'we were on a shout I had left to retrieve the spinal board and neck brace, as I approached the van I noticed something was off with the back door it should have been shut and locked but it wasn't' She explained to the court as another flashback hit her.

'Dixie soon realised something was off when she approached the ambulance and noticed the back door was open ajar, she knew straight away that was wrong because she had been the one to shut the back door.'

'Please continue Mrs Collier, what did you do next?' prompted her lawyer noticing her hesitation.

'I...I went in to open the side door, I thought we would ring the police if anything was missing, our patient was in a lot of pain' she carried on trying to rationalise her actions more to herself than to the court.

'What happened next Mrs Collier?' questioned her lawyer.

'I remember someone dressed in black jumped out as I opened the door' she explained 'a rush of black came hurtling towards her knocking her to the ground.' 'But then I don't remember anything before waking up in ICU' she went on to admit. She sighed as she ran a hand over her swollen stomach, in some ways she wished she could remember the attack more clearly she'd been getting weird flashbacks ever since but she hadn't told Jeff he would only worry.

As she looked up to the public viewing area she saw Jeff looking down at her smiling in encouragement. Things had changed between them since she had woken up a year ago. Dixie herself had changed considerably, her wish to become a mother had increased and Jeff had also agreed then a couple of months ago Dixie had found out she was pregnant she was now 4 months and slowly starting to show.

She smiled at herself as she remembered her conversation to Jeff they were both incredibly happy at the prospect of their very own child. However, she quickly got annoyed with him he had been protective before but now he wouldn't let her do anything so she had decided to keep her flashbacks to herself.

Not long after she had returned home the police had informed her that they had arrested someone on suspicion of aggravated assault that person was who she was testifying against today James Cunningham his son had died in a fire a couple of months previous to her attack he claimed Jeff and Dixie hadn't even tried to save his son. He slowly became the main suspect as he was caught on CCTV hanging around the ambulance bays.

A few hours after being told she could leave the court she found herself sat in her room starring at the fuzzy image of her baby, her cross examination had been brutal and had shaken her up. A knock on her door stirred her from her thoughts. 'Yeah' she answered encouraging Jeff to come in.

'Hey, Princess how you feeling?' he asked he had been worried about her but knew she needed some time to herself.

'Why didn't I go in? Why didn't I try?' She asked looking completely haunted by the questions. She slowly began to sob, Jeff ran to her sitting on the bed he pulled her into a tight hug rubbing his hand over her stomach.

'Hey don't you dare blame yourself that fire was raging by the time we got there, you tried, we both tried but even if we had gotten in we wouldn't be here ourselves' He tried to reassure her 'And we wouldn't have our Lil princess' he added continuing to rub circles around her stomach, Dixie moved and placed her hand over his, relaxing into hug she began to calm down he was right she could only do so much.

Dixie soon fell asleep in Jeff's arm's he managed to move them down so they were lieing on the bed but refused to move, he soon fell asleep himself.

He wasn't sure what had woken him at first, until it happened again Dixie was thrashing about beside him screaming 'No please No!' If he wasn't in the same room as her he would have thought she was being attacked and then it hit him she was re-living it.

'Dixie wake up, its all a dream' he said grabbing her arms but she didn't hear him her face a mask of fear and pain. 'DIX PLEASE wake up!' He tried again and kept calling until she slowly opened her eyes looking up at him with confusion.

'What are you doing here?' She asked confused as to why he was in her room but also trying to hide her anxiety over her dream, she had just re lived her entire attack it was the first time since she had been having flashbacks and she knew he would only worry.

'What do you remember?' he asked avoiding her question he could see the fear in her eyes and knew she had remembered something.

'Nothing it was just a bad dream?' She lied looking away from his gaze biting her lip to avoid crying.

'Rubbish, I know when your lieing Dix and you've been acting weird for a couple of weeks now. Tell me princess you know I'm here for you' he insisted letting go of her arms and returning to lye beside her.

'everything' she sighed trying to hide the tears that had welled up in her eyes 'him jumping out and on to me, every single blow, my begging for help and him leaving me barley hanging on to life' she explained.

