So, I didn't get enough time to update this during my Christmas vacation, but since I had a snow day and delays galore last week, I managed to write this up. I hope you guys like this chapter. My next vacation is in 5 weeks...yay...
Chapter 14: Therapy Part II
Starscream looked a little startled when he opened the door and saw Angelique standing there. He leaned against the doorframe as he took her in. Crossing his arms he asked, "Why are you here?"
"I need a few questions answered. You feel like having an interview, even though the questions aren't about you?"
"Just what is your definition of a few?"
"Just let me in," Angelique said frustrated, "This won't take too long if you just answer the questions."
Starscream growled before he stepped aside and allowed Angelique to come into the room. She glanced around before she sat down in a chair that was in his room. As she took his room in, she noticed that he had three rooms in his quarters, a living area, an office, and a bedroom. Starscream sat down on the couch that was to the right of her. "Let's get this over with," he said, "I'm not one for interviews."
"Okay, did the Autobots tell you that Megatron is in prison?"
"Not exactly, they told me that he was 'under their care' pro tempore," Starscream answered nonchalantly.
"Let's…not use Latin phrases."
"For the time being then, jeez human expand your vocabulary."
Angelique grumbled and then went onto the next question, "I know you assumed command pro tempore, did you tell the other Decepticons that Megatron is with the Autobots?"
"I told them Megatron was out of commission for a little while…" and then he added with a smirk, "Maybe permanently."
"Don't get your hopes up yet Starscream. Megatron was arrested because he almost killed me. Because of him, I am not human anymore. I don't know if you're aware of it or not, but he's severely depressed, even though he denies it."
"And your question?"
"Do you know any reasons as to why Megatron is so depressed?"
"I think the question you should ask is whether or not I care Megatron is depressed, and the answer to that is no. Nobody does, and why should we? All he did was treat us like dirt."
"Regardless, that isn't the question I asked you."
"What are your theories?"
"Look, I'm the one asking the questions here."
Starscream pursed his lips to the side, "It's because we're not fighting anymore. The war was his life; now that it's over…well…I'm sure you have figured this out yourself. If you bring back the war, you bring him out of the depression."
Angelique sighed heavily, thinking about his words before she stood up from the chair and said, "Well…I can't think of anything more to ask—
"If you could get him to love…"
Angelique turned to him, "W-What?"
"Look, it's obvious you're the only who cares about him. Would you be willing to spend the rest of your life with him?"
"It's…not possible. He's never going to love."
"He's come close. There have been a couple of femmes that have rubbed off on him, but no femme has ever been able to break through his hard outer core. If you just got Wing-Saber out of the picture and were able to prove to him that you do care, he'll lighten up around you and Primus knows what'll happen after that."
"I'm not so willing to toss Wing-Saber aside like that."
"But you are Megatron?"
"Look," Angelique stated as she headed towards the door, "I'm not giving up on Megatron, but I'm not going to hurt Wing-Saber either. Now, I've got the key to Megatron's cell, I'm letting him out, so be ready to relinquish your current duties."
"Pro tempore?"
"No, this isn't pro tempore." And she left his room.
Once outside of the base, Optimus wrapped his arm around Aurora's waist and pulled her against him. She sighed and relaxed against him. With all the chaos that had been happening in the base the last couple of days, it had been awhile since the two of them had had a moment like this…alone together.
"Isn't there a game that some people play called twenty questions?" Optimus asked suddenly, breaking the silence between them, "That way they can get to know one another better."
"Yeah, did you want to play?"
"Why not?"
"Okay, do you know the rules?"
"Not really, no."
"Alright, I ask a question and you have to answer truthfully. Then you have to ask a question and I have to answer truthfully, and so on and so forth."
"Oh, well that's simple enough. Do you want to start?"
"I guess, um, let's see here…" she trailed off as she thought about what to ask, "What would you do if Elita were to come back?"
Optimus sighed heavily; there wasn't a rule that said the questions couldn't be that hard. "I've never really thought about it," he replied after a brief pause, "She did leave me, so I would have to say no to her if she came back, especially now that I've got you."
Aurora nodded, satisfied with that answer, "Okay, it's your turn."
"How many boyfriends did you have as a human?"
Aurora's cheeks reddened, "Well um, none…I really hadn't ever planned on dating anybody and then I met you and things changed."
