"Shit." Trinity sat up quickly and hit her head on the bunk above her. She rubbed it with one hand and swung her legs over the side of the bed.

"Up?" Neo's voice filtered down from above her. She assumed he was in the bunk above her.

"Where are we?" She replied, answering a question with a question. She rested her head in her hands and tried to resist the urge to throw up again.

As she moved her left arm she was surprised to feel the resistance of an IV on one of her plugs. She looked at it in disgust. With her right hand she started to pull it out but was stopped by the sound of metal scraping against metal.

"So, the famous Trinity is awake." A female voice implied, she looked up as a hand prevented her from pulling out the IV. A youngish looking Zion-born looked back at her. "I'm Fever. Your doctor."

Trinity sighed and took her hand away from the IV. Neo jumped down from the bunk above her and turned to face her.

"Do you want to go for a short walk?" He asked, holding his arm out to take hers to steady her so she didn't fall. She gave him a weak smile, before frowning. Assuming it was the IV making her feel sick she got up to follow him. Intending on not eating she walked a few steps before collasping again. The fuzz in her head prevented her from remembering what happened next but she did remember Neo's voice sounding very worried, and the doctor, Fever?

"Trinity? Can you hear me?" Neo's worried voice finally reached her through the horrible fuzz in her head. "Trinity?"

"Mmm." She replied, opening her eyes. "What?"

"Trinity?" He replied.

"What do you want?" He was sitting on the side of her hospital bed, smiling at her. "What's going on here?"

She looked around the room. Tank, Neo and Fever were standing around looking at her. Fever looked very stricken.

"Umm, guys. I need to speak with Trinity alone please." She said, so quietly that no-one nearly heard her. Louder she repeated her self. "Everyone out please."

They both mumbled as they went out. Neo gave her a quick kiss on the cheek as he left the room. Trinity sat herself up in bed and waited for Fever to speak.

"Is everything okay?" She asked, Fever still hadn't started talking. "Fever?"

"I just got your tests back that we took when you first came in." She took a deep breath and sat down on the side of the bed. "Did you know you might be pregnant?"

"Excuse me?" Trinity looked at her, her eyes round and unbelieving. "Are you sure?"

"Well, not really. We only found large amounts of the growth hormone Gyncerol that is present from about a few weeks after conception. I really should take another test, one that is a pregnancy test." Fever kept her eyes down to the ground. "Trinity, by the ways that you have been lately, I think something may be wrong. When, ah, when..."

She trailed off, actually sounding embarrassed. 'I'm a doctor, I ask people stuff like this all the time'. She cleared her throat. 'Maybe not the Trinity, but to people'.

"When do you think the, ah, baby was conceived?" Trinity smiled slyly and thought; only for a second and replied.

"Probably only a few weeks ago, four at the most." She replied. "Look, if you do the test and you find out I really am pregnant, will it stop me from going into the Matrix, fighting?"

"I, ah, actually, we normally tell the mothers-to-be to get off the ships and into Zion as soon as possible. I really don't know the effects of the Matrix on a baby." She replied, looking up at her, startled. "Normally, when they come to the doctors here they have already talked it over with the crew, their family and decided to quit the ship for a family life. I..."

"But what you and I talk about is confidential. Right?" Trinity shook her head slowly at herself. "I mean, you can't tell any-one about what we talk about here?"

"Oh." Fever finally realised what Trinity was saying. "I suppose if you want to keep it a secret. I can't tell them."

Trinity relaxed and closed her eyes. She could be pregnant. She was probably going to be a mother. She opened them again. "Okay, so I let you do this test, you tell me if I am or not and I go back to my ship. It's my choice if I tell Neo or my crew?"

Fever nodded. "Please, get some sleep. I'll be back in a few minutes. I just need to get the equipment ready."

Trinity nodded and lay back against the pillow. After the metal door shut, signalling Fever's exit, it opened again, signalling that Neo and Tank had come back in. Her eyes flicked open and she smiled at them as they seated themselves, tank on the only chair, Neo on the end of her bed.

