AN: I know the medicine and stuff is a little bit of a reach, but I kind of just blended real life with the treatment Jason Morgan got on GH. Bare with me guys, and just try to act like it would happen. -Danielle

Bad memories

JR watched Babe toss and turn in her bed. It had been a couple hours since the drug had been administered. Babe so far had cried, and screamed. At one point she had to be restrained because she was thrashing so hard. JR guessed that was probably when she was fighting to get to her baby, or when Paul had told her that her child was dead. The doctor had come back in later when Babe had calmed down and thought about removing the restraints, but then decided against it in case of another attack.

JR could barely watch Babe go through all of this. It took all he had to ask the doctor to get it to stop, and he almost left but he remembered he had promised Babe he would stay with her.

JR heard her cry out his name, and he got up and went to her bed, brushed her hair away from her face. She was damp with sweat and tears. JR grabbed for her pin downed hand and held it tightly, willing that whatever pain she was in would pass. She was whimpering, and crying.

"I'm so sorry I made you do this." He leaned down and kissed her hand, and she cried out again, "I am so sorry."

Bianca walked into the room and saw JR holding Babe's hand, and walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Why don't you go and take a break? You have been here for hours, you have to be starving." Bianca said quietly.

"No, I'm fine. I promised her I wouldn't go." JR explained.

"It's just for a little while. It's my turn to have some time with her." Bianca said, "Besides, Jamie, Krystal and David are in the waiting room, wanting to know what is going on."

JR nodded and stood up, and gave Babe one last look before he walked out of her room.

Bianca sat on the chair that JR was just occupying and looked and Babe and sighed. Babe had stopped crying and was now just sitting there peacefully. You would have thought nothing had happened if I hadn't been for the tear marks on her cheeks.

"Oh Babe, you couldn't have just gotten back together with JR could ya? No, you had to go and get in a car accident and go through all this first." Bianca said teasingly.

Bianca looked down, not knowing what else to say, "You better get through this Babe."

JR walked back out into the waiting room, seeing everyone sitting there.

"I'm sorry I didn't come out earlier, I was with Babe and..." JR started.

"No need to explain JR, Bianca told us most of what happened." Jamie said.

"How is she?" Krystal asked.

JR sighed, "Its taking a toll on her. Some of her more painful memories are coming up, and I can tell it's really hard on her."

David looked grim, "I have heard of this treatment, and it is pretty new. Have they had any success cases?"

"The Doctor said that there were, and he seemed really hopeful." JR told them.

"That's good then." Jamie said cheerily.

"Krystal, Babe is a fighter and she won't give up easily. And we can't give up on her." JR told Krystal.

Krystal nodded, "I won't ever give up on my baby doll. Can I see her?"

"Bianca is with her now, but If you want to the doctor did say it was OK." JR informed her.

Krystal walked to JR and hugged him tightly, and then pulled back, "Thank you for being there for my daughter."

"I could never leave her." JR said.

Krystal then walked out of the waiting room and Jamie said, "I am going to see Bianca."

JR and David watched Jamie go, and JR went to walk away but David stopped him.

"JR?" David called.

JR turned and looked back at David, "Yeah?"

"Listen, I... I may not like you, but I know my daughter loves you. And I haven't forgotten the things you have done to her, but I know you love her. And I am glad that you are doing what you can for her." David said.

"All I'm doing is standing around doing nothing." JR said hopelessly.

"No, you are here talking to her and giving her your support. You have barely left her side in the past week. Now why don't you go home and see your son? I bet he misses his father, and now that his mother can't see him, he needs all the love his father can give." David explained.

JR looked at David and nodded, and then went back to Babe's room. He saw Jamie, Bianca and Krystal standing outside of Babe's door, talking. Krystal looked like she was about to enter.

"Wait a second Krystal, just let me say goodbye to her. I'm going to go home for a little while and see our son." JR stopped her.

"OK..." Krystal said, stepping away from the door.

JR walked inside the room, and saw Babe lying in her bed, sleeping soundly. There was a small smile on her face.

Finally, something good is happening, JR thought, relieved.

He went to the side of her bed and kissed her on her forehead, "I'll be back soon, sweetheart. I am going to go and see our son. I'll give him your love."

With one last kiss JR grabbed his coat and left the room. He said his goodbyes to the crowd outside Babe's door, and the Krystal walked in, wanting to see her daughter.
