*Ali's pov*
6 months later
I still had nightmares...honestly I was afraid to be alone...that part I got over but the nightmares I couldn't shake..but I'm trying to push through them..it's been a long 6 months but I was getting stronger...little Liam was now 2...I had now been married 3 years...and it's been a year since Adeline was born and Hannah's death...I sat at the desk in the store with Jada.."I feel guilty being open today..."
Jada sighed "Me too...it's a joyous yet awful day...especially for poor Adeline.."
I sighed deeply "I'm seeing a therapist."
She stopped and looked at me "Still having the nightmares?"
I nodded "Not as frequent but yeah.."
Jada frowned "You were in bad shape Ali...he could of very well have killed you.".
I nodded "My dad and grandfather think it's unnecessary..."
She nodded "Does it seem to be helping?"
I nodded "Seems to be I slept through the night last night."
Jada smiled "Good...Hunter and Vince can suck it....what doesn't Roman say?"
I sighed "He doesn't say anything about it...I means he's there but he's not it's like he doesn't know what to say to me..."
She looked up "Speak of the devil.."
I looked up seeing Roman walking in..I smiled slightly "Hi..."
Roman smiled faintly "Can we talk?"
I nodded "Sure.."
He nodded "I'll be outside.."
I raised an eyebrow as he walked out.."I'll be back.."
Jada nodded "Take your time.."
I nodded and walked out to see my husband leaning against my suv with his hands in his pockets "Something wrong?"
Roman stepped to me entwined his fingers in my hair as he pressed his lips to mine
My fingertips gripped his shirt as I melted under the feel of his lips on mine...I reluctantly pulled back our foreheads resting together "What was that for.."
He sighed "I met with a therapist that works for the force after bad cases...I realized I'm not being there for you the way I should be...it hasn't been easy to know I failed to protect what's mine...'
I shook my head "You said it yourself nothing anyone could of done would of stopped him he wanted me just that bad he would of found a way..."
Roman sighed deeply "I almost lost you Ali..."
I let my hands come to rest on his back "But you didn't..I'm still here baby..I'm not going anywhere.."
He sighed "Baby..."
I sighed softly "How about we get away for a couple days you, me and the kids..."
Roman looked at me "Where?"
I smiled softly "I'd like to see where you grew up.."
He gave me a faint smile "Florida?"
I nodded "Well I think every kid needs to visit Disney at least once in their lives."
Roman smiled "Let's do it..."
I smiled "Okay..."
He kissed me again "I'll see you after work...we'll leave tomorrow.."
I nodded "Okay.."
Roman smiled "Okay.."
I caught his arm as he went to walk away "I love you."
