A/N: Thanks patient readers! I'm sorry it took such a long time to update
but if you're unaware I've been working on two other stories as well. Sorry
about the delay.

Kal-Torak: Hehehe! I like to leave evil cliffhangers, though I have done a lot less recently. Perhaps I'm losing my touch? Thanks for the nice review. Twists, I also enjoy. *evil laughing*
Angel-Of-Lightness: We'll change that purpleness as soon as we have the chance. Glad you anchored yourself back up onto the world, a big part of it would be missing without you! Sheepish? You want to eat grass and grow wool? Strange. I know you'll save him, just not today.
Argh: I'm pretty sure this was me... *looks ashamed* I can't remember. Cliffhangers are for enjoyment. It's called being a sadist!
April: I've always liked the name April. That's what I'm going to call my first-born daughter... anyway, back to the review, thanks for it! And yes, Neo crying is rather annoying, ask Trinity. That just puts you off!
Geekgurl: I try not to panic but it just happens. I thought Neo having a seizure would be a good cliffhanger, which turned out, it was! Heheheh, continue reading if you want to know what happens to Trinity. Thanks for the really nice review!
Blaze: Yes, thank you. I am writing more of it.... Shame it took me over 3 months to get my head around it. I like cliffhangers, they grant suspense. Thank you for the review.
Angelina: I don't think I could've made the beginning move slower, anyway, people fall asleep if stories go to slow. Define sense? It's called a cliffhanger! They grant suspense and further reading. Enjoy.
u dnt know my name: It was the shock. He recalled the incident by the sound of the crash, and since he didn't know how to handle it, he went into a seizure.
he who shall exploit non profit organisations so as to make himself seem taller. no doubt someone thinks i'm telling the truth: I do think you are telling the truth. You and the keyboard..... yes hopefully, unless you actually like the voices in your head. Oh wait, you don't. They tend to argue with you? Mine too. I end up hitting myself because I'm disagreeing with everything I say. I like the London underground.... I saw a bum there on the way to the 'Star trek' convention. It was weird. I also remember something about 'Jawbreakers' when I was about 7. Strange. If it burns, run outside. There's plenty of snow coming down, shame it wont stick. The conversations that you have with your inner voices must be very exquisite Richard, since they wish to kill me and Naz that is. Thanks for the review.
Eohthen: Thanks for the review. I apologise for your reply being the smallest, but you didn't quite give me enough to build on. Consider yourself the lucky one; you had to wait the shortest amount of time for the update!

Neo awoke several hours later. He was no longer in the infirmary. Neo sat on his bed, inside his room. He could see some small lights where candles had been lit, and it no longer hurt to open his eyes. Though, his eyesight was far from perfect, he could still see enough to know he wasn't alone. Neo sat up and swung his feet around to hang off the bed. The other person was sleeping. Neo heard something that sounded like a person waking up. Sure enough, he was correct. The person arouse from their seat and sat next to Neo, causing the bed to squeak a little.
"She's never coming back, is she?" Sniffed Neo, now realising the truth.
"No, I'm afraid not," it was Naz, "but," she continued, "there was something interesting when we examined her body."
"What?" Shocked Neo.
"Um... it turns out that, um.... Trinity was pregnant!" Replied Naz, heart sinking when having to see Neo's face when he heard the news. Neo's head slumped against Naz's shoulder and he let out a massive sob.
"Why?" He asked, just as Smith had done before him. "Why'd she have to come? She could've just stayed here and enjoyed life, but no, she had to come with me. Did she even know she was pregnant?"
"Well, it was completely off record, that's why we couldn't have kept her here, but someone did attend to her. They told us everything after she realised what had happened." Naz was uneasy.
"Who?" Neo pleaded.
"Me." Naz said quietly. Before Neo could retaliate, Naz continued, "But, you see, she told me not to tell anybody. She didn't want anyone to know in case she wouldn't be allowed back out on the ship. I really couldn't tell anyone, even though I really wanted to! She entrusted in me! I wasn't going to let her down." Naz sighed as Neo slowly backed away from her. "If the foetus was still there, I wouldn't have told anyone-"
"What?" Started Neo, "What do you mean? 'If the foetus was still there'?" Neo mimicked.
"Oh god! I said it wrong! Well, now that I have to explain myself I will. The baby was gone. There was nothing there." Stammered Naz.
"What? A miscarriage?" Questioned Neo. Naz shook her head and stood up, causing the bed to squeak once more.
"Nope. There were no signs of miscarriage or premature birth." Guaranteed Naz. "The only probability was that it was removed, and if so, it defiantly wasn't done here." Neo got up, and sighed, wiping tears away from his face.
"My eyes no longer hurt, and I can feel the burns healing. Thank you for your help." Neo thanked. Unaware, Naz was suddenly, roughly pushed back against the door of the small room, causing a loud clunking sound to echo. Naz gave a small yelp. "And thank you, thank you for keeping her secret."
"Aaah! You hurt my back! It's what I'm hear to do." Naz replied in dissatisfaction to her pain. Neo threw her onto the bed.
"You're in my way." He assured. He opened the large door. As he was heading out Naz called to him.
"You'll need this!" She said, throwing a light metal pole to him. He caught it and headed out.

My god! The replies took long to write! Longer than the story I think. But I will still reply to them all, because I'm stubborn and awkward. I've been thinking of a way to build up to this climax. Very hard thing to do. Takes a simple mind, ooh lets say, 3 Months to figure out! Look for updates. I'm everywhere!
