Jocelyn was invited to go to Noah, Bensons son, baptism. She went, sitting with the small party, smiling as Liv held her son in her arms.

"Noah Porter, now we celebrate you, and we welcome you into our community. All say, you are a blessed gift and we give you our blessings." The father said. Jocelyn smiles to see Sonny and Amaro up front. Once the ceremony ended, Carisi, Rollins, Amaro, Peña and Benson headed out.

"I didn't know you were a Unitarian, Sarge." Sonny looks back.

"Oh, Im not. Actually i didn't grow up with any religion. I just wanted Noah to have something that would ground him." She smiles at her son.

"Then rebel against when he's a teenager, am I right?" Sonny plays with the boy. "I get it, Im catholic."

"Oh we know." Jocelyn patted his chest. "Just take easy on mama and don't get any ideas from uncle Sonny." She uses her baby voice that earned a laugh from Noah.

Jocelyn is huddled around Rollins that had the new case in her hands. She reads from over her shoulder.

"Bayard Ellis wants us to reopen a 20 year old incest rape? Let him do the legwork." Amaro says as he walks to his desk.

"Look, he just wants us to see if there's anything there."

"I mean obviously its tough to get a conviction reopened. but Bayard Ellis, the guys a legend." Sonny geeks. "If he thinks its worth looking into..."

"Aww, Carisi is getting flustered by Ellis, how adorable." Peña smirks, earning a scuff from Carisi. Peña's phone goes off, it was Evelyn. Jocelyn froze for a bit, telling Liv that she will be back. "Ev? Whats wrong?"

"I need you to help me get to the hospital." She huffs from the phone. "Alex is at work and won't pick up. i need you."

"Is everything okay?"

"I don't think so." Thats all Evelyn had to say.

"Im on my way." Jocelyn hangs up and runs back to the pit. "Liv!" She said as she interrupts Amaro. "I need to go, my sister in law, shes not doing to good and she's pregnant-"

"Go, we got this." Jocelyn nods, rushing to take her coat and off she goes. She makes her way to her brothers house, parking in front of the home, she got lucky. Jocelyn bangs on the door and Evelyn, pop out all dressed and ready to go.

"Whats happening?" She helps her down the stairs and into the car. she didn't say anything. "Evelyn!"

"Just drive!" Jocelyn takes a deep breath and heads to the hospital. She wasn't going to stop until she told her what was happening, for christ sake, she's pregnant.

"Eve..." Jocelyn lets go.

"I think im going into labor." Jocelyn slowly turns to her sister in law. "I coming back from dropping off the kids at school and then my water popped, and i almost fainted. Im fine, its just, i don't feel good about it. I don't feel any contractions or anything. I need to see if everything is okay. Dont you dare tell Alex."

"He has to know Evelyn!" Jocelyn parks her car and they make their way inside the building. She makes Evelyn sit on a wheelchair to make her not be on her feet. They hand her paperwork and asked questions. "I can't believe it."

"What if it's nothing? I already have him stressed out with this kid, working 2 jobs just for us to make sure we can afford at least Ale's baseball games. No."

"What if it is something? Eve, you almost fainted, something has to be wrong. you can't keep this from Alex, he's going to know one way or another. Plus, you know that i can help you, let me know." Jocelyn kept looking around at the place, not as busy but it was taking forever to get Evelyn to see a doctor. Some people that came after them had already been seen. Evelyn shifts in her seat, holding the bottom of her stomach. "Stay here." Jocelyn gets up and searches for a nurse. "My sister in law is pregnant and she doesn't feel too hot, she needs a doctor now."

"Well, we are trying to get everyone in. Just sit tight." One of the nurses said to her. Jocelyn's nose twitched, pissed. She looks back at Evelyn and she had her head back, controlling her breathing.

"Are you really going to have her sit here and wait whatever she has going on? If that baby dies, its on you." Jocelyn smacks her hands on the table, scaring the nurse. "She is pregnant and she needs to be seen by somebody. And don't say that you are doing what you can because the last 20 minutes all you been doing is sitting here on your phone and talking to the other nurses. So im going to say this again, get her a doctor now. I will not ask again." Jocelyn goes back and sits with Evelyn.

"Evelyn Peña." One of the nurses said shortly after. Jocelyn helps Evelyn up and wheel her in, staring back at the nurse. They had done her check up and are now waiting again. Jocelyn sat next to her, on her phone.

"Why do you hate hospitals so much?" Evelyn turns on her side, watching Jocelyn.

"Just the place creeps me out. Its just so cold and-" Jocelyn sighs. She didn't want to scare her or say something that will make her worse. It reminds her of how much she lost, how much pain she went through. So yeah, hospitals aren't her thing. "Thats all." Jocelyn just stops.

"If you were still with Jensen, would you have kids?" Jocelyn looks down at her hands, not knowing how to answer that. "Sorry, i just need to be distracted."

"I don't think we wouldve had any." Jocelyn answered. "Work and all."

