MAGGIE POV
After being electrocuted and water boarded I'm now exhausted and just barley awake. Thankfully Michael walks away slamming the door behind him and I'm left alone silently begging Omar to find me soon as I drift into unconsciousness.
When I come to he's back with a knife and I immediately start to struggle.
"It's no use agent you and I both know your gonna die here so just stop trying to escape." He says to me as he cuts away my pants away so now I'm left in my underwear. "Please don't do this" I'm begging him but he runs his hands up and down my body and it's making me sick. He kisses me and starts touching me everywhere, telling me what he's going to do to me and with that I kick out with everything I had left. He definitely didn't like that and I feel searing white hot pain in my side. I look down to see the knife sticking out of my side. My prayers are answered when I hear my favorite voice.
"FBI" it's Omar and a bunch of swat members that have entered the building. We lock eyes and I know I'm gonna be ok.

OA POV
I burst through the doors gun drawn and am horrified by the sight that meets me. Maggie now has a knife sticking out of her side and is barely conscious. Micheal try's to run but one of the SWAT agents tackle him to the ground.
"Maggie I'm here you're safe now" I say as I reach her side. I uncuff her and she wraps her arms around my neck. I pick her up gently and carry her to the waiting ambulance.

MAGGIE POV
I wake up hearing a bunch of beeping and I realize I'm in a hospital. I feel someone holding my hand and I look to see it's Omar and now I know I'm safe. I start to move and my monitors are screaming as pain shoots through my body making Omar's head snap up wondering who hurt his partner. 
"Hey your awake. How do you feel?" OA asks worry evident in his eyes.
"I feel like I got run over by a truck I need water please." I respond hoarsely and OA helps me sit up a bit which hurt and I cringe a bit. Unfortunately Omar saw it as well and told me to lie back down and get comfy.
"I'm fine Omar" I try to tell him but he is having none of it.
"You're my partner and I can tell when your in pain so lay back down" he retorted and I knew I couldn't argue with him.
"I'm so sorry Mags I am supposed to have your back and instead I let you down. This is all my fault" Omar said looking ashamed of himself. I can see the tears he's trying to hold back.
"This is not on you Omar. I never blamed you, not once. You did have my back you saved my life and Ill be forever great full for it." I responded as I take his hand in mine.  After a few moments I drift off to sleep knowing my partner and best friend is here with me.

OA'S POV
As Maggie falls asleep I can't help but think back to when I found her. She was in so much pain and so scared and it broke my heart to see her breaking down in front of me. She is one of the strongest women I have ever met and I realize in this moment that I'm starting to fall in love with my partner.  I know I shouldn't but I can't help but notice how beautiful she is even after being tortured and now lying in a hospital bed. She is gorgeous. I want to have a future but only with her.
After an hour Maggie starts thrashing around, eyes shut tight and I know she is having a nightmare. I grab her hand and gently try to coax her out of it.
"Maggie it's me OA, your safe and in the hospital. It's ok Mags, come back to me." After a few minutes of this she comes out of her nightmare and is shaking so hard. I just hold her as she breaks down and sobs in my arms.

MAGGIE POV
As I lay there sobbing in Omar's arms I start to calm down. But I'm still scared.
"I was too weak to fight him and I'm still weak. I should not be breaking down. I'm sorry." I say to him, humiliated with myself.
"Maggie you are not weak ok? He tortured you and stabbed you. You have every right to cry and let it out, that doesn't make you weak. I know you're scared and in pain but I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere." He replies and I can see his heart breaking for me.
"I love you Omar I really do" I watch as he smiles so big and I know I'm safe.

OA POV
"I love you too Mags." It feels so good to say it and it couldn't be more true. I love her with everything I have. I kiss her forehead gently to say goodnight but as I pull back she grabs my shirt and pulls me back. Our lips meet and we started to battle for dominance. I was so shocked but I loved every second of it. We only pulled back when we started to lose our breath. 

MAGGIE POV
I secretly had always loved Omar but just never knew if he loved me back. The way he treats me, and is always there for me and after that kiss I know he loves me too. As I'm thinking of all this I'm starting to get very uncomfortable in this bed. I Want to get out of here.
"Omar can you please take me home. I don't want to be here anymore."  I ask him and I throw in my puppy eyes and hope he gives in.
"Sorry Mags but I'm not bringing you home until the doctors clear you. And by the way I have three sisters, all of whom are younger than me. Puppy dog eyes don't work on me."  He answers back and I know I'm out of luck. "It was worth a shot right" I say back. "I guess so" he replies. With that I let sleep and exhaustion take over and I fall asleep knowing Omar will keep me safe.
