Ch 2
Madara looked at Sasuke and raised a brow. "So Itachi has a daughter how interesting. I never knew about that little tidbit."
"Join the club." He sighed.
"She lived in New York, near Syracuse." Madara nodded. Andrea took his hand, Madara touched both and they landed in the bitter cold. They had dressed for it just in case. "Andrea try to sense her."
Andrea closed her eyes and felt something immediately. She honed in on it and nodded.
"She is in a class room. Forty miles from here." Madara touched her and felt the Location. He took them to the outside of the school. Then he left. He gave Sasuke a scroll to summon him when they were ready to go. He wanted to get back to Judy.
Andrea held his hand as they waited for school to let out. They followed her in the bus and watched her get off of it and walk to a small house. "I feel like this is right." Sasuke sighed. He walked to the door and knocked.
A very pretty woman answered. She looked at him and gasped. "Oh my god, you're him."
"I think this is her." Andrea added needlessly. Sasuke frowned at her.
"You think? Could we come in?" She frowned.
"Why are you here?"
"To check on my niece." He said softly. "We are not here to hurt you or your daughter." She looked at him and sighed.
"Alright." She moved out of the way. They walked in and she sat down. "You are taller than I saw you last."
Now that he saw her he could remember his brother's dream. He blushed a little. Emotions welled up in him that his brother felt for this woman. He looked at her and smiled. She watched him warily he let his eyes spin and pulled her in.
Andrea sat down and watched them frozen in his eyes.
Olivia looked around and frowned. "Where am I?"
"Inside my mind." Sasuke offered. "Go, call him he'll come to you." Sasuke turned away but, unfortunately there was no way to get away from what happened and give them privacy but, he did the best he could.
Itachi watched her and tears slid down her face. She ran and he caught her. "Oh God I missed you." She kissed his face. His eyes his lips. He pulled her close and kissed her back. "She is perfect." she laughed through her tears. "She's always right and it drives me nuts but, I love her."
Itachi's emotions were palpable. He pulled her close and slammed his mouth into hers. She moaned. He didn't care if she was with another man, married. For that moment she was his again. He had to pull away but, it was very hard to do. He sighed and buried his nose in her hair. "I love you I will always love you."
He pulled away. "But, my time is through." He sighed. "I can't come back. I'm sure you've moved on with your life anyway."
Sasuke frowned. Damn this wasn't right there should be something they could do. He was wrong Sasuke could hear her thoughts in here he was surprised Itachi couldn't. She had waited all this time. He let her kiss him one more time and then he let go of the hold he had on her. She closed her eyes and sagged. "I never thought I would see him again thank you for that."
"He can see everything I see." He smiled to her. He sees her." "Thank you." She mumbled. Her tears were streaming. "I need a minute." She stood and walked quietly out of the room. Sasuke tried not to hear her sobs he could feel his brother's pain.
Damn there had to be a way to fix this. He frowned. He felt the futility of the situation but, he didn't like this. She called to Camellia. "Cam honey come here a minute."
"Coming Mom." She walked out and he saw her. She was beautiful. Her dark hair was long her eyes were Itachi's it hurt to look at her for Sasuke and his brother. Even the five tail was sad.
He sighed. "Well hello." He smiled.
"You're Sasuke, my uncle." Sasuke looked at her and smiled.
"Yes honey that's me." He sighed.
"You killed my dad." He sighed. She frowned. "Then you felt bad." She looked away.
"Yes Cam I did. I felt awful. I loved my brother." She nodded.
"I saw you cry." He closed his eyes. "And then you went a little crazy." He could hear his brother's laughter. He raised a brow.
"Yes I guess I did." Andrea smiled.
"Cam would you like to talk to your Dad. I think Sasuke could do that for you." She looked at him. He nodded. He had used a little power but, not much. He looked in her eyes.
"Just relax." She frowned. "I would never hurt you."
"Okay." She sighed and tried to smile a little.
He looked at her and pulled her in. She looked around. "I've seen this place. Mom never watches them but, I know. This is where Kakashi was."
"Nothing like that will happen here my dear." He knelt down. "Do your eyes change yet." She frowned. "It's okay no one will be upset." She nodded.
"Yes. It happened when I watched you fight with my father. I was really mad." She sighed. "I wanted to stop you."
"I wish someone would have stopped me." He sighed.
"I know." She smiled a little. Sasuke turned her around and pointed. "Is that my Dad how can he be here?"
"This is the part of him that was inside Naruto." She took a deep breath.
