Part 23 of 36
"Stephen, what is going on?" Susan asked impatiently.
"Susan, is there perhaps something, you would like to tell me?"
"Stephen, I don't know what you talk about and now leave the games."
"I think I was deceived in you! We were deceived all in you! I have thought, Marcus would mean something to you!"
"What are you talking about, Stephen?" Susan wanted to know.
"How could you only do this? Marcus loves you and you cheat him, during he gives everything to become healthy! You are simply disgusting!"
"Stop, Stephen! What are you talking about? I haven't cheated Marcus and I will never cheat him! I love him!"
"Then please explain me, why you are pregnant! The result is clear! I have examined it three times! Always the same!!!."
Susan faded. As she had overcome the shock, she got up and paced the room.
"I will kill him! First I will find any way to get him from the coma and then I will kill him very slowly and agonizingly! How can he only dare it?"
"Susan, who is the father?"
"Marcus, who else! I will kill him! I swear I will kill him, if he has woken up!"
"How should Marcus been in the position to procreate a child with you? He lies since more than three months in coma and you are just 6 weeks along! It isn't medically possible!"
"I will kill him, this bastard!" Susan scolded.
"Susan, please calm down! Can you now explain me please, how it has come to it?"
"Argg... We have slept together, in a dream. I wanted to wait, until he is real with me. It was his first time. But he didn't want to wait any longer."
"You have slept together in your dreams with each other. Many persons are doing this and they don't get pregnant. There is no way this could happen! There is simply no way!"
"I know also no other explanation. Marcus was the only man since several months."
"But it can't be possible! It doesn't go! There is no scientific explanation for it!" Stephen said unbelieving.
"I will find it out and if I know it, I will kill him completely slowly. How can he only do that to me?"
Susan was disconcerted from this news. However she believed to know a way, how she could find out the truth about it. However she had to be alone to do it. Susan went in her quarter and opened a channel to Delenn .
"Hello Delenn. I have a big request to you."
"Susan, is everything okay with you? What can I do for you?"
"Is it okay for John and you, if William remains tonight with you? I pick him up tomorrow morning. I have to settle something important and must be alone for it. It's urgent otherwise I wouldn't ask you for it."
"No, Susan. It is okay with us. Take as long as you need. If there is something, about you want to talk or I can help you, let me know!"
"I have to thank Delenn, but I must go through this alone. See you tomorrow."
Susan closed the connection and sat on the sofa.
"Jeffrey Sinclair, get your sorry ass immediately to me! I must talk to you." Susan almost screamed. She hoped that Jeffrey would hear her call this time again.
It lasted, but after somewhat patient wait Valen emerged in Susan's living rooms.
"You have called me, Susan. What can I do for you?"
"I want an explanation. You have written in your book, that you can see in the future. Have you known that before?" Susan was incensed.
"What are you talking about, my friend?"
"I'm pregnant."
"Congratulations.", Jeff said kindly.
"Have you known it previously and can you please explain me, how that could happen?"
Jeffrey smiled. "I had suspected something like that but because of the medical procedure you must speak with Stephen. I'm only a poor Jesuit - priest, who is now a saint among the minbari."
"Jeffrey! Marcus is in coma!!! How can he be in the position, to procreate a child with me? We have only dreamt that we are making love. Therefore it can't be true. Stephen must be wrong."
"Susan, I have told you, that the dream-chancer have very much force. Marcus and you, you both are the strongest among the dream-chancer. You have unexpected powers. This one belongs also to them. Marcus and you both have founded a family, a new generation of dream-chancer."
"But how should I do that all alone. As it looks now, it will still last years, until Marcus is healthy again. I have so many tasks. William, the responsibility of the dream-chancer, the work in the temple, to observe the education and then an own child. However I never wanted to have children."
"Susan, you will be a wonderful mother. I promise you that. And I can also say that you will find a way, that Marcus supports you at everything."
"But how? Can't you tell me, what I must do, so that he comes to me?"
"No Susan, I have said you already too much. Say hello to the others from me, especially Delenn and John."
