Guess what?

Michael took a bite out of his food. Normally he’d be more inclined to eat, but after seeing Lucy’s dead eyes in the penthouse, the sauce of only reminded him of the blood that seeped from her wounds. He listened as Katie told him about how she was feeling, truth be told he had no clue how her body would react to her being pregnant. He heard many woman craving tons of thing like various foods. Mood swings, feeling more sexually angst, it seemed like it would all be luck of the draw. Still it had only been two months and Katie was just barely showing so for all Michael knew, they had sometime before they reached that point.

When she spoke about her doctor’s appointment, he felt inclined to invite himself. After all it wasn’t just her baby. He didn’t say anything about it though as he couldn’t escape the feeling that Katie was sort of freezing him out this whole time. She wouldn’t tell him where she was keeping Lucy, and she didn’t seem to she him as part the case. In the light, Michael felt kind of hurt. Did she even want him involved in their child‘s life? “You know they’re not going to let you work when they find out you’re pregnant.” he said, most likely telling what she already knew.

 

[zydrate]

"Yeah, I know..." Katie said, wistfully, her salad remained untouched. The last thing she wanted was anything other than salad...at least not after what was witnessed at the penthouse.

"They'll most likely stick me behind a desk for the next nine months..." she muttered. She was quiet for a bit before, setting down her fork and looking at Michael...really looking at him, "Michael..." she started...

Clearing her throat, she tried to smile, "Michael, what do we do now?" she asked, "I mean I want you to be a part of my life, and obviously the baby's life but where do we go from here? Do we take it slow? Do we just move in together? Get married? There is just so much running through my head right now that I don't know what to do or where to start. I know it probably seems like I'm being distant but I just don't know what to do..." Katie reached over and placed her hand on his, giving it a squeeze.

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

"what do we do now?"

That was the million dollar question. There were so many things to think about and half of them weren't even about the baby. The case, the lead; in some way none of it seemed to Michael or at least he didn't want it to. He could feel Katie's hand onto his, the clammy feel indicating that she felt lost. Her holding his hand was like being being her life saver, the only thing keeping her from drowning. It was always like that between them, always looking after one another.

Michael didn't say anything at first, because he knew there one thing Katie needed more than anything. He leaned in to softly kiss her, a soft gesture that was a long time coming. She needed reassurance from him and Michael simple words wouldn't be enough. "I love you, Katie." he began as he spoke softly in her ear. "I don't know what we'll do, but I know that I ant to be with you, and be apart of our child's life and that no matter what we'll get through this like we always do" He nuzzled his nose against her's as his eyes locked on her "you and me.... together against the world."

 

[zydrate]

Katie's eyes closed as she felt the warm breath of Michael's against her ear, she shivered in a good way. It felt so good to have him there for her. She was also glad that he didn't bolt when she told him earlier. That was her biggest fear and now that it was eased...

Although deep down, Katie knew Michael wouldn't abandon her, it was just a silly fear that was no longer a second thought.

They finished their dinner, well, some of it and left the restaurant. A cab was hailed and Katie immediately gave the cabbie her address. Sure it was just a couple of blocks away but she was exhausted from the day...

"Stay the night with me..." she told Michael. It was more of a small demand, if not a request. She didn't want to be alone tonight...

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

Katie’s words filled Michael with a sort of acceptance. It made him feel needed to be asked to stay the night with her. He always wish for that one day when they sitting in her place that she would ask him to stay like she did just now. Michael had all but lost hope that it would ever happen until now. “Alright.” replied Michael as he put his hand on her cheek before kissing her once more.

There was no irrationality in what they did. Michael loved Katie with all his heart and he wouldn’t let anything happen to her. He knew she wanted to be with him just as much as he wanted to be with her.

His hands began to wrap around her hips as his lips stayed locked onto hers. To Michael it felt different than had happened all those months, this felt more genuine. This was an act of love, something that he felt he could never quite show Katie until now. The case, the DA, the whole NYPD be dammed. The only thing that mattered to Michael at that moment was Katie and their baby.

 

[zydrate]

Katie stayed locked in the kiss with Michael, they deepened the kiss and Katie felt so wanted by him...

How they made it into her apartment, she wasn't sure, but they were inside, the door closed behind them, locking. Now it was really just the two of them, no more case, no more work, nothing else to bother them as they got comfortable in the sanctuary of her place.

