It was day three and there was still not change to Alex's condition. Not wanting to leave her alone when she wakes up, Reid and Caleb made turns to sit with her.

It was Reid's turn to sit with her, her hand wrapped in his while he was reading a magazine.

Suddenly he felt a twist in his hand, looking down at their joint hands he saw Alex's fingers moving. Dropping the magazine he jumped up and leaned over her.

"Alex? Babe?" he asked cautiously.

Alex slowly opened her eyes, not sure where she was and the first thing she saw was a pair of worried blue eyes.

"Oh babe." Reid leaned forward and gave her a kiss on her forehead before he left to call one of the nurses.


Here they were all sitting in the waiting room again waiting for the doctor to finish his examination on Alex. Nobody said a word, each busy with their own thoughts.

"Mr Danvers?" came it form the door and Caleb stood up and walked towards the doctor.

The doctor smiled at the young man in front of him. "Don't look so grim, your sister will make a full recovery. I'm not going to lie to you. It's going to be painful and slow but with all of your support she will be fine."

"How long will she have to stay here?" Caleb asked the doctor, he wanted her home so that he could heal her there. He could not do it at the hospital because there will be questions asked.

"I want to monitor her for a few more days, then she can go."

Caleb extended his hand towards the doctor and shake the hand of the man who saved his sisters life. "Thank you so much"

The doctor smiled "I was only doing my job. Why don't you all go home and get some rest. Miss Danvers is sleeping now and will only wake up tomorrow." With that he left the room.


A few days later Reid decided to skip school, it was anyway the last day before their week break and Tyler said that he would cover for him. He already told Caleb that he was going to the hospital. He and Caleb has grown closer to each other since the incident, not as close as he and Tyler was, but they both wanted the same thing, for Alex to be happy.

Reid opened the door softly and looked inside, Alex's eyes was closed and she looked peaceful sleeping. Quietly he stepped inside the room and walked towards the bed. For a long time he just stood there looking at his girlfriend's beautiful face. Leaning forward he place a soft kiss on her lips

Alex opened her eyes and looked into his blue ones.

Reid smiled for the first time in days, "Hello beautiful." he said brushing a strand of hair from her face.

"Hi." She whispered, closing her eyes and took a breath, before opening her eyes again.

Reid sat down next to her and took her hand in his. He looked around the room at all the flowers. There was one from Caleb, one from Sarah, one from Pogue and Kate, one from Tyler and even one from the school.

He did not buy her any flowers, told her that they just die in the end. In place he bought her a white gold necklace with a diamond incrusted pendent in the shape of a key, telling her that it was the key to his heart and that she now owns it.

"This room is starting to look like a flow shop." Reid joked.

Alex only smiled and gripped his hand, it hurt like hell to breath and even more so to talk.

"So I hear that you can go home today, want me to take you home, babe?"

Alex shook her head, "Caleb is taking me." She whispered taking shallow breaths.

"Oh okay." Was the only thing he said.

Alex gripped his hand again, taking a breath then asked. "Will you be at the house?"

"Of cause, sweetheart." Reid said hand gave her hand a kiss. He was trying very hard to be strong. He could not stand the fact the Alex was in so much pain. Each night he ranted on to Tyler telling him how helpless he felt.

Alex closed her eyes and whispered. "Love you."

"Love you to, my angel." Alex heard Reid said before she drifted to sleep.


Alex was on her way home, sitting in the car next to Caleb. Sitting alone was painful but that was to be expected with four broken ribs and a ruptured spleen.

She stared out the window, it was quite between the two twins, neither had talked about what had happened the night of the accident.

Alex could not take the silence any more and tears started to stream down her face. Caleb saw it but misinterpret for her being in pain.

Before he could say anything Alex spoke. "I'm sorry." She sobbed.

Caleb was confused and slowly pulled the car of the road and turned towards her.

"Sorry about what, hun?"

Alex kept her head turned away while the tears kept running down her face.

"Alex look at me? Sorry about what?" Caleb asked again turning her face to him.

"Sorry that I did not tell you about Reid." Alex said taking shallow breaths trying to calm herself.

"Oh sis, its okay. Reid and I had a heart to heart. He knows where he stands with me. As long as you are happy, I'm happy." Caleb explained while he dried he tears with his handkerchief

"Are, are you sure." She hic-up, holding her hand over her ribs.

Caleb pushed her hair behind her ear and hold her head between his hands.

"I love you sis and I want you to be happy." He leaned forward and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"I love you too Ca. Now if you will just heal these damn ribs then I will truly be happy."

Caleb smiled to her and turned back. Starting the car he said. "I will as soon as we are home."

Alex winched as the care pulled on the road.

"Sorry" Caleb said putting a hand on her arm.

Alex just smiled and leaned back against the seat. She must have dozed of because when she opened her eyes they where in front of their house.

Before Caleb could open the door for Alex, Reid was already there opening the door for her. He wanted to say something but then he saw with what tenderness Reid was helping Alex out of the car and then gently lifting her in his arms before he carried her in the house.

Caleb felt a pair of arms around his waist and looked down at the blond girl next to him and pulled her closer.

"I never though I would see that side of him. It's only love that can make a jack-ass like Reid act like that."

Caleb just smiled and gave her a kiss on the head before going into the house.
