Okay, I said that I would update today so I will. Here you go!!! (Wow, this is about the minimum I ever say in my A/N's lol)

Wanda POV

Time seemed to pass unevenly for me in the caves. The past few days, or maybe weeks, had been uneventful and filled with sorrow. To be honest I had no idea how long it had been since he had been taken from me and I didn't really care. I just wanted him back in my arms but it didn't seem like that was going to happen any time soon.

I had no idea what was going on outside of my room because I never left it except for those hygiene issues I couldn't ignore. Melanie would bring food for two and we would eat in silence. Sometimes it was Jamie or maybe Jeb. Sometimes Sunny would tag along with one of them but each time, we never talked. I think they were too afraid that I might crack again. I was afraid of that too.

Melanie and I still hadn't told anyone about the baby growing inside of me but I think she might have mentioned it to Jared maybe. I didn't care what anyone thought so she could tell them if she wanted. I loved my baby. It was all that I had left of Ian and it was a part of me too. I promised that I wouldn't let anything happen to it but then realized that that was what Ian had promised me. I knew that technically nothing had harmed me but inside I was broken beyond repair.

Today was no different than any other day really. I got up after hours of sleeping and stood in front of the cracked mirror that Ian had placed in our room a while ago. I turned to the side examining the small bump that had formed on my stomach. I cracked a small smile at knowing that my baby was growing. I immediately felt guilty for not eating enough or getting out anymore because what if it affected my baby's health? I had to stop moping because I could tell that I was hurting everyone around me including those inside of me.

It seemed that it was the late evening judging by the darkened sky that was just visible from the cracks in the ceiling. My sleeping schedule had become practically reversed...

I sighed as I pulled on a t-shirt and shorts than stood at my door way. I was contemplating if I was ready or not for everyone's reaction to everything. I wonder if they had already gotten over it; I mean, it had obviously been a while since the incident.

You're being silly, Wanda. Just go and get out for a bit. A voice in my head said and I gasped. I would know that voice anywhere.

It was Ian's.

"But…I don't want to go anywhere without you." I replied and laughed mentally at myself.

You won't have to for long. I will come back to you though Wanda. I will come back for you and the baby.

"Promise?"

Promise.

"I love you."

I love you too. More than you'll ever know.

I smiled and began to make my way towards the kitchen. He's coming back, he's coming back, he's coming back....I chanted those words in my head the whole way there to keep me from turning and running back to my room. Once I got there I did feel like running back the way I had come.

Almost every head in the room turned to look my way and I was bombarded with questions. It was almost too much for me but I remembered that I wasn't going to be weak.

"Wanda!"

"Wanda, are you okay?"

"Wanda, you're back!"

I heard multiple surprised greetings from around the room. Then I felt myself being crushed in one of Jamie's bear hugs. It was weird being in someones arms after what had happened. It wasn't his but it was....comforting. Except the fact that I was suffocating.

"Can't…..breathe…..Jamie…" I managed to choke out.

"JAMIE!! Put her down now, she's fragile." I heard Melanie say sternly and I was immediately released but he kept hold of my hand. That was good; I needed someone to hold on to me so I wouldn't drift away. Wait, what was I talking about? Of course I wouldn't drift away. I was strong now or at least trying to be. It was funny what his voice could do to me. It was literally funny because I kept letting out hysterical giggles each time I thought of Ian.

"So Wanda, what brings you back here?" Jared asked as he came and took a seat next to Mel. He began shoveling spoonfuls of tomato soup into his mouth and I laughed. A real genuine but hysterical laugh.

I didn't think they realized that even though I was trying to be strong, the thought of Ian coming back kept me on the edge of hysteria. I had already been so close to breaking again because the peices wouldn't stay together. They just kept falling apart every time I tried to tape them together. that is until Ian's voice showed me where the super glue was. Being put back together again that fast was kind of mind-wracking. You had to get use to it and I sure wasn't. I was losing my mind instead.

"Stop being such a pig, Jared. And chew with your mouth closed. No one wants to see what's in there." This only mad me laugh harder and I soon realize that the whole table had gone silent. I stopped and looked at each of them but I noticed that they were all staring back at me with wonder apparent in their features.

"What?" I asked defensively.

"You haven't laughed in forever Wanda. It's been a month already." I heard Jamie say and my smile faltered. No, I told myself. I wasn't going to do this. I was going to stay strong, for Ian. He promised he would come back and somehow I knew he would.