Katie's jacket was soon gone, as was Michael's...he smelled so good, just how she always remembered him. How could she think that he would just leave her? No, Michael always cared too much for Katie, not in an obsessive way but in a more...caring way... sure when her heart was broken by another guy in high school, it took a lot of convincing Michael not to kick the guy's ass... or during their training sessions in the academy, she had to sit down with him and tell him to ease up on protecting her...it was sweet but most of the guys were afraid to end up training with her in defense class.

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

Michael knew Katie was fully able to take care of herself. Hell, after spending hours of talking him out of beating up her ex boyfriend in high school, it was her who knocked him after graduation. Still even after all these years he was still protective of her, keeping a close eye on her during basic training, watching her back when they in the field; it was almost like he was her own guardian angel. It was perhaps why it hurt so much for him to leave her to go work for the DA.

Now none of it mattered. Michael was here with Katie, kiss after kiss showering onto her as they began to gently make their way to her bedroom. This felt much different than that night after the Governor’s ball, there was actually more sensuality, more love in what was happening. The room was softly illuminated by the street lights outside, a light blue falling over the room as Michael pressed Katie down onto the bed. His left hand moving onto her stomach, hooking her shirt with his thumb and lifting it slowly as he moved over her breast, his kisses now lowering to her neck. To Michael it was like touching her for the first time, at least in an intimate manner.

With Katie’s shirt off, Michael looked her, as her bra was now the only piece of clothing covering her chest. He began to feel warm, too warm for his shirt as he began to unbutton it, leaving him with his white t-shirt that hugged his tone figure.

Michael had missed Katie, more than he could ever express with simple words. He always thought that because of their jobs getting close would only lead to heartache, but now as his lips fell onto every inch of Katie’s body, kissing her stomach where their baby grew; David knew there was no point in fighting. He loved her, with all his heart and he knew he’d never let anything happen to her or their baby.

Michael’s kisses lowered with every inch until he reach her jeans as he began to slowly unbutton them, pulling them down along with her panties as his eyes became locked onto her pussy. He began to tease around it, kissing along her thighs as he gently spread her legs apart. It was then that his tongue began to taste her clit, touching it gently as his fingers moved along her entrance touching her slit softly wanting to show her how much he truly loved her.

 

[zydrate]

Michael's kisses were as gentle as his touch...and that was a contradiction in itself because Michael was known to be so damn tough, only Katie knew his soft side. The caring side... the other side of him.

The side she was feeling now, the side he was displaying to her now by being so gentle with her, treating her like fine china.

Katie was totally lost in his kisses that she barely realized her state of undress but she wasn't about to pull away from it or him. She hadn't realized how much she missed him. Even that one night after the ball, she had stayed in bed the next morning, re-living each detail of their passionate night together...

Feeling her legs being pried gentle apart, Katie felt the cool air brushing against her pussy and then soon, Michael's warm breath so close to her most private area that it felt like fire... She moaned softly and raised her hips toward his face when she felt his tongue on her clit... Katie's body jerked in reaction, the pleasure shooting through out her entire body, making her eyes close as she tossed her head back...

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

Katie had seen his aggressive side. She had seen him take down perps on the street as well as tear suspects apart in the interrogation room. She knew he had a lot of anger inside and yet even when things were at there worst, the one thing he would never do was take it out of her. He loved her, even before all this. She was only person to ever keep him calm and the one person her trusted. He wanted tonight be the beginning together. A true testament of their love.

Even during the night of the ball, he never touched her in the way he was now. His tongue tasting her as his two fingers gently explored her vaginal walls. He could feel she was getting warmer, almost to the point where she was on fire. He didn’t know how long he had spent teasing and playing with her, but he was at the point where he needed to feel her in a more intimate sense. He stood up as he moved over to her, towering over her body as she laid on the bed. His hands touching her breast as he looked into her eyes and began to ease his cock inside her. Never had he felt such a need to take her in that way, not since that special night. This time however, he promised that in the morning he would be right there with her.

 

[zydrate]

Katie was so lost in the bliss she was receiving from Michael that when he entered her, she gasped in pure surprise. He felt so good inside her, sliding in so painfully, yet passionately, slow into her....then back out...

He moved his hips slowly against her, and she kept up with him, moving in perfect rhythm with him that she lost the number of times she came for him, her pussy quivering around his cock, milking it, urging him on..

