Alex's P.O.V

I woke to see bright lights of the hospital, how did I get here the last thing I remember was hearing a gun shoot. Almost the whole team was sitting on the couch still unaware that I was awake, Hotch Morgan Emily, JJ and Reid all sat doing different things Morgan was listening to music, Reid had his nose in a book, Emily and JJ were talking in a whisper and Hotch was reading over a case file. Only one thing came to mind was where's David? Morgan was the first to realize I was awake "hey girl, how do you feel," everybody else looked up and walked over to the side of the hospital bed everybody except Reid, "hey kid you wanna join us," Morgan said to Reid closing his book

They all beamed at me glad that I was on the way to a full recovery. But I must have had a worried look on my face "David is in the cafeteria with Josie and Amy, would you like me to get them," JJ said, Amy is the woman who looks after Josie and Hotch's son whilst the team are working on a case she is pretty much my only friend I don't know threw my job I just find people my age to slutty or to immature. Call me old fashion but I do believe that your pants should not be shorter than your underwear. Amy David and Josie came into the room. The room is a little squishy,  

"any one for a cup of coffee?"Hotch said realizing that David would want to talk to me alone everybody apart from David and Josie left.  

"Can I hug you," Josie asked in a little voice she was scared of hurting me but nothing could hurt me more then not being able to hug my little sister 

"of course," we hugged and I pulled her onto the side of my bed. She lied down, careful not to lie on me. She rested her head on my chest instead of on my arm where I had been stabbed,

Josie looks a lot like our mother Anastasia. I didn't remember much about her but the memories I do have are only fond memories. David talks a lot about her as well. They grew up together. Knew everything about each other that's why he was our godfather he knew our mother the longest.

"Alexandra, I'm so sorry I should have never let you go undercover, when I became your godfather I promised myself that you or Josie would never get hurt, but look at you, you can barely move," David was blaming himself for all the injuries I have  

"Dave don't blame yourself, this isn't your fault it Wailand's', you didn't hurt me in fact you saved me, I wouldn't be sitting here right now if it weren't for you," he looked hurt but he knew I was right, "so what are my injuries? anyway, apart from the obvious," I asked trying to change the subject  

"well your stomach has shrunk to the size of a walnut, you have 3 broken ribs, a gash next to your right eye, a broken leg and you needed 22 stitches in your arm, oh and you need an ultra sound in two weeks," an ultra sound what's that for aren't ultra sounds used to check that a baby in the womb is growing properly,  

"an ultrasound?" I asked with just a hint of panic in my voice  

"oh don't worry Alex it is just to check on your stomach you are on a liquid diet from here on out," David said he knew what I was worrying about what if I was pregnant and Connor Wailand would be the father.

The next day I was allowed to go back to DC. This meant in a couple of days, I would be back at work. But it also meant I could see Garcia, at the moment she is the only one I want to talk too at the moment. Actually I need to talk to Penelope Garcia. The team all except Dave flew back to Quantico later that night I had to stay in the hospital but I had convinced David to go back to the hotel. He left quite unwillingly but Josie was falling asleep where she was standing so he finally gave in. Amy had flown back with the rest of the team she may not be a part of this team but she surely has been accepted by it.

The next morning before David had come to pick me up the doctor came in just to make sure I hadn't deteriorated over night. "Dr Wilson?" I asked still half guessing which doctor was which, he turned to face me as his response "I know you know what Connor Wailand did to me that won't leave a physical but definitely a mental scar," I was making no sense so I shut up and got to the point "please don't tell my godfather he raped me," the doctor looked confused. I knew Hotch would already know about the raping and Garcia probably would to but David and Morgan would over react. Emily and JJ would make me feel like a little kid and I just don't know how to tell something like this to Reid. Even with all the stuff we see with our job he is still so innocent minded.  

"He needs to now Alexandra, but I will let you tell him once you are at home in DC," with that he left and David and Josie entered the small room  

"ready to go home?" David asked greeting me with a smile

"more ready than ever," I say swinging my legs over the edge of the bed. Dr Wilson came back with some crutches to help me walk. David handed me some clothes and I went to get to change, within minutes I had stuck my head out the door and looking kind of sheepish 

I asked "Josie, can you come here? I need your help,"

She giggled but joined me in the small bathroom. after some extreme difficulty I managed to get dressed, Josie wasn't much help she just kept laughing at my feeble attempts to pull my shorts over my cast I guess I am going to be wearing dresses and skirts for the next 8 weeks.

I slept most of the way back to DC but kept waking up with fright from the horrific nightmares that now control my mind we reached our house in Quantico well it isn't much of a house it is more of a mansion but it is home and it is the only home I have happy memories in. I open the front door and walk in inside. There standing in front of me were 10 of the people I am closest to Emily, JJ ,her boyfriend Will and son Hennery Garcia and her boyfriend Kevin, Morgan, Reid, Hotch and his son jack and Amy the all greet me happily, I know my body scares those who weren't at the hospital, I have bruises up and down my arms and legs. I excuse myself and attempt to walk up the stairs but Morgan scoops me of my feet and carries me to my room. He could see that I was struggling but he didn't say a word his big masculine body felt warm and comforting. I knew he would protect me and I was thankful for that. He sat me down on the bed and let me change, I ended up asking him to get Emily I don't know how I am going to last like this not being able to get changed without help will probably end my hopes of getting better at all, everybody gathered in the living room. We joked we talked we laughed but no matter how hard I tried I could not get his face out of my mind, and I knew that it would stay there for many months to come. Connor Wailand will haunt me long after his stay on death row has ended.

Everybody left so that I could get some much needed sleep. But that didn't last long.

David's P.O.V

I woke to her screams, it was midnight. Her cries weren't of pain but of fear. A sound I would of thought Alex could never make. She is so strong hearted. She watched her mother stabbed and raped yet still refused to end her life she has stared death in the face on more than one occasion but yet she still fought on but this guy tortured her into this fragile state. State that no 15 year old girl should ever be in. she sits cradled in her blankets shaking with fear she can't quite grasp the fact that it was merely a dream. But was it a dream? No it was probably a horrible memory. A memory that nobody should have. 

Josie joins me in the corridor slowly we enter Alex's room neither of us want to scare her. Yet she still jumps several feet when she see's us. "Lexie, what did he do to you," Josie cries joining Alex on the bed, Alex winced at the movement. She was clearly in pain I walked downstairs and grabbed a couple of aspirin they should ease her pain for an hour or two maybe she could get at least a couple more hours sleep. They will be well needed. She is expected at work tomorrow, Erin Strauss the boss of the BAU does not give stress leave especially not to the interns, like Alex.
