Chapter 12

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N
If you skipped the last chapter because it was a bit violent, basically the two killers that the FBI were tracking, kidnapped Annalise and beat her up. At the moment she's trapped in a dark room with the the killers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The room was a blur as I saw three figures burst through the door. They ran towards my two captors and soon the criminals were on the floor. Two of the three figures were watching over the bodies of my captors while the third ran towards me. I was still tied to the chair and the pain everywhere was the worst I'd ever felt. I could feel the blood trickling down my head and from my mouth; my ribs and arms were bruised and I could barley stand on my shaky legs when they were untied.

"Jack!" I said with all the strength I could muster, but it probably came out as more of a whisper.

"Annie!" He replied, his warm hand cupped my cheek and the other went round my back to help me to stand.

My eyesight cleared and I could see Daniel coming towards me. His usually hard exterior and coldness towards me was gone and I could see the genuine concern in his face. He gently helped put an arm around me and the two of them helped support me walking a few a steps before my legs gave way and Jack had to fully support me to stand.

Soon I was being picked up and Jack didn't even break his stride carrying me out of the building. Merritt and Danny stayed behind to deal with the two men and the next thing I remember was waking up in my room in the institute.

Jack's POV
Annie was in my arms and it pained me to see her frail body so battered and bruised. She couldn't even stand and there was blood coming from her head and mouth. There were probably countless other injuries under her clothes. Danny and Merritt stayed behind to get the two men that did this to Annalise but my job was to get her straight home to the institute and clean her up.

One of the drivers from the FBI was here in minutes and once we were safely in the car, he wasted no time in getting us home - no questions asked. The drivers were loyal to the FBI and understood they could only know the bare minimum, or nothing at all on cases and their role was to transport agents safely and quickly.

I thanked the driver who nodded in return and even offered to help carry Annie with me which was kind but I declined and managed by myself. I got a lot of questions and people asking if they could help from the other agents but I needed to clean her up as soon as possible and it would be quicker if I did it myself.

Soon I was back in the room and Annie was still unconscious, so I lay her on the bed while I went to get a first aid kit and a wet cloth. I cleaned and sewed and bandaged her whole body for about an hour and even I was shocked at the damage inflicted on her. She was so young and brave and even though we were spies and trained to fight and get hurt - never had I seen an enemy be so ruthless.

Annalise needed rest and she was still asleep so I crawled into bed with her and held her in my arms.

Annalise's POV

"Morning beautiful," my boyfriend's familiar smile was the first thing I saw when I woke up.

My voice was scratchy and my throat was sore but I managed a small smile in return.

He got me some water and propped my pillows up so I could sit and face him on the bed.

"How are you feeling?"

I could feel the stitches in my head, my lip was cut and my cheek was slightly swollen but the pain in the rest of my body was reduced to a dull ache. The only thing I was worried about was my stomach - I still hadn't told Jack yet but now I was worried I might have lost the baby. Should I tell him?

"Better thank you," I replied.

"What's the matter? Do you need some more painkillers, baby? I can-"

"Jack- I- I'm pregnant." I blurted out. I couldn't do this alone and it was better to tell him now.

"Are- are you sure?" He stuttered.

I wiped my eyes and hoped he wouldn't be cross.

"I took the test a few days ago and was going to wait until the mission was over because we were stressed about it beforehand. But obviously none of us expected me to get kidnapped and...and...after what they did to me- what if I've lost the baby?"

I started to cry because even though the pregnancy wasn't planned, I wanted to keep the child.

"Shhh baby, it's okay. Don't think about that. Whatever happens I'm here for you. We'll take another test when you're all better and then go from there."

Jack was always so kind and loving and I was so grateful to have him.

"If I am pregnant still, how do you feel about it?"

"Well I'll stand by you no matter what. It's your decision so if you want an abortion, or want put it up for adoption or want to keep it, I'll support you. I know this wasn't planned but I will be the best dad I can be if you want to keep it." He said and my heart swelled.

"I do. I want a baby. Your baby."

He smiled and kissed my lips softly.
"Then congratulations - we're having a baby!"

My happiness was overshadowed by my pain and I got sad again.

"But what if I've lost it?"

"Then we can always try again later. For now we need to focus on getting you better, yeah?"

I agreed and pulled Jack into bed with me. I lay my head on his chest and he gently pulled me into his body. We stayed like that for a while before the door burst open and Danny and Merritt came in.
