Chapter 12: First Night Back

Alex, Walker, and Angela arrived at the hospital half an hour later. Alex was still holding onto Angela, not wanting to let go of her, for she feared Angela would be taken away from them again. The doctor saw them right away and just like Trivette had thought, Angela's arm was broken. Angela held onto her mommy's hand the whole time the doctor was working on her arm.

"What color of a cast would you like?" the doctor asked Angela.

"Pink." Angela told him and Alex looked at Walker and smiled. Yep that was there daughter all right, the one in love with pink.

Walker and Alex took Angela home for the night. They has both agreed that their daughter had been through too much in the past week and the best thing for her, for all of them, was to go home and get some much needed sleep, not to mention a little peace and quiet.

By the time they arrived home, Angela was fast asleep. Walker gently picked her up and carried her into the house, trying really hard not to wake his sleeping daughter. He went upstairs and put her in her bed, Alex was close behind him. They stood in the doorway for several minutes, both enjoying the sight before them, the sight they had both longed to see over the past days.

Several minutes pasted before Walker and Alex decided to go downstairs and fix dinner. They had just started when they heard Angela cry out in her sleep. They both ran up the stairs as fast as they could and were in their daughter's room a few moments later.

Angela was sitting up in her bed, tears running down her cheeks. Her left arm laid in her lap and her right hand was wiping away the tears as they fell from her eyes.

"MOMMY! DADDY!" Angela cried out when they entered the room.

"What is it Angel?" Walker asked as Alex sat down beside Angela and he kneeled in front of her.

"I had a bad dream." Angela told them. She then buried her head in Alex and started to cry.

"It's okay. Mommy and Daddy are here now." Alex started to tell Angela as her and Walker tried to calm her down.

"Mommy…." Angela said as she looked up at Alex with tears running down the side of her face. "…..is that bad man ever going to hurt me again?"

"No sweetie, he isn't." Alex told her young daughter.

"Daddy…." Angela paused before she asked her next question. "…..is he ever going to take me away from you and mommy again?"

"No Angel. He's never going to because we aren't ever going to let him." Walker stopped and then continued. "Do you want to tell us about your dream?"

"Not right now daddy, I just want to eat." Angela said.

"Come on." Alex said and she stood and picked Angela up. "Dinner's almost ready."

Alex carried Angela downstairs and Walker followed.

Twenty minutes later they sat down and ate dinner together. Angela didn't say too much throughout dinner but she ate a lot. Alex had noticed that Angela felt a little lighter when she picked her up and feared that her daughter had gone without food. But Alex couldn't let that bother her right now but she would make sure to bring it up with Walker later.

After dinner the entire Walker family sat down to watch a movie, the same thing they had planned to do the weekend that Angela had been kidnapped. Walker and Alex let Angela pick out the movie and it wasn't long after she laid down on them that Angela was fast asleep.

Walker and Alex paused the movie, figuring they would finish watching it with Angela in the morning.

This time Walker carried Angela upstairs and put her in her bed. And just like when they had first brought Angela home that day, Walker and Alex stood in the doorway and watched their daughter sleep. A few minutes paused before they headed to their bedroom.

Alex was just about to tell Walker what was bothering her when Angela came into their bedroom.

"Mommy, daddy. Can I sleep with you guys tonight? I don't want to be alone." Angela sat as she walked into their bedroom carrying her stuffed horse.

"Sure Angel." Walker said as he got out of bed and helped Angela up.

And that's how the Walker family fell asleep that night. Laying together in Walker and Alex's bed, trying to forget everything that had happened over the past few days.