"Oh."
"Go ahead honey." He rubbed her arms.
Cam stepped forward slowly, Itachi did the same. He knelt down and waited. Cam walked to him a frown on her face. "Hello."
"Hey honey." He sighed. "I know you're probably pretty upset right now."
"No not really but, it all seems pointless to me." She looked at him. "All you did was hurt your brother and, you didn't stop anything. You just made everyone hate you, you didn't help at all."
"I know that now." He sighed. "But, at the time it felt like it was the only way."
"I know." She sighed. He stood and looked at her.
"I don't expect you to forgive me." She looked at him for a few minutes.
"You made my Mom miserable you know." She smiled. "But, you did the best you could and you did what you thought was right." She smiled and hugged him a little awkwardly. "I wish you had been here."
"I wish that too." He smiled and pulled her close, his eyes closing tightly. "I'm so sorry." He whispered. "I wish I could have been there for you all your life." He sighed.
"You were." She smiled and wiped his tears away. "I watched you. She sighed. I saw you as a little boy." She sighed. "I wish things had been different but, you were there."
He stood and took her hand. "You see everything he does don't you."
"Yes." He smiled.
"That must be fun." She raised a brow. He frowned.
"You are far too intelligent." He frowned.
"Of course I am, look at my father." She grinned. They got back to Sasuke. "It must bother you doesn't it."
"What?" Sasuke frowned.
"Knowing that he sees everything you see." She smiled. Sasuke watched her and laughed.
"Well it didn't until I had a dream about him meeting your Mom." He raised his brows suggestively.
She laughed. She looked to be about sixteen. She was two years older than his youngest son. "It's time to go; I can't do this much longer. I never could do this as well as your dad."
"Okay." She nodded and hugged her father one more time. Sasuke let go and sagged a little. Andrea took his hand.
"Are you alright?" Olivia touched his forehead.
"You look like your brother." She frowned and pulled back.
Andrea sighed. "Yes I know." She smiled. "He's fine honey. He's just tired. He used a lot of energy to let you talk to Itachi. He'll be alright."
"Okay." She sighed and, sat down. "Now as happy as I was to see him again. What exactly are you here for?"
"I just wanted to see her, I didn't even know about her until yesterday." He sighed. "I had a niece, it matters to me. I have a daughter and two sons. Cousins. Even Madara has a son." Cam frowned.
"Madara really?"
"Yes." He raised his brows. "I know crazy huh? "Actually he lives in South Carolina."
"Here?" That had her eyes widening. He nodded.
They stayed for a little longer. Sasuke could see how much potential the girl had. He looked at this woman. Damn he didn't like this. He hated this he wanted to fix this somehow.
There was no way to make this better. He could feel it inside himself. His brothers thoughts trying to stop him. He had thought of it for a long time he wanted his brother back damn it. It shouldn't be impossible. Look at what they had already done. They had done things already that should have been impossible.
He stood. "Thank you so much for letting me see her."
"Thank you for letting us see Itachi."
They stepped outside and pulled the small summoning scroll. Cam stood on the porch in the snow her eyes red and intense as Madara appeared on the scroll. She watched him. He met her eyes.
"She's beautiful." He didn't approach.
"Yes she is. She looks like him."
"Yes." Cam walked towards him. "Hello."
"Hello Madara." She watched him and frowned. "You suddenly decided to be good."
"Not exactly." He watched her. "I'm not good." He smiled. "I think you know that though." She just watched him intently. "I simply found something I wanted more than my goal." She watched him for a few more moments. Then nodded. She looked at Sasuke and nodded then she walked slowly back to the house and went inside.
"She's incredible." Madara shook his head. "She is just like him."
"I know." Sasuke frowned. "I hate leaving her but, I don't want to take her from her family."
"You may not have a choice soon." He sighed. "She is too much for this world just as my son is. And, your children. We have no idea how they connected. You need to know what happened. She may have some kind of special ability. She could have called to him through some unconscious need for the perfect mate."
"You are really reaching here."
"Am I. Some how Andrea ended up in our world just to be found by you. The only person that could have ever saved you. You agree." He nodded. He took their hands and they landed by the lake. "Now I know damn good and well because I know myself. I didn't give a damn about this world or any other. The only thing I cared about was getting out of this damn village and back to my life. I was quiet and polite biding my time. It worked. You all fell for it." He smiled. "Everyone except Judy. She knew exactly what I was. She loved me anyway the foolish woman." He sighed. "She saw something in me that wasn't there. She put it there. You should all be grateful that she ended up here." He was gone.
