A/N: well I hope everybody in this site had a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year as good as mine, here is the story and enjoy and thanks texasrangergirl for the suggestions in the different chapters.

The doors from the hospital swung open just as the paramedics ran through the halls with the unconscious body of Sienna Gage, Sydney tried to follow her daughter but a nurse stopped her.

"Mrs. Gage, you can't go there, you'll need to wait" The nurse told her putting her hands on her shoulder.

"My daughter is dying I need to be with her!" Sydney snapped at the nurse pulling the nurses hands off her shoulders.

"Honey, the doctors are going to take care of her come on let's sit down." Gage held his wife tight and nodded to the nurse who went into the emergency room. Sydney began crying and tried to speak. "Gage… anything… ever happened to her." Gage cut her off. "Syd, honey, nothing will happen to Sienna she is tough like you. Please stop thinking like that." The Trivette's and Walker's didn't know what to say they stood in silence. Alex was holding Matthew in her arms he began to fuss and cried "Mom". Alex then handed Matthew over to his mother. Sydney held Matthew close to her breast and kissed his head trying to hold back her tears. She turned and began to walk out of the hospital with Gage following her. Gage caught up with his wife and took her arm. "Honey, you need to get some sleep."

The tears fell down her cheeks again. "I can't Gage. My daughter has been shot and is in the emergency room and you want me to sleep? I can't sleep until I know how my daughter is."

"Shorty I know this is not easy and is not a good moment either but you have to rest, please" he tried to convince his wife "Let's wait until the doctor talk to us, come on" he offered his hand, she close her eyes, took a deep breath, she knew he was right she needed to rest but she couldn't, she took his hand and together they headed to see how their daughter was doing.

Michael Turner looked at both ranger entered to St. Mathew, he smiled proud of what he did. "Prepare Ranger Cooke, cause your son is next" he put his car on gear and

drove away from the hospital ready to work on his second plan, he was going to make Sydney suffer, he was not just words he was going to prove it he took his phone out and dialed Sydney phone.

Gage and Sydney rejoined their friends at the waiting room, Sydney's phone rang she pulled it out of her pocket.

"Ranger Cooke" she said waiting for an answer.

"How's your daughter Sydney" Sydney looked at all directions getting her friends attention.

"Where are you?" she asked with a tone of anger in her voice.

Turner laughed. "Listen ranger, I'm not stupid enough to tell you where I am. I'm not done with you yet, you will suffer. Watch your back Cooke, also watch your daughter and your son as well."

Sydney was upset and mad at this point. She was so upset and mad she yelled into the phone. "Turner you better hope nothing happens to my daughter and don't you dare touch my son. If anything happens to either of them I will hunt you down myself and kill you. You have no idea what I'm capable of." She then hung up her phone just as the doctor walked in the waiting room.

"I am looking for the parents of Sienna Gage" the doctor said looking at all the people in the room.

"We are, I'm Francis Gage and she's my wife Sydney, How is our daughter?" shaking hands with the doctor.

"I'm Dr. Marshal, nice to meet you, we had a hard time taking the bullet out from the shoulder but she made it, although I am not sure if the bullet that is still in her spinal cord did some damage, We'll have to wait"

"How bad the damage can be?" Gage asked not wanting to think that way but reality was that anything could happen.

"It depends, there are a lot of things that can happen at this point but I am really surprised that she make it not all of our patients make it that far, about the consequences well she could stay paralyzed like I said it depends of what part of the back the bullet hit"

"Can we see her?" Gage's wife asked the tears coming to the brims of her eyes.

"At this point I would say to let her rest" the doctor looked at Sydney and saw her expression, sadness filled her eyes, he sighed and smile "but I guess 5 minutes would not be that bad" Sydney smile in response. "Thanks" she turned around to look at her friends, they all nodded their heads. "Tell her we love her" The blonde D.A. said to her friend "I will Alex, I will" was the last thing she said hurrying with her husband to se their daughter.