"Where's Morpheus?" She asked, trying to make light conversation.

"We don't know." Was Neo's reply, before he looked away. She raised her eyebrows at him.

"Tank?" She sighed again and twisted around, trying to get comfortable in the lumpy bed. Neo's hand stole up and grasped hers. She was glad of the comfort it gave her.

"I helped Neo carry your sorry ass to where you no doubt woke." He replied, a hint of humour in his voice. "I then went to Zion to get help. The Neb is totally destroyed."

"Oh, no." A sob caught in her throat but she forced it down, she was not going to let this pregnancy ruin her life. No emotions. That was not Trinity. Trinity was cool, calm and collected. She grabbed Neo's hand and smiled at him. Tank coughed lightly and rose.

"I might leave you two alone." He told the two, shaking his head and leaving the room. "I'll come back to visit you soon Trin."

She nodded slightly as he left, her eyes focused on Neo.

"Are you really fine Trin?" Neo asked her, moving up the bed to sit nearer the pillow. She sat up, propped up on the pillow and looked at him. Her eyes travelled over his face, taking in his sunken eyes, his drawn face, his cheekbones that stuck out. Instantly she sat up and helped Neo to lie down.

"Neo, sleep, you look dead to the world." She said, tucking him in like a little baby. A smile flickered over his face as he closed his eyes. "Sleep Neo."

"I love you Trinity." He murmured. She smiled and lay next to him, on top of the blankets. "I had to make sure you were okay..."

"Shh. I'm fine." Trinity laid her fingers over his dry lips, silencing him. She waited as his breathing became slower and deeper, indicating him falling asleep. She whispered as he fell asleep. "I love you too Neo."

"Trinity?" Jolting awake, Trinity nearly jumped out of her skin. "It's Fever. I came to do the test."

"What test?" Neo asked, eyes opening slowly. "I thought you said you were fine Trin."

"She is." Fever replied, covering for Trinity whose mouth was just sitting open, staring at Neo. "I just need to do a blood test. Could you come with me Trinity?"

"Sure." Trinity got up quickly, gave Neo a kiss on the forehead and grabbed the IV bag from the hook on the wall. "Go back to sleep Neo."

Trinity followed Fever out of the room and followed her down the long coridoor to a small room. Fever indicated that Trinity sit up on the table. She did as she was told. Fever left the room for a minute and Trinity looked around. The room was white, unusual for Zion, but nevertheless, it was white. Three small shelves were on the opposite wall, housing syringes, pads, dressings and other equipment. She was sitting on a rather tall table, padded, with round corners.

Looking down, for the first time, she realised that she was in a hospital gown, of sorts. Her usual grey jumper and black pants were gone, and replaced with a long, loose, grey dress. It had no sleeves, no need for them in Zion. It was warmed by the molten larva, many millions of miles under the city.

"Trinity?" Fever broke into her thoughts and made her look up. She was carrying a small kidney dish with a syringe and a small glass vial. "I need a blood and urine sample."

"Okay then." Fever handed her the vial and made her hold it as she took a blood sample. Trinity looked away as Fever took the IV out, inserted the needle and took about 30 mls of her blood. Once Fever had finished, she showed Trinity where the bathroom was and she filled the small vial.

"Okay, here it is." Trinity handed the vial to Fever and sat back down on the table to wait. She continued to look around the room out of boredom. Tapping the table slightly she tried to think of ways to kill agents, just to kill time.

Bullets, hardly ever, knives, yeah right, Neo. Now there was a sure way to kill an agent. Her mind full of Neo, she didn't notice Fever step back into the room.

"Trinity." Her head snapped up at the sound of her voice. "Sit down."

"I am sitting down." She replied. Detecting the worry in Fever's voice she took a deep breath. "Is everything okay? Am I okay?"

"Yes Trinity, you're fine." Her doctor answered, before handing her a small piece of paper. "These are your results."

Reading them, Trinity gasped. "I'm pregnant?"

"Yes." Fever replied. "With twins."
