Waking Nightmares
Gillian relaxed the moment her head hit the pillow. She had the strangest feeling she had been in Cal's bedroom before. Smiling slightly she decided not to question anything else, just enjoy lying in a nice, comfortable warm bed next to a man that clearly loved her as much as she loved him. She sighed heavily as she felt him get into bed behind her and pull her into his arms.
"You ok?" Cal asked as she rested her head on his chest.
"I am begining to get tired of people asking me that" She closed her eyes as she felt him run his fingers through her hair.
"Sorry" His fingers stilled as he closed his eyes.
"And I am getting tired of hearing you say that" She smiled as he sighed.
"Gill" Cal paused as he wondered whether he was about to ruin everything. It hadn't been that long since she had threatend to leave the business. It really hadn't been that long since she threatened to sell her shares in the company and get as far away from him as she could.
"Yeah?"
"What happened? When you left the room with Lloyd. What happened?"
"I told you, I have no memory of it" Gillian bit her bottom lip.
"See, I think you do. You just don't think you do" Cal felt her tense in his arms.
"Cal, why would I lie? Why would I tell you I don't remember something when I do?" Gillian was angry. He thinks I'm holding out on him, he thinks I remember. She sat up and stared at him. Cal sat and took her hand in his.
"No" He tilted her face to look at him. "No I don't think you are lying. Listen to me Gill, I think whatever happened is someting you can't remember because your mind had shut it out. It's too bad. I just want you to know when bits and pieces begin to filter through you can tell me yeah. Whatever it is you can tell me" Gillian closed her eyes and nodded as she let him pull her back into his arms.
"I know" She sighed "I know"

Emily hadn't been asleep for long. Physically she was drained. The whole day had been one of the weirdest, most surreal and frightening experiences of her life. She lay in bed staring at the ceiling as she wondered what had actually happened. I was there. I was there the whole time but I only know what happened with my Dad and I. I have no idea what happened to Heidi, Ria and Torres. I have no idea why Gillian walked out of the office with the skiny guy when he wanted to take me. Why hadn't he killed her? I really thought he had killed her. I heard the gunshot. I saw the way Dad reacted. Eli too. They both thought she was dead. Emily closed her eyes as she remembered Gillian touch her hand and tell her it was all going to be ok, that she was to stop worrying. Then all she could remember was seeing the way her Dad reacted when they heard Gillian scream and the sound of a gunshot and breaking glass.
"Ok I know we are all alive" Emily whispered in to the dark "I know Dad and I were threatened, but why did they even come to the Lightman Group? What was it all about?" The teenager knew sleep was going to be very hard to achieve when there were still so many questions rolling around in her head.

Eli drank the hot chocolate Ria had made him as he stared out of the window. The stitches in his back ached and he was beginning to regret refusing the analgesia at the ER. He smiled slightly as Ria joined him at the window.
"Hey"
"Hey yourself" Ria smiled slightly "You can't sleep either?"
"No" Eli shook his head as his dark curls fell in front of his face. "Too many loose ends. I know Lightman knew these idiots. I know we only got out of there because the other guy seemed genuinely shocked that the skinny guy had taken Gillian, and threatened Emily before that"
"Yeah" Ria agreed "He really didn't think that would happen. I read the surprise on his face"
"But I need to know why and how Gillian is alive. What happened to Emily and Lightman and do we still have jobs? Are these people coming back to finish what they started and how long are we going to have to spend looking over our shoulders?" He turned to face her as Ria nodded. She glanced over the top of her mug.
"I know what you are saying but think about it. Ben has these guys locked up. At least for now it's over." She placed her mug on the table before taking Eli's hands in her own. "What I know is that right now. Right at this moment you need to rest and so do I" She pulled slightly on his hands as he smiled.
"You trying to seduce me Ria Torres?" Ria smirked as she met his eyes.
"Trying?" She watched as he pushed himself away from the wall and let her lead him to the bedroom.

Cal's eyes snapped open as he heard Gillian crying. Her arms were wrapped around her abdomen as she mumbled in her sleep. He brushed her hair our of her face as she continued mumbling incoherant words. Hardly anything she said made sense. Just the odd word. Cal shook her shoulder gently.
"No" Gillian gasped as she turned her face away "Emily"
"Gillian wake up love"
"My baby" She rested a hand on her abdomen as Cal froze. His breathing seemed to speed up dangerously fast as he heard her whisper the words again. Shaking himself he kissed her forehead.
"Wake up Gillian, come on" He smiled slightly as she opened her eyes.
"I"
"You were having a nightmare" Cal explained as he stared into her eyes.
"Ok"
"Are you ok? Did you remember anything?"
She shook her head slightly as she began sobbing. Cal pulled her into his arms. He had to know. He just had to know. Half of him was afraid to ask.
"Gillian?" He kissed her hair as she pulled back from him. "You trust me yeah?"
"Apart from with the company's money" She smiled slightly as Cal rolled his eyes.
"Oh you remember that? Typical" He smiled back at her.
"Mm"
"Yeah well" Cal took a deep breath. "You mentioned something about a baby, when you were having your nightmare. I wondered if that was what you told Lloyd. You know, to play on his non existant human decency"
"I" Gillian took a shaky breath.
"Are you?" Cal was unsure of what she was going to answer. He had never been able to read her. She was the one person that was truly his blind spot.
"Am I what?" Gillian felt him hug her a little tighter.
"Pregnant. Are you pregnant?" Cal held his breath as he felt her shift in his arms so she could look him in the eye once more.
"Cal, at the hospital they told me" She couldn't look away from him as she spoke. "At the hospital the doctors told me"
"Told you what Gill? Tell me" Cal felt the familiar sense of fear creep up on him.
"Cal"
