December 12th 2008:

That was the day I went back to sleep. Of course I had my baby back, my little girl but she was the only thing keeping me going, I felt more and more like jumping of a bridge every day, but Molly and Me, we were unbreakable.

Unbreakable, I thought once me and Gene were unbreakable, nothing could ever keep us apart, but in truth it was a lie, he didn't trust me, he trusted that tart Jeannette over me, and then he shot me. I never thought that would happen,

I know at the time I thought he tried to save me from Jeanette but the more I think about it I am not so sure, he never misses a shot, the look of betrayal in his eyes and the pain and hurt, I knew he didn't trust me, in return I can't trust him back.

But I want to change it, but I can't I'm stuck in 2008 with a desk job until further notice at HQ and a life that feels cold, the only warm glow I have is Molly, I confronted Evan about him and my Mum and I forgave him, for what he did for Molly and Me I could never hate him.

I dream every night of the team, Ray, Chris, Shaz and Gene. Even Terry and Bammo a few times and the warm glow I feel whenever I am there, I see them visit me in hospital, all except Gene. I guess he is in hiding still. I wouldn't care who I saw from that world as long as I could, I miss them all. Molly listens to my tales and seems to believe me, she says if I found a way to ever return she would come with me.

2009

When I started work again in 2009 they Promoted me to DCI, in show of my courage, I couldn't even smile, I felt wrong, Gene would always be the Guv. Even if he hated me. But I don't even know if he hates me. Layton was never caught which sickens me that he will go after my baby, I don't think I would cope if he got within a mile of her. The dreams only come once a week now, Gene visits me again, he must have been let off or something, in a way I am glad, he deserves happiness.

September 5th 2011

It was a weekend when I and Molly went to the bank to get her a debit card, my little girl all grown up she was 14 and blossoming into a young woman, she had her IPod in listening to Ed Sheeran while I filled in the paperwork. The dreams had faded more and more. Life still felt empty but I felt more normal again and being a DCI surprisingly came easy to me.

Then we walked round London together and then out of nowhere, a shot rang out, I pushed Molly down out of habit. I looked up and saw him. Layton. He still was wearing blacked out glasses holding a gun and gave he a look and smirked. 'Ahh look it's the Drakes together again' 'No one gets away from my shot and lives to tell the tale, maybe you should both die this time' he laughed; I was shaking and comforting Molly as she sobbed. 'I love you mum never forget it' she cried, I could not believe this was happening, I knew that back up would be here any minute so I tried to remain calm.

I kissed her forehead and then I looked up one last time and Layton pulled the trigger and I saw the bullet speed toward me and Molly, I pushed her away but it was too late it hit her straight in the heart, I saw the life leave her eyes and the last glow of warm that kept me going in this world left, I was void. Then a second shot rang out and I felt it hit the back of my skull and everything went black.

Slowly light sped towards me and I blinked, and my body felt like it just hit a brick wall, I heard the sound of a heart monitor die, I knew this time I was dead for sure, but I didn't care, I wanted Molly if she was dead then I would be too. I felt feeling in my body again and my eyes flickered and adjusted to a white light above me and then I woke up for the first time in 3 years, I felt warmth and my eyes open wide I saw I was not in 2011 anymore, I was in a hospital ward that look very dated, I looked down and I had a bandage on my stomach. I knew I was back.

The 1980s. Suddenly I started to sob, everything might be okay, maybe Molly had made it too and if so life would be perfect. I pressed the buzzer next to my bed and then a nurse rushed in and gasped and a team of doctors came in quick succession and were all shocked to see we awake and with the ability of speech and movement.

I was informed it was the end of 1983, so I had been in a coma for a year, 'where is molly' I screamed and the nurse said that 'yesterday a file turned up of your daughter Molly as for a whole year we have not been able to find the next of kin and that she has been in Canada with her father, you remember and she arrived yesterday after being picked up by police in Chelsea and she was suffering from shock from unknown reasons, she has been asking for you Miss Drake' 'Thank god' I said, 'Can I see her please?' 'Of course, we will fetch her now' the kindly nurse walked away to get her.

'MUMMY!' Molly ran into my room, her hair was crimped and she was in a 'Frankie says Relax top' but she was definitely my Molls. 'Ohh baby!' I cried, I cuddled her tight to me and whispered 'I know its weird but we must act normal and make the most of our new life' 'I know mum, we will be fine' I spoke to my doctor that evening and asked that he told no one of my recovery I wanted to surprise them.

He said that Gene had been through a tribunal and had been demoted to DI for 2 years for shooting me. I was shocked, they then told me that I had been promoted to DCI a month into my coma and when I wanted it I could return to Fenchurch East as DCI on a 2 year contract then when Gene got his job back I could go to another station, I was happy as I could do with the salary increase for me and molls but it felt wrong at the same time.

Me and Molly were discharged a week later and the doctor said any visitors I had would be told I was having tests or something similar, I was glad of this, I needed to adjust, during the day so the team would not see me I went back to my flat at Luigis and as I came through the door Luigi was there and looked at me and gasped 'Oh signorina Drake! Your back!' and ran and hugged me.

'Hello Luigi, yes but no one knows yet, and I want to keep it a secret for now so I can settle' 'Ohh si si, your secret is safe with me, you are like my own child! and who is this little lady may I ask' He looked at Molly know was beaming 'This is my little girl Molly' I said 'Hello Luigi I have heard so much about you and you're your restaurant!' Luigi was shocked; she sounded and looked just like her stunning mother. 'Ahh Bello bello singorina Drake!'

'Thank you Luigi' 'Have a good evening I will send some food up later, I will see you both soon!' And with that he hugged the two girls and went to serve quests. 'he is really nice Mum, I see why you love the place so much!' 'You don't know how amazing it is now you're here Molly!' I said as we climbed the stairs and opened the door,

Molly gasped 'Wow it's so cool mum!" the flat had obviously been cleaned and there was a folder on the coffee table with Molly's identify card and school details were on the table along with a suitcase with some stuff, I turned to her and said just me and you now Molly' and hugged her tightly changed my spare room into a room for Molly and then we set about making the spare room set for Molly, As we sat in front of the TV that evening I listened to her complain about the lack of TV and the small TV screen and felt a feeling I had not felt in a long time. Completion.

Wow. That's my first ever chapter finished, I hope you enjoy it, don't worry Galex fans, there will be some coming up and please tell me what you all think of the story line of Alex being the boss for a bit and Molly in this world, please R&R xxxx
