UNTETHERED
Why had she let him?
She should have known it would end badly!
And now he was there sleeping in a hospital bed.
Captain Ross had accompanied him and he was there to inquire about his condition through the doctor.
Ross comes back to her.
She was sitting in the chair, which stood next to Goren's bed.
He put his hand on her shoulder.
- According to the doctor, Goren will need a lot of rest and especially to rehydrate well! He turned his attention to Goren's sleeping body, If this had lasted any longer he could have stayed there!
Alex felt his heart break!
She had almost lost him!
How would she have done without him!
How would she have explained to her son, the loss of his father, when Jamie adored his father more than anything!
- I'll go Eames! Are you staying a little longer?
Alex turned his attention to Ross, nodding.
Yes she would stay close to him.
Ross knew Eames was very close to his partner. He knew it must have upset the young woman! She was so devoted to Goren!
Ross picked up his phone, and left, leaving Eames alone by Goren's bedside.
As soon as Ross walked away, she moved closer to Goren, touching his hand and kissing his forehead.
He opened his eyes.
Eames was hunched over him.
It looked like an angel.
Maybe he was in heaven!
His vision cleared even more and he realized he was in the hospital!
What was he doing there?
- Alex ... What is ... this ...
He was having trouble speaking.
Eames put his hand over his mouth, silencing him.
- Don't talk! Dehydration is what makes it difficult!
The dehydration ?
He really didn't see what she was talking about.
By the expression he was making, she understood he didn't remember anything.
He must have forgotten the hell he had been through and it was for the best.
Alex put his hand on her brown curls, stroking them.
She had such a sad face.
Which broke Goren's heart!
What had he done to hurt her so much?
He was very good at doing anything!
- Alex ... Tell ... me!
He brought his hand to her cheek, stroking it.
Alex put his hand on hers, relishing the caress.
"As always, you wanted to play the hero!" She was pained, but anger roared in her! All for your nephew Donny!
Donny? His nephew ?
Little by little it came to his mind.
He now remembered what had happened.
A muffled anger invaded him.
All because of his brother!
He should never have listened to her.
In the end Donny had escaped!
He had done all this for nothing, at the risk of losing his job! To leave your health there! And all this to hurt Alexandra even more!
He stood up, pushing back the sheets!
But Alex stopped him, putting his hands on his chest.
- No ! You're not going anywhere!
Alex understood!
He had realized what had happened and she knew he wanted to go see his brother and ask for an explanation.
But he wasn't fit, and she wouldn't let him get out of bed!
Goren looked at Alex, she looked decided and he knew when she was like that there was no point in pushing!
Besides, he didn't want to hear her scream!
Reluctantly, he sank back onto the bed, but pulled her towards him.
Alex fell in surprise with his head on his chest.
She looked up, seeing a Goren having fun!
Two seconds before he was mad at his brother and now he was amused!
Alex was so fun watching him like that.
She was glaring at him!
Was he kidding her?
He brought his hand to her golden hair, stroking it.
- I'm not making fun of you!
As always he read her like an open book.
She made a face.
He grabbed her by the neck, bringing his face closer to her.
He gently took her lips.
What he wanted to tend turned into something passionate.
He deepened her kiss, stroking her back.
He let his hands wander all over her tiny body, lifting up the shirt she was wearing.
But Alex stopped his gesture, pulling away and trying to catch his breath.
- Bobby, you're not fit!
He smiles.
She was cute to worry about him.
Yes he felt that his body was tired, but he wanted to touch her, to feel her vibrated!
Moreover they were alone and for once they could ...
Alex shook his head.
- We can't take the risk! She stroked his cheek. Ross was there not even five minutes ago. She turned her attention to the door. And imagine him coming back, we'd be toast!
Alex was right as usual. And she was still the voice of reason.
Yes, he hadn't thought you could see them!
Reluctantly, he withdrew his wandering hands from his body.
- Jamie?
She smiles.
He was thinking of their little boy.
She hadn't wanted to worry the little boy about his father's condition.
If he had seen her on his hospital bed, how would the little one have reacted?
She remembered how the little one had been unhappy to see her in the hospital.
She had wanted to protect the little one from this sight.
He adored his father too much to put up with such a scene.
- I'm sorry, but I didn't say anything to him! She looked down, blaming herself. But I didn't want him to see you like this.
Bobby didn't blame Alex for wanting to protect his son from this scene.
He remembered how he had been after Alexandra was hospitalized.
No longer able to sleep, and crying every night.
He and Alex couldn't leave the little one's bedside, because the moment he left his bedside he was screaming.
He put his hand on Alex's chin, lifting his face up.
- I understand ... and you did ... well!
He didn't hold it against her. On the contrary, he was grateful to her.
He didn't want to see his son again in the state he had seen him the last time.
It was too painful.
Alex was relieved.
She had been afraid he would take it the wrong way, but not at all.
He put an arm around her waist, pulling her close, resting his head on her hair.
- When I'm better, the three of us will go out!
Alex lifted his head, looking at Bobby.
Did she hear correctly?
He nodded, smiling.
Alex brought his fingers to his lips, stroking them.
She loved his smile.
He took her hand, kissing her fingers.
- Jamie will be happy!
Alex nodded.
Jamie was going to be more than happy to make a family outing.
He had talked to Annie about it, who had told him about it.
The little one dreamed of going to the big New York aquarium but with his mum and dad.
And today his father was going to grant one of his dearest wishes.
How she loved her Bobby.