"Well that was creepy." Andrea sighed. "But, I think he's right." Sasuke took her hand and headed to the house.
"I think so too but, it did happen. It was fate or something. I don't know. But, he is on to something. We need to know how she met him. He really doesn't like it but, he agrees. He wants you to do it. He would feel better if you knew rather than me."
"Okay I will go and talk to her." She smiled.
"Are you ready?"
"Not on your life but, I understand." She sighed. "Go ahead and ask."
"I'm sorry but I really need this to be as detailed as possible so this is going to be more invasive I apologize for that but, I can promise you no one will ever know the details of your relationship but me." She frowned.
"Alright." She sighed. Andrea smiled.
"If it makes you feel any better the whole village got to read a book about my love life in perfect detail. I know I read it too." She blushed. Olivia paled. "See."
She pulled up her hands and smiled. "It's painless." She made the signs and grinned. "Just relax." She touched her temples. Andrea closed her eyes. Olivia's eyes slid shut slowly.
Andrea could hear her voice. The pictures floated into her mind and, the story began…
I moaned as I felt a hot mouth on my shoulder. "Am I dreaming?" "Perhaps I am as well." The voice was soft like velvet, deep and inviting. The lips moved to my throat. Intensely male.
"It's a very nice dream." I sighed and leaned away to give him better access to the flesh he was so lovingly tasting.
"It's going to get a lot nicer." The voice was filled with desire but, amusement as well. I smiled and looked. The eyes were smoky and dark…red. Red eyes. Why would I dream of a man with red eyes. Not just red eyes. But, red with a dark thick fringe of black lashes. So thick they looked like you could just get lost. "Your eyes they're so beautiful. I've never seen anything like them."
"Tell me your name my beautiful siren."
Andrea almost snickered. Good lord the man was incorrigible.
"My name is Olivia." She smiled and slid a hand up his cheek his skin was soft. "You're beautiful." She felt awe just looking at him.
"As are you Olivia." He closed his eyes and sighed. "I must go."
"Oh but, it hadn't gotten near as nice as you made it seem it would be." He looked at me and his eyes turned sad.
"Perhaps I will dream of you again then I can savor this lovely body as you deserve." I gasped as his hand slid over me very intimately. "I don't think anyone ever has."
"Probably not." I muttered. The dream faded into the background and I sighed. "Well that figures." I heard the alarm and rolled over.
"Will you get up !" I covered my head. "You're going to be late." I frowned and sat up.
"Mom, I already took the test and turned in my term paper what else is there anyway." Her mother frowned.
"There is you being there on the day you graduate." She sighed. "Listen the graduation is the part I waited for Olivia you could at least humor me." I stood up and sighed. God that felt so odd. My body was still a little shaky from need. That was one hell of a dream. I threw myself into the day.
I stood with the robe on and heard my name called. But, all day my mind was on my dream I couldn't seem to quit thinking about it. "Hey short stuff how do you feel." I grinned and Joey picked me up off my feet.
"Done." I sighed. He pulled my face up to kiss me but, I avoided it. Geez why did he pick now to be all love and affection he'd never been that way even when they were dating. "I'm going to finally be able to sleep in every once in a while." I had cared more about my studies than anything so I hadn't done anything for the last four years but, school.
"That's great." Joey unperturbed took my hand twining it in his. I sighed and pulled gently away. He looked at me for a moment hurt but, then he just smiled and leaned in. "Later right." I raised a brow. No not later never, idiot. My mother found me then and captured me. The day was hectic and then a graduation party at my parent's house. I was finally old enough to drink so they insisted I have some.
By the time I finally got to bed I was tipsy and exhausted. Joey of course would pick that time for an attack. "Joey come on I half lit and I'm tired."
"I'm so proud of you." His arms wrapped around me his lips finding my shoulder. The same shoulder that had been caressed by the dream lips. It now felt like I was being slobbered on by a great big dog. I pushed at him.
"Joey I'm done with this. Come on you broke up with me I don't care. Just go away." He sighed and smiled. His brown eyes dancing.
"You still love me Livs. I know you do."
"No Joey I don't, you left me. Why are you even here?"
"It's someone else isn't it?"
"No Joey." I was pretty sure dreams didn't count. I looked in his eyes and frowned. If I didn't do something he was going to try to touch me again and, I really didn't want that. "Yes Joey there is, he's amazing. I was with him just last night." I almost laughed but, it did the trick he frowned, called me a slut then, he was thankfully gone. I had already taken a shower but, I took another I felt dirty now. I climbed into bed.
