What if?
Rating: PG-13
Summery: What if something went on more than was led to believe between Jesse and Winnie during the water scene? What if Winnie and her family went away for another reason? What if she went back to the spring?
Note: Always happy to hear if I should quit while I'm ahead, so tell me if this sucks, but do it nicely or I'll have to go Hannibal on your ass. Oh yeah, I doing this from the movie version and seeing how they never said how much time passed, I'm thinking at least a month after they rescued May.

Winnie looked out the carriage window as she watched the scenery go by. Each passing mile made her heart ache; it made it ache so badly that she had to put a hand on her chest from time to time. She closed her eyes and leaned her head against the padding of the seat and her mind was instantly filled with the images of her and Jesse and Mae and Tuck and even his sour older brother, gradually she fell asleep.
Her mother looked across at her daughter and fought the tears she felt welling in her eyes. Still not over the mourning of her mother and now she had to deal with this. She didn't know what to do, except persuade her husband that they need to leave Treegap for a while. At least until it was over. Mrs. Foster heard her daughter moan and then she heard the name. It came out in a whisper "Jesse.." Her mother closed her eyes and a single tear slipped out.

Winnie rushed back to the pot she had been throwing up in for the last several hours since the steamer left for Rome. She wondered how long this was to go on before it quite, her mother told that it could sometimes last the whole time. She looked at the offending thing that caused her throw up, fish. She hated fish and she never liked to eat it but her mother instated that she eat some fish.
She laid herself back into her bed and found herself wishing for Jesse. And Mae. As much as she loved her mother, she didn't have the instinctive maternal instincts that Mae had, her mother had a nanny for her before she was born and was only bothered when it was feeding time. She screwed her nose up at that thought, she made it seem like her mother couldn't been bothered by her.
That wasn't the truth. Her mother was a good mother but she only started being her mother when she was at least ten and could take care of herself. She ignored the knock she heard at her door and went back to sleep.

"Miss? Miss, you need to wake up, everybody is departing." Winnie woke with a start and looked at the flight attendant in confusion until she remembered where she was. She noticed that the attendant was looking at her with concern. "Thank you. I'm sorry if we caused trouble." The lady gave her a kind smile and shook her head. " Don't worry about it. There is someone like you on every flight."
Winnie gave a weak smile. No matter how longed she lived she would never be used to this new technology. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that humans would be able to fly like birds. She turned to the person next to her and gazed with affection at the face. She shook her shoulder; "Sweetie? Come on its time to get off...Ow!" The last part woke up her companion when she saw Winnie looking in annoyance at a man that was too large for the walkways of a plane.
" You okay?" she asked Winnie in concern. She nodded her head and reached above her for the bag that was in the overhead compartment. Winnie looked to her companion and asked her if she was ready. She nodded and watched Winnie pull out little music box and started playing song that she never knew that name of but remembered it well. It was what put her to sleep as a baby. Winnie said that the tune was from time in her girlhood and that it always calmed her.
They walked through the airport terminal and headed for baggage claim. Or what one of her friend's back in LA used to say " Its Hell on earth. I'm telling you if you ever want to do something bad just go to the airport and wait at the baggage claim. Then just imagine that for an eternity."
After fifteen minutes of looking at luggage that looked the same they finally came across theirs and head for the shuttle that would take them to car rental and from the car rental they would make their way to Winnie's home town, Treegap.
