Weeks after her ordeal, Nikki's physical wounds had healed, but the emotional effects remained.
"Harry" she called out as she lay curled up in a ball on their bed, tears streamed down her face. Even though they hadn't taken the final step in their relationship they had started sharing a bed days after Nikki was discharged from hospital, due to nightmares she had. Harry ran into the room, sat on the bed and pulled her into his arms. She gripped his shirt tightly, buried her head in his chest and sobbed. He kissed her head and rubbed her back with one hand, ran his other gently through her blonde hair and whispered soothing words to her. When her sobs quietened down she pulled away from him and he wiped her face with his thumb.
"The same nightmare?" he asked and she nodded, a few more tears leaked from her eyes which he wiped away
"Harry I love you" she mumbled
"I love you as well Nikki" Harry replied and leant down to kiss her. She wound her arms around his neck and ran one hand through his hair, making it stick up at odd angles, his hand wandered down her side making her shudder and came to rest on her hip. The kiss became even more passionate and Nikki started unbuttoning Harry's shirt, his own hands pushed under her t-shirt and ran over her stomach making her groan and tug at his shirt again. His hands went to her trousers and he was about to undo them when the phone rang. They both groaned and Harry pulled away from her and reached over to the bedside table and picked up his ringing mobile. He looked at the caller I.D.
"Leo" he mumbled against her lips, then pressed the off button on the still ringing phone "What a shame I didn't hear it" he said and threw it back on the table. Harry then looked down at the woman on his lap and grinned
"Have I ever told you how beautiful you are and how much I love you?" he asked and she blushed and pushed his shirt off his shoulders
"How about you show me?" she whispered into his ear and grinned as he pushed her down onto the bed.

Three months later and Nikki was back at work, the doctor had insisted that she should be on mandatory leave for at least that time. After a lot of persuading on her half and a lot of plotting on Harry and Leo's, she was allowed back. The three were now closer than they ever were and frequently got together at their houses for personal time between friends. The day after they consummated their relationship, Harry had asked Nikki to move in with him permanently and she eagerly accepted. Only once did Leo question if they were moving to fast, to which Harry replied 'We have been working together five years', Leo didn't question it again.

It took a further four months for everything to go back to the way it was before the attack. Nikki was allowed back into the main crime scenes, was off her medication and most of the nightmares had stopped, if she had had it her way she would have been back on the scene as soon as she was back at work but Harry and Leo were playing the part of the protective lover and 'father' and refused her. The wound had healed perfectly and there was only a scar left, she had been wary of letting Harry see it at first, but he had told her that it made her look even more beautiful.
Both Harry and Nikki had shared a lot of their past with each other and frequently sat down and talked about their lives before they turned up at the lab.
"My dad killed himself" Harry revealed one night as they lay in each others arms. Nikki's head on his chest and his arms wrapped around her
"I'm sorry" she mumbled and glanced up at him as he took a strand of hair in his fingers and started playing with it
"Don't be" he shrugged "I hardly knew him. I was ten but he never seemed to be around"
Nikki nodded in understanding
"I remember coming home from school, it was a Friday" Harry started and shifted into a more comfortable position "I was walking down the road when I saw the ambulance and police cars. It was December and the police were wrapped up in thick layers and it had been snowing" he paused and Nikki looked up and him and nodded "I was late home, been to the park with some friends and when I got to the gate they were just wheeling the trolley out of the garage, with a body bag on top" he paused again and Nikki brought his hand up to kiss it as he continued " a policeman walked over and told me he was dead, in the nicest possible way of telling a ten year old that his father had killed himself. I wasn't really that…" he searched for the right word "sad at the fact that he was dead, just the fact he had killed himself, so I ran off. When I came back hours later mum told me that he had locked himself in the car with the engine on, I don't think she would have told me if she wasn't so devastated. That's what made me want to become a pathologist"
There was silence for a few minutes
"Thank-you Harry" Nikki mumbled sleepily
"For what love?"
"Sharing that with me" she replied and closed her eyes.
