Bea Smith sat up and watched as mister Jackson left the room. She was still in pain and still weak, but it is incredible how quickly can one feel better if there is a living young blonde beauty waiting for them. There was still a long way to go, but at least the amount of tubes sticking into and out of her body lessened. She still slept through the day, but when she was up, she felt more lucid and stronger. Especially every other day when it was mister Jackson guarding her. She smiled as the phone rang in her hand, three o´clock.

-Hey, beautiful! – Bea smiled into the phone. – How are you today?

-Great, especially now when I get to hear your voice. It seems stronger. How are you feeling? – Allie asked.

- Not so bad, must be careful with shifting and moving, it can be painful, but otherwise the pain got better.

-Have you eaten?

- Yes, ate all my veggies.

- You are lying!

Bea laughed and then hissed with pain.

-I´m not lying.

Allie smiled, god bless mister Jackson. These phone calls kept her sane. Never mention the first one, that one has been life-saving. They barely talked just cried and mumbled incoherent things, but it meant the world for Allie. She heard that sexy husky voice, it was weak and sometimes hitched, but she knew her Bea was alright, nothing else mattered.

-How is it to be back in the unit? – she heard Bea asking.

- Girls are fussing, it looks like lazaret there with Maxine and me.

Bea´s voice got softer and quiet.

-They are letting me go tomorrow.

-Are you coming home?

Home? Yes, she kinda felt like that, as strange as it is. Wentworth is home. With Allie it is, Allie is her home.

- Yes, I´m coming home.

-Can´t wait to see you.

-I feel sick just when I think about it.

-Hey, that is not a nice thing to say. – Allie laughed. – Girls are saying hi by the way. I had to bribe all of them to let me talk to you alone.

- Glad you did, last time it was crazy, I barely could ask you how you feel and then they hogged the phone.

- Yes, it was very frustrating, but they needed to hear your voice too.

Bea smiled.

-Not as much as I need hearing yours.

-Awww, you are a sweet talker.

-Allie?

-Yes.

-Be careful.

-I am, don´t worry.

- Mister Jackson is coming back. – Bea said when she saw his tall figure walking outside her window. – I have to finish.

- Alright, see you tomorrow!

Bea smiled, „see you tomorrow" sounds really good.

Kaz was on her way to meet Tina in the kitchen. She rounded the corner, but then she slowed down her steps as she saw Jake Stewart slowly coming out from there. He looked around and altogether acted suspiciously. „What the hell!" They must have some business together, this doesn´t look like some casual walk around the kitchen. Stewart must be on something. Kaz walked into the pantry and saw Tina placing some delivery on the shelves. Asking her about Stewart crossed her mind, but then she decided it will be better to keep it to herself for now. She stepped right into, Tina´s face instead.

- What the hell do you think you are doing?

- We have a deal. – Tina smirked.

- That deal did not include you beating up girls.

- I´m doing just what is necessary.

- I´m the top dog! Keep your crew in check, they will do as I say and you too!

Tina snorted.

- Why do you think women wanted you for the top dog? They maybe listen to you, but they won´t obey you. You are not so strong as Smith or Doyle used to be. You are too blinded, you want to treat them right because of your principles, but you forget one thing. They are here for a reason! No matter what they did if they have murdered someone or stole bread to feed their kids. These women are criminals. You have to treat them like that.

- Bullshit!

- We will see, but I think we both now I´m right. Give it up before you get hurt.

- Are you threatening me?

Tina just made a face at her and continued her work.

Bea opened her eyes as soon as she heard the door open. She was waiting for this moment for hours now. Afer they brought her back, she had to go through all kinds of procedures until she finally could be settled in a medical holding cell. Then it was lunch time and now finally she had visitors.

The first person she saw was Liz, then Maxine followed by Sonia and Doreen with Boomer.

-Where is Allie? – she croaked trying to sit up.

- Hey there, calm down! She is alright! – Liz said pushing her back down on the bed. – We just wanted to see you too, so we made a deal. We are first and then she will come after us so you two can have some privacy.

- Alone? She can´t come alone! Never leave her alone!

-She won´t be alone, no worries! I will escort her. – Liz squeezed her hand. – She is never alone Bea, don´t worry.

Bea lied back down on the bed and relaxed. It was really nice to see the girls. They told her all the juicy gossip and about how is Allie doing. About Maxine´s treatment and the new girls. She loved to have them around, it was really nice to see those familiar faces, but she couldn´t help it. Her mind was drifting towards Allie. She wanted to see her, to touch her, to make sure she was alive and alright. She craved those blue eyes.

Thank god the girls knew she needed her Alliecat and left as soon as everyone of them made sure she is indeed alive and the same as before. Liz smiled at her and told her that she will be back soon with Allie. So, Bea Smith now just lied there and looked up at the ceiling. Trying to keep calm and collected, it was successful just until the moment when she heard the iron gate open. She focused her attention on the window. It was like lightening. The sight of Allie Novak´s slim figure hit her right into her anyway damaged gut. Allie smiled and Bea felt warmth spread through her body. It was not a dream. She is alive and well.

As the door closed, Allie turned around smiling like thousand suns.

- Where is Liz?

-Still not ruling by the charm, do you, Bea. – Allie stepped next to the bed taking Bea´s hand into hers. Her eyes closed at the touch and she let out a deep almost moaning like breath.

- I told them not to let you...- she was interrupted by a pair of lips pressing on hers. She squeezed the soft hand which was holding hers and smiled into the kiss fully enjoying it. Allie was kissing her for minutes, gently and softly. She felt wetness on her cheeks some falling from Allie´s eyes and her own mixing together. Their lips caressing each other with love. Allie pulled back.

- Liz escorted me to the gate and she will be back for me. Hey! Bea no, you will hurt yourself! – Allie yelped and tried to resist the pull.

- I will be ok, just come here, please... – Bea pleaded. Allie obeyed and carefully climbed on the bed curling up next to the older woman.

- Tell me if I hurt you. – Allie slowly placed her arm on Bea´s chest and Bea wrapped both her arms around her, pulling her close.

- I´m alright. – she said as she felt a new wave of tears swelling in her eyes. Allie´s grip tightened and then she felt her shaking. Bea kissed her head and whispered.

- Shhh, don´t cry, everything is alright. We are alright.

They were both quiet for a little while. Just holding each other and enjoying being in each other arms.