"Oh," Was all I had to say but it was then that Kyle appeared at the entrance with two small girls clinging to each of his arms. I noticed that one of the girls was Sunny, whose eyes were red and puffy like she had been crying. The other girl must have been Julie, I remembered her from that fateful night. Her long black hair was tangled and sticking out in odd places as if she had just woken up. Her eyes were wide but I noticed how they were that brilliant shade of blue that both Ian and Kyle shared. But there was something off about her eyes. I then noticed the line of silver that reflected off of the lights in the room and I gasped.

"She-she's not human?" I asked blankly.

"No, but the same thing happened as with Jodi." Jared explained quickly. "They took the soul out but after a while, she wasn't getting the food she needs so they put the soul back in. Her name is Moon Song I think. Apparently, she gets signs that Julie is there but just not awake, you know? She's like sleeping or something."

I nodded as Kyle spotted us with tired eyes and began to walk over. When he noticed me did a double take.

"Wanda?"

"Um, yeah?" I asked my voice still sounding kind of dead.

"Since when did you come back out?" He asked quietly as he sat down and Julie and Sunny followed suit.

"Since, this morning." I said and I took a glance at Moon Song but Kyle noticed.

"Oh, I guess you two haven't officially met huh? Well, Wanda this is Jul- Moon Song and Moon Song this is Wanda." He said warily and I then realized that he was just as broken as I was inside. He had lost his brother after all.

"Hi," I said trying to sound cheerful. I plastered a grin on my face but I was sure I just looked like some slap-happy idiot.

She looked up at me before smiling and showing off her dimples. "Hi," She said quietly but seemingly relieved somehow.

"So this is your famous little sister, huh?" I asked Kyle. I saw both of them flinch.

"Um, well, the body is I guess but not…." He trailed off as he noticed Julie stand up brusquely ad turn to leave. I immediately felt guilty for bringing it up. She was walking away quickly with her lips pursed into a hard line as if fighting back tears.

"I, um, I-I'll see you g-guy's later then, i guess..." She called brokenly as she left.

"Ju- Moon Song, Wait!" I heard Kyle say as he got up to follow her but Melanie put a hand on his shoulder.

"She needs time alone." She whispered and he slowly sat back down.

"Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring it up and all….." I said not able to finish my sentence for some reason.

"No, no it's not your fault. It's just that how would you feel if everyone you ever cared about was taken away from you. It's hard to deal with, especially if they are right back in front of you but it's someone else inside of their heads. Its someone else's emotions. Someone else's words coming out of their mouth." He said angrily but that anger quickly turned to regret as he saw Sunny's expression.

"I-I-I didn't mean t-to take her away…." I saw the tears start to fall down her cheeks and she let out a sob. Kyle turned to comfort her but she jumped up and ran from the room.

"Damn it!" Kyle yelled angrily. "First your sister and now Sunny. Nice going. Hey, you still have time to ruin someone else's day of you want." He was talking to himself but I wasn't about to call him crazy seeing as how insane I was.

"Kyle-"I started but he interrupted me.

"Don't. Just….forget this ever happened. Okay?" He said and got up to follow Sunny and Julie.

After that scene, everyone seemed to drift out of the room until it was just me, Jared, Melanie, and Jamie.

"Well, I'm going to go back to my…uh, cave I guess." I said awkwardly as I got up and hurried to the door. I had this stupid idea that when I got back to my cave that maybe he would talk to me again. Plus I was excited to fall asleep because Ian was always in my dreams.

I bathed and changed in the washroom quickly before I retired to my room for good. I climbed under the sheet and pulled it up to my chin. I still had one of Ian's shirts as a pillow case though.

I fell asleep quickly and of course at first my dreams started out useless and random. There was one about tornadoes and grapefruits but it made no sense. Then it changed to my room and I was looking at the most beautiful face I had ever seen. Ian's.

"Hi Wanda." He said in his deep voice and I looked into his blue eyes as I replied.

"Ian! You came back for me-"I stopped short as I noticed something different about his eyes.

There was a hint of silver behind them and I realized what this meant. This wasn't Ian. It was a soul.

I screamed. But sadly, I honestly couldn't tell if I was still dreaming or not.

A/N: There you go. I hope it satisfied you! Well, please review as always!! R&R!!!
