Hey guys, so here's another short little oneshot. Didn't turn out totally the way I wanted but hopefully it's still good. The begining is a little bit, okay probably way to similar, to the story Invisble Pieces by Cloverlynd. It is an outstanding fic and you guys have got to read it! Also huge thanks to my friend Katie who wrote the summary for me. Don't forget to let me know what you think! ENJOY!
Summary: Nothing. A thought and word that still haunts her. A nightmare. All it takes to shake her world and make her realize she needs him more than she thought.
"He has no pulse!" Alex screamed desperately.
"Alright listen Alex. Focus, he needs the rest of the cocktail. You're in a med lab they've got to have the goods in there somewhere." Birkhoff said doing his best to stay calm.
Alex ran over to the cabnit. She quickly grabbed a needle and brought it over the tray where the vial had spilt.
"Birkhoff, how much again?" Alex asked Birkhoff through the comm.
"2cc."
"How fast?"
"Just keep it steady. I'll count you down."
She took a deep breathe and closed her eyes. "Go"
"1, 2, 3..." Birkhoff said
Alex pushed the plunder of the syringe as it brought a steady flow of the yellow liquid into Sean's arm.
"7, 8. That's it. Stop! That's enough!"
Alex held her breathe as she waited for Sean to react. After about three seconds she began to panic.
"Birkhoff, he's not waking up what do I do?" When there was silence on the other end she yelled again. "BIRKHOFF! What the hell am I supposed to do!"
"Alex I don't know. It should've worked. His heart most of been stopped for to long. I'm sorry there's nothing you can do." Birkhoff replied sadly.
"No. No! no , no, no, no" Alex started saying to herself. "Sean, wake up... Sean! Wake up!" she screamed as she began to give him CPR.
Sean walked up the stairs to his and Alex's appartment. He had stayed in Division's hospital and was finally cleared to get rid of his sling. Ryan said it would be fine for him to go home, as long as he was careful. Seeing as it was now 11 o'clock at night he figured it'd be safe, but he still made sure to keep his head down as he walked out of his car and up the stairs of the apartment building. He had just put his key in the door and moved to open it when he heard Alex screams coming from inside. Fear instantly coursed through him as Sean quickly pushed open the door and ran into their bedroom. Expecting to see someone trying to hurt Alex he was ready for the worst. What surprised him was that Alex was alone tossing and turning.
"Sean! SEAN NO!" She screamed.
Sean ran over to her. "Alex! Alex! Wake up!" He said
"Alex! Alex wake up its okay!" Sean yelled as he knelt at her bedside. Alex continued to toss in the bed.
"Alex!" Sean yelled once more as he grabbed her shoulders.
Alex shot up into a sitting position, nearly hitting Sean face first as she did. Her breathing was shallow and ragged and she remembered the horrors of her nightmare. "Hey, it's okay." Sean said calmly.
Alex turned to face him and instantly wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. She cried hard into the space between his shoulder and neck as she ran her hands across his back and through his hair, needing reassurance that he was actually there with her. Sean was surprised at first but quickly wrapped his arms tightly around Alex's waist pulling her closer to him. They stayed their, wrapped in each others arms until Alex had finally calmed down. Although the occasional tear still slipped down her cheek.
"Alex you're okay. Everything's okay." Sean said soothingly. "You want to talk about it?" He asked her. Making sure as to not to push her to discuss her nightmare with him.
"I couldn't save you." Alex mumbled into his neck. He was lucky he knew her so well and that he could understand her, must people probably couldn't her voice was so muffled. "I tried, but it didn't work and I lost you." She said, new tears now steaming down her face.
"When?" Sean asked not quit sure what she was talking about.
"When we had to get you out of the CIA. Sean, after you died, before I revived you, you were so pale. So lifeless." Alex shuddered as she remembered unzipping the body bag and seeing Sean's dead body in front of her. "In my nightmare it didn't work. You didn't come back." Alex chocked out.
Sean's heart broke as he looked at Alex. "Hey, that didn't happen. Okay? I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere." He said.
"Don't make promises you can't keep Sean." Alex said sadly. She knew in this line of work, a promise like that wasn't one easily kept.
Sean cupped her face as he looked at her. "Alex for the rest of my life I will do everything in my power to make sure everyone gets out of this fight alive. You've all been through so much, you deserve a chance at a normal life."
Alex hugged him again. "I love you Sean." She whispered.
Sean smiled. "I love you too Alex. Let's get some sleep." He said. He moved back from her and moved to the top of the bed pulling the covers up over him. Alex slid into the spot next to him. She placed her head and her hand on Sean's chest as she listened to the steady beat of his heart. Sean kissed her forehead and in minutes the two of them were in a deep sleep, their breathing synchronized and for the first time in weeks Alex slept completely peaceful.
