"Will she be alright?"
"Oh most defiantly. He missed any major arteries and there was minimal blood loss."
"Thank you doctor."
The voices slowly died out and Alex opened her eyes, blinking against the harsh light that flooded in around her. "Er…Spencer?" She called out.
"Oh Alexandra! Darling you're awake!"
"Mother?" Alex moaned, opening her eyes to see her mother's highly blue and teary eyes looking down at her.
"Oh sweetheart why didn't you tell me?!" Her mother asked, sinking closer and hugging Alex. "Why didn't you call me and ask for help!"
"I…I didn't want you to worry…I was…what's going on?" She asked, looking around slightly, to see her room completely void of human life, aside from herself and her mother.
"What do you mean? You're in the hospital. Casey stabbed you and…"
Her eyes went wide. "Where is he? What happened? I don't remember… he was there and…"
"Shush darling…he's in jail. He's locked up and he's not getting out." Her mother smiled down at her, brushing the stay hair out of her face. "How do you feel?"
"Sore…" Alex whispered, stretching a little, but stopping as a shot of pain ran up her side. "What's the damage?"
"Nothing serious. Just a few stitches and you were okay. But the doctors put you out for a day all the same." A questionable look passed over Alex's face. "You were so tired and stressed out. Your blood pressure was through the roof! You needed your rest."
"Oh well…where are Connor and Adam?"
"Oh! Connor's out in the waiting room sweetheart." Her mother smiled at her, and Alex was surprised. "What? What's the matter?"
"He's here?" Slowly Alex sat up, ignoring the pain. "Like…right now?"
"Of course dear! He's in the waiting room, hasn't left at all. Hang on I'll go get him."
"No wait!" But because Alex could even muster up the strength to protest, her mother was up and out the door. "Dammit…" Alex sighed, suddenly feeling overwhelmed and scared out of her mind as she sank back down into the bed, getting ready.
She heard the rush of footsteps suddenly coming towards her room, and her mother shouting something that sounded like 'go easy on her'. "Oh god…" Alex moaned, snapping her eye shut, just as she saw his figure round the corner to her room.
"Lex? You awake?" Connor called from the doorway.
"Yeah…" She answered.
"Then why are your eyes closed?" He asked.
"Cause…I'm very afraid right now." She answered truthfully.
"Why?" He asked, sounding very puzzled.
Slowly, she opened one eye and looked at him standing there watching her. "Don't you…I mean…shouldn't you…" She paused and sighed, opening her eyes fully to look at him as she spoke. "Cause you hate me." Alex called, before shutting her eyes to stop herself from crying.
"What?" He called, half laughing. "Alex I don't hate you…why would you…"
Alex's eyes snapped open. "One, because I lied to you. Two, because I slept with Spencer. And three! Because I went with Casey, when I should have gone for help." She sighed then, trying to calm herself down. "So don't act like your not angry cause I know you are and…"
"God you just don't shut up do you?" Connor laughed, catching her off guard.
"What?"
"Alex…I don't give a damn about anything you've done or could possibly do. You're alive! That's all that matters!" Connor said, before sweeping towards her, smiling.
"You…you don't hate me?" She asked, looking up at Connor, surprised.
"Not now, and not ever." Connor smiled coming closer to her.
Alex tried to smile, but all she could do was sit there, looking up at him, tears pooling in her eyes. "Connor…that…that makes me…I…."
"You need a hug?" Connor suggested.
"Yes." She nodded, as the tears spilled over.
"Come here." Connor called, as he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her softly, pulling her close to him. "It's okay. Your gunna be okay Alex." Connor whispered. "You're safe now. Nothing's gunna happened."
"Kay…" Alex nodded, leaning in against him and crying softly.

"Is she feeling okay?" Aaron asked, looking to Alex's mother, Lilly, as she walked into the waiting room.
"Oh I should think so." She nodded. "She seems a little afraid however…she was very shocked that Connor was here." Lilly looked a little confused as she said this. But the look soon faded and she turned to look at a tie clad agent. "She called out your name."
Spencer looked up at her, a little taken back. "What?" He asked.
"When she first woke up, she called out your name." Lilly smiled a smile that was exactly like her daughters. "I think she was expecting to find you at her bed side, not her over protective mother."
"Yeah…well…"
"When Connor's done in there, I expect you to go see her young man." She said suddenly, and Spencer sat up, suddenly feeling on the spot. "My daughter doesn't wake up calling out any man's name."
"You mean she calls out men's names a lot in her sleep?" Emily asked.
"Well…this is the second name I've ever heard her call out after coming out of being sick."
"What was the first?" Derek called, leaning against the doorway and watching the woman.
"Richard."