I was so tired. I figured I wouldn't dream at all. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out like a light.
My eyes opened slowly. I could hear crickets, night sounds. I looked up and saw the stars. "This is beautiful. I've never seen so many stars."
"Hello again." His voice curled through me like honey. I looked at him and sighed.
"I don't believe I've ever had such vivid dreams before." My words were soft. The anticipation was something I couldn't ignore. He reached his hand down and I took it slowly. "I've never had a dream like this before." He searched my eyes.
"Nor have I." His fingers twined through mine and he pulled them up to kiss them. I watched fascinated as his lips lingered on my knuckles. I couldn't help the trembling. "I find it intriguing that this is happening at all." His eyes captured mine. "I have considered this is some kind of genjutsu."
"You think it's an illusion." I said absently. I was pretty sure that was what that word meant. It was very hard to think with him looking at me that way.
"I would think not but, then I have to accept you are some figment of my imagination." I nodded.
"I guess I feel the same." I reached up and touched his lips they felt so real. Soft and warm. "But, this feels real. More real than any other time a man touched me. I even used the moment we had in the other dream to fend away an ex boyfriend tonight." His eyes were hard for a moment.
"He wanted to spend the night with me I think." I turned and looked out at the night.
Hands slid into my hair. "And, why would you wish to fend him off?"
"He's an idiot." I sighed as his fingers slid over my bare shoulders. I was wearing the gown I had gone to bed in. It was long and draped all the way to the floor one of my favorites. "He tried to kiss me he even touched me…" His lips found that spot on my shoulder. "Yep just like that." I whispered.
"And, how did you feel?" He mumbled against my skin.
"Dirty." I admitted breathlessly. "I had to bathe again before I went to bed."
"You smell like jasmine." His words were husky. "What do you feel when I touch you?" His lips brushed my ear and I shook.
"Overheated." I gasped. His laughter was soft.
"I don't know how this can be a dream?" I sighed and leaned back against him. "It's too vivid. And which of us is dreaming? If I was dreaming then this would go exactly how I wanted."
"Hmm. It is a theory." His fingers slipped under my chin and pulled my face around gently. "I think we should test it. If this is a my dream then you should know exactly what I want right now." His voice was low and husky.
I watched him and felt my heart flutter. "Then it must be mine because I only know what I want." I rasped. His lips slid over my jaw.
"And, what is that Olivia?" I loved the way he said my name.
"To not wake up." I sighed. His lips stopped at mine but, he didn't kiss me.
"Maybe we are sharing this dream then." His words were felt more than heard. I had never been so hot in my life. He was driving me insane. I touched his face and tried to kiss him but, he pulled away. I opened my eyes and frowned.
"Maybe not, If this was my dream you would kiss me." I muttered.
His fingers slid into my hair. "Would I?" I could feel the strength in him. It was overwhelming the power in his hands. I could feel it. I had never experienced anything like it.
"Yes." I shivered.
"And, what would that be like do you think?" I closed my eyes and moaned.
"God I'd really like to find out." I growled out. His lips touched my brow and I whimpered. He hadn't even really kissed me yet and, I could feel how taught my body was. How had he done this without doing anything at all. My temple burst with sensations as his lips caressed there. "Please, I can't take this." I whispered and covered his hands with my own. "Please just kiss me."
I felt his lips hover over mine again. He brushed them once and twice just a touch. "You taste like honey." He settled finally and I whimpered as his lips moved over mine. He pulled my lip into his mouth and nibbled which made me gasp. I had never been kissed like this. I had been kissed but, not like this. With this kind of dark hunger. His tongue swept inside, he growled and his fingers flexed. He pulled away and I opened my eyes slowly. "You're like a little fire." He watched me and I didn't know what to say. I just wanted him to kiss me again. I didn't have to wait. His lips fell to mine and he kissed me until my head spun. Then his lips moved to my throat his tongue sliding over my pulse again. I just shook my teeth, chattering.
"I want you." I shuddered. I couldn't move he had me in an iron grip. My hands slid up his chest. "Please?" I begged.
"Patience." His whispered words were said against my collarbone. "I told you I would savor you. I intend to." He found my mouth again and delved inside coaxing me to follow him. I slid my tongue over his and nearly cried out. He tasted so dark and wonderful. "This gown is beautiful." He slid a hand over the soft silky material. "It's almost as if you're wearing nothing at all." I smiled and touched his clothes they were thick and heavy.
