"It's open Alexx." Calleigh called when her doorbell rang an hour later.

"You know you really should keep your door locked." Alexx advised. "You know the kind of people who are out there."

"I was expecting you." Calleigh replied.

"How did you know I was dropping by sugar?" Alexx inquired.

"I told Horatio to leave, so I guessed he would call you to check up on me."

"He's just concerned about you." Alexx said taking a seat next to where Calleigh was sat with her leg propped up. "What happened?"

"He came and told me I should be off my feet and then asked where Magda was. He was exactly I had sent her home because she was driving me crazy. I can manage by myself."

"Cal you only got out of hospital a week ago you need to take it easy. Your shoulder still isn't healed properly so you need to use the crutches as little as possible, we talked about this."

"I know. I've spent most of my time on the couch or in bed; I've been taking it easy. But he's being too over protective, so I told him to leave and that I would see him on Monday."

"Calleigh, honey, he's only like that because you scared the hell out of him, out of all of us. You should have seen Eric when you were talking to him on the phone." Alexx told.

"I know. You've all been great, but I feel like I've been suffocating."

"Calleigh, have you talked to anyone baby?"

"I saw the department psychologist at the hospital twice and once this week. She's given me the all clear to go back to work."

"What did you discuss?"

"Alexx that comes under doctor patient confidentiality."

"I know baby, but did you discuss the fact that you haven't accepted that you lived, when somewhere in your brain you think you should have died after you fell."

"Alexx…" Calleigh said. "That's crazy…"

"No it's not. Baby, I know you and somewhere in that pretty little head of you think you should have died. But you didn't, you're alive and somewhere in there you think pushing people away means they won't get hurt if the worst did happen."

"Alexx…"

"Tell me I'm wrong." Alexx crossed her arms.

"Alexx... You're… you're…" Calleigh couldn't quite out get the words out. "You know that first night I was out of it, I was babbling in Spanish and Horatio, I'm pretty sure he told me he loves me."

"He does." Alexx replied. "But you didn't answer my questioned."

"Because you're probably right."

"I have a friend who is a psychologist; she has nothing to do with Miami-Dade PD. Perhaps you should talk to her, you can talk over your fears about dying, Horatio and anything else you don't feel comfortable talking over with the rest of us." Alexx suggested.

"You don't think I'm crazy?"

"Calleigh, you are one of the sanest people I know, especially considering what we see everyday. But talking to someone can help you figure out where you are, maybe find an answer to some questions that you need answering."

"Okay."

"I'll give her a call."
