Hi guys we're nearing the halfway point of this story so please review and let me know your thoughts about this fiction and also tomorrow nights episode. It's gonna break me! Hope your enjoying it so far.

It was nearing the end of Alicia's shift and she was working in cubicles when Eddie walked in with a patient screaming in agony on the gurney, trying to block everything but the patient out. She could feel his eyes watching her as if they were piercing the back of her skull. It didn't help that every so often Mrs Beauchamp or Elle would be watching her and even more eyes would be upon her. He was going to come and try to talk to her again she knew it. But did he know, that she had reported him to the police. Surely not he'd be a lot angrier. But what if he did and was just waiting for the right moment to strike. She could feel her heart rate rising and she pushed all of the thoughts to the back of her mind. She had to concentrate. She finished the ob's on her patient and left the cubicle going back to the nurses' station in the centre of the ward and typing them up on the computer whilst ordering a CT scan. Suddenly there was a load noise of the doors swinging open and the sound of hand cuffs being clipped around Eddie's wrist. It was the police and they were finally able to take Eddie for questioning. He was yelling that he'd done nothing wrong and that it was a mistake. His eyes fell on Alicia and her blood ran cold. She suddenly felt frozen, powerless, like she'd felt that night. He was staring right into her eyes across the room the same way he did that night before he turned on her. The room began to spin and her head started pounding, heart in her mouth. She was having a panic attack again right in the middle of everyone on the ward. There was nowhere to run. The blackness surrounded her and her limbs started to shake and she was suddenly aware of Elle and Mrs Beauchamp running towards her through bleary eyes and a falling sensation before everything went black.

*5 minutes later*

Alicia began to stir. She was lying on a hospital bed in a side room of the ED. As she slowly raised her head aware of the throbbing that she felt in the side of it, she took in everything in the room. In the corner there was a nervous Elle sat in the corner, face in her hands. Next to the bed was Bea staring into space whilst holding one of Alicia's hands and outside the room was an anxious looking Mrs Beauchamp pacing the nurses' station obviously waiting for news. Alicia tried to talk but found she had no words so instead she squeezed Bea's hand and then slowly began to sit up.

"Thank god you're awake! You gave us all a fright." Bea said turning to face Alicia worry plastered over her face. The door slammed shut and Alicia jumped. It was only Elle leaving to fetch Mrs Beauchamp. Alicia couldn't remember what had happened, only that Eddie had been arrested and his terrifying gaze fixed on her as he was escorted out of the ED. Mrs Beauchamp entered the room with Elle following close behind and came up to the side of Alicia's bed.

"What happened?" Alicia questioned gazing up at Mrs Beauchamp. How was she always so composed and unfazed by everything?

"You collapsed. We think you had a panic attack of sorts and then just blacked out. You caught your head as you fell before Dr Gardner and I caught you before you could do yourself any more damage."

"That explains the throbbing then." Alicia muttered to herself. Alicia was suddenly aware of them all staring at her very intensely. "What is it? What's wrong?"

"Two things Alicia." Mrs Beauchamp said maintaining the stern but caring stare.

"Eddie has been released on bail." Elle said quietly almost in tears herself.

Alicia began to panic. He was going to come for her. He was going to be so angry. The monitors began to start beeping wildly and Mrs Beauchamp was swiftly by Alicia side crouched down holding her face whispering comfort to her and telling her to breathe. Alicia head was spinning, she couldn't deal with it everything was about to come crashing down, he would find her here for sure she needed to get out.

"I need to leave…he'll find me here!"

"Alicia sweetie calm down okay, you can go home. I will take you home." Mrs Beauchamp said looking desperately for Elle and Bea to help her calm Alicia down. Bea sat on the other side of Alicia taking her hand.

"Alicia, look at me. I will not let him hurt you!"

With that Alicia's heart rate began to slow back down again and her breathing slowly began to normalise, her eyes still jumping from Bea to Elle to Mrs Beauchamp and back again. Calming down her panicky reactions was easy; her thoughts however was not easy. It was like a mist of every memory of every detail of what he did and that he could have the power to do that again. Through the mist of thoughts Alicia realised that Mrs Beauchamp had said two things. So that wasn't everything. Was she going to go to prison instead? Did the police not believe her story? Did they not believe her?

"You said two things, what…what was the second?" Alicia looked directly into Mrs Beauchamp's normally stony eyes and noticed a softness and maybe even a slight warmth there. It must be bad then.

"Alicia," Mrs Beauchamp paused, "is it possible that you might be pregnant."

Alicia sat there silent her whole world crashing down around her. She hadn't even thought about that. How could she not have realised that this could happen? Oh god what if she was! She wasn't ready, and his child. She could feel herself beginning to panic again as she began to cry. Mrs Beauchamp pulled her into an embrace followed by Bea and Elle awkwardly leaning across the bed to join in. As her crying subsided the three of them let go and Alicia stumbled for words.

"M…M…Mrs Beauchamp…could you… run some tests for me please?" Alicia stammered grabbing hold of Bea's hand for comfort.

"Yes, and please, call me Connie." Mrs Beauchamp spread a warmth spreading across her face as she turned and left the room with Elle leaving Alicia and Bea together with Bea letting silent tears fall down her face too.
