Disclaimer: I do not own anything

Cosette sat in the parlor doing her needle point. She had been awake for about three hours. About three hours ago she had gotten out of bed to get a glass of water and had noticed that her father wasn't at home. So she assume was just that he was just out and would be back soon. Soon one hour passed, then two, and know three.

"I hope he's alright." Cosette Thought. Just then she thought of her Marius who was at the brocades fighting for his country's freedom. She looked at the grandfather clock in the corner, another hour had gone by. Cosette was really starting to worry, not just about her father but about Marius as well (of course). About ten minutes later the front door opened and Jean Valjean came in.

"Cosette what are you doing up?" asked Valjean

"I woke up about an hour ago and I noticed that you were gone and I have been hear ever since." Said Cosette.

"All right well, I'm hear know, so let's get some sleep." Said Valjean

******************************** The next day Cosette got up at about 8:00. When she got down stairs she saw that her father was righting with his quill at the table. About ten minutes later (after Cosette and Valjean had finished breakfast) Cosette and Valjean were sitting in the parlor when there was a knock at the door

"I'll get it" said Cosette getting up to answer the door. When she came back into the living room she had a letter and an envelope in her hands.

"Oh my god, Marius." Said Cosette quietly

"Cosette, what's wrong, let me see that." Said Valjean. Cosette handed him the letter. "Do you know a Marius Pontmercy?" asked Valjean even though he knew the answer. Cosette nodded. "Well then what are we waiting for, get your bonnet and lets go." Said Valjean

"Oh thank you papa." Said Cosette.

******************************** When they got to the house where Marius was they Valjean knocked on the door. About a minute later a young woman answered the door.

"Yes, may I help you?" asked the woman

"Yes, we are looking for Marius Pontmercy." Said Valjean "Alright, come in and follow me" said the woman

"Cosette, you go up, I'll stay her." Said Valjean.

"Um, is he conscious?" asked Cosette

"Yes, he conscious." Said the woman. "He's in here said the." stopping in front of a door.

Cosette nodded and went into the room. Cosette opened the door (she saw Marius sitting at the window seat) and shut the door behind her. Marius immediately looked up.

"Cosette?" said Marius sounding shocked. Cosette nodded and walked over to him and sat down next to him. "What are you doing here; I thought that you were moving across the sea." Said Marius

"Well, we were going to but thank god things changed. And the reason that we are here is to our house." Said Cosette

"We." asked Marius

"Me and my father." Said Cosette

"Well, is your father here?" asked Marius. Cosette nodded. "So how did you get here?" asked Marius?"

"We have a carriage," Said Cosette. "Listen, do you have any of your own positions here?" asked Cosette.

"Just the stuff that Mrs. Martoglio gave me." Said Marius

"O.k., where is your stuff?" asked Cosette

"In that trunk." said Marius motioning to the small trunk by the opposite wall. Cosette stud up to go get the stuff but before she could go anywhere Marius grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him and kissed her extremely patiently Cosette was left in a state of complete shock. ************************** Later that day Cosette and Valjean got Marius to there house and got him settled in the spare room across from Cosette's. Marius and Valjean became great friends (a/n: or I should say that Marius "was like the sun that Valjean might have known if god had granted me a son" like in the song bring him home on the CD). After about three weeks had passed Marius could walk without a cane, but he was still limping a little. About four weeks after Cosette and Valjean brought Marius to the house Marius had to go to town to get something (a/n: if you want a hint on what that thing is I will give you three hints: 1. it is round 2. it is usually gold 3. it usually has a diamond on it).

"When do you recommend I give it to her?" said Marius walking up the path.

"Tonight right after dinner." Said Valjean. When they walked into the house the where shocked at what they saw. It was Cosette on the floor unconscious.

"Cosette!" said Marius rushing over to her side. Marius was completely speechless what could he say his beloved Cosette was unconscious on the ground. "Cosette, Cosette please wake up!" said Marius kneeling beside her. Valjean walked over and put his hand on Mariuse's shoulder.

"We should bring her upstairs" said Valjean. Marius then proceeded to pick Cosette up.

"Marius are you sure that you can carry her" said Valjean. Marius nodded. He then picked Cosette up honeymoon style. Her arms and head dangling. Marius carried Cosette up to her bed room and placed her down on her bed (witch was a canopy).

"Is it alright if I stay in here with her?" asked Marius

"Of course you can" said Valjean

"Is there any way that you know to wake her." asked Marius. Valjean shook his head

"the only thing that I can think of is smelling salts." Said Valjean

"Do you have any in the house?" asked Marius

"I don't know we might have some in the kitchen." said Valjean. Marius got up to go look but Valjean stopped him.

"No, you stay here with her. I'll go look." Said Valjean turning to leave the room. Marius went and sat back down next to Cosette's bed and started remembering the night that he first met Cosette. *************flashback*************

Marius

A heart full of love

A heart full of song

I'm doing everything all wrong

Oh God, for shame

I do not even know your name

Dear Mad'moiselle

Won't you say?

Will you tell? Cosette:

A heart full of love

No fear, no regret

Marius: My name is Marius Pontmercy

Cosette: And mine's Cosette

Marius: Cosette, I don't know what to say

Cosette: Then make no sound

Marius: I am lost

Cosette: I am found! Marius: A heart full of light

Cosette: A night bright as day

Marius: And you must never go away

Cosette, Cosette

Cosette: This is a chain we'll never break

Marius: Do I dream?

Cosette: I'm awake! Marius: A heart full of love

Cosette: A heart full of you

Marius: A single look and then I knew

Cosette: I knew it too

Marius: From today

Cosette: Every day

Cosette & Marius

For it isn't a dream

Not a dream after all. Eponine: (Interjecting)

He was never mine to lose

Why regret what cannot be?

These are words he'll never say

Not to me...

Not to me...

Not to me...

His heart full of love

He will never feel this way...

*************end of flashback*************

About five minutes later Valjean came back with a small jar that had a few holes in it at the top. Valjean handed the jar to Marius and to their dismay it had no affect on Cosette what so ever. The next day Marius noticed that Cosette had developed a fever. She also had quite a bad cut on her head.

"How is she doing" asked Valjean coming into the room

"I'd like to say that she is doing great but she's not she has a fever. She also has quite a bad cut on her head." said Marius. Valjean waked over so Marius could show him where the cut was.

"I don't like the looks of this. I am going to go to get a doctor (a/n: and yes there were doctors back then because if you watch the movie you will see a doctor when Fantine is dieing)." Said Valjean. About an hour later Valjean came back with the doctor. After the doctor finished examining Cosette he turned to Marius and Valjean.

"Keep her body warm and her head cool." Said the doctor

"Thank you for coming doctor". Said Valjean walking him to the door as Marius pulled the blankets onto Cosette better. About two minutes Valjean came back in with a bole of water and a cloth. Valjean handed the cloth to Marius. The cloth was cold but not to cold. Marius dabbed the cloth on Cosette's head. Valjean walked over to the bed and put his hand on Cosette's head.

"At lest the fever is not to high." Said Valjean

***************************** The next day Cosette was still unisonous but her fever had gone down. Marius still hadn't eaten anything, changed his clothes, or gotten any sleep. Valjean had not gotten any sleep either. Marius was doing all he could to keep the fever down. At about noon Valjean came in with a fresh bole of water and a new cloth.

"Marius, I think the fever has broke." Said Valjean

"I think you are right." Said Marius checking for himself.
