Rachel held her daughter, despite the protests of her body trying to tell
her otherwise "Hey sweetpea."
She kissed the top of her head and stroked her hair in a soothing motion
"That was a pretty bad man we beat up today, wasn't it? You were very brave
today, you know."
Kat shook her head, "no I wasn't," she replied miserably. "And I really
messed up." She felt horrible about the mean things she thought about
Julia.

Derek looked up from a piece of paper he had been reading and smiled at
Alex, even if it was tinged with the effects of being a human rag doll
earlier, tired circles already showing under his eyes "Of course not... are
you all right?"
Alex entered teh room and approached teh bed sitting on the side. "I'm
fine," she assured him. "Just a few bruises, nothing serious. I know I've
been saying that you needed a vacation for a long time, but this is taking a
bit far you know. I was thinking more along the lines of Jamaica."
Alex and Kat