With these words Valen/Jeffrey Sinclair disappeared. Susan leaned back and thought. How could she get Marcus from the coma? Everything Stephen had tried up until now had been unsuccessful. Why should just she find a way to rouse him? In her considerations she forgot totally, to leave her walls down. In this way she had held Marcus since her first breakdown away.

"Finally I reach you Susan. What was the matter?" Marcus asked anxiously.
"Marcus. I have just no time."
"Susan, I want to know, what the matter is! I have the right to it."
"You have quite no rights, you bastard!!!" Susan screamed at him.
Marcus was frightened from her outbreak. "Properly I made somewhat wrong? Doesn't be something correct?"
"Excuse me. I'm sorry. I have just learned something that I must digest first. I shouldn't leave out my anger at you. It doesn't do your condition good. Can you pardon me?"
"Susan, I love you. Nothing you do can divert me from it. What was wrong with you? I was worried about you."
"I'm fine, thank you. Stephen says it is nothing."
"That quiets me. You should rest a bit. Do you have to make still representation for Corwin?"
"Yes, but not much longer. Commander Lochley has informed me early today that EarthForce sends a substitute. Tomorrow I won't go to work so I can spend the day with William."
"That is good. Rest now. I love you."
@@@@@
Susan went to bed. She dreamt again. This time she was with Marcus on Babylon 5. Both stood before their friends. She could also see Brother Theo. Susan wore a white dress that was a bit narrow over her baby-belly. Susan didn't know what all this had to mean. In any case one thing was her clear. That, what she dreamt, hadn't yet happened and Marcus didn't appear to see these thinks too because she didn't feel his presents with her.
In the next morning Susan went first to Commander Lochley to take the offered free day. She had already thought that Susan would take the offer after she had been brought yesterday in MedLab by Stephen. Naturally she wanted to know, what was wrong with her.
"It's nothing bad. Dr. Franklin says that I'm missing a pair of important vitamins and other nutrients, which have led to the breakdown. He has prescribed me somewhat for it and I feel already much better." she lied.
"That is good. If you aren't in the position to work in the next few days, I will understand, besides the representation comes soon. I would only be very pleased, if you take then yourself a bit of time and will show the new one everything. I think you are the best choice for it."
"Surely I will do this. I report tomorrow morning, whether I assume your offer. Have a nice day."
Then Susan went to Delenn and John.
"Susan, you are you feeling better? What has Stephen said?" Delenn wanted to know.
Susan told her the equal she had told Commander Lochley. She wasn't yet ready to speak with her friends about her condition. She first had to come personally on terms with it. Delenn consisted on it, that Susan breakfasted at them. Although she wasn't very hungry, she stayed.
"By the way I should greet you from Jeffrey Sinclair!" Susan said completely simply. Delenn and John chocked almost at their meal.
"How could he tell you that? He has disappeared into the past and builds just my race on!" Delenn asked.
"I have spoken last night with him. He is also a dream-chancer and we can call ourselves mutually. At least it always works with me. It was already the second time now, that he has shown up on my calling."
"About what have spoken?" the both wanted to know.
"About me and Marcus. Jeff is the opinion, that I will find a way, to get Marcus from the coma. I'm not so sure. Why should just I, an officer of EarthForce find a remedy, where however our doctor has tried already everything in vain since months?"
"You have the ability to it, because you love him, Susan. Love is stronger than everything else. You see it at me. My love of Delenn has kept me alive on Z'ha'dum. Without the love of her, I wouldn't sit here now. I'm sure, that you find a way."
"Thanks John that has given me courage. I only hope that I won't disappoint you all. And that it's successful in time."
After the meal Susan went with William in her quarter and put him to sleep. Susan sat on her sofa and settled some work from the temple. Lennier was her a large help, but there were things he could not take off her. Susan had to examine some tests, which the future rangers had to make. They should help to find new dream-chancer among the rangers, since only rangers could concur with the dream-chancer.
The work was very tiring and since Susan had not slept especially well in the last night because of these remarkable dreams, she fell asleep over her work again.
She dreamt again. This time she was in MedLab, where Marcus lay. However she wasn't alone. Almost the whole command was present. Also many she hadn't seen already since several months.
And there was still something else... Something frightening... Something that had brought her and Marcus in this almost hopeless situation in the first place...
What do you think? Please R&R.
