Sequel: Black Rose ›
Statues Without Eyes
Late At Night
Jake had been asleep for the past couple hours but I couldn't sleep. I felt so alone in this bed. It was so big and empty, not to mention cold. As much as I tried to sleep, I couldn't so I did the next best thing, I decided to go for a late night run. Strapping on my shoes quietly, then leaving the house, I started my run which felt good since it was cool out tonight. My Ipod blasted in my ears as I ran, granted the playlist was a bit sad right now but it's all I needed right now. I needed something to let my tears fall to for the first time since I hadn't actually cried since I last talked to Ryan. Stopping at the pier, I caught my breath, my head down watching the tears fall to the water as I cried. As I continued my run, I ended up at Ryan's front door. I was about to knock at the door but couldn't bring myself to do it. Slowly sliding down to the ground, I sat outside his door wishing that he'd just open it to take me in his arms and everything would be ok.
Losing track of the time, I was startled to wake up to find that the sun had started to rise a bit, pulling myself up from his door step, I gathered myself to head to the doctor's office. I had all the time in the world right now since I didn't have to be into work til 10. Sitting in the waiting room again, it felt like deja vu as I played with my fingers. The doctor handed me an envelope as I stood up slowly to see Eric and Calleigh walking out of the hospital room.
"Hey,"Calleigh smiled at me,"What are you doing here?"
"Oh,"I blushed,"Just some things came up."
"You ok?"
"Fine,"I smiled lightly,"I'm heading into the lab, so I'll see you guys there, ok?"
"Hey are you and Ryan ok?"Eric asked.
"Fine,"I nodded,"Don't worry about us."
Walking to my car, I was scared to look at the envelope and what was held inside it. It made me a nervous wreck as I drove to the lab. Sitting in the parking lot, I was jumpy as I watched people walk past me. That's when I seen Ryan walk out of his car to walk into the lab. I don't think he noticed me which right now was a good thing. Picking up the envelope, I slide my finger underneath the seal to pull out the piece of paper. Taking a deep breath with my eyes closed, I slowly opened them to read the paper.
As my eyes traveled down to what I was looking for, my heart felt like it stopped when I seen what I knew was going to be true. Slowly placing the paper back into the envelope, I slowly got out of my car to head into the lab but in a daze now.
"Hey,"Natalia walked up to me,"Are you ok?"
"Um, sorta,"I bit my lip.
"You went to the doctor didn't yo?"
"Yeah,"I nodded.
"And?"
"Yes,"I sighed looking at her.
"Oh my god,"Natalia looked at me,"Have you told him yet?"
"No,"I shook my head,"I'm scared."
"Don't worry,"She hugged me lightly,"I'll be in the lab once you get checked in."
As Natalia walked off, I picked up my phone to call Ryan which it went to his voicemail.
"Hey, I know you're pissed at me but we seriously need to talk. It's important, call me back, ok?"
Hanging up, I walked past Valera who smiled at me.
"Hey, have you seen Ryan?"
"Um, no,"She looked at me,"I think he went out with Horatio."
"Well if you see him, can you tell him I need to talk to him?"
"Yeah, sure, you ok?"
"Fine,"I smiled at her lightly,"I just have to tell him something."
"Ok,"She nodded as she walked off and I headed to the lab with Natalia.
"So, what are we doing?"I asked as I stood next to Natalia who was at the computer.
"I need you to look for trace on those things,"Natalia pointed towards me which I nodded then she looked at me,"Did you get a hold of Ryan?"
"Not yet,"I bit my lip which put me on edge.
"Just try to relax, ok?"She smiled lightly.
"I'm trying,"I looked at her,"I can't help my nerves though."
"It'll be ok."
As I looked through evidence, I had to go over to QD which on the way there, I got stopped by an aggrivated Ryan.
"What'd you want?"
"We need to talk."
"I'm kinda busy,"Ryan looked at me,"Is it important?"
"I wasn't lying to you when I said I didn't feel good yesterday morning."
"Uh huh."
"I found out why,"I looked at him as he crossed his arms.
"Humor me."
I leant up to him to whisper in his ear,"I'm pregant and yes it's yours."
I backed away from Ryan who's eyes went wide and I waited for an answer but he didn't say anything so I walked off to my original direction when I felt a tug at my arm.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I didn't know til this morning,"I shrugged at him,"Don't believe me, on my car front seat are the test results."
I handed him my car key which I smiled lightly then finally got to my direction that I had been planning on getting to in the first place.
As I sat in QD going over things just looking at the screen, so much of my jitters were gone that it was easier to concentrate on things. As I kept my eyes on the screen, feeling myself slowly drift off into space, some keys dangled in front of my face as I seen Ryan take a seat next to me.
"I never meant to hurt you or anything, it's just I wasn't sure what was going on either."
"I guess I did overreact."
"If that's not the understatement of the year,"I smirked at him placing my keys back in my pocket.
"I'm sorry."
"I just needed a morning to myself yesterday just since I was scared that this was going to happen. I mean you're talking to the girl who's been racing and flipping since she was 10 and now well, now I can't really."
"Hey you've still got this CSI job."
"I know,"I sighed,"But profiling and this always came backseat to what I love doing."
"And I didn't help much yesterday did I?"
"No,"I yawned.
"Tired much?"He smirked.
"I couldn't sleep,"I looked at him,"I did a lot of thinking last night as well as running."
"So are you still going to stay at Jake's or can I count on you being back?"
"Do you want me back?"
"Yes,"He smile taking my hand,"I know technically that fight could've gone on longer but now it's no longer important."
"Thanks,"I smiled lightly,"Now leave me alone, you're breaking my concentration and I've got a lot to work on."
"Alright,"He smiled standing up slowly,"I'll see you after work?"
"Yeah,"I smiled lightly.
After Ryan left, I was left alone to which I got a text on my phone from...Angelo. I smirked a bit at how he was sneaky at placing his own number in my phone when he went to call Eric. But I guess that's a good thing since if I needed something then he's there.
Opening his text, it read: Your mom's in trouble.
Looking at the text and debating what I should do, I got up from my seat to go find Horatio.
