Helena & Jessie.

Helena has a terrible dream of an incident from her past.

"Ohhh," Helena rolled over in bed and looked at the clock, 2.15 am. A sharp pain in her abdomen told her it was time. She quickly dialed Sarah's number. A sleepy voice answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Sestra, babies is coming!"

"Where's Jessie?"

"Jessie working overtime to earn extra money for babies.… Owww!" Another pain. "Can you come Sarah?"

"I'm on my way!" Sarah dropped the phone and dressed quickly, she arrived in record time and bundled Helena into Mrs. S' truck. "Pain is getting worse Sestra!" "It's okay Helena, we're here now." When the 'science babies' had been delivered, the nurse handed them over to Helena and when she looked at their face she screamed. The babies had Henrik Johansson's face!

Helena sat bolt upright in bed, breathing heavy like she had just run a marathon. Jessie woke with a start beside her asking anxiously.

"Helena, what's wrong? Is it time?"

"I had bad dream Jessie, I dreamed I was in Hospital having babies and when it was over, and they gave me babies, their face looked like 'Fish Man.'

Jessie was puzzled, "Who is Fish Man?" he asked.

"Did I not tell you story of Fish Man?"

"No"

"Alright, I will tell, but first I have craving. Can you get me sardines & mustard? And pork rind? These I like."

When Jessie had returned and Helena was enjoying her snack she began the story while crunching pork rind and licking mustard off her fingers.

"After fight in bar, (crunch) police took me away,(crunch) then let me go cause my Sestra came to take me home,(crunch) only was wrong Sestra."(crunch)

"Who was it?"

"Gracie Johansson, she took me back to fish farm and her father, I call him fish man, he placed babies inside me. Is these babies" she said pointing to her abdomen. "These are science babies. He tricked me; he put my babies into Gracie too!"

Jessie couldn't believe what he was hearing. Helena continued. "I lost temper; I did to him what he did to me, and then burned down barn so he could not do it again. But don't tell Art, I said was not me."

"That's terrible Helena; what can I do to help?"

"Just hold me Jessie."

"Okay, you want to go back to sleep?"

"Yes Jessie."

"Well, sweet dreams this time eh?"

"Yes Jessie, good night, don't let the bedbugs bite!"

Helena then broke wind and Jessie complained.

"Helena!"

"Was not me Jessie, was science babies!"

THE END.
