Here is another chapter, following Amy's little break down from last time. Hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own TMNT or any of its characters. Chris Nova belongs to Solaris Prime. Amy, Gage and Dr. Fogg are mine.

Gage's knee bounced nervously as he sat in the waiting room of Dr. Fogg's office. Typically, he would have stayed home, or even run a few errands while Amelia was visiting with the psychologist. But after the incident the other night, he figured it might be a good idea to be with her when she left the session. If nothing else, he could offer the emotional support she needed. Amy had been so distraught that night, when she claimed she'd seen her dead brother on the roof of their apartment building. Gage had never seen her like that before, hysterical and crying.

He sighed heavily as he glanced over at the door Amy had disappeared behind nearly an hour before. Gage knew Dr. Fogg would be helpful, in more ways than one. Not only did the psychologist feel the need to abide by his patient's wishes to refrain from the use of medication, but he would be completely discreet with anything Amelia might tell him. Jonas Fogg had once worked for the 'new' Foot Clan, before it was discovered and disbanded, and knew the way of the ninja. He would remain silent with any information given to him, while still performing his duties as a doctor, and he knew what would doubtlessly happen to him if any word leaked out. To make the situation smoother, Dr. Fogg already knew about Amy's family history, and it was simply a matter of Amy telling him the story herself once she gained complete confidence in him.

Gage could only hope this would actually help her.

"I don't like any of this," Leonardo murmured as he leaned against the couch in the lair. "She's hurting and we can't do anything to help."

"I just wish we could be with her," Donatello added with a frown. The turtles, Splinter and Mona Lisa were all concerned for Amy's mental health, especially after having heard from Gage what had happened the other night. Apparently, she had seen a specter of Chris again, but more vivid and terrifying to her. She'd returned to the apartment in a fit of hysterics, according to Gage.

"How much more does she have to suffer?" Mona demanded, asking the question that was on all of their minds.

"Until she can accept what has happened and learn to move forward," Master Splinter answered with his usual sage-like wisdom, though they could all tell he was saddened by the state of his daughter.

Amelia stepped out from behind the door of Dr. Fogg's office and quietly shut the door behind her. Gage stood upon seeing her, a warm smile on his face. He reached for Amy and took her hand in his as they began walking from the waiting area. His fiancée seemed tense and mentally exhausted, and Gage was apprehensive about asking her how she was.

"I feel better today," Amy murmured, answering the question she knew was on Gage's mind.

"Good. I'm happy to hear that," Gage answered.

"I… I told him how Chris died. I told him everything."

Now Gage's eyes widened as his brows tweaked upwards in surprise. Not only was this the first time Amy had told him what she had spoken with Dr. Fogg about—as he'd made sure to never pressure her about it—but it sounded like she'd made some real headway. She'd only briefly told Gage about her brother's death, and that was only because he'd known about the Foot Clan and the Shredder. To tell someone she'd believed didn't know about the ninja life was a big step for Amy.

"Is that why you feel better?" Gage asked cautiously. After a moment of thought, Amy nodded definitively.

"Yeah. I think so. I mean, it just feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders."
