I promise this is the last chapter before Alicia wakes up. If you are still with me, reading this, hold on a little longer. R&R!


Alicia woke up to what she thought would be one of the last times. She was coming closer, in time, to the present day. She wondered how many more missed opportunities could they have had? How much 'bad timing' moments were left?

This time Alicia saw her other self standing in front of her old house wondering if she should go back in or leave. At the time, the thought of going over to Will's had only briefly crossed her mind, it hadn't been a real option. Since the break up and his suspension, they had grown apart and hadn't been speaking much. That was one of the reasons why she missed him so much, but could not tell him that. She was still married, he was still her boss and it was still all too complicated. That was one thing that had never changed. In the vision, though, Alicia took a bold attitude and drove to Will's apartment. While riding up the elevator, present Alicia could see how nervous vision Alicia was. What if he is there with Callie? What if he has moved on? What if he thinks it's too complicated? She heard vision Alicia thinking out loud. No, our entire relationship is based on what ifs. I want to be certain. The time and distance between the elevator and Will's door felt so long and present Alicia watched nervously as the other Alicia rang Will's doorbell.

He came to the door looking like he was alone and there was no female voice to be heard. He looked surprised to see Alicia there and she froze on the spot, and present Alicia guessed that vision Alicia hadn't thought about what to say to him, after spending so much time pondering what she was about to do.

"I miss you." The truth popped out after a moment of silence.

A few seconds that felt like an hour passed and that made Alicia go crazy with expectation. Will's mind (and maybe his heart) was obviously processing her words, looking into her soft eyes to make sure she was actually real, there and saying those words he had hoped he would hear.

Once he was sure he took a step forward, placing one hand on her waist and the other one on her cheek really gently.

"I miss you too." He answered honestly and sweetly before she kissed him. The scene faded softly to black before present Alicia's eyes, who was longing terribly for a moment like that.

….

Alicia saw her apartment and Will sitting on the couch reading the paper. No sign of herself or the kids. Then, present Alicia could hear the front door open, but instead of vision Alicia, who she'd been expecting to see, she saw Jackie.

"Who are you?" The old woman said with disgust in her voice.

"I'm Will Gardner, ma'am. I believe you're Mrs. Florrick, am I right?"

Not bothering to answer, Jackie continued playing 20 questions:

"What are you doing here?" Apparently the name Will Gardner had ringed a bell.

On cue once again, like with Will's sisters, the front door opened and vision Alicia came in.

"Will, I'm back." She froze at the sight of Jackie in her living room with Will. "Jackie, what are you doing here?"

"I was asking him the same thing." She answered spitefully.

"He was waiting for me. You, on the other hand, I don't know why you're here." Vision Alicia said curtly, but with a hint of anger.

"I was bringing these gifts I bought for the kids." Jackie snapped back.

"You can give them when they visit you." Alicia said with her best controlled tone. "How do you even have a key?"

"But I already brought them."

"How do you have a key?" Alicia asked again struggling to maintain her calm.

"Peter gave me his."

"No he didn't. How do you have a key?" Present Alicia was amazed at how her vision self was able to keep her cool with her mother-in-law, well, ex-mother-in-law.

"I took it this morning. I wanted to bring the gifts." Jackie admitted, her strong face weakening under Alicia's challenging look.

"Again, Jackie you can give them when they visit you. And again, before you come here, you call, you don't steal Peter's key." Alicia replied frostily.

"I didn't steal it! And you don't want me coming here so you can bring men over? That's the example you want to give your children?"

"Goodbye, Jackie." Alicia said escorting Jackie to the door.

"You left my son for this?" Jackie shot an angry glare at Will. "Is this what you're replacing my son with?"

"Goodbye, Jackie." Alicia said closing the door on Jackie's face.

Vision Alicia looked tired out by the confrontation and relieved that her former mother-in-law left.

"Wow, she is really something, huh?" Will said.

"I'm so sorry, Will. You shouldn't have to put up with all this." She said placing both hands on his cheeks.

"It's ok; it was a real ego boost." He said laughing and then kissed her. "Hi, I didn't have a proper greeting. So, should I be jealous of all the other men?"

She shoved his arm a little, laughing too. "No, they're just for fun, nothing serious."

….

The fast forward slowed down to the sight of Will's apartment and movie Alicia in the kitchen. Will was - only to be heard coughing in the bedroom. It being a rather violent cough, vision Alicia rushed to check up on him. Present Alicia was shocked at how bad he looked. It worried her. Could it be more than a cold?

"Hey, Will, sit up. It's better for the cough." She advised and then helped him.

When he was finally able to stop coughing, he said in a faint voice, nothing like himself:

"Thank you. For taking care of me. I'm sorry for interfere with your visit to Grace in college." He answered only with a smile.

"Hey, it's ok. I can always go next weekend. She also said for you to get well soon."

Ok, so this wasn't a long time illness. It must be just a hell of a cold.

"Are you feeling any better?" Movie Alicia asked still worried.

Will shook his head and laid down again. Alicia, who was sitting on the chair beside the bed, started striking one hand through Will's hair, while the other one hold his hand. It was a weird vision for present Alicia, seeing Will so fragile. He was always strong, but she kind of liked seeing herself take care of him.

….

Life, her possible life continued passing before her as a movie. The usual scenes came up and she went without it ever slowing down until she was old again.

….

The scene that cleared before present Alicia was of her older self sitting next to an old Will on a bench in a park somewhere. They were holding hands like those sweet old couples present Alicia used to see when she took little Zach and Grace to the park. Conversation started to be clear to present Alicia's ears.

"I don't say this enough, but thank you for waiting for me; for not giving up." She heard vision Alicia say.

"Never. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't. I knew we would eventually have good timing."

That put a smile on present Alicia's face before everything blacked out. Hopefully for the last time.
