ED POV

It was a difficult time, Lindsey had been released from hospital, her physical injuries were recovered and no longer pained her, except for slight pain in her arm and leg. However mentally she was still recovering from the horrors of what she had endured. It was difficult but I was determined to help her through it, just as she had help me after the death of my friend Muhammod. As I thought about this I had just finished brushing my teeth, Lindsey and Sharon were already in bed, I was now more security conscious or more paranoid, depending how you looked at it. I always made sure the doors were locked and had even bought and had a new security system installed. Just then I heard Lindsey screaming.

"No, please no!"

I ran through to the bedroom and quickly made my way to her side.

"Lindsey!"

"NO!"

I felt her jerk awake, I also heard Sharon crying out and found myself torn, I had to go and help my daughter but Lindsey also needed me.

"Honey?"

Lindsey was still breathing heavily yet spoke evenly.

"I'll be fine...Go, Sharon needs you".

"Okay".

I left the room and hurried through to Sharon's room, the moment I entered I heard her asking.

"What happened to Mommy?"

I walked over and held her, stroking her hair and then spoke, comforting her.

"It's okay sweetie, Mommy just had a bad dream, that's all".

"I wanna see her".

I nodded and lifted her up and carried her to mine and Lindsey's bedroom. That night we stayed together, all three of us, a family pulling together to overcome the pain that one evil woman had caused.

We had endured through a week and I was worried, Lindsey wasn't getting any better, I was afraid and decided that she needed help, I talked to her about talking to a counsellor about her nightmares. She had just finished feeding Sharon and Sharon was watching TV, one of her favourite cartoons. I had spoken to her about the counsellor and Lindsey turned to me.

"You want me to go to counselling".

"It'll help, you need to get professional help so you can overcome these nightmares".

I could tell she was thinking and then.

"Okay, I guess you're right, I'll talk to a counsellor".

"Thanks, it'll help trust me".

"You know I do".

We kissed and then headed through to the living room with Sharon, due to the incident that had forced her to go without her mother for three days Sharon had developed a mild case of separation anxiety. She always felt anxious whenever she lost sight of Lindsey and in some cases got really scared, luckily she bravely tried to cope with it. Lindsey finally accepted and we were regularly visited by the counsellor until soon Lindsey was able to overcome her nightmares. It took a long time but eventually she was able to manage it.

LINDSEY POV

It was several months later, I had managed to overcome my nightmares and things were finally getting better. Right now we were at the hospital with Mom and the others, Sara was giving birth to her and Grissom's daughter. Sharon was excited at the prospect of having a new cousin. We had been waiting for hours and I could tell Sharon was tired, she was however fighting to stay awake, she desperately wanted to see her new cousin. About half an hour later we were called in, Sara had finally given birth to a baby girl they had decided to call Holly. She was beautiful, I could see Sharon, her tiredness forgotten as she smiled at her cousin. The nightmare was finally over, I was safe, my family was safe, everything was all right now.
