," Agent Parker replied.
"On what charges?!?" Arizona scoffed toward him, "Aiding a cartel boss for the Sinaloa cartel, along with obstruction of justice in a federal investigation and withholding information," Agent Sharp replied. Arizona shook her head at them in disbelief, "What de lulu land are you both living in? I told you both that I don't know what Gabriel Waincroft is doing, not to mention we only know each other from our childhoods. So how the hell would I go undercover when he knows who I am, knows my dad was a detective and it's not hard to find out that I'm FBI between the Flyteam and BAU. It would be a suicide mission," Arizona replied. "We've read your record. You're a clever agent, you'll think of something. Or you'll spend the rest of your life in a Federal prison." Agent Parker replied.
"You have two days to give us an answer, we'll be in touch," Agent Sharp said as the two agents began walking away but paused and looked at her. "McGarrett, this conversation stays with us. I'd hate to see your friends at the FBI get transferred back to Quantico for endless analyst work while you spent your days in prison. How many serial killers do you think you'll run into? How long would you survive?" Agent Parker asked sending her an eerie smile before they both continued to walk away.
Scott Forrester's Apartment, Budapest Hungary
After the unsettling run in with the DEA, Arizona immediately took Tank back to Scott's apartment trying to figure out what to do. She set the file down on the counter and tried her hardest not to start sobbing. It's not like she knew anything about Gabriel Waincroft, nothing that would be important to the DEA. If she went undercover for the DEA to try to get Gabriel arrested and he found out she would be tortured and killed.
Or prison where she'd be shanked in the showers or her own cell within the first week. The DEA essentially asked her to sign her own death certificate. If she asked Scott or Uncle Dave for help it could cost them their careers. Tears starts falling down Arizona's cheeks as she tried to figure out what the fuck she was supposed to do.
Arizona took a deep breath, the DEA said anyone in the FBI who got involved would end up behind a desk a Quantico doing analyst work. That didn't mean she couldn't tell anyone just that they shouldn't get involved. Arizona picked up the file and walked over to the couch taking a seat as she wiped her tears away only to have more tears fall. She had 2 days to decide her the fate of how she dies, more tears fell from her eyes at the thought.
Tank whined as he walked over and rested his head on Arizona's lap. "I'm okay," she said barely above a whisper as she pet his head. She wiped her tears away only to have more fall as the sound of the apartment door opened and closed. Tank didn't move as Arizona wiped her tears and tried not to make it seem like she was crying. "Hey," Scott said as he kicked his shoes off by the door and walked over to the couch. "Hey," Arizona said forcing a smile as her voice cracked.
As Scott got closer to Arizona he could tell she'd been crying from her red eyes that still had tears in them and Tank had his head on Arizona's lap. "What's going on?" he asked softly as Arizona started crying even more as Scott pulled her into a hug. "I'm cooked.." Arizona said barely above a whisper as she cried. "I'm completely screwed," she added. "Ari, what happened?" Scott asked softly. "The DEA has me jammed up, and it's not looking good for me or anyone in the bureau that tries to help me," Arizona replied as more tears fell from her eyes. "What do you mean?" Scott asked as Arizona looked at him with tears falling from her eyes.
"If you try to help me they made it clear it would be career suicide- Ari, forget about the consequences to my career. What's going on?" Scott asked. "The DEA gave me a deal, a really shitty deal. I can go 'undercover' and help them arrest Gabriel Waincroft or I get kicked from the bureau, face heavy charges and serious Prison time for aiding a cartel boss, withholding information, and obstruction charges," Arizona explained as she shook her head.
Scott was shocked as his gaze fell to the file on the table. "Gabriel knows too much about your personal identity and that you and your family are law enforcement, this would be a death sentence," Scott said as he looked over the file. "I've put a lot of people in prison over the years Scott, many being serial killers and I wouldn't last a week in prison," Arizona said.
Scott pulled her into a hug, "It's gonna be okay... I'm gonna help you get through this," he said as Arizona pulled away from the hug. "I'll be right back," she told him as she got up and made her way into the bathroom and got the box before making her way back to the couch. "How did your visit with the doctor go?" Scott asked as she sat back down beside him and handed him the box.
Scott was confused for a moment and opened the box, looked at the two tests. He paused surprised as he looked at Arizona. "you're pregnant?" he asked her softly as Arizona nodded her head yes. Scott instantly started to smile and pulled her into a hug, crashing his lips on hers before he leaned down, lifted the bottom of her t-shirt, and placed a soft kiss on her stomach. "I love you, both of you, We're gonna get through this okay?" Scott said more then asked
