Preface- The Truth
The Truth can be a good thing... well in most cases anyway.
But in the case of Gene Hunt, the truth for Alex Drake was too heartbreaking for her to think about as she paced back and forth in the White room, trying to settle baby Sam Hunt to sleep.
Sam's cries rang out in Alex's ears as she tried to get her head around the was meant to be the best day of Alex and Gene's lives together, the day baby Sam was Gene had disappeared an hour after Sam was born and Keats had shown up afterwards to tell Alex the truth about Gene which had destroyed Alex's happiness.
And Alex knew she had to keep fighting, fight for her son, fight for the man she loved, but as Sam fell asleep in the glass tank everything was clouded by Alex's feeling of confusion, hurt and knew that she had no energy left to fight as she collapsed into a deep sleep on the white sheets of the bed that she'd five hours ago given birth to her son in with Gene by her side. Now she had her baby boy but... She had no Gene. And she knew she'd never have her Gene.
Cause as Alex slept, Gene was doing everything he could to keep his life with Alex and baby Sam from collapsing. Because Keats was pushing on the walls of Gene Hunt's world and Gene knew if he lost Alex and his son to Keats that the walls of his world would collapse. And Gene only had this to say as he stood outside Keats office.
"Forgive Me, Alex." Gene muttered the words under his breath before opening the door to the end of his life with Alex.
