Running from the past

What are you talking about?

"Where's that looser?" Antonio asks Ariel as he looks around the gym. "I'm here, you thought I wasn't coming huh?!" They both turn around to see Jimmy all dressed up to box with Antonio, Hermann was standing next to Borelli as his coach. "Antonio... I don't think this is a right thing to do..." Ariel places her hand on Antonio's bare muscled arm. "Don't worry baby." Jimmy sends Antonio an evil expression. "What's your fucking problem huh?!"
"Calm down Dawson!" Roman turns up with a smile on his lips, he pats Antonio's shoulder. "Yeah, we don't want the little baby to cry!" Gabriela shows up with Antonio's kids. "Papi, como estas?" Ariel see a tall slim girl, hugging Antonio, next Gabriela there's a quiet boy with the same facial expression as Antonio's. "Mi vida, did auntie Gaby stop to buy you kids ice cream after all?" The two kids nod happily as they both hug their dad. "Kids, this is my partner Ariel."
"Hi Ariel, I'm Eva and this is my little brother Diego!" Eva shakes hands with Ariel as Diego hides behind Antonio. "Son don't be shy, she won't eat ya!" They all laugh. "Hi little man!" Ariel bends on her knees waiting for Diego to high-five. "Hi."
"When is this match starting?!" Jimmy asks nervous, he wants to punch his face many times for going to bed with Ariel. "Aw can't wait to get defeated kid?" Antonio jokes him around to make the right atmosphere. "No, I can't wait to win!"
"I promise I won't be hard on you..." Hermann laughs shaking his head. "I'm afraid he doesn't need that, Antonio." They both go on the ring as the bells rings one time. Antonio looks around to see all the firehouse and the district here to see them box. He quickly notices Ariel sitting in front with Nadia and Erin. "Play it easy guys or else I will call this match over!" They both nod looking in the eyes as Mouch speaks. "Are you ready to get your ass broken?" Jimmy whispers as Antonio gives a quick stare again at Ariel who is waving. "Kid, she loves me not you!"
"Fight!" The bell rings and the boys get ready to box. Jimmy moves around to get the best shot ever and Antonio is careful on every move he makes. Ariel has sweat running down her face, the tension is too much and she is scared that they will hurt each other. "Are you alright?" Nadia asks taking hold of Ariel's hand on her knee. "I'm not! I'm scared someone will get hurt!" Erin laughs. "Ariel, don't worry, Antonio is a great boxer and Jimmy... well... he's a good kid!" The three ladies laugh making Ariel's nerves calm down slowly. "Ariel..." She turns around feeling a hand on her shoulder. She turns around to face her boss, Hank Voight. "Hey Sarge, what can I do for you?" Ariel notices something isn't right because Voight has a serious expression on his face. "Can I talk to you in private?" She looks at Erin and Nadia who are confused, she nods and walks outside the gym with Voight. The two boxers starts to get into action as Antonio sends a punch straight onto Jimmy's face, making him fall down backwards. "Get up! Get up!" Hermann shouts from the opposite side of the ring, Gabriela is standing behind her big brother. "What did you do?!" She shouts as Antonio jumps around for the victory. "I won!"
"Look what you did! He's on the floor!" Antonio continues to jump up and down for the happiness. He stops noticing Ariel isn't sitting on the chair anymore, he looks around finding her but Ariel is no where to see. "Fuck off bastard!" Jimmy punches Antonio with an incredible force on his face, he falls down, almost tired. "Get up!" Roman shouts, Antonio is too weak to get up but at the same time, he wants to win the match. His thoughts go to Ariel too, where can she be? Why did she leave?

"Sergeant is everything ok?" Voight looks down, afraid of how Ariel could react to the bad news. "They shot your mum." Ariel covers her mouth with her hands. "When did this happen? Why? Where?" Voight places his hand on her arm. "Calm down, we will get the first flight to New York. I'm coming with you, Ariel. You will not face this on your own, you understand me?" Ariel nods bursting out in tears, she falls into Voight's arm crying. "It's ok, she is a strong woman!"

"Where's Ariel?" Antonio holds his head as it aches, Jimmy really punch him so bad. Antonio feels dizzy, he tries many times to stand up but fails falling back on the chair. "Are you ok?" Gabriela asks lifting his chin up. "I just asked where Ariel is!" Jimmy comes towards them with a victorious expression, he throws the towels on the other chair that he had on his shoulder and crosses his arms. "Sorry old man, you can't always win! I bet Ariel ran away disgust as you were boxing!" Atwater shows up being the thought guy, he stands in front of Jimmy. "Get the fuck out!" He raises his arms in the air and walks away. "Antonio, Voight just called me! Him and Ariel are at the airport flying to New York." Antonio's eyes widen as Jay announces the news. "New York?!" He nods. "Olivia Benson has been shot and they are flying there. Voight said that you are in comand while he's away with Blue." Antonio is in shock, he wanted to know, he wanted to help, he wanted to fly with Ariel and not making Voight go.