It ended up being an incredibly long emotional night for the two of them, for the first time since she woke up Jeff explained what he had gone through his fears and guilt. He also explained how he had punched the wall because of her shampoo. Dixie revealed what had happened while she was in the coma she explained that she could hear everything but she had her own fears which stopped her from trying to wake up and how at some points it was like a dream and at others it was like she was stuck.

They both fell asleep again at around 4am but neither admitted their fears over the day ahead.

'Jeffrey move or I'll be sick on you' Dixie exclaimed pushing him off the bed as she ran to the toilet.

'Damn morning sickness' he muttered rubbing at his bottom from where he had landed on the floor. Lil Abs came pounding in the room jumping on Jeff before he could get up. 'Come on buddy I've just woken up' he begged as the dog began to thoroughly lick his face. 'On second thoughts' he muttered as the sound of retching reached his ears 'lets go into the garden' he said pulling himself up and running down the stairs. Dixie had a tendency to throw things at him when she was having a bout of morning sickness telling him how it was his fault she felt awful and fat. He knew it was her hormones but there was only so many times he could successfully dodge the loo brush.

He shuddered as the crisp morning air hit his naked arms and legs as he stood outside the back door. Out of no where a jug of ice cold water landed on his head 'aaaaaarrrrrrrrr' he screeched 'what the hell' he shouted looking up to find Dixie leaning out of the bathroom window.

'I hate you!' she shouted 'next time it wont be water.' Jeff called the dog in and quickly ran up the stairs just as Dixie came out of the bathroom. He had learned not to react to her mood swings very quickly in her pregnancy so he grabbed her in a bone crushing hug and planted a wet soppy kiss on her cheek.

'Mornin Princess!' He shouted enthusiastically.

'Get off me you baboon' She shouted laughing at him as he attempted to look hurt by her insult.

After getting changed into their court clothes both Jeff and Dixie left the house and set off for the court house. Today they learned whether her attacker was going to be found guilty or not.

Both of them entered the gallery nervously and as they sat in the front row behind her lawyer Jeff put his hand over Dixie's and squeezed it reassuring her that he was there for her no matter what.

'All rise for the honourable judge Jackson' called the court officer as they all stood the ageing man walked into the room and sat at his chair, before she sat back down Dixie looked around and was shocked to see many of their friends from the ED where there.

'Before we start I wish to say some words. The crime which brought us all here today is at it's simplest one of the worst attacks I have witnessed against another human in my whole time as a judge. It is only through the professionalism and quick thinking of the people around you that this young women survived, now no matter what the result today I wish to once again alliterate the fact that violence on such a level is in no way condonable' Explained the Judge addressing the whole court. 'Now have the jury reached a decision?' he asked the representative for the jury.

'We have your honour' she confirmed.

'On the charge of aggravated assault how do you find the defendant?' he asked.

Dixie held her breath she was sure the women was pausing on purpose.

'Guilty' She explained Dixie almost cried out in relief.

The judge nodded then asked 'On the charge of attempted murder, how do you find the defendant?'

They had been told that for aggravated assault the man would only serve 1-4 years and so her lawyer had pushed for attempted murder. Although Dixie felt sorry for the man after he had lost his son she feared for the safety of her unborn child and wanted him to not be a danger for as long as possible so she agreed.

'Not guilty' The women replied. Dixie felt sick this man would be able to get to her again if he wanted, Jeff sensed her anxiety and held her hand harder.

'Thank you' replied the Judge, 'Mr Cunningham please stand' he went on to instruct, as the man stood he looked towards Dixie, which earned a small growl from Jeff.

'Mr Cunningham I sentence you to 4 years in Jail, possible parole at 2 but only with good behaviour, jailer please remove this man from my court' he instructed.

After the man had been lead out of the room the judge turned and looked at Dixie 'Mrs Collier, I would like to commend you on your bravery, what you did this past week must have been emotionally draining but now I hope you have received a sense of justice and you can move forward from everything. I wish you and your husband all the luck for the future.' He said earning a smile and small thanks from her before the court was dismissed.

'Come on darlin' lets go to the pub' She added grabbing Jeff's arm and dragging him out of the room.

'Best thing you've ever said' He laughed 'If your lucky I'll even buy you a coke' he added laughing at her knowing glare.

'Shut it Jeffrey, otherwise it will coke for you too' she threatened laughing as Jeff moved to pretend to zip his lips shut.
