"Susan, you look exhaust."
"Marcus. I'm fine. Have you conversed yesterday via telepathy with Emily?"
"Yes, she wanted, that I forgive her, that she hasn't got in contact with me formerly. I have said her, that I understand her feelings."
"That is good. Then she has found at least her peace."
"How do you mean that, Susan?" Marcus asked.
"Emily has died this evening in my quarter. I wanted to wake her in the morning, however she hasn't moved and I have found no pulse. Stephen couldn't do anything for her."
"Oh my God. Where's William now? I hope you haven't taken him with to work? You have your shift now, haven't you?"
"Yes I should really work now. I have asked Delenn, to pay attention to him. She has been happy and will care well for him. I only hope that EarthForce sends soon a representation for Corwin, or that he recovers quickly. I have no pleasure, to give Will every day to foreigners. I have now the responsibility for him."
"Delenn will pay attention to him and John is also there. He knows about the needs of human children. It will go well."
„I hope that also. But I still should be there for William in the first days. He will miss his mother. She was the most only person relate to him."
Susan noticed that somebody called her from the real world.
„Marcus, somebody is here, who wants to speak with me. I must leave you now unfortunately. Good improvement."
@@@@@
As Susan woke up, she saw the anxious face of Commander Lochley.
"Oh, Commander. Can I do something for you?"
"I wanted to remind you only that your shift is over."
"Oh, I have forgotten that completely. I can remember not at all that I have fallen asleep. Everything I wanted to make was to fill out some reports. Is there anything new from EarthForce because of a substitute?"
"Don't you like it here anymore?" Elisabeth said with a smile. "Up until now I have heard nothing, but on Earth is at the moment the bright chaos."
"Okay I must think about something I can do with William."
"Can't he stay with his mother?"
"His mother has died this morning. At the moment ambassador Delenn worries about the small."
"You will find a solution and I'm sure, that Corwin will soon be better."
"Thanks Commander. I finish now my shift and save Delenn."
Susan left the office and went to Delenn. As she opened the door, she saw, how William slept in the arms of John.
"As I see, both men have become friends already." Susan said softly, because she didn't want to wake the small.
"He didn't want to stop screaming with me. I have tried everything. Then John came, has taken him on the arm and he has fallen asleep. I have made something wrong."
"No, Delenn. You were great." John said. "If you consider that you have never paid attention to a human child before."
"With me he also didn't want to stop screaming on the first day. I hope, that he has already got used to me. Thank you that you have worried about him."
"It was fun. If you need in the next few days once more, I'm gladly ready to take him again. He's such a sweetie."
"Thanks Delenn, but I hope, that Earth sends soon a substitute for Corwin, or perhaps I can convince Stephen that he sends him formerly to the work again. William is now more important."
John was surprises to hear something like this from his former representative. Up until now for Susan had only been the military and Babylon 5 important. Susan stayed for dinner, after that she went with William who was woken up meanwhile to Stephen.
"Hello have you already some results?" Susan asked, as she entered Stephen's office.
"Oh, Susan. I have just gotten the results. It looks like she would have died on heart failure. At each other patient it would have amazed me that, however if you considers her disease, it is possible. She hadn't to suffer and had no large pains."
"Thanks Stephen. Does there is something new about Marcus? Can I visit him with the small?"
"Marcus condition hasn't changed measurably, but I think, that you both can see him."
Susan dismissed and went with William to Marcus' bed.
"William that is your uncle Marcus. He's still very sick, because he has saved my life, but I believe firmly that he will be soon healthy again and then he will worry about you lovely. He can tell you also very much about your father. He will love you like his own son. I know that he has always wished for children."
Susan sat with the child at his bed and took his hand. William grasped also after that and captured the index finger of Marcus with his small hand.
//Susan, are you just with me?\\, he asked telepathically.
//Yes and I'm not alone. William appears to like you; in any case he wants to release your finger no more. He is already friend with John.//
//How gladly would I be with you now. William must miss Emily awfully. I would help him so gladly. I know, how heavy it is, to lose a loved person.//
//Marcus, don't worry about this. I also know how heavy it is. I have lost my whole family. And some time ago I would have almost lost you, too. Now you have one more reason to come to me again. William needs you. You are now his only connection to his father. Only you can tell him, how your brother has been.//
//Yes, I will do this, as soon as he is old enough to understand. If we can tell him nothing about his mother, he should at least not forget his father.//
After approximately an hour Susan left Marcus, since the small became restless. She went in her quarter, bathed him and put him in his bed.
*Perhaps I can work now a bit.*, Susan thought.
She sat on the sofa and looked through her mail. There were some matters from the temple thereby. Susan looked quickly through them and decided to bring them to Lennier before her shift began tomorrow. It was nothing thereby, that required her attention. The other mail was nothing particular. A message of Commander Lochley which said, that Susan could take the next day free, if she had still problems with the child. A further message was from John and Delenn, which offered her to pay attention in the next few days for William. It was astonishing, how her friends worried about her and her problems. After she had looked through the mail, Susan took a shower and got herself ready for bed. However she wasn't yet wearily enough to sleep. She went again in the living room and perused some reports. In between she saw again and again after William. He looked so peacefully sleeping. Shortly before midnight Susan went to bed.
She dreamt. She was with Marcus on Minbar. He carried also a similar uniform like the one of the Amin'Sogan and not his dark ranger cloak. It appeared to be summer, for the plants and the meadows showed a young green. They took a walk hand in hand on a beach. At the beach where Jeff had his house. Then they met with John and Delenn, who had four children with them. Three appeared to be at the same age while one boy looked somewhat older. The children ran to the both of them. This dream was unlike the dreams she had with Marcus. They didn't converse and they didn't also feel his present so clearly. She appeared only to see the pictures, but to have no influence on the terms. It occurred her remarkably.
