He stroked her hair softly and she found herself closing her eyes. It was like pure ecstasy having him touch her this way.

"Mmmm." Was the only thing she could manage as she leaned into his touch. She didn't care if her reply was stupid or that she was showing him exactly how he affected her in this moment. All that mattered was that he was here with her.

Scarlett opened her eyes enough to see the small smile on Johnny's lips. It may not have been his full infamous grin, but it was something and she was thankful for it. She could tell something was still bothering him though and she couldn't figure out what.

A sudden noise at the door startled her and Johnny as Dr. Brackett came in. Was he her doctor again? It felt like ages ago since she'd seen him last.

Brackett moved to flip through her chart, just as she'd seen him do the last time. Except now he looked considerably happier. Maybe there wasn't any potential medical mysteries this time.

Scarlett met his eyes as he looked at her and smiled.

"Glad to see you're finally awake. You certainly scared us this time." He turned to look at Johnny who suddenly looked uncomfortable and Scarlett raised an eyebrow. What's all this about?

"How's she doing, Johnny?" Suddenly Brackett's tone was more serious and Scarlett found herself more confused.

"She seems all right, doc. She's alert, oriented and she seems to recognize me." Johnny's infamous crooked grin finally made a reappearance and it made Scarlett's heart flutter with pure happiness. It felt like too long since she'd seen it.

Brackett smiled again.

"That's certainly good news. Now, Scarlett, I'm going to check your eyes. This won't hurt a bit." He said, pulling out the penlight from his lab coat and checking her pupillary response. "Seems good. Now, what do you remember?"

She tried to think back but nothing came to her. What had happened anyway?

Scarlett shook her head.

"I - I'm n - not sure." She rasped out. Her throat felt like sandpaper and it was hard finding her voice.

At least Johnny seemed to have the foresight to have a glass of water ready. He slowly removed her oxygen mask and tilted the glass to her lips and Scarlett found herself even more grateful for this amazing man. She didn't even think it was possible.

"Don't drink too fast." Johnny chastised and she found herself wanting to roll her eyes at him. So much so, that she seemed to have done it without realizing and she realized Brackett was grinning again and Johnny wore a look of annoyance that didn't reach his eyes. Oops.

"I see her attitude is still intact." Brackett grinned at Johnny.

"Yeah, it definitely is." Johnny replied and Scarlett met his eyes and once again saw in them all the love he had for her. She found herself involuntarily blushing.

"Now," Brackett interrupted their moment. "Do you know where you are?"

Scarlett sighed. She knew the drill from last time.

"Hospital. Year is 1977 and I'm Scarlett Black. Only thing I can't figure out is what happened, to be honest."

She watched as Brackett and Johnny exchanged looks.

"Before we get into that, Johnny has something he'd like to tell you."

Johnny looked confused for a few seconds before understanding flooded his features, and then something similar to embarrassment? What was going on?

"Oh, um, yeah, the thing is..." He started awkwardly, seemingly having a hard time spitting it out. "You're pregnant."