"You are wearing far too much." I murmured.
"Am I?" He smiled and watched me as I slid the buttons free on the cloak. His eyes were dark and smoldering.
I pushed the garment over his shoulders and smiled. "You are so strong I can feel it." I kissed his chest through the shirt. "Like a panther or a tiger all strength and power. It's intoxicating." I mumbled. I let my hands slide back down, pulling at his shirt. I needed to touch his skin. My fingers slid over his flat stomach all heat and steel. "You are so incredible."
" Don't I frighten you?" I shook my head slowly as I watched the shirt glide higher over his chest.
I followed the progress of the shirt with my eyes. He was magnificent. I placed a kiss over his heart.
"It is a dream after all." I mumbled. "You are far too perfect to be real." I met his eyes and they softened, for just a moment I saw a sadness that twisted my heart but, then it was gone.
Andrea wished at times like these for a fast forward button.
He stopped my hands as they reached for his pants. "No not yet." He slid a strap over my shoulder and kissed the skin there slowly. His lips lingering. Then the other shoulder. I trembled violently as I felt my gown gather at my breasts. His fingers slid over one nipple and it reached out for him. "God you are so beautiful and responsive." He sighed and his lips covered me through the material. I cried out and pushed into him. He did the same to the other and I could feel how ready I was the heat that was consuming me. His thumbs slipped into the fabric at my ribs and it fell gathering at my waist. He pulled in a breath. I couldn't imagine feeling so beautiful or sexy.
His lips captured my breast again he tugged and pulled it into his mouth. I cradled him to me and pushed forward. His lips moved to the other and repeated the delightful torture then a trail up my throat. He looked in my eyes. "You are beautiful." I whispered. "I have never wanted a man like I do you."
"Are you sure?" He pulled me closer and I could feel his desire. "Never."
I nodded and my head fell back as he rubbed against my already heated core I picked up one leg and slid it over his thigh intensifying the feel of him. His hand moved down to my ass and pulled me forward grinding against me. "Oh." I sighed. I felt it as I was lowered to the ground. He moved to my breasts again and I was ready to explode. He reached my waist and hooked his fingers in the gown. I lifted myself to help him pull it free. His tongue trailed down my body as he removed with the gown. I felt his teeth scrape over my skin in the hollow of my hip bone and I thought I would lose my mind.
When he slid back up my body I could feel his skin touching mine. He had removed his pants as well. When had he done that? I had the chance to wonder on that for a moment. Then his lips were over mine and his tongue was exploring mine. I felt a brush of fingertips over me and I instantly arched up into his hand. He groaned and kissed me deeper as he slid his fingers inside. I almost went over the edge then. I felt my fingers dig into his back. He pulled back and looked at me as his fingers moved inside me. He smiled as I writhed against him. "That's it. Just let go." He whispered. I didn't even know what he wanted anymore I was mindless. I arched into his touch as his fingers moved over me as well as inside and I felt myself winding up. His touch became insistent I couldn't hold it in anymore. I bucked against his hand and screamed. He smiled and kissed me his fingers still moving leisurely over me. "You are an incredible woman." He leaned down and kissed me again. His body was rigid. I slid my hand down and tried to touch him. He hissed in a breath and groaned as my fingers wrapped around him.
He covered my hand and stopped me. "I'm not anywhere near done with you." He whispered. I whimpered as he pulled my hand away. "Just relax." I watched him as he hovered over me. "You are far too sweet not to take my time." His eyes were burning into mine.
"I'm going to die." I rasped.
He laughed softly and kissed my chin then my jaw and finally his lips were at my ear. "I think this dream is running away with both of us." His words were like a fan on flames. I thought to myself. His breath wasn't as even and controlled anymore. His hair slid over my skin as his lips caressed my shoulder then my collarbone. Lower he moved but, slowly his tongue and his lips making me squirm and gasp. I had to remind myself to breath.
He traveled down my body and I knew I wouldn't survive what he was going to do next. I was already so aroused it was like being burned. His tongue slid over me and I didn't know whether I wanted to move closer or get away. I screamed and broke again. He was there his eyes so dark I thought I was seeing things. "You are more than you should be." He watched her. "I have never felt like this."
"Me either." I sighed. Hell I had never felt a tenth of what I was feeling right now I should be afraid but, it was a dream and, it was him. There was something about him. He watched me and smiled slowly.
