A/N: hey, sorry it's been a few days since I updated, and that is so unlike me! :oP But I don't think the e-mail alerts have been working for a few days, cuz I haven't gotten any updates or alerts for like days, but I got a few today so I guess it's fixed. Anyways, here's the next chapter....

*******************************************************

The small bed shook and the headboard hit the wall, again and again. Wilson sighed and covered his ears. But he still heard it. Finally he couldn't take it anymore, "Mary!" he whispered loudly, "please go get some water!"

Mary didn't move, "no I'm *hic* holding my breath"

"Well its obviously not working!"

She hiccupped again and the bed hit the wall. "Mary please," Wilson pleaded, "I can't sleep. And I don't want you to wake anyone up! Plus, this doesn't exactly sound lovely."

"Oh come on Wilson, *hic* were married"

"In your parents house?" he argued, "come on, that's just wrong"

"I'm *hic* not getting up" she said rebelliously

Wilson put his foot on her back, "I swear Mary I will kick you out of this bed"

"Fine fine" she said throwing the covers back.

She tiptoed down the stairs from the attic bedroom trying to hold in her noisy hiccups. She was heading for the kitchen stairs when she heard voices in the living room. And of course she couldn't resist some late-night spying. She sat at the top of the stairs with her hands over her mouth.

Simon and Cecilia were still in the living room. It was 3:30 in the morning, and Mary assumed she had left hours ago. She couldn't make out what they were saying, but she squinted in the dark to try and see what was going on.

Cecilia looked like she was crying. Simon put his hand on her cheek and wiped her tears with his thumbs. He pressed his forehead against hers and said something that Mary thought sounded like, "no one knows, I promise it will be ok" then they kissed quickly. Cecilia nodded and settled into Simon's arms.

Mary completely forgot that she was supposed to be quiet, and she hiccupped loudly. Simon looked up at the stairs, Mary jumped up and ran for the kitchen stairs, hiccupping loudly on purpose, as if she had never seen or heard anything.

When she reached the stairs she walked down them slowly and sleepily. She as she reached the cabinet to get a glass, Simon entered the kitchen.

"Mary?" he said, "why are you up?"

She looked as him innocently, "I have the hiccups and Wilson kicked me out," She looked him right in the eye, "what about you?"

"Oh," Simon said, he was still in his clothes and there was no way he could fake anything like not being able to sleep, so he told the truth, "me and Cecilia are still talking, you know I haven't seen her in two years. We've got a lot to talk about."

Mary quietly sipped her water trying to hold back all of the things she wanted to say to him. She just shrugged.

"You know nothing's going on," Simon said, "She has a boyfriend"

Mary snapped then, "and you have a fiancé!" she slammed the glass on the counter," do you think she's that stupid Simon? Do you think any of us are this stupid?" she walked closer to him, "I saw you kiss her!"

Simon pleaded with his sister, "Mary, please . . . "he hesitated, "I can't tell you what's going on!"

Mary scowled, "well you better tell Tristan, and if you don't I will"

And with that she disappeared up the stairs, leaving Simon standing in the kitchen to figure out how he was going to fix this.
