Danny carried Jessica into the hospital. A nurse saw that Jessica was hurt and immediately pushed a wheelchair towards them.

Danny bent down to place Jessica on the wheelchair but her grip tightened on Danny's shirt.

"No Danny! Don't put me down." Jessica cried out. "Don't, please."
"Jess, baby, I'm right here. We need to get you taken care of. Okay? I'll stay by your side the whole time." Danny said soothingly.

Jessica finally nodded her head and let Danny place her in the wheelchair. Jessica then grabbed Danny's hand and made sure he went with her.

Danny's hand was in pain but it wasn't about him right now. He needed to be there for Jessica and push the pain aside.

Soon they got Jessica into a room and into a hospital gown. Danny had turned his face away so he could give Jessica some privacy.

Once in the hospital gown, a doctor came in and the questioning began. The doctor had asked Danny to leave to give them some space to work but Jessica threw a fit.

The doctor also thought Danny had done this to Jessica because Danny's hand was now becoming bruised. Jessica sobbed as she told the doctor that it wasn't Danny who had done this and had pulled that person away from her. The doctor finally allowed Danny to stay, making Jessica calm down.

Jessica didn't want to do this, not again. Not ever, but she had to be strong like she had been five years ago. Jessica held Danny's hand the whole time she told the story of what happened.

Immediately, a rape kit was requested and the special victims unit of Cloquet was called.

Jessica cried through the entire time of getting the procedure done and the questioning from the police detectives . Jessica never let go of Danny's hand. If he tried to move an inch, Jessica would come undone. So, Danny sat as still as he could to keep Jessica calm.

After the detectives were done with their questioning, a warrant was put out to arrest Ben. They excused themselves and a few minutes later, the doctor put Jessica into a hospital room for the night.

Danny held her hand as they wheeled her to her assigned room. They got her situated and finally left them alone for a moment. The doctor ordered a sedative to help Jessica sleep.

Danny sat on Jessica's bed as he held her in his arms. Jessica cried silently on his chest.

"Jess...do you want me to call your aunt?" Danny asked as he rubbed her back gently.
"She's probably worried. We were supposed to pick up Jenna an hour ago."
Jessica sniffled and nodded; she didn't want to tell Jane but Danny was right; Jane was probably worried sick by now. "Yes. You can call her but...but wait until I'm asleep. Please."
"Of course." Danny said. "I love you Jessica."
"How can you still love me after this?!" Jessica said as all she had worked to become better had come undone. "Why did this happen to me a second time!? What did I do wrong?"
"Jessica...this isn't your fault! You didn't do anything to cause this. It is horrible that you had to go through this a second time." Danny soothed. He was trying to stay strong for her but on the inside, his heart broke for the women he loves. He pushed his tears away and said. "Again, I repeat, this wasn't your fault. You had no control over this and to answer your question...I will always love you. You are the girl I fell in love with when I was thirteen years old and the girl I have been waiting on. I am going to be here for you and help you through this. I am not going anywhere."

Jessica sobbed once Danny stopped speaking. Again she was shocked that Danny loved her this much.

Just then the doctor came back and administered the sedative.

"Ms. Lange, this will help calm you down so you can rest and get some sleep." The doctor said.

Jessica just nodded and closed her eye as the medication took affect instantly. Her grip from Danny loosened and next moment, Jessica was asleep.

The doctor excused herself and Danny continued to hold Jessica until he knew she was in a deep sleep.

Danny gently moved Jessica a little so he could grab the hospital phone to call Jane.

He dialed the number and waited for an answer. He finally let his tears fall. Three rings later, Brad answered the phone.

"Hello Brad. It's Danny." He said quietly. "May I speak to Jane?"
"Danny? What's going on?" Brad asked worriedly.
Danny sighed and said. "Something happened tonight and Jessica is in the hospital. I wanted to let Jane know."
"Oh god...is she okay?" Brad asked.
"Yes...for now." Danny replied.
"Okay, let me get Jane. Hold on." Brad said.

Brad put down the phone and walked to the kitchen where Jane was. It was after eleven and Jessica was late. Jane was so worried; she had tried to call Danny and the diner but got no answer.

The kids were fast asleep but Jennavive wanted her mommy and Jane had a tough time getting her to sleep. Normally, Jane had no trouble putting Jennavive to bed but tonight, there was something off making Jennavive fussy.

Jane was currently in the kitchen making herself a cup of tea to calm her nerves down.

Brad walked into the kitchen and said. "Jane...Danny's on the phone. Something happened to Jessica. She's in the hospital."
Jane's heart beat began to race.
"What? What happened?!" Jane said as she turned away from her cup of tea.
"Danny didn't say." Brad said.

Jane rushed to the phone and spoke to Danny. Danny didn't tell her what happened. He wanted to wait till she got to the hospital.

Brad told Jane that he would stay behind with the kids while she went to be with Jessica. Jane quickly got dressed then made her way to the hospital.

So many scenarios popped into her head as Jane drove down the quiet streets of Cloquet. However, as Jane turned down another street, she saw an ambulance and police cars surrounding a car that was wrapped around a tree.

