Alex was not sure how he could ever convince Hope that it was not his fault about what happened to them or his mother.  All he could do was continue to hold him and run his fingers thru his hair.  “Hope, you went to your mom about what happen, it was your moms choice to go after Rex so it was her fault in that aspect.”<br/><br/>Alex sighed because he was not sure what to say because to be honest it was not anyone’s fault other than the asshole who did this too them.  “Too be honest Hope it wasn’t her fault either, she was trying to do what was best for the both of you, she just couldn’t catch a break.”  Alex wished he would have known about them sooner because he would have been glad to help them out and maybe he could have saved his mother’s life too.<br/><br/>Alex knew that Hope’s concerns about Rex were good concerns, but that man better not even think about coming anywhere near Hope because he would be meet with the end of Jamie’s gun.  Alex did not believe in carrying a gun, but he was not against Jamie having one.  In the line of protection it was a given for someone to at least be carrying a weapon.  “Of course I promise to take care of you that man will never get near you if he wants to continue breathing.”<br/><br/>“Take a few deep breaths and it will pass.”  Alex said once he heard what Hope said as he patter his hand that was under his shirt.  Alex noticed the IV had stopped about the same time Hope had told him so he got up and left the room to grab the few things that he was going to need.  He came back and took the alcohol wipe and cleaned the end once he unhooked the medicine bag.  After everything was cleaned he threw the bag and cord away and clapped his hands together.  “All done, now you’re all mine.”  Alex said with a funny little evil laugh trying to lighten things up a little.<br/><br/>Alex smiled as Hope held onto him tight not wanting to leave the bed.  Alex was coming to terms with the fact that this man cared about him and Alex was not going to push him away any more and just let things happen the way they happen.  “Well we have plans already for today. “  Alex said with a smile and kissed Hope’s head, “But we will be in bed this evening, and hopefully back in my bed?”  Alex asked in the form of a questions.
