DISCLAIMER: DO NOT DESERVE TO OWN!

I… had notes for this chapter, then I went to school and I had left them on the table, then my dad was cleaning the house, then he threw them away! And the garbage people were already here, so I lost like…5 pages of notes and ideas for this chapter! GRRR! But, to be fair…I probably shouldn't have left them out. But still GRRRR!

The car ride was quiet. Occasionally interrupted by the sniffles of the girl...in fact the ride was so quiet, Ivan forgot she was in the car unless she made the small noise. She still had tears rolling down her cheeks. She clutched an end of her pink scarf tightly and avoided looking Ivan in the eyes. Ivan felt a little weird with this little girl in his car, but…he was sure she felt the same. "…Do you want me to walk you to the door?" Ivan asked a little harshly. He took note of this. The girl flinched toward the door of the car and shook her head wildly.

"N-N-O! I-I-I c-can go by m-myself…" fresh tears rolled down her now pink face and she shook a little. Ivan felt a little bad for scaring her…but…he couldn't have been that intimidating…why did she react like she did?

Ivan pulled up In front of a large building. He blinked down at the sniffling girl in the passenger seat. "This is where you live, Da?" The girl nodded and slid the seat belt off. "..um…t-thank you." She still didn't look at Ivan. "No problem." He leaned over and opened the door for her. She slowly slid out of the car and walked up to the front doors. As she did so, Ivan noticed a sign he hadn't seen before. MARLEYS CHILDRENS HOME. Ivan was now confused. How had she gotten to the carnival? Unless it was a field trip of sorts. But…how could they leave her there? How would they just forget about her? He knew about this place. They were very strict with their children. Ivan sighed and drove away from the girls home.

Ivan walked down the street from The store, a plastic bag held tightly in one hand. He was suddenly pushed aside by small hands and blinked as he saw two small children running past him. One was a small girl and the other a boy. The girl looked back and she had tears in her eyes, and her face was red. "S-Sorry M-mister..!" she turned back and ,gripping the boys hand, sprinted across the street. With out looking.

CRASH

A car has swerved to avoid the children and hit a pole. But they kept running. Ivan felt utterly confused and watched as people ran to the wrecked car and pulling out their phones to call help. A man shoved past Ivan but didn't apologize. He was running the direction the children were. eventually caught both by the ear. The boy looked terrified, he couldn't see the girls face. The man immediately turned around and started walking back the direction he came. Both children shouting protests.

"Let me GO you son of a-"

The girl was cut off by a sharp pull at her ear. Ivan felt a little disturbed. Wasn't that the same girl he had seen earlier..? The man was fuming and he pushed past Ivan. Who looked down at the nearest child. The boy. He was terrified. The boy mouthed something to Ivan…but he had no idea what. Ivan shrugged it off and kept walking like nothing had happened. Despite the ambulance coming noisily down the street.

Ivans thoughts kept returning to the two children. Especially the girl…what had she said her name was…? Aurora? Yeah. That was it. He kept thinking she seemed familiar. He just couldn't put his finger on it. How had she gotten to the carnival? Was she brought there? Well…She said she had been left there. But…Why? And how? How could someone just forget they had a child with them? She had seemed so scarred going back to the children's home. And..who was the man that chased after them? Perhaps the caretaker? Ivan shook his head. It was too confusing. He hugged the stuffed bear he had won at the carnival and walked slowly to the hospital.

Matthew was still in his 'state'. He was still pale, his longer hair was painted over the pillow. The plastic mask still covering his beautiful mouth. He hadn't seemed to have moved at all. Ivan smiled sadly as he moved toward the bed. Four stuffed bears were at the bottom of the bed. Ivan put the newest addition in the middle.

"Matvey will have friends if im not here when he first wakes up, da?" Hw sat on the edge of the bed , near Matthews head and strung his fingers through the soft blonde hair. Ivan then proceeded to tell the unconscious man about his day, and what he had been doing for the past few weeks when he hadn't been with Matthew.

When Ivan left the room He had his back to Matthew. So he didn't see what had happened. Nor did he hear over the door closing behind him.

Ive been asleep for so long….it feels like…forever. I cant stand it! I wonder if Ivan is raising our child well..? I wonder if it was a boy..? Or a girl..? I honestly don't care. I hope hes happy with it. How old would it be now…?I don't have a clue. I just hope their happy. The child and Ivan. Matthew felt a surface beneath him sink a little. Like someone was sitting next to him. He felt something touch his head. His hair was being pulled lightly. He could see the silhouette of a large man. Ivan? Oh, Ivan! How are you? Matthew wanted to hug the Russian, unfortunately…he couldn't do anything at the moment.

After what seemed like only a few seconds the soft touch was gone and the silhouette disappeared. Then something happened that hadn't happened in a long time. His mouth twitched. He opened it slightly and his voice was barely audible. "Ivan…my Ivan…" His eyes opened a little wider and he was met with a dimly lit room. Everything slid in and out of focus and it was hard to move his eyes. Did…Did I wake up..? Am I really awake…?

Yes. Matthew was conscious.

THIS CHAPTER WAS HARD TO WRITE! I couldn't get in to the flow of it, so…it might be a little broken in some areas. Ehe. Im sorry it took me a little longer for this chapter, but…whatever. Omg…MATTIE ISAWAKE! -happy dance- and who is the little girl? And the little boy? -thinking face-