His lips fell to mine. "I have been waiting for this since I first touched you." His breathing was almost as ragged as mine. "I don't lose control but, I have lost it with you." His tongue thrust into my mouth and I welcomed him. I moaned and buried my fingers in his hair. I felt him there and knew that this was a dream but, it felt so real. I should have been nervous. I wasn't it was like I had been mesmerized. He slid his hands down my thighs his lips still on mine. He thrust in and I gasped at the feeling. I rocked my hips and we both gasped. He dropped his head to my shoulder. "I'm afraid I've hurt you." He mumbled.
"It feels so good please don't stop." I sighed. He moved and I felt it to my toes. I moaned. He growled and his lips found my ear lobe he pulled on it and pushed even deeper. I felt my hands slide around his back I gripped his shoulders.
His breathing was ragged. I could feel myself growing tighter and tighter. I felt his fingers touch me. I whimpered. It was the most wonderful feeling I had ever had in my life. I went rigid and He did as well. How had I missed this feeling. I buried my face in his hair. "Oh God." I gasped. He held me and I listened to his heart.
"Olivia." My name a caress on his lips. Like he was tasting my name as he said it. He nuzzled my throat. "Olivia. I…"
I never knew what he would have said. I woke and groaned. "Damn it." I heard the knock again. I sat up slowly. "What, god what the hell?" My mom walked in.
"What the hell are you doing still in bed." I closed my eyes to the sun as she threw open the blinds. "It's noon." I sighed and glared at her.
"If you ever make me drink again I will eat your liver." I grumbled and fell back down. She laughed at me.
"You must have been dreaming really nice things." She raised a brow. "I heard you all the way down the hall last night. At first I thought you had let that moron Joey stay over but, then I saw that you were by yourself. I even tried to wake you but, you were really out of it." I thought about my dream so incredibly realistic it was terrifying and I flushed.
"Good lord mom some decency please." I watched her as she picked up the clothes from the night before. "Mom I can clean my own room."
"I know but, you should have a couple of days off before you have to be a real grown up." She kissed my forehead. "You've been sweating too. What a vivid dream that must have been. You need to pass those along." She grinned. I groaned, God help me.
"Mom I don't think you could handle it." I sighed and she laughed walking out. I stood slowly and realized how sore I was. Man it felt like I had worked out all night. Or had glorious wild sex all night which of course I hadn't. I realized I had sweat all over my damn sheets so I turned to snatch them and froze. There was blood on my sheets. I looked at the calendar. Nope I wasn't due for another three weeks to have my period. I didn't feel crampy anyway. That was weird. For just a second his words flitted through my mind. 'I'm afraid I've hurt you.' I just looked at it for a few minutes "Nah that's not possible." Then I decided that perhaps I had bled and just didn't realize maybe I should make a doctor's appointment.
I did the next day but, the first time she could get me in was two weeks away. I just decided it was probably a fluke anyway but, would wait and see.
I had an interview at three and decided to get ready early. I arrived at Chemcorp at two forty five and spoke with Kelly Robbins; after that I decided I really liked it. They had really liked my résumé so they had contacted me. I was a fabulous lab tech on my way to being a chemist. But, for now lab tech was good enough. And, this company made biosafe products that were good for the environment. A huge thing with me anyway. I smiled and walked out knowing I had a job and it was almost six figures. I was doing well.
I got the call two days later. I could start the following Monday I told Kelly about my Dr. appointment and he said it was fine. By the time it came though I wasn't sure it mattered anymore. I hadn't had a problem and much to my disappointment I hadn't had another dream either. It was the closest I had ever come to really feeling for someone. Too bad he wasn't real. I walked in and sat down after waiting for fifteen minutes. The doctor did the exam and stood up. She moved to the counter and started setting up specimens. "Do you want to start on a birth control again after I get through? I frowned.
"What would I need that for?" I sighed.
"You've started being sexually active again, so I just assumed that was why you were here." I looked at her and raised a brow.
"Dr. Sable. I am not sexually active." She turned and smiled.
"You know it's okay Olivia. I'm not your mother and your twenty one."
"But, I haven't had sex. Not that I know of. Not awake anyway." I added mumbling.
"Listen." She turned and saw my expression was honest. She frowned. "Olivia there is vaginal tearing I can see. Now there are ways that can happen. Riding horses can do it sometimes. Or an accident where you hit yourself in that general area. But, six months ago you were not sexually active." She crossed her arms. "Have you been out anywhere, someone could have given you a roofie."