"Who?" David asked.
She smiled softly then, looking down at her left hand. "Richard. Her father." Lilly looked up at the agents, smiling. "It was a year or so after her died. And she got very ill. Fever dreams, screaming in the night that people were after her. Terribly time. And then, when the fever finally broke, and she came around, she asked for him when she woke up." A small laugh escaped her. "Poor dear forgot her had died she had been so sick."
"I'm sorry…" JJ whispered, seeing the sadness in her eyes.
"Nothing to be sorry about dear. He was a good man and an amazing father." She smiled then. "Well I think I'll head over to Alex's house and get some of her cloths…seeing as Casey didn't seem to think she needed any."
A small laugh escaped the group as Lilly slowly left, leaving them sitting there alone.
"So?" Derek said after a moment, looking to Spencer.
"So what?"
"What are you gunna say to her?"
"Uh…how are you feeling?" No one looked impressed by this. "What?"
"She almost died Spence, protecting you in the process no less." JJ noted, stretching out a little. "You gotta come up with something better then 'how are you feeling'."
Spencer suddenly looked nervous. "Like…what?"
"I'm so happy your okay? Thank god you weren't hurt? Don't ever do that to me again?" Emily shrugged. "All valid point makers that could melt any woman's heart."
"I was thinking something a little less…" Spencer shrugged. "Up front?" He suggested, rising up and looking down the hall to see Connor slowly walking back, looking a little less stressed.
"Like what?" Derek asked, chuckling slightly, watching Spencer head towards the door.
He turned around, eyes on the floor. "I dunno…" He whispered, looking up at Derek. "Hi?" He called, shrugging, before walking out into the hallway.
"She okay?" Spencer called, catching Connor off guard.
"What? Oh yeah good. The doctor's just checking on her and she..." Connor paused and looked up at Spencer, ginning slightly. "She'll be happy to see you." He said softly, reaching up and clapping Spencer on the shoulder.
"Thanks." Spencer whispered, before continuing down the hall towards Alex's room, smiling suddenly.

"Any pain?"
"No." Alex lied, before flinching as his hands softly pressed to the area. Her doctor turned and gave her a look. "Okay…it hurts."
"Alright, we'll get you something for that." He smiled down at her. "Hear you've been through the ringer huh?"
"You have no idea." She laughed softly, settling back down as he leaned away.
"Alright well, everything seems to be in working order. So I'll have a nurse come in and take care of that pain and you'll be all set for the night."
"Thank you." Alex smiled, watching as he walked towards the door, slipping out just as another visitor entered. A smile appeared over Alex's face as he walked in. "Hey." She called softly.
"Hey." Spencer smiled, stopping at the side of her bed. "How are you?"
Alex shrugged. "About as good as a girl who got stabbed can be." She chuckled. Her chuckling stopped however when she saw the expression on Spencer's face. "Are you…okay?"
"Yeah…yeah." He nodded softly, eyes on the floor.
After a long and agonizing moment of silence, Alex finally spoke. "Spencer…?" She whispered softly, and his eyes flickered up to hers.
"Yeah?" HE whispered, inching towards her momentarily, but stopping.
"I just…wanted to tell you that…I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"Everything. What I said to you on the phone. And on the beach. For hurting you in anyway." She paused and looked away from him, tears shinning in her eyes. "For pulling you into this...mess."
"Don't…don't be sorry Alex." Spencer called, stepping towards her and stopping just at the edge of her bed. "There's nothing to be sorry for."
"Yes there is." She said rather calmly as a tear slipped down her cheek. "I risked your life by being with you." Turning to him then, she suddenly looked furious. But not with him, with herself. "Because I fell for you, because I wanted to be with you…because I was with you, you could have died."
"You sound more worried about me, the FBI agent who has the gun, then about yourself, the helpless woman who was held captive at the hands of someone who was obsessed with her."
"Well I had to think of what he would do to you if I didn't go with him."
"And I had to think about what he was doing to you because you went with him."
Alex turned around fast and looked at him shocked, before winching out. "Ouh…" She groaned, grinding her teeth together as a shooting pain inched up her side.
"Are you okay?" Spencer called, stepping forward and placing his hands softly on her arm.
"Yeah just…moved to fast." She whispered, leaning back against the pillows, flinching slightly.
"You want me to get a nurse? Or a doctor?"
"Spencer?" Alex whispered, turning slightly and looking up at him.
"Yeah?"
Alex smiled at him then, reaching up and pressing her hand to his chest. "Your a doctor." He chuckled slightly and leaned down closer to her. "And thank you for saving my life." She whispered.
Spencer smiled. "Anytime." He whispered, leaning down and pressing his lips to hers softly.
