Breathing Lessons

Chapter 1 – Aftermath

It had been three months since the horror that Alex Eames had to go through with Zane Callahan. Alex and Bobby had a great relationship; it even made it stronger when they were working together on cases.

They solved so many cases in months that it was the most cases they solved in a matter of months. Alex moved in Bobby's apartment straight after the incident supposable was somewhere in Dobbs Ferry.

Deakins still doesn't know about them sleeping together, which is good but they still had the trial for the Callahan's. Alex and Bobby were acting completely different from work, as they though they weren't giving much away.

Although they did notice Carver glancing at them from time to time in odd times of the day. When Alex went out for coffee for both of them she noticed Carver watching her when she gave Bobby his coffee.

Bobby smiled at her. He was still angry at Zane for raping Alex when she was powerless. He knew she was strong, stronger than him most of the time. He always admired her, for beaten up the guys that hit on her. He was at least, head and shoulders taller than her, but she had all the power over somewhere as tall him.

Zane and Lilly Callahan were in jail but only for a couple more weeks or more until the trial started. Bobby had seen many trials, you either won or lost.

Mostly the juries were good at leading the justice system, but the judges were assholes sometimes.

Judge Kelly was there judge for them. In the Arraignment Court Alex and Bobby were waiting for the judge. Alex seemed to be petrified of everything; she would stick to him like glue.

When Zane was taken in, she glared at him. He only smiled at her. When Carver asked him for why he did what he did to his detectives.

"Ask Alexandra, she knows all about it," he said slyly. Bobby held her down, she looked so angry at him for holding her down. He saw a tinkle of excitement in his eyes. Tears started to form in Alex eyes.

"Bastard," she whispered. Bobby knew she was cursing at Zane not him. After the hearing Bobby took her to Chinese and went back to his place.

"I wanna testify," she told him, breaking the silence in the car.

"No, your not," Bobby answered, as Alex pulled the car at the front of their apartment.

"Bobby, I have to," she protested, firmly.

"Don't worry. Carver will not make it go to trial," he assured her, getting out of the car. Alex followed him in curiosity.

"Have you talked to him behind my back?" she queried, angrily, as he pressed the button to the code to get in the building.

"No, course not, Alex, I wouldn't do that," he turned to her, blocking her way through the door. He stroked her cheek, softly. She took his hand and kissed it.

"Sorry, I know you wouldn't," she murmured to him. "I won't testify then," she told him.

"Good," he answered and they hugged in the doorway. They went upstairs and watched a classic movie. Alex leaned on Bobby, she snuggled up him. He knew how lucky having Alex by his side all these years.

The Nicole Wallace cases, she helped him through them all. She was his rock, his connection to normal mode.

During the toughest cases, he didn't think no one would stick to him that long, but she did. Her laugh made him smile and pulled her closer. He wasn't really into classic movies as much as Alex was, but he enjoyed the sensation of her warm skin, through her cotton shirt. The smell of her hair, made him excited of having her. He loved her, she loved him. That was the end, but the news struck them both dead in their tracks.

"Tonight's special updates are the Callahan cases. Zane Callahan has been admitted to trial next month, as ADA. Carver, former New York District Attorney has claimed that his detectives didn't need anymore indecent stages of the horror they had to go through three months ago. Judge Kelly has refused to not have a trial and wants to hear the detective's side of the story.

Detective Alexandra Eames, claims that he raped her by being held captive and wants nothing to do with the trial, but her partner Detective Robert Goren, pushed for no trail, but now both have to testify with Lilly Callahan, Zane's mother.

Lilly has been released following of only being the one who told her crazed son not to get revenge on the detective, who was in Vice, when he was put into jail.

Lilly Callahan has claimed to try to rescue the detectives and has been informed by the court she had to visit them for upcoming trial.

Thank you, for watching the special update"

Bobby could feel Alex anger rising in horror has the classic movie came back on.

"That's shit," she cried angrily and got up, almost scaring Bobby. "But I don't want to testify," she screamed.

"Lilly has been let out? That's perfect," he muttered angrily. Alex sat back down with Bobby again. Tears streamed down her face. He wiped them away for her, she turned to Bobby.

"How are we gonna do this?" she asked him. "I don't want us to go through it again," she whispered to him. He put a lock of hair behind her ear, and he lingered it for a while. Her eyes were full of confusion, sadness and anger. He pulled her into a hug.

"We can survive, if we are together," he told her. She seemed to calm down a bit and she pulled away. She smiled at him and kissed his cheek. Everything to going to be all right, she though, hoping Bobby would be right.

A/N: Don't worry more to come where that came from! Please review I would like to know if its crap or not or if you have any ideas you would like me to write in it! I know it's short but it gets longer eventually!

Already up to writing chapter five already! Hoping to get in ten chapters!

Also the title is scabbed from the Kathryn Erbe bio from IMDB website, I only realized this was an old movie of hers when I looked up for the eps last week! But any it seems to fit the story so far! I can't believe it's a comedy movie, I thought it sounded like a thriller movie. But anyway hope you enjoyed so far!