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

Michael leaned forward as his hips moved a bit faster, reading himself to reach his peak. His lips showered kisses onto her neck moving up to her lips as he went faster and faster inside Katie. The sound of their skin hitting one another filled the room as Michael went faster. He had no clue how long they had going at it, but time didn't seem like a factor; not now at the least.

His heart was racing as his breathing became hard. He could feel himself getting closer and closer to reaching his peak, yet he continued to keep his lips on Katie's. Finally he was at the point where no thought could pass his mind as finally he reached his climax and came inside Katie, letting out a groan of pleasure as his eyes blurred for a second while he gave her his seed. He laid next to her on the bed as his hand rested on her stomach, his eyes locked on her's "I love you Katie."

 

[zydrate]

Before Katie realized it, she lost control as she felt Michael's hot essence shoot deep into her and she cried out...well, screamed out, was more like it. Her back arched as her hips met his, her pussy clamping around his cock, squeezing it hard as she came in unison with him...

She didn't know how long time had passed as her arms were wrapped around his neck, holding onto him, clinging to him and never wanting to let go...

Katie and Michael had a special relationship that no one would or could understand. They had grown up together, been there for each other and that's all anyone knew... each had a pass that no one else knew about and that only they understood...

"I love you Katie."

With those words, Katie could've cried right then and there. She pulled away just bit, her eyes glistening as she returned his sentiment, "I love you too Michael, I always have..." she kissed him, snuggling in his arms, burying her face in his neck as they both lay there in the afterglow...she knew he wouldn't be leaving her in the morning, or ever...and with that knowledge, she slept peacefully for the first time in since finding out about their baby....

**************

Katie couldn't say what time it was, but she heard her phone ringing. They had left it in the living room. She got up slowly as to not wake Michael, she slipped into a robe and walked out to the living room, looking for her phone..

Before she could answer it, the phone stopped ringing and just then, there were gun shots as someone shot at the front door...instinctively, Katie crouched down as the door then kicked in...

It all happened so fast and Katie did her best to fight off her attackers, but they grabbed her as more shots were fired.

Then every thing was silent as she was taken away...

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

The loud bank awoke Michael as his eyes opened and he rolled onto the floor. He was trapped, completely naked in Katie's bedroom while his gun was beside the living room couch as the gunfire continued. He only time to get on his boxer as he then peaked out to get a small glimpse of the attacker before he was shot at, the attacker taking Katie away as Michael went to grab his gun and follow. He followed the attacker as he made his way down the elevator forcing Michael to use the stairs. "

"Please Katie honey, buy me some time" he said to himself as he ran down the stairs to the main floor. Maybe he should have called for backup, but that time had passed. Michael was fixated, he'd be damned if that bastard was going to harm Katie, he'd kill him if he did. As he made it to the main floor, Michael saw hims as he was about to leave the building. "Freeze, let her go and put the weapon down now!" Michael's voice roared as he ordered the man to stop. Michael didn't have a choice as he aimed for the man's leg and fired, causing him to fall over and yell in pain, his gun sliding away as his gripe on Katie broke. Opening fire was probably not the best thing to do, but if meant saving Katie, being chewed out of even suspended was well worth it. Michael kicked the gun away as he went to Katie, looking over her "Are you okay" he asked, as he finally began to breathe.

 

[zydrate]

As the elevator doors closed, Katie let out a scream of frustration and tried to reach for the buttons...at the very least, the emergency stop for the elevator but no such luck! With a big hand, the man pushed Katie back against the wall of the elevator, slamming her against it and muttered something in Italian before pinning her with his big body so she couldn't move!

When the elevator reached the ground floor, Katie was beyond exhausted from struggling but as the doors opened, the man yanked her by the hair and dragged her behind him and out the elevator. She knew Michael was near...he had to be! Katie needed to hold this guy, she didn't know exactly how but she had to think of something...

Then it came to her, as they left the elevator, Katie grabbed at the closing doors and held on. Her head was yanked back hard, causing her to cry out but she held on until the man brought his forearm down against Katie's arms, breaking her hold, causing pain to shoot through her arms from the blow.

Just then, she heard Michael's voice and her entire body felt the rush of relief..then the gun shot...

Before she could make heads or tails, Katie fell forward, catching herself so that she broke her fall. Instantly she felt Michael's arms around her, pulling her to him and asking if she was OK. With a quick nod, Katie answered him, "Yeah..." In the distance, sirens were heard and the man was yelling out something in Italian at both Katie and Michael as he tried to make his way toward his gun that Michael had kicked away...

