"Mummy" her little squeal woke me from my sleepless slumber I turn so I can see her. I was worried she would be scared of all of my injuries but I also knew she's seen me in a worse condition. She sprints to my bed trying to pull herself up, I wish I could help but I was only just gaining my strength back to hold myself up. Adam rushes over picking her up. She launches on me reminding me of all the pain. "Easy Rory mummy was just hurt" Erin said after seeing me wince. I hold her so tight and close. Breathing in her beautiful scent of Gardenia and apple. I didn't care for how much pain I was in or caused by her practically laying on me. "I miss you so much" she said touching my jaw "you know I never gave up I was always coming back to you" I kiss her head "lay here baby so the doctors can still work on me" I gently help her move to lay beside me.

"Do you want me to take her" Erin asks there was minimal talking mainly just snuggling with my baby. Now visiting hours were over Aurora began to cry. She clutched my arms holding me tight lighting a burning fire in my body. "It's fine" i wince out. Erin left going to talk to the doctor. I hold Aurora tightly "I'm never leaving you" I said hugging her. I wasn't exactly prepared to let her go either. I didn't even know how long I had been away for her. It felt like forever for each other, probably for both of us. I desperately wanted to know how long it was but the fear was keeping me from asking. I didn't want to know if he had me locked up for months or weeks. I did however want to know how long my baby had to suffer for, how long I was away from her. It could have been just a few days and it would have felt like a lifetime for both of us either way. I listen to her softly breathing clutching me for dear life. "I love you my sweet Jumanah" I whisper to her. I used to call her it all time before. Jumanah is the Arabic baby girl name meaning silver pearl. She was my silver pearl still is. Now I more a less call her Rora. I did call her silvie but thought that might get confusing real quick. It reminded me of a past friend when I couldn't see her.

I look up hearing movement at the door. I weakly smile seeing Hank. I had been watching Aurora, she seemed so peaceful. "Don't think she's been that peaceful in a while" he mused "I'll remember that for next time I get kidnapped" he nods "I can to tell you he won't be bothering you anymore" "he dead" he seems stunned by my question "if his not there's a strong possibility this will happen again" I said he sighs walking over. I freeze watching him. "We took care of it" he whispered in a way that I could hear the double meaning "thank you" I said after a moment which he backed up. "She's my Jumanah" I stare at Aurora I didn't have to see him to know his very confused "it's Arabic it means silver pearl" I finally look up at him to see him weakly smiling. I didn't know if he was smiling fully or not he doesn't seem like the type of person who's face lights up. "I thought of her the whole time her laugh woke me up her voice telling me all the wonderful things she did and that she loved me lulled me to sleep" "I thought of my son while I was inside. My wife" I weakly smile at him "what happened I uh I'm sorry it just seemed like everyone knows...I didn't even know you were inside until like the day he took me" "I wasn't the best version of myself as my wife would tell me. I was trying to protect my son but went about it all the wrong way" "could you stop me if I start trying to protect her the wrong way" "I will but I don't think I will need to" I smile at him "I haven't spoken to my parents I didn't even think of them before I just wanted to protect her...uh are the ok do they know" "we told them you were rescued we told them to give you a moment to get accustom to everything which they got mad at" "I can imagine" "Erin let it slip you had a little girl who was very close with everyone around her that you needed her to feel safe to feel safe" I nod "I did" I rub her back "so I guess I can have my cops but to their full potential not almost passing out cause she kept the up" "she always use to want to wait up for me" I smile at her "it was mainly Erin and Jay cause that was her home...just like that you take out my only two detectives" I smile "I didn't tell anyone but I have one test to go" he looks confused "a teacher told me I could do a test for each year that covers the core subjects and than my overall test" he hums "I got one I uh I don't know how much time passed but I only had a week to go" he frowns and that's how I knew it had been more than two weeks "right I'll have to send her an email hope I can take it again" "they will let you I'll even let you show them the police reports" "my dad wasn't really the kind person he was more the hard working ordered type thank you for showing me what a kind caring man is like more importantly thank you for being like a father to me" I didn't know if he felt the same way as I did, even if he didn't I had to tell him. Before all of this I was always the type of person who shared so this was step one of feeling like me.