In the next morning she brought William to John and Delenn, who appeared to be happy about the visit. In C&C today the bright chaos ruled. Susan didn't even have once the chance to worry about William. There was once again a quarrel between the Narn and the Centauri. Vir wanted to help a Narn with something Susan hadn't understood yet. In any case it had led to uneasiness under the Centauri. They wanted no Narn - friend as ambassador. Susan had Vir and G'Kar put out the matter between them. Vir didn't appear to have much success, therefore Susan helped him.
"My dear friends, don't you think that you should make peace with each other, where we have endured together so much. Personally your emperor, Londo Mollari, marks the leader of the Narn, G'Kar as his friend. Don't you think that you can tolerate them and can help them a bit after what you have done them in the last decades? From some sympathy you won't die. I know, from what I speak. Too recently I also have thought only about me personally and now I have many friends, who help me and I help them, if I can. It's a good feeling to be needed. Try it once and you will know, about what I have spoken. And now I want to have no more problems between you and the Narn. Am I absolutely, perfectly clear on this??"
The gathered Centauri were speechless. Nobody trusted it, to contradict the great Captain Ivanova. Susan was content. She left the gathering and finished finally her shift. *However it is good, if you has a certain reputation on the station, even if everything isn't correct any longer!*, Susan thought on the way to the quarter of the President couple.
Susan picked up the small at Delenn and brought him in her quarter. There she lay him down for his afternoon nap. Susan wanted to eat something and dedicate herself then to her remaining work, as long as William slept.
Susan went in the kitchen and made some sandwich. She didn't feel well today. She had been exhausted already in the morning. Really she had hoped that it would improve after the first cup of coffee. However this wasn't the case. Now she felt worse than in the morning. Suddenly it became black before her eyes and she lost consciousness.
*Marcus, help me!*, was the last she could think.
Marcus lay in his room and let Stephen do once more his test with him, as he received a message of Susan. She sounded anxiously.
*Marcus, help me!*, she appeared to scream.
Marcus tried to set up a connection to her, but over none of the ways it was successful to him. He was anxious. His only possibility was Stephen. He tried to increase his heart frequency. It was successful to him. Stephen saw the increased deflection on his monitor and tried to find immediately the cause for it. There were none.
"Marcus, what's wrong with you? How can I help you?" Stephen asked loudly in the room.
//Something doesn't be correct with Susan. Help her!//, he sent the doctor a message.
It lasted something, until Stephen recognized, what just had happened. Ultimately he tried to reach Susan via her ComLink. As he got no answer, he went to her quarter. As she didn't open the door after same time, he used his status to override the code. He found Susan lying unconscious on the floor of her kitchen. He ran to her and took care of her. It didn't last long, until she came again to consciousness.
"What are you doing here, Stephen? How have you come in?" Susan asked as first.
"Marcus has sent me. Don't ask me how but in any case I suddenly had the feeling, that you could use my help. What has happened?"
"I don't know. I have come home after my shift, put William in his bed and wanted to make something to eat. Then it became dizzy around me and more I didn't know."
"Hmm, you should absolutely let yourself examine. It could be some gravity."
"Stephen, you are certainly worried without reason. It's certainly only the whole stress I have at the moment. It's much responsibility I have. William, the dream-chancer, the station. Everybody wants something from me and I have to make everything right. You will see, in a couple of days I'm my old self again."
"I still think you should let yourself examine. But nobody listens on me."
"I promise you, if I'm not feeling better in a couple of days, I will come to see you. Content?" Susan smiled at him.
"Okay."
Stephen went to his other patient again and Susan tried to work a bit. She still didn't feel well, but it was better than just half an hour ago. But how should she explain it to Marcus? He would be worried about her and that wouldn't surely improve his healing process. Susan avoided making further thoughts about it, what she would tell Marcus. She could do this later.
In the next morning Susan brought William to Delenn before her work started and gave Lennier some of her documents from the temple. On the bridge she met Commander Lochley, who had begun to work today also early.
"Oh, Captain Ivanova I have just received a message from Earth. They have sent this morning a representation for you with the first shuttle. He might arrive here in three to four days."
"That are very good news. Then I can finally take care of my other obligations."
Now Susan made her work immediately more fun, where she knew, that it would end soon. She noticed not at all, that she lost now and then the balance and had to cling to something so she didn't collapse. Shortly before the end of her shift she went in her office to write some reports. Few steps before she reached the desk, she became again dizzy and lost consciousness.
It passed approximately 40 minutes, until Commander Lochley found her. She notified immediately Stephen, who arrived a few minutes later in the office. He didn't need long, to get Susan to consciousness again.
"What are you doing here again, Stephen?"
"Commander Lochley has gotten me. You have collapsed again. Now there is nothing to discuss. I take you in MedLab and examine you. No objection."
"I can't! Who should worry about William?" Susan protested.
"I'm sure, that Delenn pays attention to him a couple of minutes longer."
Stephen went to the BabCom and opened a channel to Delenn.
"Ambassador is it okay with you, if William stays a couple of minutes longer. I would like to take Susan to the MedLab."
"Isn't she feeling well?" Delenn inquired anxiously.
"I can't say that yet."
"Of course I worry about the small. Tell her good improvement."
Stephen turned to Susan again. "No excuse more. You come with me and if I must you anesthetize previously!"
"Okay, you have won." Susan gave it a hit.
Together they walked the familiar way to the clinic. Stephen led Susan in an examining room and scanned her. As the results were there, he saw confuses on the scanner and scanned her once more. He came to the same result again. He got a further hand scanner and tried his luck once more. Again the same result.
What do you think so far? Please R&R.
