Looooooove you!

"Wanda will you please sit down already!" Mel was sitting on my bed in mine and Ian's cave, waiting for them to come back. "Wanda it will be FINE. Everything will be fine. Ian is going to take one look into your eyes and he is going to fall in love you all over again. I mean how can he not. Look at yourself, you're smokin'!" I smiled at her enthusiasm but I just couldn't seem to share her confidence. "Wanda, he'll love you just the same. Plus you said he could barely kiss you in the last body without feeling like a pedophile! Who knows, in this one you might get to do a whole lot more." She winked at me and I couldn't help but laugh. It was a relief that my face didn't turn bright red at the talk of sex. Melanie was right; this body was a hell of a lot better than the old one.

"I hope you're right Mel… about him being ok with it I mean. Not that the other part would be bad … not like I wouldn't want to… I mean… oh shut up!" she was giggling uncontrollably now, but she had accomplished her goal of making me laugh. I sat down next to her but we both stopped laughing instantaneously when we heard people running down the hallway. Jared burst through the door closely followed by Ian. My heart stopped and my stomach was in my throat.

"Melanie, what the hell is going on?!" Ian practically shouted. "Where is Wanda and why won't anybody give me an answer?!" He was right in front of Mel and he pulled her up grabbing her by the shoulders. He didn't seem to notice me but Jared, on the other hand, couldn't stop staring at me.

"Ian." Jared kept his gaze locked on me. "Ian! Open you're freaking eyes!" He walked over to were Ian had a grip on Mel and pointed directly at me. I stood up and walked to the other side of Mel and placed my hand on Ian's. He loosened his hold on Melanie and looked me in the eyes.

"Come on, let's go get some breakfast." Melanie and Jared left the room, leaving Ian and I staring at each other."

"Wanda?" he seemed so confused and it was almost heartbreaking.

"Yea it's me. There was an accident just after you left and we had no choice."

He moved so that his body was facing me and lifted my chin with his finger. I was up to his shoulder now; as opposed to his waist. With his other hand he pushed a strand of hair out of my face, trailing heat across my face. "It's just hard to adjust to this again…"

I tried as hard as I could to keep the pain of rejection off of my face but it came through in my voice. "Of course. If…if you need some… time I… I understand I-" I was quickly shut up by Ian's lips crushing onto mine. He kissed me with more force and passion than he ever had in Pet's body or Mel's body combined. Because this really was me. This body was meant for me, and for Ian. We just fit perfectly.

He moved his lips from mine and started trailing kisses down my neck and over my shoulder. "Ian…" I whispered, wrapping my fingers in his hair. "I love you so much."

"I love you Wanda," he breathed onto my lips. "I love you so much"

Ian lifted me up and lowered me down onto the mattress. He hovered over me kissing every inch of me, driving me out of my mind. Clothing was lost until we were both sitting in our under garments. Things probably would have progressed to more than just kissing but voices and foot steps in the hallway interrupted us.

"Jamie No! Get back here! Leave them alone!" Someone hissed quietly-Mel I was sure.

"I think we better go, before we're interrupted." I breathed to Ian.

"Ugh do we have to. I like it right here." He wiggled himself a little closer to me-which I didn't think was possible.

"Haha I do too but we really should get up." With one more kiss we both got up and got our cloths on. As I reached for the door knob to go out and face the rest of our world, Ian's hands were suddenly on my hips and his lips were on my neck. "Ian…" I warned breathlessly.

"I know. We're leaving. I just want to give a little taste of what will come. If you want it…" his suggestion made me laugh a little; it also made me almost melt with the idea of what he meant. I turned around so that I was facing him and placed my hands on his chest, while his hands still rested on my hips.

"Why, Ian. Are you trying to Seduce me?" I played along.

"That depends," He smirked, and pulled his face closer to mine, so there was about half an inch in between our lips. "Is it working?" and he kissed me, moving his lips against mine intently.

I pulled back so our lips weren't touching, but I stayed as close as I could. "Jerk." I laughed, gave him a quick kiss, and turned and walked down the hallway, with my hand enclosed in his.

When we walked into the kitchen, everyone reacted as if nothing had happened.

"Wanda you're up!" Jamie came running towards me and gave me a big hug. "I tried to go wake you guys up for breakfast but Mel wouldn't let me." I looked over to Mel, who was wrapped in Jared's arms, and she winked at me.

"Well we're up now so what's for lunch?" I smiled down to him and smoothed his hair. Even though I wasn't in his sisters' body anymore, I still loved him like a brother, and the smile that flashed across his face when he looked up at me reassured me that he loved me in the same way.

"Come on! We've got lots of good food from the raid. Sunny brought us McDonalds too, but it might be a little cold because SOMEONE took forever to get up today!"

Jamie led us over to the table where there were two McDonalds bags waiting for Ian and I. Just as we all sat down Sharon came around the corner and called Jamie. "Time for class." She demanded. Jamie opened his mouth to protest but she held up a hand to stop him. "Don't even try it. I let you miss classes when we went to… help Wanda, but now you need to get your little butt into my class room."

"But-" Jamie tried.

"No but's. Now."

"I'll see you later kiddo." I gave him a quick hug and he exited the kitchen followed by Jared and Mel, arm in arm. I opened the bag and the aroma of French fries filled my senses and just seemed so familiar. My brain flashed back to a memory. Not one of the old souls, but one of the host's. It was only a moment, but it was so real. It was a picture. The faces were somewhat blurred but I saw three very happy people. I was there holding a baby and smiling at the camera. There was a man next to me. He seemed so familiar…

"Wanda." I was trying to figure out who this man was, wracking my memories clean, as Ian's faded voice filled my head. "Wanda! Wanda, what's wrong?"

I snapped out and looked into Ian's confused eyes, my mind fuzzy from what had just happened.
