Author's Note: This one shot story idea came to me when I was making lunch and humming the song "One Song and it got stuck in my head.

Chapter 1: Too Late?
Bobby had been intensely interrogating Jo Gage trying to get in her head and make her confess her crimes and her kidnapping and torture of Alex. Just as she had buckled and given her written statement he was summoned by their Captain.
Bobby went out with a bad feeling about this.
"Goren you need to go to the hospital. John Eames just called; your partner has taken a turn for the worse and is not expected to make it. Go and take all the time you need should you decide to take time off."
With that Goren was off to the hospital.
Right as he got to Alex's room he saw seven people surrounding Alex's bedside, keeping vigil, her parents John and Andrea, her three siblings younger sister Liz, older brothers Ethan and Bryce, and even their former Captain Jimmy Deakins and his wife Angie, all with their heads down. John then realized Bobby had arrived and had the family and friends there move over so Bobby could be closer to Alex.
When he saw her, his heart broke…there must be something he could do but he was not sure. When he saw her last she was semi-conscious but now he was not even sure what to feel or think.
Phase in the Snow White song "One Song"
One Song
I have but one song
One song
Only for you
One heart
Tenderly beating
Ever entreating
Constant and true
One love
That has possessed me
One love
Thrilling me through
One song
My heart keeps singing
Of one love
Only for you
After a few minutes Bobby with tears falling down his face, bent down and gave Alex one last kiss on the lips and whispered "I love you" and thinking he was never going to see her again and then lowered his head as well.
Then suddenly a miracle happened.
The monitor which had been monitoring Alex's heart rate that been showing the steady decrease of her heart rate suddenly started to show a steady increase of her heart rate.
It was not long before Alex slowly opened her eyes trying to get her vision to focus.
All of a sudden Alex's family noticed and couldn't believe their eyes…Alex woke up!
When the family made all sorts of happy glees, Bobby was wondering what was going on and then he saw with his own eyes, his beautiful and no nonsense partner was awake!
Alex then spoke a few short wispy words, "What is going on?"
Andrea then through her tears answered, "Oh sweetheart we are just happy you are awake…we almost lost you. But then Bobby did something and here you are."
Bobby then spoke up, "Alex I-I have s-something I want to say to you and need to say it now because I have been k-keeping it in for too long."
Bobby lowered his head and whispered into her ears, "I love you Alexandra, I have been in love with you for a long time now."
With that said Bobby felt a big sigh of relief and Alex smiled a weak smile and thought, He loves me!
After all the commotion died down and the doctor had come and gone after hearing about the miracle it was just Bobby, Jimmy and Angie with Alex, he decided to make a quick call.
"Captain I have a phone call to make I will be right back."
Jimmy looked at Bobby and said, "Bobby I am no longer your CO you can call me Jimmy."
"U-uh o-ok."
Excusing himself he decided he needed to make a call to their current CO, Captain Ross. Even though they didn't usually get along he had the right to know.
"Hello, this is Captain Danny Ross of MCS speaking."
"Captain Ross, it is Bobby Goren."
For some reason Ross was had the worst feeling and it was making him nervous.
"Go ahead Goren."
Bobby breathed and said, "Eames is awake, she is going to be fine."
That piece of news threw Ross off track but then said, "That is great news Goren."
"Yes, yes it is."
Indeed it was great news all around.