"So, I am your first?"
"Hey now, it's my turn to ask a question."
"Right…"
"Um, what's your favorite color?"
"I have two, red and blue."
"Well, that makes sense."
"Now, I am your first?"
"Yes, first boyfriend, first guy I've held hands with, first guy I've kissed, all that good stuff."
Optimus grinned, "I feel very honored."
"That's good, but you don't care that I don't have any experience?"
"No, it means I won't have to worry about you comparing to me to somebody else that you used to date and I can teach you things."
"Oh really?"
"Yes, but it's my turn. Now, what's your favorite kind of music?"
"I like all sorts of stuff. I like country, some of the hip-hop/rap, some rock, Broadway musical stuff, and yeah..." she trailed off, "What kinds of stuff do you plan on teaching me?"
"Whatever you're willing to try. Of course there are conditions."
She looked at him skeptically and then Optimus asked, "How far are you willing to go?"
"No sex till marriage," Aurora said automatically, "And no touching in inappropriate places…that's all I can think of for the moment. What are your conditions?"
"Well, you have to be ready, so if you don't want to do something, just tell me, and I have to think you're ready, especially if it's extreme…like sex. Anymore questions?"
"Is it possible for a transformer and human to have sex?"
"That's…a good question. I don't know, and I don't think so."
"Well, what about a holoform?"
"A what?"
"A holographic image of yourself as a human, except it's a lot more than a hologram, you can feel with it and objects can't pass through it."
"That's possible, I'll have to ask Red Alert about that, when the time comes."
Her cheeks flushed, "Okay."
"You know that movie night you promised me?"
"Yes, it's going to happen, I just need to talk to Angelique about it. What's today…Monday? Alright, it's happening this Saturday, even if it is just you and me, its happening."
"Okay then, should we aim for seven o'clock?"
"Seven is good."
The couple arrived at the house and Aurora led the way inside. Once inside, Optimus took her in his arms.
Looking up at him, Aurora said, "Let's go in my room."
Once Angelique got back to the Autobot section of the base, she headed straight for the prison. She was in a much lighter mood compared to earlier…and she hoped that it would go better this time as well, especially since she planned on letting him out, and she definitely didn't want to let an angry Megatron free. Not when she was completely and utterly defenseless against him.
"Hey princess, where are you headed?"
Angelique stopped and turned only to see Wing-Saber coming up from behind her. "Oh, hey Wing-Saber," she said.
He wrapped an arm around her waist and continued walking forward with her, "Where are you going?"
"I was headed to the prison…" she trailed off sensing that this was going to go bad.
"Why?"
"Well, because I want to."
"I have a crazy, suicidal girlfriend. How many kisses would it take to convince you not to go in there?"
"As if I would tell you that."
He looked at her.
"Okay, maybe five."
He leaned down and placed a quick kiss on her lips, "There's one."
"You know, the door to the prison is just around the corner and—
He kissed her quickly on the lips again, "There's two."
When the two reached the prison door, Wing-Saber had managed to get four kisses. Angelique opened the door to the prison and took a step inside saying, "I'll see you later Wing-Saber."
"One more kiss, you said five."
"I said maybe five," and then after a brief pause she added, "You can have it when I come out. An extra special one, okay?"
"Alright, I'll wait here incase—
"No, I'll be alright. I'll find you after I get done."
Wing-Saber looked at her skeptically, "You can't be sure about that."
"Trust me Wing-Saber, I trust you." And she walked inside, the door closing behind her.
Sighing heavily, she stepped away from the door and headed to Megatron's cell, hoping that he was in a better mood. If not…well, she figured she was nothing more and nothing less than completely doomed. When she got to his cell, she sat down on the bench that was in front of it.
"I thought you said you weren't coming back human," came the Decepticon leader's voice from inside the cell.
"I changed my mind. Look, I need to apologize to you; I shouldn't have said that I don't care and that you're not worth it because it's not true. You're not an easy guy to deal with and all I really want to do is help you."
"I told you I don't need help."
"Alright…but that doesn't mean I'm not going to try and give it to you anyway." Angelique saw his optics flicker in the cell and then twin pale blue optics were staring at her.
"What made you change your mind?"
"I don't want to be like everyone else."
"What do you mean?"
