IMPORTANT NOTE : For those of you who don't story alert, you might not know that I erased the chapter 23, and put in a new one. Yeah...you might want to read that one before you read this one, because I worked freaking hard on that one and I want to know what you guys think! Please!? Anyway, if you've already read it, please carry on!

Wanda's Point Of View

I felt my circuits slowly re-attach themselves. Looks like the empty space that Silvers was occupying needed to be filled.

And so, I had to withstand the torture of feeling like a five-year old for about 1 minute. And then I slowly made my way back; my mind began to work again.

After the punch to my pride of having the brain of a child for a moment, I was expected to have a happy welcome home party! I had my mind to myself, Silvers was free, and I should be rewarded for doing a super great deed. Instead, I was kinda feeling pain…

"…Wanda…" I heard somebody whisper.

I knew that voice. I knew that voice!

I opened my eyes.

There he was: with his too dark hair, his too blue eyes, and his too fair skin…

My perfect Ian.

"I-I…" I bit my lip. Sure, I was in extreme agony, but I just wanted to make sure it was him…

"…Ian?"

With a single word, he gave me that huge smile that I've missed for so long…

And that was when I felt the weirdest disturbance in my bladder. Oh, and now my pain was increasing…

IT WAS A LOT OF PAIN!!!!!!!! "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed. "SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!"

I heard voices but I couldn't focus! I couldn't breathe; I couldn't see!! Why is this happening!? SOMEBODY TELL ME WHY THIS IS HAPPENING!!!!!!

"IAN!!!!" I started screaming out. "IAN, COME HELP MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I must be in wonderland, I thought to myself. I felt someone familiar hold my hand and for a second, the pain went away. "Ian?" I said, momentarily distracted.

"Wanda, I'm here! It's okay, it's okay! Just make it through this, please just make it through this!" I heard Ian say.

I really am in wonderland, aren't I? If Ian's here, it'll all be okay---even if he is just a dream. But I'm okay if this is all a dream…NO, I AM DEFINITELY NOT OKAY IF THIS IS ALL A DREAM!!!!!!! THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY F***ING PAIN IN WONDERLAND!!!

"Wanda, can you hear me!" I heard Ian shout. "Wanda, sweetie, all you have to do is push! You're having our baby! I know you can do this, Wanda! Push!" he shouted.

Deep breath, deep breath. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed for the second time as I did my best to do what Ian asked. I took a tiny break to breathe again, as I prepared myself for the next round.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed piercingly, as I could feel my brow sweating.

"Aha! Wanda, I can see the head!! You're actually doing it, Wanda!! You can do this; Wanda, I know you can! Now, PUSH!!" Ian shouted again.

I must've torn his hand off by now. Nope, still in place. Exhale, inhale. Exhale, inhale, I chanted to myself. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed again.

"Wanda, are you listening to me, sweetheart!? Our baby's almost here! I'm here for you, I'll always be here!!" Ian shouted.

"Ian…I don't think I can do this," I whispered. I tried to open my eyes to see him, but I couldn't…

"Yes you can! You can, Wanda! I love you, and I know you'll make it through this! All you need is one more push!" Ian said as he tightened my hand.

"Promise me…you'll never leave…again," I panted out.

"I promise. I don't break promises, Wanda," he said firmly.

"I…know…" I said with a small smile.

"Wanda, we need you to push once more! Hurry!" I heard Doc say.

"On 3, Wanda." Ian said.

I nodded. Torture almost done, Wanda. I said to myself.

"1... 2... 3!" Ian said.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed as I pushed with all my tiny strength.

My screaming was synched with another screaming. A baby was crying.

"It's a girl!" I heard Doc shout.

A girl!? "Let me…Let me see…her…" I managed to whisper.

"Wanda, open your eyes ," I heard someone say.

I did as I was told…and I cried. I raised my hand to cover my lips as I sobbed. I was feeling shocked, amazed, speechless, excited, overjoyed, confused, dazzled, and overwhelmingly happy at the sight before me.

And there was only one person who could make me feel that.

Ian.

He was standing right there--right in front of me. His hair was still black and his skin was still fair. And his eyes---oh, his eyes!--- they were that icy blue that I had come to love. And they were only blue. God, I'm not dreaming this, am I!?

He was looking at me with so much tender in his eyes…and he was holding our child. "Am I doing this right?" he whispered to me, gesturing towards our daughter.

"Of course you are…" I whispered back, still in a dazed expression. I just couldn't seem to look away from his eyes…

He slowly made his way over to me with a small smile. He sat down next to me and placed our baby in my hands.

"Oh!" I said as I looked at her. She was just so, so adorable! She was all nice and warm in her pink blanket and she didn't even cry. She was just staring at me with her wide faded blue eyes.

"I wish she got your eyes instead! My eyes are so ugly!" I shouted with a pout.

"No, they're not. Your eyes are one of the things I love about you," Ian said with a thoughtful look.

I looked down at my baby with a tiny smile. "You really are a man of your word, aren't you?" I whispered, as I felt someone place two fingers below my chin.

Ian turned my head in his direction, as he whispered, "I owe it all to you, my Wanderer." And finally, after so long, our lips met.