Everything else that happened next was a blur of activities. Katie was taken to the ER to make sure she was OK, as was Michael. They were questioned by Katie's superiors... what the hell had happened?

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

Michael was livid. He wanted to question the guy right then and there, but he seemed to only speak Italian and before he knew it back up had arrived. Michael was able to get fully dress before heading to the ER with Katie. Aside from a few bruises, he was but it was Katie that Michael was worried about or more so the baby. He stayed with as the doctor looked over her. I held my breath until the doctor said that the baby was fine, inadvertently kissing her on the forehead as we left into the hallway.

Michael knew they weren't leaving the hospital without having to talk to the Captain, but I didn't think that the DA would be there as well. "shit" I uttered softly, Katie being the only one who heard me as they asked us what happened. The both of them gave them the abridged version, the break in, the attempted abduction, they all knew Rossi was behind it all. "Just give a few minutes with him and I'll have something." said Michael as he looked at the DA, both him and the Captain look at one another as he then nodded. "He's in the room 702, we'll tell them you're coming" said the DA and Michael began to leave "We need a lead, Casey. Don't mess this up. " It seemed Katie was about to follow until the Captain stopped "Hold on Williams." he said "You got some explaining to do, like when you gonna tell us you were pregnant?"

 

[zydrate]

'Damn...' Katie thought as she sighed loudly. She turned to the Captain, who didn't look too happy with her. "Listen, I was going to tell you all, but--"

"When? When you were perhaps ready to pop?!"

"Wow...harsh..." Katie said, "Captain, I didn't want to say anything until this case was over..."

"But Casey knows!? Why?!" He shouldn't have to ask but he did nonetheless and the Captain cursed, "Fuck...Casey's the father..." The Captain said, knowing it was true, "How long did--? You know what? Nevermind, you're relieved of duty from this point Williams!"

"Wait, what?! Captain, you--"

"Don't you dare Williams, don't you dare say I can't do this because I can and I will!" With a hard sigh, the Captain looked at Katie, his voice softening slightly, "Listen...Katie, you are a good cop, a damn good detective and I know this case has been yours from the get go, I get that, but I can't chance losing you or letting you lose your child because of all this. So, here's what's going to happen, because of what happened tonight, I have no choice but to put you in protective custody, ONLY because Rossi could possible be responsible for all this and because he seems to know that you are on to him...got it?"

What argument did Katie have? She knew that after tonight she couldn't take any chances with not only her own life but the life of her and Michael's unborn child. She had someone else to think about...

"Fine..." she said, her tone indicating she was giving in. "Just let me talk to Michael so I can let him know what's going to happen, I-"

"No..no, Williams, I'll let him know when he's done. Right now, you get to the safe house. The sooner you're out of harms way, the better."

Katie wanted to protest but knew she couldn't. Besides, she'd see Michael soon... With a defeated nod, Katie was led out of the examining room with another officer as they escorted her to the safe house.

The Captain watched Katie leave. He wasn't going to tell Michael. He and the DA had decided that a long time ago. It was safer for Casey to not know where Katie was at...at least until all this was settled.

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

Michael made his was to the room as two officers stood guard. He looked like hell, his shirt was un-tucked with one button loose as he showed his badge to the officers. They nodded as the let him go, Michael uttering a few words before opening the door. "Make sure no one comes in." he said in a cold tone, the door opening slowly as he crept in. A small part of the room was lit by a small buzzing florescent light as he walked. The suspect was had already been looked at by the doctor and was awaiting to be taken to jail, his leg now in a cast. He watched as Michael came in, he knew damn well who he was, the angry look in the man's brown eyes showed it. This was Michael's only chance to get a lead, and he was going to get it.

"I'm gonna ask you some questions." started Michael as the man began to speak in Italian. While Michael didn't understand it, he was fluent in condescending asshole. With his left fist he stamped on the man's leg, causing him to scream in pain "You crazy motherfucker!" he shouted as he took in a deep breath. "Amazing, you picked up our language so well"said Michael. He felt he had every reason to rip this guy in half. For one he was the only lead they had and two he had the nerve to put his hand on Katie. "Now if you don't tell me who the fuck sent you after Detective Williams, I'll break your other leg". More anger flowed within the man's eyes as he remained silent, leading Michael to press on his leg more, the screaming police brutality. "good thing I'm not a cop" replied Micheal "A name."

