Abigail was watching TV, she was going to stay up for when Mr Wolff called. She was distracted from the show she was watching when she heard Alex screaming,

She immediately stood up and ran into Alex's room. He was thrashing around in his sleep screaming. She knew he was having a nightmare and went over and shook him awake.

Alex just lay there crying, he was so scared.

"Calm down Alex, it's ok I'm here," Abigail said softly hugging Alex tightly.

"I don't want to go to sleep again," Alex cried shaking with fear.

"Just calm down, and you can come and watch TV with me." Abigail said doing what she could to calm Alex.

When Alex was barely sobbing she picked him up with one of his blankets and carried him to the living room and sat with him on the sofa.

"Why did she have to try and kill me?" Alex sobbed quietly.

"I don't know Alex, but she's gone now, she's dead," Abigail said softly running her hand through Alex's hair.

Alex cried something Abigail couldn't understand, she knew Alex had been dreaming about when Juanita's aunt had broken his arm, just by the way he was holding it.

"Alex, if you try to get some sleep, I will wake you when your dad rings," Abigail said softly.

"Can I try and sleep out here with you?" Alex asked quietly.

Abigail could see Alex was too scared to be by himself again.

"Ok Alex, just try and get some sleep," Abigail said muting the TV and humming a slow song to Alex. She smiled when she knew he was asleep.

After an hour she gently removed herself from under Alex. Alex whimpered softly in his sleep. She went and made herself a coffee to keep her awake. She could see Alex was twitching in his sleep, she knew he was having a bad dream.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Alex screamed terrified.

Abigail sighed and brought her coffee back over to the sofa.

Alex was drenched in sweat, and as Abigail tried to wake him, she saw him wetting himself.

"Alex, wake up," Abigail said softly.

Alex woke with a start, he sobbed quietly wishing he could have normal dreams like everyone else.

"Did dad ring?" Alex asked hopefully.

Abigail shook her head.

"Alex, you wet yourself," Abigail said tenderly.

Alex noticed that the blanket was soaked in urine and began crying.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean too," Alex cried hysterically.

"I know Alex, it was an accident," Abigail said gently, she knew Alex had no control of it.

"I'm sorry, I won't do it again," Alex cried scared.

"Alex it's ok, it wasn't your fault," Abigail said trying to get Alex to calm down, she wasn't sure if Alex was all there.

"Please don't rub my nose in it," Alex screamed wetting himself a little more.

Abigail sat down next to Alex and pulled him up to hug, she didn't care about the pee.

"Did Juanita's aunt do that to you?" She asked softly.

Alex nodded sobbing.

"It was horrible," Alex cried.

"I can understand that Alex, I wouldn't do that to you though Alex." Abigail said softly.

"I thought she was here," Alex sobbed. Alex thought he saw her a lot, he even booby trapped the closet in case she tried to hide in there, unfortunately he didn't tell anyone so Mr Wolff had to rescue Nat who got crushed by everything Alex had set up.

"It's ok Alex, she's dead now, so she can't hurt you anymore," Abigail said quietly.

"I hope so," Alex mumbled quietly.

Abigail just continued to hug Alex, she new she would need to get him cleaned up but she could see how venerable Alex was feeling

They hugged for half an hour before the phone rung. Abigail softly reached over and grabbed it.

"Hey Sonny," She said answering it.

"How was your flight,"

"Yeah, listen before you go to sleep, I think Alex needs to hear your voice," Abigail said, before putting the phone up to his ear. She held it there for a few seconds before Alex clung on to it.

"Hey buddy," Mr Wolff said quietly.

"Hey dad," Alex mumbled quietly.

Mr Wolff could hear that Alex was upset.

"What's up Alex?" Mr Wolff asked softly.

"I had a bad dream, I want a hug…" Alex mumbled.

Abigail hugged Alex tighter when he said this.

Mr Wolff hid a sigh, he could tell Alex wanted them back home.

"Abigail will have to give you all our hugs while we're gone," Mr Wolff said gently. He wasn't sure how Alex would cope over the next couple of weeks.

"I don't want to have nightmares anymore," Alex sobbed,

"Alex, you have the medication to stop them, you just need to take them." Mr Wolff said. He knew Alex didn't like to take them, for the rare night when he had a good dream.

"mmmmm" Alex mumbled dejectedly.

"Alex just remember that Abigail loves you, and she would do anything to help you, ok?"

"Ok dad," Alex mumbled quietly.

"Good boy, you should try and get some sleep so your rested for school tomorrow."

"Ok dad, I love you," Alex mumbled.

"Love you too, night Alex,"

"Night dad," Alex said before hanging up.

"Feel better?" Abigail asked him quietly.

"A little"

"Ok bud, you need to get cleaned up, and then you come and sleep out here with me," Abigail said, she could see Alex didn't want to sleep in his own bed.

The next morning Alex was woken up as Abigail extracted herself from under him. She went to the kitchen and got Alex's medication as he slowly woke up.

"Morning Alex," Abigail said with a tired smile, she had stayed up for the night just in case Alex needed anymore extra attention.

"Morning mom," Alex yawned.

Alex groaned in pain as he stretched and Abigail brought over his medication and gave them too him.

"You ready for Jeremy's party tonight?" She asked quietly.

"It's a sleepover… how 'm I supposed to sleepover?" Alex asked.

"You'll come home for the night and I'll drop you off tomorrow morning," Abigail said.

"But what if…."

"Alex, he invited you to his party, he doesn't care that your in a wheelchair,"

"Thanks mom," Alex said and reached up to give her a hug.
