Return To Me.
In Full Circle just before that Beltane Evening I've changed the series of events that follows... Morgan still believes that her dark heritage will still win out in her and leaves Widows Vale.
Nine years later she returns to her family and to Hunter but what awaits her back home?

The next morning when Morgan opened her eyes, she found herself gazing into the beautiful green eyes she loved so much, he smiled at her.
"I can't believe you're home," he said, his smile growing bigger, Morgan smiled and then she wore a sad look,
"I'm so sorry Hunter," she said,
"Morgan don't. I don't care that you left or what happened you're back now you're home and you're here with me," Morgan felt the warm salty tears rolling down her cheek,
"I know, but I also know what happened to you Hunter, Killian told me, I just, I can't believe I did that to you I'm so, so sorry, if anything had happened to you I would never have forgiven myself,"
"Ssh," Hunter soothed he pulled Morgan closer and rested his head on hers and stroked her hair lightly,
"It's okay Morgan you've made me stronger you're what kept me alive just the thought of you I love you and I don't hate you for what you did"
They lay there together on the bed in a loving embrace a comforting silence fell between them, until the disturbance.
"What the hell? Hunter?"
Hunter bolted upright and Morgan turned to face the intruder, it was a girl she looked about 25, had bright blue eyes that currently held a look of anger, she had a rosy complexion and curly red hair that touched her shoulders, she also noted a faint Irish accent which was now being smothered by an American accent
Morgan pulled the sheet up to her chest covering up what she didn't want to be seem.
"Maggie, Hi" Hunter said, he looked shocked and annoyed, embarrassed even, Maggie Dowells, Morgan thought, the new member in Kithic?
"What the hell is this?" she demanded,
Morgan finally figured the connection Hunter and Maggie must be an item, which also explained the look on Killian's face after he mentioned her last night and it would also explain Hunter's avoidance with the 'are you with somebody?' question.
Morgan picked up her jeans from the floor and slipped them on under the sheets and scrambled to get the rest of her clothing, "I'd better go," she said feeling awkward
"No you're not going anywhere," Maggie commanded then looked back at Hunter,
"Who is she?" she asked,
"Maggie, I swear nothing happened,"
"Yeah right," she laughed,
"Hunter I've looked after you, been with you nearly two years stuck by you while you went through your obsession to bring your bitch of ex-girlfriend back from god knows where when she was just so cruel to up and leave you any giving some stupid excuse I give and give Hunter, helped you through your pain and this is how you repay me?"
"Maggie, I-"
"No Hunter, stop making excuses, anyway that wasn't my question, who is she?"
Morgan rose to her feet, "Maggie, this is Morgan Rowlands,"
Suddenly Maggie's rosy face turned pale and her eyes widened and mouth dropped open, "You're Morgan?" it was a rhetorical question but Morgan nodded slowly,
Maggie slowly started backing away, "Maggie?" Hunter asked, but before he had chance to call her again she turned and ran down the hall, but then there was a scream and the sound of a tumble.
"Oh my god," Hunter cried, both he and Morgan ran to the top of the stairs and there was Maggie in a pile on the floor at the bottom,
Killian and Sky had come out of their rooms now and also saw Maggie on the floor, "Holy Crap!" Killian cried
"Killian call an ambulance," Sky ordered, Killian nodded and grabbed at the phone in his room. Sky, Hunter and Morgan went down the stairs and knelt beside Maggie,
"Maggie can you hear me?" Sky asked,
"Should we move her?" Hunter stammered,
Sky shook her head, "No it could make her worse, try and keep her talking to us until the Ambulance comes," "It's on it's way," Killian called coming down the stairs,
"What happened?" Killian asked, Sky looked at the pair, she had gathered the jist, Maggie must have seen Hunter with Morgan,
"She fell down the stairs," Hunter said touching Maggie's cheek, which even though Morgan understood she felt unbearably jealous and heartbroken, Hunter was with someone else?
Morgan had gone pale and her eyes had filled to the brim with tears, "This is my fault," she said, Killian helped Morgan to her feet and put an arm around her.
"Morgan you're a nurse you should know what to do can't you help her?" Hunter asked with pleading eyes,
Morgan's eyes were still wide from shock and she didn't hear what Hunter had asked of her.
"Morgan snap out of it!" Sky shouted, "Can you help or not?"
"I can try," she said quietly kneeling down, "Sky's right, we can't move her, it could make things worse"
Morgan formed a connection and sunk into Maggie's subconscious, she found the problem, she was bleeding internally and she felt a lot of her bones were broken,"
"Morgan she's bleeding heavily," she heard, she broke the connection, she saw blood coming from two places the back of her head and between her legs.