"I don't know!" shouted the man. "I got the job the from a guy named Dan Fontaine, he said to bring the lady to him and take out anyone who was with her. I didn't even know she was a cop!" He was getting somewhere, Michael had to press forward "Why did he want her?" asked Michael "I don't know, he has people run a booking gig near Coney Island and sell drugs on the side". 'Danny' thought Michael as the name on Lucy's cell phone came to mind. The pieces were coming together, he just needed to find a few more. "Where is he?" asked Michael. The man thought for a moment as the pain was getting to him "I think he was may at Scores, you know the strip club."

Michael nodded as he turned away, but not before easing the guys pain with some to morphine in the guy's IV. Michael went back to the DA and the Captain, noticing that Katie was gone "Where's Katie?" he asked "Sorry Casey" said the DA "She's protective custody.... we think it's best we don't tell you where." Even though Michael knew it was for the best, he was infuriated. He wasn't going to win as he nodded, beside if he knew Katie; she'd find a way to reach him. "The phone we found at the apartment tonight... were we able to trace the last number?" The Captain shook his head, "Not yet, but we found out the killed the girl. 9mm special made." Michael thought back at when he shot the guy and pushing his gun away. "Is the phone still at the station?" he Captain nodded. "Check the gun this guy had and see if it matches with the bullet we got out of Lucy. I'm taking the phone." Michael was about to walk off before the DA grabbed his arm "What are you planning, Casey?" he asked "You said you wanted a lead. Well I got one and I gonna track him down." Michael jerked his arm away and left the hospital. Rossi was behind it, he knew it and he wanted him put away. But more than anything, he wanted Katie.

 

[zydrate]

It had been well over 3 days since that 'night' when Katie was almost kidnapped and then moved to this safe house. She still hadn't figured out where she was exactly at. It had been hard to try to get a phone to get to Michael. Her's had been taken away by the Captain.

Katie knew the reason she was being kept away from Michael, let alone everyone else. She was a risk. Not only to herself but also to the baby. No one knew she was pregnant outside of the Captain and Michael, and understandably they wanted her safe. Not that she couldn't blame them. She had feared for her safety when she was taken that night but she did what she could to keep the baby safe.

This case, regarding Rossi, was hers. And it was killing her that someone else was going to get the credit...

There were 2 cops watching the door, another one in the apartment with her...this sort of protection didn't come cheap, she was sure of that. "Dammit Michael, where are you at....?" she wondered out loud.

Before she could think any more one of the guards said something and then nodded toward Katie, who had instantly became alert that something was wrong. She tried to question but one had roughly taken her arm and ushered her toward the door...

"Wait! Where are we going?" she asked, but they didn't answer her. When she tried to pull away, she became more defensive, "I'm not going any where with out word from the Captain!" She said, this time in a more demanding tone.

Nothing in response. This wasn't right. What the hell was going on. She wanted so much to fight back but didn't dare risk it. They could kill her now and that would be the end of it. She needed to find out where they were taking her so for now, she cooperated....at least she did physically but if they really knew what she was capable of, they would probably have given all this a second thought...

'Michael....save my ass...' was all she could think as she was escorted to an waiting car...

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

Micheal's head was spinning after he left the hospital all those nights ago. The mix of anger, fear, and exhaustion weighing like a boulder, yet like Sisyphus he continued on. He only hoped that in the end he wouldn't be repeating any of this. Sleep was difficult for him, not while he had no idea where Katie was being held. He missed her, more than word could ever express.

When he wasn't trying to sleep he was at the station looking up Dan Fontaine at Katie's desk. What the shooter told Michael led him no where as according to the patron of the club, Fontaine hadn't been seen there in days. The man's record was small but had big charges, drug pedaling, extortion, bribery, assault on officer(s), Micheal felt there should have been more.He searched for any connection between Fontaine and Jerry Rossi, sure enough he found one. The two were cell mates back in Rikers Island, seems the they become good friends during their stay.

There was a connection, now Michael needed to find Fontaine. Lucy's phone only led him so far, all that the other investigators could find was that the last number Lucy had called was mobile. It was times like this Michael wish Katie was with him, she always seemed to be the one to get things going. He looked at Lucy's phone as he saw Katie's name in the address book, "I wish there some way to get a hold of you." he said.