She sighed heavily, "Nobody else cares about you…that's why nobody else has come here to visit you. That's why Starscream assumed your position temporarily; it's why the rest of the Decepticons haven't come to free you."
"You're only here because Red Alert and Optimus think you should be."
"It's my choice now."
"I don't understand you human. I've kidnapped you and tortured you, manipulated and beat you, I've starved you and almost killed you…but you still come back, willing to make amends and willing to…show me a softer side."
"I really do care…"
"Why? Just what have I done that would make you care so much?"
"I don't know," and then after a pause she said, "I know it's the war that's making you feel the way you do. You told me so and it would make sense."
"You're not going to bring back the war."
"No, I think if you really missed it that much you would have brought it back yourself by now," she explained and then added, "But I certainly don't think you're going to get better sitting alone in that cell."
"You're letting me out?"
"Yes, but only if you agree to a couple of things."
"I should've known there would be catches to this…alright what?"
"You need to try and be nicer."
He growled, "Fine…what else?"
"You still have to meet with me once a day for therapy. And don't worry, we can keep the sessions short, that way I don't use up all of your time."
"I guess I don't have a choice, now let me out."
"Okay," she replied and she got up and went over to his cell. After entering a code into the keypad, the bars slid open and Megatron walked out.
"Where are my weapons?" he asked.
"Oh…you'd have to ask Optimus about that."
"Figures."
Angelique took out her phone and began typing a text message. After she sent it, she headed for the door to the prison and said, "Well, I'm bustin' out of this joint. I just hope Wing-Saber isn't waiting outside or I'm screwed." Slowly, Angelique opened the door, and as she had dreaded, Wing-Saber was waiting outside the door.
"Hey princess."
Megatron frowned as he came up from behind Angelique, "Don't call my human princess."
Wing-Saber's jaw dropped, "You let him go?! What are you, nuts?!"
"No…I know what I'm doing…"
"Oh, trust me Wing-Saber," he mimicked her, "Sure as the slagging pit I'll trust you! Especially when you're going around freeing people that have come very close to killing you. And then you say 'I know what I'm doing.'"
Angelique frowned, glaring at him. She was just about to say something when Wing-Saber cut her off, "It's all just an act isn't it? You don't really love me; you're still utterly in love with him!"
"Wing-Saber that isn't true."
"Then why are you letting him out?"
"Megatron isn't going to get better sitting in jail."
"You're the one who chose to put him there."
"Well, now I'm choosing to let him out."
"I don't like this, I can't trust him."
"He's standing right behind me and he's not doing anything."
"Alright, that's it, you seriously need to choose. Is it him or is it me that your affections go to?"
Angelique's cheeks flushed and she put a hand to her forehead, "Can we discuss this somewhere else?"
"Oh not yet, I'm quite interested in hearing your answer human," Megatron taunted.
Angelique turned and looked at him, "What's it matter to you? We're not even romantically involved."
"Well, there was that one time."
Her eyes widened and Megatron read the pleading look in them, begging him not to say anything else. He smirked, "Remember? It was only a week ago or so, when you and Wing-Saber got into that other fight."
"What is he talking about?" Wing-Saber asked sternly.
"He's lying," Angelique said quickly, "He wants you to think I did something wrong when I didn't."
Megatron grinned, "I'm not lying."
"What happened?" the Autobot demanded now, "I will go review the security tapes if I have to."
Angelique bit her lip and then said quietly, "He forced a kiss on me."
Wing-Saber looked like he was about to explode. "Y-You kissed her?" he snarled at Megatron.
"I had to prove a point…"
"What point?! That you're the best kisser in the universe?"
"Well, basically. My human would agree."
"She's not yours!" Wing-Saber shouted, pulling Angelique behind him.
"She wears my insignia, she is mine."
Wing-Saber growled and grabbed the closest object he could find, a metal pipe sticking out from the wall. He yanked it free and without thinking twice, he swung.
Aurora groaned when she suddenly felt her cellphone vibrate in her pocket. She was lying on her bed—Optimus next to her and holding her closely—and receiving the most passionate kiss of her life. Optimus sighed heavily and said, "You better see what that's about."
"Right." And Aurora pulled her phone out of her pocket and read the text message only to gasp, "Oh God, Angelique let Megatron out."
"She always knows how to ruin our moment, come on; we better get back down to the base."
"If you say so."
