Hunter lay in his bed. A small trash can next to the bed. It had only been a few hours earlier that he had been having a wonderful dinner of fish and chips with his family. Alwyn was still shy around Their da,but she was coming around. Her smiles and laughter came more easily.
Daniel was happy to be renuited with his daughter,and being around the family he had been exiled from for so long,had been a good healing therapy. A round of intense cramps seized his stomach,and he moaned.Goddess! He at first had wondered if the fish he had eaten had been bad,but no one else had seemed to suffer ill effects.
A soft hand smoothed back his hair,and Hunter found himself looking into his aunt Shelagh's kind and worried eyes. She spoke to him,"Well,lad.Are ye feeling any better?" Hunter shook his head no. She smiled and said," I've brought ye some tea to settle your stomach,and I've spelled it so you'll sleep 'till morning. We'll let this run its course tonight,and see how ye feel in the morning. If you're not any better we'll send for Brigid. She's a good healer,and a certfied doctor to boot! Don't worry,You're home and safe. I'll let no harm come to ye." She paused,then continued,"I'm glad ye found your da,but never forget Hunter,as i'm concerned,you're as close to me heart as one of me own."
Hunter had sit up to drink the tea,and he set it aside as sleep began to softly creep upon him. He smiled at his Aunt,thankful for her gentle words. It was good to know that here he was safe. Here he could be sick,and trust that all here would make sure that no harm came to him,while he was unable to care for himself. As sleep enfolded him He gave thanks to The Goddess that his family cared for him so much.

Morgan sipped the cup of valerain tea,that was to help ease the cramps. Eiofe was right. With the herbal mixture she had been given,It had been no worse than a heavey and painful menstrul cycle. Morgan felt some guilt at tthe decision to end the life within her,and even a little more that she had not let Hunter know what she had done. Most of all,she felt a sense of relief. Her parents would never know,niether would Hunter. She had decided to put this behind her,and be much more careful,now aware that things could change in a moment. Her studies here were going well,and she would see Hunter on a free weekend she was having soon. She had done this for both of them. Hunter wasn't ready to be a father. Even though they loved each other,this had happened to soon. She knew if he found out,he would be mad,maybe even hurt. For now she would keep the knowladge from him.One day,she would tell him,just not now.That made her decision not to tell him easier.Morgan sighed and stood up,wincing at her cramps.She considered calling Hunter,But she knew he would pick up on any pain she felt.She would wait,and call in a day or so. One day she would tell him,when she would knew that he would understand.
The next day

Strange voices woke Hunter. His head felt heavy,and his mouth very dry. and he felt....Empty.He conidered it for a moment then made his way to the kitchen whre the voices were coming from.he i dentified his Aunt Shelaghs'voice:
"I just don't know,Brigid,I was powerful concerned about him last eve.I had to give him twice the amount I felt comfortable with,for him to rest,and still he moaned half the night in his sleep!"
Hunter could only assume the Second Female voice belonged To Brigid.
"There was no fever you say? Hmmm.... How is he this morning?"
"He was resting when I last checked on him,as if he hadn't spent the night fighting darkness."
"I don't know,Shelagh. He seems to be a strong lad,so I wouldn't worry too much. Some times we may never know the reasons that thease things occur."
Hunter walked on into the kitchen. His Aunt smiled,"So the dead has risen. How do you feel?" Hunter managed a half smile,"I feel better." The lady,who was Brigid,stood and walked to him. She looked at him quizicly. She ran thru the normal quick exam,checking his eyes,ears,throat. she ran her hands over the glands in his neck,and felt his cheast,checking his breathing. she stood away and gave her report,"well,with the health I find you in now,I predict you have another 70 years or so to live." Hunter and his Aunt smiled. Hunter decided to forgo his morning tea and have some orange juice. He had been pronounced healthy,but why he wondered,did he feel he was missing a peice of himself?What was the reason?
A/N: Dum da dummmmmm....what will happen when morgan and Hunter meet for the weekend? Based on reviews the story continues. Please R&R!