A police officer guided Jane through the scene and Jane was on her way to the hospital.  Jane prayed that who ever was in that car was okay.

A few minutes later, Jane found a parking space in the hospital parking lot. Jane rushed inside and went straight to the hospital room Danny told her Jessica was in.

Jane opened the door and saw her niece fast asleep on Danny's chest.

"Danny?" Jane said quietly. "What the hell happened!?" Jane saw Jessica's bruises on her face,
"Jane..." Danny began; he gently moved Jessica from him and he stood up from the bed. Danny made sure Jessica didn't stir.

He breathed a sigh of relief that he didn't wake her and he motioned for Jane to follow him outside. They found an empty waiting room and Danny faced Jane.

"I was late picking Jessica up." Danny said as he hung his head. "I had a flat tire on the way to the diner and...when I finally got there...I saw the backdoor of the diner wide open and another car I didn't recognize parked outside." Tears formed in his eyes and he held them back as he continued. "I ran inside and...and I found her coworker attacking her. Jane...he...he raped her."

Jane gasped and had to sit on a nearby chair. Jane began to sob.

"No...no!" Jane sobbed. "Oh Danny! Why Jessica!? Why anyone for that matter!? She's been through so much already. She's come a long way in therapy and now...oh god..."

Danny hugged Jane and she held onto him for support.

"Did they catch the man that did this?" Jane asked.
"No. I pulled him off of her and I punched him a few times before he over powered me then he ran off. The police are looking for him right now." Danny said as he had finally let his tears fall. "I'm so sorry I let him get away. I wish I didn't. I wanted to kill him with bare hands. I still do!"
Jane shook her and said. "No Danny. That wouldn't do any good. Let the police do their job and catch him. He needs to pay for what he has done to my niece."

They were quiet for a moment then they both calmed themselves down and headed back to Jessica's room.

Danny sat on a chair beside Jessica and held her hand. Jane sat on the other side of the bed and did the same. She held onto Jessica's hand tightly; she continued to sob. Thoughts of why this had to happen entered her mind. Her mind raced a hundred miles an hour.

A few minutes later, Jane walked out of the room to call Brad. He didn't know anything of what was going on and he must have stayed up to wait for Jane's call because he answered the phone on the first ring.

Jane filled Brad in and he was just as heartbroken. They spoke for a moment longer then Jane hung up and returned to Jessica's side.

Hours later, Jessica began to go stir; tears began to roll down her cheeks. Danny and Jane saw what was happening and they sat on the edge of their seats, waiting for her to fully wake up.

Jessica groaned then she began to whimper; she was in the middle of a dream of what had happened.

"Mommy....help me!" Jessica whimpered. "Mommy please make it stop! Make him stop!"
"Shhh, Jessica, it's okay." Jane said soothingly. "Wake up baby girl."
"Aunt Jane?" Jessica said as she her eyes began to flutter open.
"Yes, I'm here." Jane said.

Jessica's eyes fully opened and she looked at Jane with the most heartbreaking expression on her face. "Aunt Jane...it happened again." She sobbed. "Ben...he...he raped me!"

Jane stood up and sat by Jessica on the hospital bed and held her close.

"Ben?" Jane said shocked; she knew who Ben was and just couldn't believe he would do such a thing. "Oh my god. Oh Jessie."

Jessica sobbed her heart out; she wanted to disappear.

"Danny! Where's Danny?!" Jessica said in a panic.
Danny stood up and got closer to Jessica. "I'm right here Jess. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."

Jessica launched herself into Danny's arms held on tight.

"Why? Why did this have to happen? Why me?!" Jessica yelled. She was becoming unglued by the second. "Why again!? Have been through enough!? Why?!" She kept repeating.
"Jessica, please calm down." Jane said worriedly. "Jessie please. You'll make yourself sick. Oh god. I'll get a doctor!"

Jane rushed out the door and found a nurse who then paged the doctor who treated Jessica.

The doctor rushed in with Jane following close behind. As they entered, they saw Danny holding Jessica once again. He was rocking her back and forth as if she were a small child. Jessica was crying silently and she wasn't erratic as before.

The scene touched Jane's heart; thank goodness for Daniel Huston, she thought to herself.

The doctor checked Jessica over as best she could; Jessica wasn't letting go of Danny for anything.

The doctor ordered some medication that would help Jessica to remain calm.

Sometime later, Jane called Jessica's therapist and she was on her way to the hospital.

Jessica was curled up to Danny's side. She wasn't crying anymore. It seemed as if she had ran out of tears to shed.

A knock on the door interrupted the silence of the room. Jane opened the door and in walked in two police detectives.

"Ms. Lange, sorry to bother you. But we have some news on the man that assaulted you." One detective said.

Danny helped Jessica sit up a little and Jessica waited for them to go on.

"Mr. Ben Edwards was tracked down to a friend's home. When we tried to go in and arrest him, he ran out the back door and got into his car." The other detective said. "A police chase ensued and, as we were closing in on him, Mr. Edwards lost control of his car and crashed into a tree. He was dead on impact."