"Wing-Saber! STOP!" Angelique screamed as she watched the Autobot slam the pipe against Megatron's head again.
He raised the pipe to strike the Decepticon leader again when he felt arms encircle his waist and Angelique sobbed into his back, trembling, "Wing-Saber you got to stop, you've hurt him…you got your revenge okay? Just stop…please."
The Autobot lowered his arm and the pipe slipped out of his fingers, clattering to the floor. Wing-Saber turned so that he was facing her and wrapped his arms around her, murmuring, "I…I think I…killed him."
Angelique gasped and looked up at him, tears streaming down her face. "No!" she shrieked, slamming her fists against him, "If you killed him I'll hate you for the rest of my life! Go get Red Alert now!"
Wing-Saber, not liking his options, decided to obey and left to get Red Alert. Angelique knelt down beside the fallen Decepticon leader, wiping her eyes and trying to stop the tears but she couldn't. She couldn't erase the image of Wing-Saber slamming the pipe against Megatron's head over and over again; he had done it so many times she had lost count. He was lying face down on the floor, shards of pale blue glass were scattered around his face, his optics completely shattered. There were dents and terrible gashes in his head that exposed wires and sparks of electricity danced through them.
Her phone vibrated in her pocket suddenly and she took it out only to see that Aurora was calling her. She answered the phone and said through sniffles, "Hey Aurora…where are you? Are you with Optimus?"
"Yeah, are you crying?"
"Um…yeah."
"How come, is something wrong?"
"Wing-Saber and Megatron got into a fight…a really bad one."
"Is Wing-Saber alright?"
"He's fine…it's Megatron I'm worried about."
"Megatron?"
"Wing-Saber kept hitting him in the head with a pipe as hard as he could," Angelique explained and then she broke down in sobs as she continued, "I don't know if he's alive, Wing-Saber went to get Red Alert, but I won't know until he gets here."
"Alright, Red Alert is probably going to need some help getting Megatron to the med bay. Optimus and I will be there in a sec. Where are you?"
"Outside the prison."
"Okay, just hold on."
And the line went dead. Angelique hugged herself tightly to try and squish away the nausea that was building inside of her. It seemed like forever had gone by when Wing-Saber finally came back with Red Alert. Red Alert immediately began attending to Megatron and a few minutes later, Optimus and Aurora came. Angelique, despite the miserable state she was in, got up and went over to her sister. Aurora hugged her and said, "Hey you, calm down. Everything is going to be okay."
"For now," Red Alert added causing Angelique's face to crumple, "He's alive, but barely. I need to get him to the med bay stat in order to keep him alive."
Optimus nodded, "Alright, Wing-Saber, you help us." The Autobot leader opened a space gate to the med bay and Wing-Saber and Red Alert carried Megatron through.
As soon as the space gate closed Angelique's face paled and she quickly breathed, "I'm going to be sick."
Aurora grabbed her by the arm and quickly steered her to the nearest bathroom. Angelique made it inside just in the nick of time. Optimus followed them and he looked to Aurora asking, "Is she going to be okay?"
"She will be if Megatron is. It's quite obvious she's worried sick about him right now."
"Well, when she's finished let's get to the med bay. I need to talk with Wing-Saber about this."
Aurora leaned against him, sighing, "Optimus we need to convince Wing-Saber and Angelique to just let each other go. They're doing nothing but hurting each other."
"I know," he said wrapping his arms around her, "I've tried convincing Wing-Saber, but he thinks they'll be okay…and then things like this keep happening."
Aurora's eyes widened suddenly, "Oh my gosh I have an idea. You know those three femmes Red Alert created? If we brought them to life, maybe Wing-Saber would go for one of them instead."
"That might work; Red Alert and I will get to work on that as soon as he is done with Megatron. If Megatron doesn't live though…"
"Angelique wouldn't stay with him knowing that Wing-Saber killed Megatron. But don't say that in front of Angelique, if Megatron dies she'll probably become suicidal and I surely don't want that."
"Alright."
Angelique emerged from the bathroom and she looked at how Optimus was holding her sister. She faked a smile as she said, "You guys make a good couple."
"Thanks I guess," Aurora replied, "You want to go to the med bay?"
"Yes."
"Okay then." And Aurora nudged her forward.