New York

"Hello, I'm Detective Benson's daughter, Ariel Blue. Where is she?" Voight and Ariel stop at the information desk, Ariel speaks up looking at the woman looking on the computer. "She is in room B34."
"Thanks!" Voight says as he grabs Ariel's hand, they go straight to the room but notice all her family there. "Oh here she is! My favourite one!" Ariel is greeted with an enormous hug from Detective Finn Tutuola. "Hey Finn, I missed you so much!" They break up from the hug and there's Rollins, standing still with her arms open. "Hello little one!" They both hug tight, someone at the back coughs making the two girls turn around. "Nick!" He was trying to say something but Ariel charges like Flash into Nick Amaro's arms. "How are you feeling?"He whispers in her ear, she faces him in the eyes. "I'm ok, what about you?" He looks down at his black shoes, Ariel knows what he was about to say. "I missed you, Ariel." Ariel smiles looking down. "Hello, I'm Doctor Zined. Is there a member of the family here?" Ariel turns around waking up to the doctor. "Hi, I'm Ariel Blue, her daughter. Doc, what happend to her?" She asks, Voight runs to her side putting am atom around her waist. "You're mother is a strong woman, a man shot her at the leg. She is now awake and asking about you guys..." Ariel takes out a deep breath that she had inside since she knew the news from her boss. "Did the bullet cause something? Is she ok?" Nick walks up to Ariel,  putting his hand on her shoulder. "Hey, don't worry... if she wasn't ok, she wouldn't be talking too much as she usually does!" They all smile at Nick's phrase, the doctor walks away saying goodbye. "I'll go inside then... Voight?" He turns to look at Blue. "Yes?"
"Could you come in with me?"
"Why?" He was shocked from the question she just asked, why did Ariel want him in with her? "To thanks you for everything you did for me and I'm sure mum wants to see you." He nods, they both walk in. "Sweety!"
"Mum!" Ariel runs to Olivia's side, she wrapped her arms around her neck, squeezing her making Olivia loose her breath. "I can see you've missed me huh?" Voight is standing in front of the bed, hands in his pocket and looking at the lovely scene between mother and daughter. It remembers him of Camille, a bright, beautiful and intelligent woman. When Camille died of cancer, Voight was working a case with Olivia. That's how the two met each other.
"Did you miss me?" Olivia smiles, planting many kisses on her cheek. "Mum, my sergeant is here." Ariel pints out shyly, she nods laughing. "Hey Olivia, how do you feel?"
"Like shit, my leg terribly hurts!" Hank sits on the side of the bed, Ariel is holding, instead, Oliva's hand standing up. "How is my sweetheart doin down in Chicago?" Voight stares at Ariel who is red in the face. "She's an excellent cop, you must be proud of you daughter." Olivia smiles thinking of Ariel that wanted to be a cop since she was a little girl. "I guess I'm just like my dad then..." The room fall in a deep silence, Olivia is now in deep shit. "Ehm... Ariel... There's something I need to tell you..." Olivia finds difficult to speak, she doesn't want to hurt Ariel's feelings. "I will wait outside." Voight says with his risky voice pointing at the door. "No. This concerns you too, Hank." Voight was surprised as Olivia called him from his first name, she always called him Hank. "Ariel... your father is Hank Voight..." as Olivia finishes the last two words, Ariel looks directly at Voight who is shocked himself. "What are you talking about mum?" She asks, she makes steps back to touch the wall. "Olivia what are you saying?" Olivia lets a small tear run down her face. "Hank, Ariel is your daughter. I never told you because Camille just died and I thought it was tough for you to have a daughter with another woman." She says in her cry, Voight passes a hand through his hair. "Are you sure I'm his daughter?" Olivia simply nods without saying a word. "I must get some air, now!"
"Ariel!" She runs out of the room as her mother calls her, she walks outside passing her friends in the corridor. She sits on the wall, thinking of her life and what else will come in surprise. This secret, made Ariel nearly faint on the floor. Ariel never saw her father and when she asked about him, Benson was always superficial on what to say. On Ariel's 7th birthday, a terrible news came: her father died in a mission. That day had destroyed Ariel's heart into pieces, only time healed her from the hurt of looking her dad. "Ariel, what's wrong?" Nick sits beside Ariel, she has a weird, pale, no emotion expression. "Ariel, please talk to me!" She turns around to face Nick, deadly in the eyes. "Did you know that Hank Voight was my father?" Nick remained in silence, yes he knew all this time. "Nick! Did you or did you not know Hank Voight was my father?" He doesn't answer for the shame. "Don't talk to me again, you are dead for me Nick!"
