Sorry for the delay I was trying to decide where to take this story. Thank you all for the continued support, please keep reviewing. I just want to say that I don't think i've mentioned before but this is set some time after Kono and Adam's wedding so I guess it's a continuation of what season 5 could be although i'm not specifically writing for what I think will happen, it's more the time frame.
Also Alisa123- thanks for your reviews I also agree with you that how can therapy and constant questions help someone recover I so think it's a bit mad sometimes but I feel it's the appropriate actions that would have been taken in the scenario. This chapter will have one more session then moving forward. :)
Chapter ten
Kono shuffled in her seat, crossing and re-crossing her legs and sighing lifelessly. Adam smirked and grabbed her hand squeezing it softly before laying his other hand on her thigh. Adam new Kono hated these sessions, she would argue with him and tell him she didn't believe in all that, how can some shrink help someone recover from such an ordeal. He would listen and try and encourage her but she grew ever more frustrated. They had already had a few sessions individually, everyone had and Cath, Danny and Chin had been cleared for work already but today they would be talking as a couple.
" How are you both today?" Hilary asked after she settled in her seat.
"Pretty good" Adam smiled while Kono remained silent.
"Are you speaking for both of you or just yourself Adam?"
"Erm…" Adam stuttered as he looked to Kono.
"How are you feeling Kono?" Hilary asked.
"Fine" Kono shrugged.
Hilary smiled and jotted down some notes in her little red book. Kono frowned in annoyance.
"What are you writing?"
"I can't discuss that Kono, what I write is just for me to evaluate"
"Babe"
"No Adam she's doesn't write stuff down for you!"
"Kono you seem upset?"
"I'm annoyed!"
"Why?"
"I don't need to tell you anything how can you even help me?"
"Tell Adam"
"What?"
"One thing I've noticed with you Kono is you're incredibly strong, and with that come a stubborn streak which is causing you to resist these sessions. If you don't feel comfortable talking to me, talk to Adam and I'll just listen"
"I'm here for you Kono"
"Tell Adam what you're feeling right now, what you feel each day…just be honest, there absolutely no shame."
Kono swallowed audibly and took Adam's hand between both of hers. She felt stupid and hated talking to Hilary but she trusted Adam.
"I feel weak…and I keep getting nightmares…but I need to be strong for you because you went through worse" Kono admitted with vulnerability in her voice.
Adam felt bad and pulled Kono into a hug, wiping a stray tear.
"Kono you are not weak you have proved to be a very strong woman, and you are not the only one dealing with nightmares that's part of PTSD. With regards to Adam, you both went through the same thing but you suffered different injuries but that does not mean you have to put up walls because Adam will want to be there for you. you have to be there for each other."
Four months after the crash
The whole team were finally all back at work and Cath had re-joined the team, Danny and Kono had just finished rehab and were walking on their injured legs again, Steve has also recovered quickly and Chin and Cath were doing well. Adam had improved loads but still remained resting at home and taking things easy. Kono was now five months pregnant and on paperwork.
"Hey Steve good to see you!" Chin grinned as there fearless boss returned to work.
"Hey man!"
"Boss!" Kono smiled as she made her way over to Steve and hugging him best she could with her belly.
"Neanderthal" Danny muttered.
"Danno" Steve smirked as the two stared at each other for a moment before hugging. "Good to see you all"
"I know you've only just walked through the door man but we have leads"
Steve became stiff before following Chin's gaze to the smart table he was expecting to see someone who was after him, someone who had been in contact with Wo Fat but instead Gabriel Waincroft appeared in front of him.
"Chin…"
"The plane crash wasn't anything to do with you…it was me" Chin sighed as guilt consumed him.
"Mate"
"Cuz…why?"
"I don't know"
"Has Gabriel showed signs of getting to you before the crash?" Danny asked.
Chin bit his lip and sighed as he looked to Kono anxiously. He hadn't told anyone all the detail's relating to Gabriel, all they knew was Chin borrowed money from him and he had escaped prison.
"Cuz tell us"
"He kept ringing me, telling me cryptic stuff, he broke into my house and left those pictures of Adam" Chin informed speaking to Steve. "He re-appeared on Kono's wedding and put a gun to my head but he didn't shoot, he wants me to help him off the island but I say no and he never kills me, he keeps coming back, although I guess the fact he may have something to do with the plane means he might have tried to kill me."
"Chin man"
"He's after something, he has intentions" Steve concluded.
"Firstly what pictures of Adam, and secondly he held a gun to your head!" Kono exclaimed.
"Cuz…"
"No Chin explain"
"Kono the pictures were of Adam and an associate the one that told him he had to leave with nothing, it was nothing harmful, and Gabriel wanted to scare Chin"
"You knew"
"Kono we didn't want to tell you and worry you before the wedding"
"What about the gun at the wedding"
"It was when I went to get the rings but I wasn't going to ruin your wedding"
"You should have told me Chin!" Kono said sadly.
"Cuz"
Kono didn't wait around to listen to Chin, she was mad he hadn't told her about Gabriel and his actions and she was mad that it possibly led to their plane crashing. Just as she reached the door to exit she felt anger and frustration build in her stomach, her emotions taking over as she turned and spoke six words she would live to regret.
"It's your fault our plane crashed" and she left without looking back.
