Waking Up:
Morgan sat up with a jolt; she could feel Hunter do the same thing next to her. It was as if she had woken up after a long strange, yet very real dream. Except she knew that it wasn't a dream. 'At least I don't think it was' she thought.
She looked over at Hunter; and even though it was really dark in the room she could see him perfectly, it was as if he was glowing. He was drenched in sweat, just like she was. But something was different, he looked so much younger 'he looks like he did 16 years ago', she thought with a shock. It definitely hadn't been a dream, they really did go back it time.
They both sat there, breathing hard, thinking about what had just happened. Hunter was the first to break the hard, weird silence. "When is it? I mean what year and day do you think it is?"
Morgan replied with the absolute truth "I have no idea, and I am not sure I want to either." But even as she said this she pushed the covers off her and climbed out of the bed they had woken up in, searched for and clicked the light switch. Light flooded the room, and Morgan gasped. She knew what day it was, for she knew this room. She had never forgotten the look of this room; because it had been the last place she had seen Hunter, it had been where they had made love for the last time, it was where they had said their last goodbyes and love you's on that dreadful morning. Morgan had never forgotten that morning, and here they where again, about to relive it.
She was able to calm herself down by thinking about how they could change the outcome this time, so that everything was back to the way it was supposed to be. Morgan looked over at the clock; it was 3 am, a little under 5 hours before Hunter had left for the ferry. She walked back over to the bed, and got under the covers, as hunters strong arms wrapped around her. She turned to look at him, admirering his handsome features.
"Well I guess that answers my question" He said with a small smile, it seemed that he hadn't forgotten this room either. His arms tightened around her, and she leaned farther into him.
"So what do we do know?" she said with a long sigh, "I feel so confused"
"Me too, as for what we do next, well we will have to figure out how to change things. I still have to be on that ferry, because this mysterious person said that's how it happened in the first place. Maybe I can help save these people and fight Iona's trap at the same time."
"No, that's up to me, you have to turn your full attention to helping those poor people, as you would have done if Iona hadn't gone back in time."
When Hunter started to protest, she put a finger to his lips, quieting him instantly. "I may not be as strong now as I am in the future but neither is Iona, I can handle her again, and if I'm lucky she won't find out we are on to her. You have to trust me on this. Okay?" she said this while looking at him intensely in the eyes. He new that determined look on her face. No matter what he said, there was no changing her mind on this subject.
"Okay, we'll go out a little bit early to look upon are battlefield and make the final plans, but for now I think we both need rest, if I remember correctly we had a long night." He said this last statement with a mischievous smile. Morgan couldn't help it she had to smile back, for even under the most straining conditions, Hunter could always make her feel happy.
All of a sudden the smile was replaces with a look of shock. Morgan looked down at her stomach. Hunter was confused at first, but then he heard her whisper "Moira" and he understood.