Sienna's room

Sydney opened the door slowly and took a chair sitting next to her daughter taking her little hand in hers, she did not said a word she just stay there staring at her daughter looking and listening at the machines, at some point the sound started to annoyed her but there was nothing she could do. Matthew looked at her sister and call to her "na,na" but Sienna did not move and he started to cry. Sydney tried to calm him down but at the same time was trying not to cry, Gage took Matthew from Sydney's arms and sat in the sofa that was in the room. "Hey, Hey don't cry she is going to be ok, I know you want to play with her, I want to play too but right now she is sleeping and we cannot wake her up, right" Matthew looked at Gage and moved his little arms around his neck, Sydney move to where Gage was giving him a kiss it was kind of a "thank you" she did not know how Gage calm their son, those words of support. she just wished she could say something in this kind of situations, she was tired and in seconds she fall asleep in Gage's chest he pulled her close to him, he move Matthew and noticed he was asleep too, he stayed for a few minutes after that he put him in the sofa next to Sydney and went outside to tell their friends how Sienna was doing.

Outside of the room

"How is she?" , "Is she ok?" all different questions were fired at the blonde ranger.

"Slow down I cannot hear what you are all saying" Gage said to his friends after hearing their questions he answered.

"Sienna is asleep but the doctor does not know the damage that the bullet cause until she wakes up but to be honest with you all I am afraid, I am afraid for her, for Sydney and for my son Walker I need a lot of security around the hospital I do not know how Michael found out her new cell phone number that spook her a little bit"

"Don't worry Gage if that makes you feel better I'll send rangers around the hospital and if you feel more comfortable Trivette and I will stay too"

"No Walker, I really appreciate your offer but what about Alex and Erika and the kids, they might be in danger too so I want you guys go home and I'll stay here with Sydney, besides you all need to rest too" after talking a few more minutes Walker and Trivette went home with their wives.

Inside the car to the Walker's Ranch

Angela Walker stared out the window of the RAM not saying a word, Alex looked at her daughter and sadness took over her.

"Hey, Angela how about we take Amigo and Angel for a ride only you and me no boys allowed" looking at Walker. Angela nodded her head "no".

"Ok so what do you want to do?" she asked

"I want to play with Sienna" that was her only answer which make Alex feel worst more than she already was.

"Angela, honey listen to me Sienna is in the hospital sleeping she's going to be fine you'll see. Sienna is tough like her mother, and as soon as she wakes up you can play with her all you want okay honey?"

Angela not looking at her mother nodded her head and spoke so quietly that Alex could barely hear her daughter. "Okay mom."

Inside the Trivette´s car

"Mom" Max called to her mom.

"Yes sweetie" Erika responded

"Is Sienna going to be ok?" he asked his eyes looking at his tennis shoes

"Of course she's going to be ok, don't worry, Do you want to do something special when we get home?" she asked again trying to cheer up her son.

"A card"

"A card?" Erika said.

"Yes, mom I would like to make a special card for Sienna, one telling her that we all love her and hope she gets better as soon as possible so we can all play together along with Angela."

"Ok, Do you want me to help you?"

"Yes please mom, you and daddy along with Aunt Alex and Uncle Walker can sign them as well." "We would love to sign them honey." Erika replied to her son.

At the Hospital

Sydney opened her eyes and after a few seconds they focused in and she realized that several hours had passed. She straighten up and noticed that her son, Matthew was still fast asleep as well her husband Gage. She looked over at her daughter and thought she saw her small hand moving thinking she was just seeing things Sienna opened her eyes calling to her mother. "Mom?"

"I am here, how are you feeling?"

"I'm dizzy and ready to go home" Sydney hearing what her daughter was saying laugh a little.

"I know I want to go home too but we cannot go until the doctor tells us to do so, right?"

"Right, Dad?" Gage woke up hearing his daughter voice and sat next to his wife. "Hello sweetie"

"Hi dad, I want to go home, I hate hospitals" Gage stared at his wife "believe me Sienna you are not the only one" Sydney punch him in the chest. "oww Syd" Sienna laughed.

"Mom, dad I need to go home now and if you don't call the doctor I guess I will..."

"You will what?" Gage said to his daughter.

"Sienna, what's the matter?" Sydney asked, fear started to take over the little girl.

"I can't move my legs!" tears fall down like waterfalls, Sydney ran to the door and yelled at the top of her lungs "We need a doctor, now!"