"Oh Goddess" Hunter breathed, "What's wrong did you fix it?" he asked,
Morgan shook her head, "Not yet, many of her bones are broken, her lung is punctured the bleeding is coming from her head its cracked open,"
"Where's that blood coming from then?" Killian asked pointing at her blood soaked jeans.
Morgan ignored the question, she knew the answer but she didn't want to say, she formed a connection again and patched together internal bleeding which was coming from the punctured lung and fixed a few of the bones and the skull, leaving the wound open though since the paramedics would be there in a second and would wonder why there was no wound on her head the carpet and her hair was thick with blood and the other damage, the one she couldn't bring herself to say, was unfixable.
Again she broke the connection and Morgan's energy was sapped.
"What did you do she's still bleeding?" Sky asked,
"Patched up her lung and mended her backbone and repaired the tissue, muscle and nerve damage that would have paralysed her, fixed a few other bones. Morgan then slumped down on the floor against the wall looking drained, Hunter shot her a thank-you look
"Maggie? Can you hear me? It's Hunter, Maggie, please talk to me" Maggie made a little groaning noise,
"Thank the Goddess," Sky sighed
The there was a knock at the door, Sky went and let the paramedics in, A male black guy about 6ft 7" tall knelt down beside Maggie,
"Can you give me some room please," he asked, his partner a short white woman with platinum blonde hair tightly pulled back into a bun stood behind him,
"What happened?" the male paramedic asked
Sky and Hunter filled them in on the incident while the paramedics were making several medical checks
"Right we need to get her into the hospital," she said after they had finished checking her out both of them rushed outside and came back in with a stretcher.
An hour later, Sky, Killian and Morgan were sat in the waiting room, Hunter was pacing backwards and forwards.
Sky and Killian looked like they were silently communicating they stood up at the same time, "We're going to get something to drink, anyone want anything?" Sky asked, both Morgan and Hunter shook their heads, deciding that Morgan and Hunter needed to talk they left them alone.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Morgan asked clearly heartbroken.
Hunter looked at Morgan his eyes softened, "Because you are the love of my life, Morgan? Maggie and I... it wasn't serious it was more like a friendship comforting thing she had a bad relationship and I didn't have you, we found companionship in each other that's all,"
Morgan laughed, "Hunter you were dating, she seemed to think it was serious,"
"But it wasn't, not to me, I cared for her sure, but I feel bad that she believed it was more, but as soon as you came back I was going to break whatever it was we had for you, she would have understood, you're my soul mate,"
"That's not the point Hunter… She…" Morgan thought about it, but decided not to tell him
Morgan rest her head in her hands, then lifted it again, "You know what, I'm just going to go," she stood up and turned to leave
"No, Morgan, wait,"
"Mr Niall?" just then the doctor appeared behind him and both of them turned to face him.
"How is she?" he asked, "She's going to be fine, we stitched up the wound on her head, her left arm is in a cast, but unfortunately, she's lost her baby,"
"Wha- baby?"
"You did no she was pregnant?" Hunter nodded slowly,
"Is she going to be okay?"
The doctor smiled and nodded, "She's very lucky it could have been a lot worse,"
"Thank you Doctor, thank you!" Hunter said the doctor smiled and nodded and walked back up the corridor.
Hunter turned to Morgan, "You knew," he said, Morgan stood there with a sad look,
"I knew" she said, her eyes filled to the brim with tears,
"And you didn't try to help it? You're more spiteful than I thought" he spat
"Hunter, how could you say that? It was too late, there was nothing I could do,"
"Liar! You could have helped it, you just didn't want to because you couldn't stand the thought of me having a child with another woman!"
Morgan looked like she had just been slapped, "Maggie was right, you are a heartless bitch,"
"Do you think I could kill an unborn child? One especially that's part of you? Goddess Hunter, did you ever know me at all?"
Hunter carried on pacing, "You just couldn't take it could you, you're a killer and a liar!"
"I have never told you anything but the truth, you're the one who lied here, you didn't tell me about Maggie tell me again how your relationship with her isn't serious you were going to have a child with her!"
"I didn't know about the child!" Hunter said
"But you still thought the relationship was serious enough to sleep with her?"
Hunter tried to comeback with something but couldn't form the words, "I knew coming back here would be a mistake, I'm going back to San Francisco," She stormed passed Hunter and nearly walked into Sky and Killian,
"Morgan?" Killian called after her. Killian handed Sky his cup of Coffee and she nodded in understanding as he went after her.
