Sarah looked up B.E.N. and smiled.

"You're right."

She went up to Silver's room, quietly went in, and shut the door behind her.

The room was dark with only a lit candle on the nightstand. When Sarah looked up the sight she saw broke her heart.

Silver lay on his bed, not moving, his chest slowly rising and falling, there was soft wheezing sound as he breathed, his face was deathly pale, his eyes vlosed, Morph lay curled up just below his neck, and Jim sat a chair next to the bed, his head hanging low.

"Jim." Sarah said softly.

Jim glared at her when he saw her.

"What do you want?" he asked bitterly.

Sarah came over, coming into the light of the candle so Jim could see her much better, and Jim's bitterness disappeared.

His mother's face was pale, and her eyes were filled with hurt, regret, pain, and tears.

"I know what I said to him was wrong. I just wish I could tell him how I really feel."

"You can. I've been talking to him for a while. He could hear me because he'd twitch his finger to let me know he was listening."

Sarah came a little closer to the bed.

"Silver, you awake?" Jim asked loud enough for the cyborg to hear since they had been talking quietly so he wouldn't hear.

Silver's hand twitched in answer.

Jim looked at his mother and nodded once.

"Silver."

Silver's hand became a fist at the sound of her voice.

"Silver, I'm sorry for what I said and how I acted. I didn't mean it, I was just scared you'd leave me like Leland did."

She came a little closer and touched his hand. At her gentle touch his hand slowly uncurled.

"I love you."

Jim smiled. Then he noticed something his mother didn't. Silver's eyes were twitching like he was trying to open them.

"I love you more than I ever loved Leland."

Somehow, her words gave Silver strength, for his eyes slowly fluttered open. He looked down at her, her hands on his good hand, her head down, and gave a small smile. Since he didn't have the strength to speak, he slowly turned his hand and gently closed his fingers around her dainty hands.

He glanced over at Jim, who was smiling at him. Then he felt a tear hit his hand.

"I'm so sorry, Silver. Can you ever forgive me?"

"I already have."

Nobody knows where Silver got the strength to speak right then.

Sarah looked up in shock and gasped softly when she saw that he was awake and looking at her. She moved closer to his head.

Jim moved out of the way and gently scooped Morph up from his place.

"Silver, I..."

Silver, as his strength somehow starting to be renewed, stopped her by putting his metal finger to her lips.

"Shhh. I've already forgiven you. I heard every word you said to me."

Sarah smiled at his, though tears were filling her eyes. She quickly wiped them away. Then she did something Silver and Jim hadn't been expecting.

She leaned down and kissed him right on the lips!

Silver and Jim's eyes widened. Then Silver closed his eyes and kissed her back.

Jim smiled and silently left the room so they could be alone.
