A Chance Encounter!

As the paramedics tended to Somsak, Becky's thoughts swirled in chaos. "He saved my life," she whispered, her voice trembling.

Freen's eyes locked onto Becky's, concern etched on her face. "Becky, we were right there. We would have protected you."

But Becky's gaze drifted away, her mind reeling. It wasn't until the paramedics began loading Somsak into the ambulance that Freen approached her.

"Beck, I..." Freen began, but Becky cut her off.

"Don't apologize, Freen," Becky said firmly, her hand grasping Freen's. "You did what you had to do. He was shooting at you."

Becky's eyes searched Freen's, her expression resolute. "I need to go with him. Meet me at the hospital?"

Freen nodded, a hint of surprise on her face. "Yeah, I'll be there. As soon as I can."

Despite the fact that Becky had asked her to meet her at the hospital, Freen couldn't help feeling anxious when she finally managed to get away from the crime scene. Understanding her partner's feelings, Nam had stayed behind with Noey, allowing Freen to drive to the hospital on her own, as she didn't enjoy discussing her feelings, especially when she was feeling scared.

"You shot your girlfriend's father," Freen whispered to herself, resisting the urge to rest her head against the steering wheel, not needing to get in an accident after the day she was already having. "You've really done it this time, Freen. Becky may not understand her feelings for the man, but he's still a blood relative."

Frustrated with herself, Freen drove slower than she normally would, feeling a rather persistent ache in her stomach at the thought of facing her girlfriend. The normally stoic Detective was almost shaking by the time she finally made it to the hospital, finding Becky in the waiting room, sitting with her head in her hands.

As if sensing the brunette's presence, Becky looked up as soon as Freen walked in, letting out a deep breath as she got to her feet. "Freen," the blonde sighed, grateful as her girlfriend wrapped her arms around her.

"How is he?" Freen asked, relieved that Becky hadn't pushed her away, but still rather nervous.

"He's in surgery," Becky replied, holding on to Freen tightly, wondering how she managed to play out this scene twice in the same week, first with her Mother and now with Somsak. "The doctor is supposed to inform me when it's over," she finally pulled back, taking Freen's hand instead. "I had to tell them he was my…they only give information to family. People will know now. If they didn't already…they'll know I'm…that he's my…"

"It doesn't matter," Freen interrupted, pulling Becky to sit down. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you. We'll keep you safe from Somsak's enemies," she assured the blonde, reaching up and tucking a loose curl behind her girlfriend's ear. "Plus Somsak will be in our custody now. He shot Kevin. He tried to shoot a police officer. We finally got him," she said, watching as Becky nodded absentmindedly, obviously still unsure about how she was supposed to feel.

"Becky I'm…I never meant for this to happen. I didn't want to shoot him but he…and…he shot Kevin and he was aiming at…"

"I know Freen," Becky sighed, squeezing Freen's hand in hers. "I know you didn't want this. I know you're nervous," she said giving the brunette a small smile, easily able to read the brunette's anxiousness as it was written all over her face. "This is all just very confusing for me," she then admitted. "But the important part is you're okay. You're here and you're okay and we solved the case and I'm…I'm just really happy you're okay."

Seeing the look on Becky's face, Freen suddenly wished there was something she could do to fix this whole situation; some way that she could undo the last few days so that her girlfriend didn't have to struggle the way she was so obviously doing now.

"You know I would never tell you it's gonna be okay when I don't know that it is," Freen eventually said, leaning forward and placing a kiss on the blonde's forehead. "But I promise you that I'm here for you Becky. I'm always here for you and Anna okay? We're gonna figure this all out and I'm gonna be here for you. For whatever you need alright? You just…I'm here."

"Thank you Freen," Becky nodded, placing her head on the brunette's shoulder. "I love you so much."

"I love you too Becky," Freen sighed a deep sigh of relief. "More than anything Beautiful."
