Summer In The City. CSI MIAMI FIC part 4

well...let's do it then.

"We need to talk" said Alexx crossing her arms on her chest. Speed knew it's bad.
"So..let's talk. What is it about?"
"Sample please" she said giving him the container. He laughed "You're joking right?" He looked angry.
"No. Now, Tim".
"I'm clean. "
"You're not, and we both know it.
Give me the sample or tell me what it is. "
"Alexx.. It's nothing. I promise".
"You're gonna be a father, maybe within the days.and you're lying like a teen. What is it?" She handed him the container He shook his head." Oxicodon".
"What? Why?"
"I still feel pain Alexx. I can't stand it. I can't function. "
"With the hand?"
"Yeah. And in my chest. And it's not the heart."
"I want you to stop it. Now- Tim. Or I'll tell Horatio and that will be the smallest of your problems. Now. Urine sample and the pills please. " He passed her the small container and went to the bathroom. Leaving the sample on the table in the morgue he left to check in. H. Was standing there, watching him closely. "You're ok?"
"Yeah. I'm just tired. Still waiting for the information about Court and the baby. I'm a bit confused."
"I know. Let's process the samples. "
They were working for 6 hours and were almost done when Tim's phone flashed.
"Speedle? It's Martinson. Your favourite doc. Your wife is at labour. Hurry up."
He took of his coat and rushed to the hospital. Martinson was waiting in ER." Come quickly. We must deliver it as soon as possible. She's got a huge blood pressure".
"Shall I change? "
"No time for that. Put this on. It's gonna be c section as she finally had seizures and was sedated. You can come in and hold her hand. They will probably pass the baby to you when it's born."
He entered just onto preparing the stomach to be open. Sat down and held her hand.' It will be alright baby, hold on. '
He was watching them operating on her. Everything was so quiet. He thought it's gonna be like in movies- screams of the woman, then a baby, nervous atmosphere.... Instead it was deadly quiet. In 20 mins he heard the doc saying 'it's a girl' and he looked this way for the first time. The nurse took the baby up and gave it a little punch. The doc didn't mention cutting the cord and he remembered that it's not possible while the c section. The nurses showed him the baby- what he noticed was a bunch of hair. Then he just couldn't take his eyes of his wife, just lying there. When he heard the gentle crying he got up and followed it- the nurse was holding the baby. She just simple passed it to him
He held his daughter for the first time, feeling so deeply grateful for her. He couldn't enjoy the moment for long as he was still thinking about his wife, sedated and motionless. The doctor took Ava and Speed followed him to check on her.
"Wow...She's quite big -36 weeks... 3.4 kilo and 62 cm... congratulations" He decided to look at her closely. She was so...hairy. The nurse dried her hair with a towel and she looked...well..like a little monkey.
"Ava, sweetie, mommy will soon hold you. "
"Not so fast " the nurse said. "We must stabilize her at first. It will be better sir if you take some time with the baby and let us do our job. "
He nodded and approached the crib once again. The baby,wrapped in white clothing slept peacefully. Ava. Not the baby-Ava.

"Mr Speedle?"
"Yes?"
"We're gotta talk...can you meet me at my office? It's rather urgent".
"Yeah sure...is she safe here? Is she ok? She's not crying.
"C section infants don't cry so much at the beginning. She's also a bit affected by the sedation. So leave her to the nurses and let's talk. " Speed touched her head and followed the doctor.
"Mr. Speedle... We don't actually know what's going on with your wife. We're trying to wake her up, but it's not happening. Nothing seems wrong, but she remains unconscious...we're conducting examinations. Is there anyone we can call? To help you at that point?"
"I'll call my mom."
"Ok. I'll let you know if anything changes. Meanwhile it would be great if you could hold and feed the baby. She needs parent's touch."
"Yeah. Sure. I'll make a call and Be back ok?" He stormed out. In the hall he sat on the floor. He was desperate. Courtney was unconscious,  and  Ava needed her. He needed her. So badly... Gee.. What was he going to do???
He opened up the cell and dialed. "Alexx... I'm a father. "
"That's great, love!! Congratulations!" He stayed silent what surprized her greatly. "Timmy? Hey!"
"Yeah..."
"What's going on??? Tim? "
"Shes's unconscious. Doesn't want to wake up..."
"Ava????"
"No...Courtney... She's... Alexx...I'm gonna lose her... Alexx.."
"I'm coming. Where are you?"
"At the neonatal ward"
"Is she ok? The baby"?
"Yeah...she's beautiful.. Alexx... What am I gonna do?"
"Everything's fine. Everything's gonna be ok." She hung up.
He came back with his eyes sore. He wanted to see her so badly, but the baby needed him, his daughter. He entered the room and the nurse gave him Ava.
"Can you feed her? Have you ever fed a baby?"
"Yeah. I can. Thank you."
"Here's the chair you can sit on. "
"Thanks. She's so quiet... "
"Yes she is...she's a cutie...beautiful hair, just like yours."
"Thanks." He sat in the chair.
Ava started swallowing the milk very quickly. My girl... He thought. Courtney wanted to beastfeed her.. She will. She surely will.
The door opened and Alexx stopped in the doorway. she had a quick look at Speed holding the baby.

"Timmy.... " She came closer and hugged him. "She's so beautiful..
Looks just like you "she smiled. But this very moment he did a thing she would never suspect him to do- he started crying. His shoulders were shaking a bit, and the baby stopped drinking and opened her eyes.
"Baby...everything's gonna be fine. You'll see..." He hugged him close. "Take care of your wee one. I'm close, be right back." Leaving the room she looked at him once more- he looked completely broken.
