I'll Be There

AN: Hi! Just a quick note. I wanted to say thank you to everyone for your support with this story. I'm so thankful to everyone who has reviewed, followed, and favorited this story. I love you all.

Lol, if you're wondering how I pick the songs for the stories; I have a playlist that I click shuffle on and start typing. If you would like me to try out a song that you like, just send me a PM.

WARNING: There will be the death of a small baby in this chapter. If this is hard for you to read then please don't. This was very hard for me to write as well.

Song: I'll Be There by Jess Glynne

When all the tears are rolling down your face

And it feels like yours was the only heart to break

When you come back home and all the lights are out, ooh

And you're getting used to no one else being around

Brett had just stepped out of the ambulance when she saw the love of her life, Matthew Casey. Sometimes Brett didn't know how she got so lucky and ended up with him. He had been so great to her, even when she felt like she didn't deserve it.

THREE DAYS EARLIER

"Brett, are you sure you're okay? That was a tough one." Asked a slightly worried Foster.

"I'm okay." Sadly answered Brett as she systematically drove back to the firehouse.

Two hours before this short yet sorrow conversation, Brett and Foster responded to a call on Barrow Street. A call that would forever change Brett.

"Ma'am, are you okay?" Brett asked the hysterical woman as she ran around her front yard screaming.

"No! My baby...he's not breathing." "Please help!" The small, petite woman rushed out.

When Brett and Foster entered the house they saw a man, no more than the age of thirty, holding a baby as blue as blueberry.

Oh, oh, I'll be there

When you need a little love, I got a little love to share

Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna come through

You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you

I'll be there, I'll be there for you

I'll be there, I'll be there for you

Oh, I swear, I got enough love for two, ooh, ooh, ooh

You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you

When Brett and Foster returned to the firehouse everyone around them seemed to be just as morose as them, if not more. Apparently, the house had heard about the call just as Brett and Foster left the scene. Just as Brett was about to go to the locker room, Casey approached her.

"Brett, I heard about the call. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just need a minute,"

Casey tried to grab Brett's arm but she quickly pulled away.

"Brett..."

"Casey, I just need a minute alone. Please. I don't want to be touched or bothered right now."

As soon as Brett said it she knew it was a mistake. Casey quickly pulled away and turned and left.

"Casey, I'm..."

When you're lost down the river bed, I'll be there

When you're lost in the darkness, I'll be there

I'll be there when your heart is breaking

You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you

I'll be there

Later when Brett was sitting on her bunk alone staring into space she felt the bed dip down and turned her head to see who it was.

"Hey," Whispered Casey.

"Hey," Brett slowly responded.

"Listen, about before I shouldn't have just walked off like that. I should have stayed and tried to talk to you even though you didn't want to."

"No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have tried to push you away like that. I just didn't want that last call to be true. If we had gotten there sooner the baby might still..."

"Brett, you can't do that. Don't blame yourself. This is not your fault. Okay? Promise me you won't blame yourself and try to push me away again."

"I promise." Replied Brett lovingly looking into Casey's eyes.

I'll be there for you, ooh

I'll be there for you, ooh

You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you, ooh

I'll be there for you, ooh

You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you