"Do you even want kids?" Jocelyn took a moment to look on it. After wanting some for so long and to have Jensen not want any and her working and her getting older... Will there be a chance? With who?

"I will have to have someone to help me with that." They both chuckled. Sonny had texted to see how was Evelyn and what hospital they were in. Jocelyn liked that about Sonny, always caring.

"And Sonny?" She smiles. "Anything there yet?"

"Nothing. I don't think there will be anything there. It could just be a nice little dream for me to think about."

"Shame, he's a good one. Alex is starting to get suspicious about you and this guy that you always keep talking about." She winced in pain. Jocelyn runs to her and hold her hand. The doctor shows up, finally. She takes a look at Evelyn, checking on the baby and herself. Lucky for Evelyn, nothing bad happened to the baby.

"You are just have a low blood sugar, thats why you almost fainted. Nothing wrong there, happens to all the moms. When's your due date?"

"Its a week late." Evelyn sits up.

"Well, lucky for you mama, the baby is getting ready to come out, so you will be here for the mean while, we will checking on you for the time being." The doctor nods and leaves. Jocelyn sits back down.

"This is fun, you, me, the baby, wonderful hours of pain." Evelyn takes a deep breath.

"Call Alex?" She finally agrees. Jocelyn steps outside to call her brother, who took about two trys. "The hell happened to you?"

"Work is crazy today, whats up?"

"Well, your soon to be baby is going to be here soon. So im calling to get your ass down here and be with your wife."

"How is she doing?"

"What do you think? She already had two of your kids, shes fine." Jocelyn crossed her arms, leaning back. "Just get you ass down here."

"Ill be there. Jo..." He said as they were going to hang up. "Thank you for being there for her."

"I do what i can." Evelyn started grunting and closing her eyes. "Is it time?"

"Contractions, time them." They were weren't consistent but she still timed them. Alex finally showed up. "About time." Evelyn growled at him.

"Sorry, i had to tell Winona to stay home with Ale for now." Alex looks at Jocelyn. He's not ready for the angry wife that is going to come out. "How are you feeling?"

"What do you think? Im the one with a baby inside me." Jocelyn was not ready to see her at her worst.

"Okay, well im here now." Hours went by, Evelyn cursed out at the two siblings. The contractions were now getting constant and nurses and doctors were running in and out of the room. Jocelyn was escorted out and was waiting outside. She can hear the screams coming from inside. Jocelyn sat there playing on her phone and waiting for when it was over.

"Still fighting?" She looks up to see Sonny. Her face lit up to see him there. He had balloons and a teddy bear. "Did I do too much?"

"No." She smiled at him. "You didn't have to come." Sonny sits down next to her.

"I wanted to."

"How was the case?" Sonny sighs and by that Jocelyn knew that it wasn't as planned. "That bad?"

"Just glad that the day is over." He looks at Jocelyn, looking at her keep him at peace, grounded. The stare was cut off of the screaming. "I cant imagine how that feels." Jocelyn laughs.

"Trust me, you don't." The door opens and Alex comes out, smiling and all. "Alex!" He sees the man with balloons and a stuffed bear by his sisters side, confused. "This is Sonny, my partner from work. Sonny this is my older brother, Alex."

"Pleasure to finally meet you!" Sonny smiles, immediately shaking Alex's hand. "Jocey has been telling me about you. Congratulations on your new kid!"

"Jocey?" Jocelyn punches Alex's arm. "Oh uh thanks." He shakes it out. "Wanna see the baby?" They nodded. They followed Alex into the room, Evelyn smiled brightly as she sees Sonny.

"Sonny! You came!"

"Once Jocey told me that you're going in labor, i wanted to stop by." He places the gifts to the side. "How you doing mom?"

"Better now that i finally got him out."

"Him!" Jocey looks down at the baby in her sister in law's arms.

"Wanna hold him?" Jocelyn nods her head fast, gently holding the baby in her arms, Sonny taking a look too, getting close to her.

"Hes so adorable." She whispers.

"Aint he cute?" Sonny smiles.

"Whats his name?" Jocelyn askes.

"Pedro Lionel." Jocelyn immediately looks up at her brother. They named him after their father. She started to tear up.

"Hi!" She sniffs down. "Im your titì jojo!" She lifts Pedro to show him Sonny. "This is Sonny."

"Tito Sonny." Evelyn adds. "Uncle Sonny." Sonny's face lit up.

"I am honored, thank you."

"You showed be, now you're part of this crazy family, theres no getting out." They laughed. Alex kept looking at the two, so close. When she was with Jensen, they weren't like this, so close, so attached. I mean what kind of partner shows up to your nephews birth? Who he never really met?

"Hey fella!" Sonny gets closer. "You are lucky to have your aunt Jocey. Believe me, she is amazing." Evelyn smiles at the two. Shes betting that those two are probably either secretly dating or going to start soon. How can you not be that in love? She holds Alex's hand, kissing hers.