Angelique started walking towards the med bay and Aurora and Optimus followed beside her. After a brief silence, Optimus asked, "Angelique, what provoked Wing-Saber to attack Megatron?"
"Well, Wing-Saber was waiting outside the prison and when I walked out with Megatron right behind me, he got really mad. He wanted me to choose between him and Megatron right then…and Megatron tried to make the situation worse by saying he and I did something that showed we were romantically involved."
"Well, did you do anything with Megatron?" Optimus questioned.
Angelique's cheeks flushed, "There was one time…that first time Wing-Saber and I got into a fight."
"Oh, I remember that," Aurora said, "Did you tell Wing-Saber that Megatron forced the kiss on you?"
Her blush increased, "Yeah I did."
"Wait a minute, you kissed Megatron?" Optimus asked surprised, "Why was I not informed about this?"
"I didn't kiss him," Angelique explained quickly, "He kissed me…and I didn't think it was that important to let anybody know. Especially Wing-Saber."
"So, is this what provoked him to attack Megatron?"
"No, but it almost put him over the edge. It was when Megatron said I was his because of the insignia on my chest…that was the straw that broke the camel's back."
"Was Wing-Saber at all mad at you when you revealed the kiss?"
"No, but he'll probably approach me later wondering why I didn't tell him about it sooner."
"How come you didn't tell him about it before today?"
"Well, after that day Megatron started that whole abuse course 101, so I didn't have the chance and it was one of the last things on my mind."
"Well," Aurora piped up, "Would you have told him about it even if Megatron hadn't come after you?"
"Probably not."
"Why?"
"Because…I got caught up in the moment and kissed back."
When they got to the med bay, Angelique felt her heart catch in her throat and it was almost like she couldn't breathe. Aurora nudged her into the waiting room since the doors to the med bay were locked and they couldn't get inside. Wing-Saber was inside the waiting room and when Optimus saw him he said, "Wing-Saber, you and I need to talk."
"Uh, yes sir," he stood and walked out of the room.
Optimus leaned forward and whispered in Aurora's ear, "Try to convince Angelique to let Wing-Saber go while I'm gone."
"Alright."
Optimus then left the room to talk to Wing-Saber.
Angelique sat down heavily in a chair and let the world's deepest sigh free. Aurora sat down next to her and said, "So, are you going to forgive Wing-Saber for this?"
"Let's not talk about him right now."
"Angelique, we need to. I…I don't think you should continue going out with him. You're doing nothing but getting into fights and hurting one another. You need to come to terms with yourself and admit that your feelings aren't strong enough for Wing-Saber."
"There is something between us."
"But it's not love."
"How would you know? Why would Wing-Saber beat up Megatron? He was jealous, bitterly jealous."
"And you broke down and cried when Wing-Saber nearly killed Megatron, you threw up after you heard he was barely alive."
Tears started forming in Angelique's eyes, "I don't know then. Maybe I like to believe that I can get by without Megatron, make I like to pretend that I don't really need him, that somebody else can make me happy, but it's not true. Aurora, if Megatron dies…I…I'm going to die too."
"You really love Megatron don't you? One of those kinds of loves that cannot be destroyed, no matter what."
"Yeah, I mean if he hadn't come to life I probably would have grown out of it at some point, but now that I see him, in flesh and blood…I don't know what's going to happen."
"Don't you ever think though that it would be a Joker and Harley Quinn relationship?"
"You mean, with me as Harley and him as the Joker?"
"Yeah, full of abuse and manipulation. Don't you think he would always use you for his own benefit? Don't you think you would always be questioning whether or not he really loved you?"
"Aurora, that's already going on now."
Optimus and Wing-Saber went away from the med bay until they were out of hearing and seeing range. The Autobot leader sighed heavily before saying, "Angelique told me what happened. Look, if you keep getting into fights with her like this, you can't stay with her. And you certainly can't go killing off people she cares about with all her heart just to solve a jealousy problem."
"Oh, so it's one of those speeches again, that I should just let her go before something happens. Well, I don't think you have to worry about that anymore. After what I did, she'll be lucky to let me come out of this alive."
"Wing-Saber, your actions were not acceptable. You're certainly going to have to apologize to Angelique about this, and if Megatron recovers, you have to apologize to him as well."
"Apologize to Megatron?! Screw that! I'll just break into the med bay and finish him off."
