"Hey, babe."

I said as I kissed Fergal's cheek.

"Hey."

He said weakly.

"How do you feel?"

"I'm in pain."

"Yeah, I figured."

I said with a tiny laugh.

"How are you and Zoey?"

Fergal asked as he rubbed my bump.

"We'll be okay. I think she was stressing out Too from everything that happened today. We'll just have to take it easy at home."

I said as I sighed.

"You can go home, love."

Fergal said.

"No. I don't wanna leave you here alone."

I said as I rubbed his hand.

"I'm serious. Go home. You're going to be uncomfortable on those shitty hospital chairs on night then your back is going to hurt. I know you, Pam. Go home, be with Aria, and be comfortable for you and Zoe. You guys have gone through a lot today."

Fergal said.

"You sure?"

I asked him.

"I'm positive. I love you."

"I love you too."

I said, bending down to kiss him.

"And I love you too, little girl. Stay in there and don't cause your Mom anymore pain."

Fergal said as he kissed my bump. I laughed as he smiled at me.

"I'll see you later."

I said as I walked out of the room.

Later That Night

Aria and I laid on the couch, watching a movie in silence, when she grabbed the remote and paused the TV.

"Mom, I need to talk to you."

Aria said.

"Okay, what's up?"

"How did you get through when...when Kyle and Seth raped you?"

She asked with tears in your eyes.

"Did they do that to you sweetheart?"

I asked her. She nodded her head as I wrapped her in my arms.

"I know it's hard but you'll get through it, sweetheart. I'm always here for you. Your Dad is gonna be here for you. Everything is gonna me okay. They're never going to be able to hurt you ever again. I mean, your Dad smashed Mandy's head so hard she literally got brain damage."

I said with a tiny laugh.

"So we're save?"

Aria asked.

"We're safe. I promise."

I said as I wiped the tears from her cheeks as she smiled. We're finally safe.
