Darth Ergo- thanks for reviewing and the compliment, I was told while ago by some stranger I had a gift of story telling I guess it's because I tend to lie a lot and I'm good at coming up with excuses and stories on the spot. LOL!

To all- thank you all again from reviewing and taking time out of your days to do so. Please continue to tell me how I'm doing and I hope you all enjoy my story.


Evy lay in bed still motionless and unconscious; Rick sat in a chair next to her and held her hand, as if to offer comfort. In the far corner Jonathan stood waiting the moment his sister would open her eyes and rejoin the awakening world. Sitting by a window looking out, Saron sat thinking and daydreaming, as Ashley sat in a chair reading some book she found.

Three days had passed and Evy had been in her unconscious state of mind since then, they had all tried talking to her in hopes of her waking up, but she still remained in the same position as when she had arrived, only now her face had a few bruises, and her arms had a few scars and little scraps, but the blood was long gone.

The room had been quiet for an hour when a stirring and grumbling sound could be heard. Everyone looked to the bed to see Evy opening her eyes and taking the room in. Saron looked to her and followed her gaze to the roses in a vase clear across the room, roses Rick had gotten the day before.

As Evy opened her eyes she realized the room was white and smelled of cleaning supplies and medication. As her memory returned she remembered she was in a hospital and she began to look around to see who was there.

As her eyes adjusted to the brightness of the room she found her brother, friends and husband staring at her as if she'd just waken from the dead. As they starred down at her she realized in the 2 minutes she'd been awake not a word had been spoken, so she broke the silence.

"Where's my baby?" she asked politely looking from confused face to confused face.

"What baby?" Ashley asked a few minutes after when nobody said a word.

"My child, the one I gave birth to? Was it a boy or girl?" she asked smiling, but her smile faded as she starred at everybody and saw how serious they were.

"I'm going to get the doctor." Rick said getting up and heading to the door, letting go of her hand in the process.

"Darling, wait." She called trying to grab for him. Her term of endearment caused him to turn to her and give her an odd look. He then turned back around and left the room.

A few minutes later he returned with a nurse in tow and she began to check around, making sure everything was alright. She then left the room and soon a doctor entered.

"Hello, Evelyn." He said smiling at her.

"Hello, Dr. Shawman." She said smiling to her doctor who she'd known since she was a child.

"How are you feeling?" he asked walking up to her, checking her temperature and pulse.

"I'm fine. My head hurts a little though." She said rubbing the place where it hurt most.

"That's normal, just stay in bed and rest I'll be back in a few hours to check up on you." he said heading towards the door.

"Dr. Shawman, where is my baby? I can't seem to find it." She asked looking around.

"Your baby?" he asked walking back in the room starring at her confused.

"Yes, my child."

"Evy, you have no child. I'm sorry, but I didn't even know you were married, your records still say your Ms. Carnahan." He walked over to her and showered her the file he had.

"Thank you doctor, that's all. I think I'll talk to her." Saron spoke and ushered him out. "You guys I think maybe I should talk to her alone."

"Ok, I'll go and get some clothes from the house." Ashley said leaving the room.

"I'll go with you." Jonathan said following her out.

"I'll be outside in the waiting room if you need me." Rick said walking out as well.

Once they had all left, Saron walked to the door and closed it. She then turned and walked over to her friend.

"Ok, what's with all this…baby stuff?" she asked sitting in the chair Rick had occupied earlier.

"I just want my baby." She said tears threatening to fall.

"Evy, there is no baby, there never was."

"I was giving birth before I passed out."

"No, before you passed out, you were close to being raped." Came the brutal truth.

"What?"

"We found you in Big Ben three nights ago; you've been unconscious since then. That guy Luke was trying to rape you."

"Then it was all a dream?" she asked confused, dreading the truth, where she had been she was happy and felt safe.

"I guess so, there is no child. What did you dream?"

"That I was married to Rick and we were going to have a child. I was happy." She whispered as she began to cry, the tears fell from her eyes and Saron held her friend close.

"It's ok, I'm sorry, but it was all a dream you must have been sleeping. Rick and you haven't seen each other in over 2 months."

"Why did he come back?" she asked forgetting her dreams and remembering the truth.

"He said he knew about Lisa and how she wanted you dead because she still loved him. He knew you were in danger and had to stay back in Egypt when you left. He came back to save you." She explained remembering everything Rick had told her.

"I almost died because he had some jealous ex-girlfriend?" Evy asked as tears poured from her eyes.

"Yes, but he loves you." Saron said hugging her close.

"Can I just be alone?" Evy asked pushing away.

"Sure, I'll go." Saron mumbled getting up and leaving the room.

Outside she approached Rick and began to explain.

"She was dreaming. She had a dream she was married and had a child. It was too real for her."

"Can I go see her?" he asked knowing he had to tell her how he felt, whether or not she liked it.

"No. maybe later, but she just kicked me out, she needs time."

Rick nodded and sat back down in his chair. An hour passed when Ashley and Jonathan came back and they all started talking while Evy sat in her room alone.

It was all a dream. None of it was real. Evy sat at the window looking out at the falling rain thinking things over. She began to wonder if she had heard Saron right when she heard her and Rick arguing over him still loving her. She hated to admit it, but she never got over him. She knew she loved him and for that she felt weak for not begin able to get over him with the way he hurt her.

An hour and a half had passed when she kicked Saron out and the door opened, Rick stood there look at her and smiled.

"Hi." He whispered.

"Hello." She whispered back.

"May I come in?"

"Sure."

He walked in, grabbed a chair and brought it close to her so he was sitting at her side.

"I love the rain." She mumbled.

"So I've noticed." He chuckled as she placed her hand to the window and smiled.

"Can we go stand in it?" she asked looking to him, her eyes wide with wonder.

"Only if we can talk afterwards." He said getting up and taking her hand.

"Of course." She said and followed him out of her room and down the hall to a door that lead outside.

Neither knew what would be said or what would happen, but they both knew the need to talk had finally risen.


Well how was that? Please review and let me know. Thanks
