Okay, here we go (: This is again short but Episode 4 was very intense. It was a bittersweet episode but I think at this point Barbie really started to show feelings.

Romantic in Denial, knuckles99heidi, yas-m, maricejayo: thank you guys for the reviews! I loved them and I hope you are going to like this small scene too (:

What do you know?

(S01x04 – Part 2/5)

It seemed danger and disasters were now a constant part of their everyday under the dome. Once they solved one issue another popped up. Just like now. Barbie was in the hospital and it didn't take a genius to figure out some kind of flue broke out in the town and now more and more people were filling the rooms of the small hospital. They all had the same symptoms, fever and headache. To make himself useful he was carrying camp beds from the storage to the floors of the hospital as in no time all the beds were occupied by sick people. He and Junior were on their second round when he saw Julia sitting on one of the seats. He wasn't sure which one of them was more surprised to see each other there. Julia jumped on her feet the moment she saw him but her eyes were not bright with her usual mischievous.

"What are you doing here?" She snapped her eyes narrowing at him.

"Linda got sick, so Jim and I brought her in." He answered. "Why? What are you doing here?" he asked now worried. She was having headaches in the morning. Was she sick?

"I just brought in a friend of yours – Phil Bushey."

That made him stop dead in his track. Now her anger made sense. Somehow she found out he wasn't completely honest with her. The question was, how much and what she knew. Barbie felt another pair of eyes on them and he looked up at Junior. He was looking at him with a smirk on his face enjoying way too much that he was in trouble.

"Go on up ahead. I'll uh… I will catch up with you." He sent the younger boy on his way. He was the last person Barbie wanted to hear any potential fight. Once Junior left them he looked hesitantly at Julia. She was watching him like a hawk with narrowed eyes.

"If you have never been to Chester's Mill before, how do you know Phil?" She shot the question at him immediately.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." Barbie said shaking his head. There was no way she could have found out. He was extra careful not to get near to Phil, the DJ could not have seen or recognized him anywhere. Maybe she was bluffing.

That was when she pulled something from her pocket. His map… The map where he marked the point he was meeting with Phil to get the money he owned. Damn it.

"So you went through my stuff?" He asked back challenging her.

"You lied to me about having a fight with Junior Rennie, so, yeah, I thought I would check up on maybe what else you lied about." She hissed at him.

This conversation had to end, Barbie decided. He didn't want to say anything until he knew exactly what that fucking DJ told Julia. Did she know who he was? Did she know about Peter? He couldn't talk with her until he knew exactly what she found out. So instead of answering any of her questions he passed by her and started to walk away. But she was not giving up… she was following him.

"You own me an explanation." She said, her voice broke a bit and she was breathing heavily. "Barbie, just tell me the truth!"

The truth… it was exactly what he could not tell her. Because the truth was he killed a man… he killed her husband and if she would have found out…

"Whoa, whoa!" Alice's voice drifted his way suddenly and made him turn in worry. Julia was leaning against the wall, her eyes unfocused due to fever and she could barely stand on her feet. His body urged him to go back, to help her but he made a fist and closed his eyes.

"I am okay, I just have a headache." Julia said stubbornly when it was evident she was anything but okay.

Barbie sat his jaw and forced himself to move away. It was better this way. It was just a flue, they were in a hospital, she will get antibiotics and she will be better in a few hours. And within those few hours she will be in bed and he would have the time to look for the damn ass Phil and find out what exactly she knew and if he still had a chance to explain himself. Funny how he only wanted to leave her up until now and now the only thing he did not want, was leaving her. And he was ready to do anything for that. Even if it meant walking away from her when she was sick and hoping with all his heart that she was safe here in the hospital, surrounded by nurses and trusting Alice that she would heal her until he could come back and explain himself. He just needed a bit of time to find out how and what he exactly needed to explain.

This wasn't that easy to write. I don't like Jarbie fighting but I think this was an important step in their relationship and I always wondered why Barbie just walked away. If Julia would have gotten sick like this in Season 2 I am pretty sure none could have made Barbie walk away like this. So I think at this point Barbie was still a bit his old self, trying to cover up what he did but at the same time somehow keep Julia close.

So let me know what you think!