"I had a party at my mom's but, she sure as hell wouldn't have drugged me. I woke up alone but, there was blood on the bed and I sure as hell was sore. I even dreamed." I frowned.
"You dreamed what?"
"Well I dreamed that I had sex."
"Do you do that often?" I sighed.
"Never before." I sighed.
"Could it have been rape."
"Oh no I was very willing." I sagged. "But, it wasn't real it couldn't have been. Surely real sex isn't that good."
She raised a brow as I debated with myself.
"I just don't understand."
"What makes you think it was a dream. Couldn't it be possible that you had too much to drink." I nodded.
"I'd definitely had too much to drink it's not the act that's impossible I guess but the man was definitely not possible." I frowned. "Maybe I had an accident that night and I just didn't know it we have horses. I sure don't remember riding one. She nodded and turned back to the slides. She took a deep breath.
"It wasn't an accident Olivia." The doctor was very still. Her words were soft.
"What how do you know?"
"You're pregnant."
"What?" I just looked at her. "You must have done it wrong."
"No Liv I didn't." I walked over and looked at the slide. I frowned.
"I'm pregnant." My head was shaking with my confusion. "I just don't get it." She talked to me about planned parenthood and prenatal vitamins if I wanted to keep it. I just listened and tried to figure out what the hell had happened.
I just kept looking in the mirror to see if I looked different. I got an apartment close to the lab and I never drank again. Nothing happened, no dreams, nothing. In fact my life was resorted to going to work and coming home. I finally decided I would try to go out on a date; one of my coworkers asked me out and I said yes he was cute and a nice guy and you can't put your heart into a dream no matter how real it was or that it somehow made you pregnant. I tried to write it off but that of course was impossible. I definitely had proof that my dream was more than a dream. I finally decided that one of the people at the party must have had a friend and I hooked up with him after Joey left but, it had been so good I had somehow rationalized it as a dream. It was the best I could do. I was now two months pregnant.
Brice picked me up at my apartment and we went to have drinks. He was nice. He danced with me and he told me I was beautiful. He was a great guy.
He was boring. He kissed me and I felt nothing. I tried to tell myself I was being stupid and I needed to focus on what was real. But, when he dropped me off I had already almost forgotten him. I kept thinking about doing all the same things eating dinner, dancing with the man in my dream. I just couldn't stop thinking about him. I got to my bed and I was so tired I just decided to lay down for a minute then I would get undressed.
I looked around in the dark. I couldn't stop my heart from jumping. "I'm here again."
"Yes you are," That voice. I trembled just hearing it. His hands slid around my waist. "This dress is beautiful." He kissed my ear and swayed back and forth. I sighed and laid my head back.
"I must have been so tired I didn't even get undressed. I had a date tonight." He went rigid.
"Oh and, how did that go?" I closed my eyes and smiled.
"I have no clue; I couldn't stop thinking about you long enough to pay attention to a damn thing he said." I laughed softly. His hands eased and his lips returned to my throat.
I knew damn good and well there was no one in my apartment. "I don't understand what's happening to us." I smiled a little and then I frowned. "I'm pregnant."
"Oh well that's nice isn't it. I guess if you have a man then even if not the one you went out with. I shouldn't be touching you like this." His other hand had been sliding up my ribs. He stopped and sighed. I sucked in a breath as I looked back in his eyes. I gathered courage.
"I don't have a man." I just watched him. "This isn't a dream."
"It has to be." He frowned. His fingers sliding over my skin. I rolled into his touch. I don't know why I didn't stop him there was something wrong wasn't there. But, his touch felt right.
"If it isn't a dream then someone attacked me and raped me because I'm pregnant and I don't remember anyone touching me but, you." He met my eyes. His hands hesitated.
"That isn't possible." He searched them and saw the honesty. "You are a dream you have to be." He pulled at my night gown. This time we were actually in a bed but, it wasn't mine. "If you aren't then I made love to you and it is my child you carry." I nodded.
"I know." I touched his face. "We should be frightened and appalled. Don't you think?" He frowned. It was the first time I had ever seen anything other than sorrow on his face and want. His expression was nothing I had ever seen before. He looked angry and happy at the same time. His eyes closed. I reached up and touched his face. "I'm sorry." I whispered. He shook his head and kissed my fingers.
"I'm not." He smiled sadly and opened his eyes. "All I can think of, is that you're mine and so is this baby." His hands swept over my stomach. "And that I want you more than I have ever wanted or needed a woman." He touched me deeply. "I have never known anyone so passionate." He slid his hand over me. I closed my eyes.
