Sarah laid naked in her bed, tears streaming from her eyes, while he father had his way with her. The young girl grabbed the sheet from under her and scrunched it in her fist. She begged for him to stop, but he wouldn't. "No, let me go. NO…no…no." "If you tell anyone. I'll kill ya." "Don Kelly, You are sentenced to five years in jail for the brutal rape and sexual molestation of you daughter." "If you tell anyone I'll kill ya." "You're just like your mother, you little bitch." "If you tell anyone I'll kill ya." "Stop it. Stop. Let go of me. No. Stop it."

"Sarah?" Tom tired to wake the girl in the bed beside him. Her arms were wailing and she was screaming. He didn't know what to do. "Baby, please stop." HE tried to shake her to make her wake up "Baby…" Then he was hit in the face. He rubbed it off and turned back to the woman in his bed.

Sarah's eyes opened and saw a figure trying to hold her. She quickly pushed him "Get away from me." She screamed. She got off the bed quickly. Tom ran and turned on the light.

Sarah's heart was racing but once she saw Tom in the light she calm down and sat back on the bed with her back facing the man.

Tom moved towards the bed and sat down beside her. He was debating weather of not to put around her. In the end he did and she fell onto his chest and started sobbing.

It has been two weeks since the shooting. The night's that Tom had spent with, which was mostly weekend, she had woke up with the same nightmare and as every night she didn't want to tell him. He was sure that the same thing happened when she was at him.

During her recovery from the bullet wound, Tom had spent every minute he had off being with Sarah and Ally. He grew closer to both of them and was almost inseparable.

"Are you doing to tell me tonight?" He asked her hoping she would trust him enough to tell him. She just shook her head. "Come on, Sarah. You are going to have to trust me. I want know what's wrong, maybe I can help." There was silence for a few minutes as he held her closer and tighter.

"Remember what I told you about my father?" She finally gave in to tell him. Tom nodded his head "Yeah?" Sarah sighed deeply and stalled for a few seconds. "Well that encounter with that man…you know the one who shot me…it reminded me of my father." Tom closed his eyes and kissed her head "I'm sorry." Sarah held on to him tighter "My dreams are about him. When he raped me…he told never to tell anyone or else…" She didn't want to continue but she knew Tom would want to know "…or else he would kill me." Tom light pushed her away so her could look at her face. "But you did tell." Sarah nodded her head slowly "When I found out I was pregnant with Ally, I didn't know what to do…well he was sent to prison…he will be free soon." Tom looked at her warily "You don't think he would…" Sarah knew exactly what Tom was meaning, "Kill me." She finished his sentence "He might. Maybe that's why I'm so scared." Tom pulled her close again "I won't let him touch you. I promise you I won't let him touch you."

A few weeks after Sarah told Tom about her nightmares, he took her out for lunch. They were both done with their cases and had the rest of the day.

They sat in the restaurant and waited for there order. Tom was telling Sarah about the case that Harry was on and how they were trying to teach him to be a gangster. "You a gangster?" Sarah said trying not to laugh. "Yeah, I said that too." He smiled. "Well, I'm glad you are not involved in that gang war. I won't want you to get hurt. So be glad you are not gangster material." Tom laughed. "Yeah no kidding. Now that's enough about work."

"Who was your parent teacher meeting last night?" Sarah's smiled faded. "It felt weird. You know it was my first meeting there, and seeing all the parents. They looked at me as if I was an animal on display. They probably thought I was a little slut, having no husband." She looked down at her hands. "Sarah you are far from a slut." He placed his hand on top of her. "And for the husband thing, I may have a solution." With his other he pulled out a small box.

Sarah covered her mouth when she saw the box "Tom, what are you doing?" Tom opened the box and there was a small diamond ring inside "I want to be you husband?" Sarah felt her heart racing. "Tom…we only known each other for a few months" Tom smiled "We can wait a year or two before we get married. But I love you and I want to marry you." Sarah took a deep breath when the waiter brought them their food. All they did was stare at each other as the food was placed in front of them.

"What about Ally?" Sarah said as soon as the waiter left. "I love Ally. I want to adopt her." Sarah smiled at him when he said this, then she looked at the ring in his hand. Then she looked up at him again. She saw pure love in his eyes and knew that he cared for her. "I love you, Tom and I would be happy to be your wife." Tom smiled at her lovingly, and then he took her hand and put the ring on her finger. It fit perfectly. Then he leaned in a kissed her on the lips.

When they where finished eating and went back to Sarah's place to tell her family the good news. They stepped out of the Mustang and started walking towards the house hand in hand, but half up the walkway when Donna came from the build with a worried look on her face.

"Sarah. Tom. Your captain called looking for you too. Something horrible happened." Donna said as she approached them. Tom looked at her wanting her to continue. "What wrong?" Sarah managed to blurt out. "Officer Harry Iokie was in a shooting. He is in the hospital.

Tom quickly turned around and went to the car. Sarah did the same. Then Tom drove as fast as he could to the hospital. "Maybe we should wait before we say anything about us…you know…being engaged." Sarah said looking at Tom. "Yeah, I think that would be best." Sarah slipped the ring off and put it in her pocket.

Then went to the third floor of the hospital where they met the others and waited for news on their fallen officer.

Once they got news and where able to go to his room they all did. Fuller wanted to solve this thing quickly. He was going to ask Booker, but Hanson volunteered. Sarah looked at Tom when he said he would do but didn't say again thing to object.

When they where finally alone Sarah went over to Tom and gave him a warm embrace "I don't you to go." Tom looked at her confused "Why not?" Sarah pulled away from him and pointed at Harry's bed "That's why. There is a gang war and don't want you to get suck in the middle with a gun to your head." Tom licked his dry lips "I have to do this. I want to find out how is selling these guns and who order the shooting on Harry." Sarah looked down at her feet "What about us? What if something happens to you? How will I live then?" Tom pulled her in close "I promise, nothing with happen. If something stirs up, I'll pull myself out." Sarah had no expression on her face for few good seconds. Then she sighed "Alright. But you better keep your promise. I plan on marrying you." She said with a weak smile and lean in to kiss him passionately on the lip.
