They made it through the summer relatively unscathed. Alex finally caved, with much cajoling from Bobby, and let Travis join the Cub Scouts. He had gone on his first camping trip in July, and loved every minute of it. While Alex had worried herself all but sick. It was the second week of school for Travis when disaster struck. Bobby and Alex had literally been chasing leads on their current case all day. Alex tripped on uneven sidewalk and broke her elbow. Bobby called for an ambulance and had to force himself not to touch Alex seeing the pain she was in he just wanted to fix it.

"Alex, I'm going with you." He had said as she stepped into the ambulance.

"No, you have to go and get Travis from school. I doubt I'll be done at the hospital before he gets out. Please Bobby don't fight me on this. My arm hurts like a bitch and I just want to see my son." She all but growled through gritted pain.

"Ok, so how about I go pick Travis up from school and we'll meet you at the hospital." Bobby put his hands up in defeat, backing away from the ambulance. On the way he notified the school that there was a family emergency and had them pull Travis so he'd be waiting in the office.

"So what's going on Uncle Bobby, how come I get to leave school early?" The boy was hoping there was some adventure waiting for him.

"Well your mom and I were running all over the city to talk to this guy about work and your mom fell and got a little banged up. So she went to the hospital just to get checked out. She might have a cast on, but she'll be ok. I'll make you a deal, if you can be brave and strong for us I'll get you that GameBoy you wanted." Bobby hoped the treat would keep his mind occupied.

"You have to promise that mom's gonna be ok. Promise that she's not gonna go away." Travis said biting his lip as a tear skittered down his cheek. The small boy brought his knees close to his chest and prayed that Momma Alex would be ok.

Bobby carried the boy through the parking lot into the emergency department. The wait at the reception desk for a nurse to notice them felt like it took an eternity. When they were finally acknowledged Bobby pulled out his badge.

"I need to be taken to Alexandra Eames she came in with a broken elbow." He said firmly.

"Right this way officer." As they were lead down the hallway to the exam rooms Bobby held Travis close trying to reassure him that everything was going to be ok. Sitting the boy on the bed on Alex's good side Bobby stepped back letting her work her own magic to let Travis know she was fine. He grabbed her around the neck crying into her shoulder.

"Hey you," she said soothingly, trying to calm him, "I'm not going anywhere for a long time. I'm ok really; you can even sign the cast when we get home." That eased his fears and he moved away from her scrubbing his eyes, trying to be brave. He looked to Bobby and smiled at the thumbs up he received. Cuddling back into Alex Travis really felt that everything was going to be ok. The doctor came in then with instructions for Alex.

"I've written you a prescription for vicodin, even if you don't use it I recommend you get it filled, just in case. If there is any swelling, or the cast starts to cut off circulation come back here. You'll need to keep it on for at least six weeks; we'll get you to a specialist in three for X-Rays to make sure it's healing properly. As long as there isn't a lot of lingering pain you should be able to return to work in about five days. Do you have someone to take you home? With the meds we gave you I'd recommend you not drive." The doctor said handing Alex the discharge papers to sign.

"Don't worry doctor, we'll get her home and resting right away, what do you say sport, you ready to break your mom outta here?" Bobby directed at Travis.

"Yeah, can we get Chinese on the way home since mom can't cook?" Travis asked as they left the hospital.

Alex hated being so dependent on others. She had been doing fine on her own for so long that turning to Bobby for mundane things made her feel like a child. It wasn't all that bad though, Bobby had practically moved in claiming it was easier to help her if he didn't have to drive almost a half hour.

"Damnit how much longer do I have to wear this God-forsaken cast!" Alex yelled when her arm got tangled up yet again in her sleeve.

"The doctor said the bones were knitting together well, and it should only be another couple of weeks." Bobby hoped to sooth her, when she turned and gave him her 'kiss my ass' look he realized it wasn't going to work. After struggling for several seconds Alex admitted defeat and rounded the bed turning her back to Bobby so he could unhook her bra.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap. I just can't get over the fact that after so many years on the force it was a sidewalk that was my downfall. How can I be a cop and a cool mom when I have such crappy stories?" Alex moaned deep in her throat as Bobby's warm hands rubbed the tension out of the small of her back. This she could get used to Alex thought to herself as soft kisses were reined up her spine.

"You are a damn fine mother, cop or not. Just wait, when Travis reaches high school you'll be the bane of his existence. No one will want to hang out with a kid whose mom's a cop." Bobby hoped the humor would reach her this time, and if it didn't then maybe the kisses he was placing gently on her neck and shoulder would. Unhooking the bra Bobby wound his arms around Alex's stomach pulling her against him.

"If that comment was supposed to reassure me, it didn't work, but you keep that up and I won't remember what we were talking about." Alex ground out the last bit on another moan.

Turning in his arms Alex pulled Bobby down, when their lips met it was like the world stopped. There was heat and passion, and a knowledge of one another in the kiss that came in waves. When they pulled apart for air appreciation, want and awe flashed in Bobby's eyes. Alex could feel the blush start at her collarbone and work its way up her neck to her cheeks and down across her breasts. He nipples hardened she wasn't sure if it was from the intense gaze or the ceiling fan. Alex's breath caught in her throat as Bobby's hands explored her skin barely touching, he memorized her this way with a soft pressure that she was aware of down to her core. Stepping away from her he stripped then hating the loss he felt at not touching her. When he came back to her it was with the same reverence in his hands, as if she was a gift meant just for him to unwrap. He pulled her with him onto the bed quickly ridding her of the last of her clothing. She was open to him then and he took the opportunity to study her, memorize everything about her. She did the same feasting on him with hands and eyes. Alex thought she would lose it when placed slow gentle kisses on every inch of her skin. She was wrong, when he entered her for the first time her world shattered into unrecognizable pieces, coming back together as they found a rhythm. For a brief second she saw perfection as she climaxed he quickly followed suit. They lay together afterward the sweat cooling on their overheated skin, neither one knowing what to say, at the same time they realized they didn't have to say anything.

That's all I got for this chapter. Love it or hate, let me know.