"I am pregnant." I whispered.
"It's mine then." He moved faster and I lost all coherent thought. Everything culminated and I froze and shook in his arms. He hovered over me but, I smiled. "No." I shook my head slowly. I looked at him shyly. I leaned up and pushed him gently down on his back. He wouldn't have gone if he didn't want to there is no way I could force him to do anything. I moved down his body slowly kissing as I went. I wanted to touch him, as he had not let me before. I pressed a kiss to him unsure; this was not something I had ever done but, I wanted this I had thought of exactly what I wanted to do. He groaned and I felt his hands in my hair.
I continued until he pulled me away. I was gasping when I hit my back. He slammed our bodies together. He didn't speak. He just watched my eyes his filled with more sorrow than I could even imagine. He closed them to keep me from seeing the pain. What made him so sad? He pulled me into his arms, his fingers clenched and he snarled my name.
I loved that sound more than anything I had ever heard. He kissed my ear and lay beside me. I turned and laid my head on his chest so I could look at him. "What do you do I don't even know your name." I smiled ruefully. "You didn't want me to know but, with the strange things happening I think I should know."
"My name is Itachi. I don't think it will mean anything to you." He placed a kiss on my brow. "I don't think your from my world." He sighed. "I can't imagine how this happened."
"Actually it's fairly simple if you consider that the universe is infinite. Things in the world don't make sense all the time. What makes you think I'm not from your world?"
"I can feel it. I don't know how to explain it except to show you something." He sighed. "I don't even understand why we are being allowed to continue the dream this time."
"What happened the last time was I got woken up." I sighed. "The time before I suppose it would be you. But, it's Saturday for me so I don't have to wake up."
"I am at loose ends today as well." He sighed.
"I don't want to wake up." I kissed him softly. "I don't really know what to do."
"I hate that you are doing this at all. I should not have taken you to my bed." I laughed softly. The sorrow was back in his eyes.
"We thought we were dreaming." I shrugged. "I knew this felt too real. The funny thing is I'm not questioning it. I don't know why."
"Because it feels right." He whispered. "I feel it too and I should not feel that way about anything like this."
"What do you mean? I've seen the sadness in you and the pain even when you are making love to me you look almost distraught." He looked away and took a deep breath.
"Tell me what do you do in your world?" He avoided my question.
"I am a scientist. I study biological ways to make our planet safer to live in." He nodded.
"So you are a healer you simply heal the earth instead of people." I nodded.
"Something like that. I like the way that sounds better than lab tech." He slid my hair behind my ear. "What do you do?"
"I wait." He said softly.
"For?" He sighed.
"I wait for my mission to be over. I don't want to talk about it I'm sorry but, you would not want to hear it." He sighed and kissed me. "It is not a happy tale and, I don't want to mar this miracle with pain."
It would hurt him if I kept trying to get him to talk and I didn't want to ever cause him pain. I could see that he had enough already. "Okay I won't ask." I slid my hand over his face. "I don't know what to tell anyone." I frowned. "My mother is going to think Joey did it."
"The ex boyfriend. Perhaps that would be best." I rolled my eyes. "Yeah except I haven't slept with him in over a year." He frowned.
"Well this is very complicated." He sighed and fell back. "I can feel my body stirring." He moaned. "I don't want to wake but, I feel something. His lips found mine and he kissed me deeply." I whimpered and cradled his face then he was gone. I blinked a few times and realized I was awake.
"Damn." I sighed.
I wasn't sure what to do. I got to work and sighed. "What's the matter hot stuff."
"I'm pregnant." Jessica had become my friend almost right away and I felt okay telling her it wasn't as I could hide it forever anyway.
"Do you want it?" I frowned what did she mean by that? "I mean if you want it great but, if you don't I would just end it before it gets any worse." I had never even contemplated killing the baby.
"Never crossed my mind." I frowned. "I would never take the life of an innocent child even if I didn't want the baby Jess." She shrugged.
"I was merely making the suggestion." I sighed.
"I know it just wasn't what I expected."
"Well honestly Liv you should know by now how that happens."
"Very funny."
"Practice safe sex." I laughed. How could you get any safer than a dream right. What a joke. It was unexpected but, I couldn't bring myself to dislike the idea. Even though I didn't understand what was happening or how I certainly wasn't going to try to say I didn't like it. Every time he touched me it was like I'd been set on fire. I needed to tell Mom. That wasn't going to be much fun though. I sighed.