Optimus grabbed Wing-Saber by the shoulders and pushed him against the wall, "Listen to me Wing-Saber, if you kill Megatron, Angelique is going to die too. She loves Megatron too much to live without him, and you know that. You need to let her go now, before anything else happens; her heart is not with you."
Wing-Saber growled and pushed Optimus off of him, "I'll talk with her, alright?"
Optimus nodded, "Alright."
And Wing-Saber walked away, heading in the opposite direction of the med bay.
"Well, regardless of what is going on between you and Megatron, you seriously need to think about what is going on between you and Wing-Saber."
"Alright, but I'm not willing to talk to him for a while. At least not until I know Megatron is going to be alright."
"I guess that's fair."
Optimus walked back into the waiting room and sat down beside Aurora, wrapping an arm around her. Aurora leaned against him and asked, "Where's Wing-Saber?"
"I think he went to go blow off some steam."
Angelique glanced at them before sighing heavily and looking away. Aurora figured this wasn't the appropriate time to tell Angelique about the movie night, she'd wait until a little later on in the week and bring it up, just as long as Megatron recovered.
"If you guys want to go do something else you can, you don't have to wait here," Angelique stated suddenly.
"We'll wait until Red Alert comes out and says how Megatron is," Aurora replied.
"Alright," Angelique remarked in a voice barely above a whisper, she wasn't going to argue.
Red Alert didn't come back out until quarter to ten that night. He looked completely exhausted and frustrated as well. When Angelique took one look at him, her heart sank and she thought for sure he lungs had exploded, she couldn't breathe.
"Is he okay?" Optimus asked.
"It took me forever to get him into a stable condition, I almost lost him a couple times; Wing-Saber really did a number on him."
Angelique could suddenly breathe again knowing that he was still alive, "Is he going to make it through?"
"Well, I repaired him the best I could, but it's up to his self-repair system to completely repair him. I did a few scans and it doesn't look like he suffered any memory loss, which is amazing seeing his injuries. He is in a coma though and the lights are to remain dim until he wakes up and has been awake for twenty-four hours," the medic explained, "I'm going to need someone to stay with him overnight to make sure he stays in the stable condition he's in now."
"I'll stay," Angelique volunteered without hesitating.
Red Alert nodded, "Alright, let's go."
Angelique got up from the chair she was sitting in and followed Red Alert into the med bay. The doors shut behind them and Angelique heard them lock. "Now," the medic began gesturing to Megatron, "Since his body is so out of it right now, his temperature control system may not work properly. If he starts shaking, throw a blanket on him. If you see him starting to sweat, take the blanket off and turn on the fan that's next to him. Since he is unaware of what he is doing, he might try to touch his head since it's in pain. If he starts to lift a hand towards his head, make sure you grab it."
"Alright, anything else?"
"Yes, from time to time I want you to talk to him, ask him yes or no questions. If he responds, like by his lips twitching or his fingers twitching, anything like that, make sure you let me know. Right now I have a bandage around his head covering his optics since both of his optical lenses had to be replaced. Since his optics are in pain, he'll probably have optical fluent leaking from them for a few days."
"Okay."
"Now that's all. I'll see you in the morning." And he disappeared inside his quarters.
Angelique found a chair and pulled it to Megatron's bedside. The tears had found their way out of her eyes again. It hurt her so much to see the Decepticon leader like this and it hurt even more to know somebody she cared about had put him in this state. She took his hand in both of hers and held it against her tearstained cheek.
"Oh Megatron," she breathed, "I'm so sorry."
Optimus couldn't hide a grin when he saw Aurora had fallen asleep against him. He hated to wake her, but he knew that if she stayed there she would be sore in the morning. Gently he nudged her until she woke up and then he said, "Sorry to wake you, come on, let's get you to bed."
"Okay," she replied and Optimus stood and lifted her in his arms. Aurora rested her head against his neck.
Optimus felt her breath ripple down his neck and it was all he could do to suppress a shudder. "Do you want to go to your room or mine?" he asked in a murmur.
"Your room," she mumbled back.
The Autobot leader took her to his room and he skipped by the guest bedroom that he had and went straight to his bed. He laid her down and then he settled down next to her, pulling the blanket over them and taking her in his arms.
"You don't mind this do you?"
"No, I love you Optimus."
Optimus grinned and kissed her lips gently as she fell asleep.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, please review!
