Chapter 25

Shift starts for Sienna at 5:30 am, it wasn't easy to leave her warm bed and her cuddly husband so early.

"Sienna" Monique runs up to her with a file in her hand, "The blood results."

Sienna beams, "Thank you Monique"

She gets a page for a trauma consult and gives Maggie the lab results for safe-keeping. Two hours later she quickly calls Gabby.

Gabby being off-shift gets to the hospital quickly. "Will you look with me?" Gabby asks as soon as the two walk into the Attending's Lounge for privacy.

"Of course"

Gabby takes several deep breaths and then looks at the test results. Her smile breaks out in a wide beaming grin, her eyes shining with absolute joy. "I'm pregnant"

Sienna's face is a mirror reflection on her sister-in-law's. "Congratulations sister. I'm so happy for you" She hugs Gabby. "I'm so happy for you"

Gabby looks teary, "I'm going to be a mom"

"I know" She whispers, "Have you told Matt?"

"Not yet. I wanted to be sure first."

Sienna nods, "Well you're going to have to tell him and Boden because you can't go running into burning buildings anymore. You have a little life to think of now."

"I have a little baby to think of." She gushes. "I'm going to be a mom"

The girls - Erin; Gabby; Kim; Sylvie; Natalie and Maggie and Sienna - are drinking coffee at their favourite café. Little two-year-old Carlos Dawson-Casey is drinking a milkshake while playing with his toy fire truck.

"He's so cute" Sienna ruffles her godson's hair.

"When are you and Tony getting one?" Erin asks as the girls all faff over the little boy. For a two-year-old he's damn sweet. The boy never even throws a tantrum.

"Antonio being undercover this year more than he is in Chicago has put a pause on family-talk" Sienna says. She's trying to tease but Erin; Maggie and Gabby – who know her the best – hear the underlining sadness.

Sienna knew when she started dating Antonio all those years ago that he's an undercover cop – best in the damn city – and she respects that, but she hasn't seen him in almost 10 months. He's undercover to catch a mafia boss in prison which is extremely dangerous and stupid, to say the least, of Intelligence to put him under alone.

"Does Intelligence have a lead on him yet?" Kim asks Erin who shakes her head. "I'm not allowed to dispute information, you know that."

"It's fine" Sienna insists although it isn't really fine, but Jay also told her that even though they want to they aren't allowed to tell anyone anything. The mafia boss has eyes and ears everywhere in the U.S.

Gabby squeezes her sister's shoulder. Before Sienna, Gabby was the one who worried – who stayed up until early mornings thinking of him being undercover.

"Let's talk about something else" Maggie says frowning when she sees the uncomfortable look on Sienna's face.

"I want to talk about Miss Erin Halstead – oh, oh I'm sorry Lindsay."

"Hardy har har har" Erin narrows her eyes, a smirk dances on her lips. Jay has asked her to marry him two years ago and she accepted but the two are even worse than Sienna and Antonio was.

They haven't set a date, and it doesn't look like they will anytime soon.

"You two are slower than Si and Antonio. I never thought that was possible" Natalie teases. Her sister got cleared three weeks after the death of her husband. It wasn't her who killed her husband, but the drug dealer her husband owed money to. He hired three people to kill him. Intelligence caught the killers and broke up the drug ring in the process. Her sister is now in rehab.

"Hey" Sienna whines causing the girls to laugh.

"I know we are. There's so much shit happening with us right now, I'm not sure if we're ever going to get married – not if Hank is our boss."

The girls stay quiet, "Hey, Hank just has to deal with it. A lot of people have in-house relationships. This isn't just a casual fling anymore – it's the real deal." Natalie murmurs. "I mean, Miss Goodwin is fine with the fact that Will and I are dating"

"I still can't believe you and ginger are a thing" Maggie interjects with a grin. The girls laugh.

"Me neither" Natalie grumbles. "He's a pain sometimes"

"All men are sweetie" Sienna deadpans causing the girls to laugh loudly as they order another round of cappuccinos and chocolate cake.

The next evening Sienna and Rhodes are driving to Mineral Point in Wisconsin for a trauma. Their hospital isn't equipped for a Transcranial Brainstem Stab injury.

They are talking about the case when they hear some sort of an explosion followed by unsteady bumping from the ambo.

Rhodes knocks on the window separating them from the driver, "What's going on out there?"

"I hit something." The driver says as he pulls over. He gets out of the ambulance to check. The two doctors' open the ambo door to find the driver squatting down.

"What's going on?" Sienna asks as they get out of the ambulance.

"I'm not sure. Whatever I hit is gone now."

"Help me replace the wheel" The driver directs his instruction to Connor.

Sienna jumps up and down to get warm. Chicago is buried under snow.

"Did you guys hear that?" Sienna asks. The two guys get quiet and they hear the weakened voice of a man in the far distance.

"Let's span out and search" Connor instructs.

"Call out!" Sienna yells as they split up to find the man. "We're trauma surgeons, call out!"

"Over here!" Sienna yells for Connor. They run to the man – badly injured.

"Sir, I'm Doctor Roberts, this is my partner Doctor Rhodes. What happened?"

"I... got....shot" He wheezes out. "S-s-shooter l-l-left"

"I'll grab a backboard" Connor runs back to the ambulance while Sienna treats the patient. While dressing the wound, she feels a cold metal presses against the back of her head. She hears it cock, quickly realizing it's a gun.

"Stop treating him" She hears a man behind her. "Stop treating him"

The man's tone of voice is low, drawl in a warning. She's scared out of her mind but she also knows if she stops the patient will die. If she doesn't she will die.

Where are you Connor?

"I said stop!" He screams startling her. She puts down the scalpel. "Okay, okay. I'm stopping."

"Good. Stand-up"

She hesitates, "I said stand up bitch!" He shoots the guy in the face causing her to jump in surprise.

"Leave him" He drawls out when she stands up. He grabs her by the arm. "You'll leave now Doctor Roberts, you'll leave and forget you ever saw me or him or I will kill your partner."