My eyes fluttered shut and I had to keep reminding myself that I was holding our baby. Our lips moved this way and that; I've missed this so much. I wanted to throw my arms around him, but somebody had to interrupt, right?

"Ahem!" Melanie's loud voice echoed. I quickly sprung apart from Ian, but kept his hand. "You're going to squish my new niece!" Mel shouted, as she put her hands on her hips.

I looked up at her with wide eyes. "Melanie? You made it back safely?" I whispered in awe.

"Of course I did!" she shouted with a wide smile. "Everyone did! The only one that hadn't come back was you! You've kept us waiting a long time, Wanderer…" Melanie said with a touch of sadness in her eyes.

"Mel…" I said, as my vision became blurry. I threw one arm around her, the other one carefully cradled my baby.

"Okay, okay, enough tears," Mel whispered as she patted my back. "Now, what shall we name her! I think Wanda should decide, since she has an exact copy of your eyes! Oh, and because you're her mom," Mel shouted with enthusiasm.

"It has to be something cute!" Sunny shouted over her shoulder.

"Choose a name with a special meaning to you," Doc said, as he walked in our direction.

"Hmm…" I stared at my baby's wide eyes, then turned to face Ian. "What do you think?"

"I think you should decide," he said with a wide smile.

I continued to stare at my baby with an amused expression. She didn't cry; I thought something might've been wrong with her. She just stared and stared at me…And finally…

She gave me the teensiest smile. My eyes widened at that.

"Wow…" Ian whispered, as he caught sight of her smile before it had disappeared and she started crying.

"Shh, shh, shh. Don't cry, my little Amethyst," I whispered, as I gently rocked her.

"Amethyst?" Ian said as he raised one eyebrow.

"It's my favorite gem stone," I said, not looking away from Amethyst's faded blue eyes. "Now, she is my favorite gem…" I whispered.

"Yeah…Amethyst, huh. That's a nice name…" I heard Ian whisper.

"But it's kind of a mouthful! Why don't we just call her Violet?" I heard someone shout.

I quickly turned around to find my ancient, old friend Jeb, smiling like always. "Jeb!?"

"Or how about Lavender!" Lily said, as she half-dragged a sad looking man. I haven't seen that guy before, could there be new people now!?

"You know what, screw those names! Let's call her Pink or Purple! Colors of the rainbow rock!" Kyle shouted with his fist in the air.

"Well, I think Amethyst suits her just fine," Sunny said as she clung to Kyle's waist.

"Airplane baby! Let's call her that!" little Freedom said, as he literally popped out of nowhere.

"Wanda makes the decision and that's what she chose!" Jared said, as he tried to make his way to me through the crowd of people.

"When did you all get in here!?" I shouted.

"Wanda, you're so slow! You seriously thought your screaming wouldn't attract attention? Give me a break!" Melanie shouted as she patted my head.

I felt my face flush red, as I quickly turned away from all the laughing voices. Ian lowered his head and whispered in my ear, "You're so beautiful when you blush, Wanda."

And of course, that just made me blush deeper. Through the embarrassment, I was fleetingly happy. I had never been this happy in so long…

And to think, it only took two sounds to break that happiness.

I heard a slight groan, coming from a cot beside me. I quickly sat up straighter to see Silvers, my former self, start to slowly get up.

I had completely forgotten about her. Did it work? Was she saved?

Her long red hair covered her face and then she turned to the left…to face me.

We simply stared at each other; the other humans had gone silent.

And then, the other noise started to echo in the caves. It was kind of a thrumming, sound…

"Is that…a helicopter?" I heard Melanie whisper. I simply stared at the ceiling in shock.

I had been so busy; I had too much to do! I was trying to get back to the Resistance in the quickest time possible, so Miss. Nurse wouldn't wake up on accident and kill herself. I completely forgot to cover my tracks!! Don't tell me someone had discovered me! I shouted quickly through my mind.

"It's those damn Seekers! Are they…Are they landing above us!?" I heard Jeb shout.

"Damn it!! Everyone, we have to evacuate!" Jared shouted, as he started to make a sprint towards the storage room.

"No!" someone shouted real loudly, causing all the noise to stop. Silvers.

She slowly stood up and let her red long hair fall down her shoulders. "There's no need for you to evacuate. I know the Head Seeker; I'll make him leave. It's me he wants, anyway," she said as she started to walk towards the exit.

"Silvers!" I shouted, as I put Amethyst into Ian's hands. I quickly got out of the cot and ran towards her.

"Wanda?" she whispered with a distant look in her eyes.

"I'm going with you! I won't let you turn yourself in!" I shouted, as I clenched her arm tightly.

Silvers looked away as she easily released my hold from her arm. "I'm sorry," she whispered, before running off into the dark hallway.

"SILVERS!!" I shouted, as I chased her down. Oh, but she was so much faster than me!

Damn it! Why does somebody keep messing up with my life!? WHY!? I shouted, as I ran helplessly through the dark hallway, with tears running down my face, all the while.

A/N: Hey, did anybody notice that when Ian cussed, I didn't bleep anything out, but when Wanda cussed (f***ing wonderland!), I did bleep it out? It's 'cause Wanda's so innocent!

Amethyst. It took me quite a while to come up with that name. I was looking at birthstones and the Amethyst one looked so pretty (it's a type of purple. The February birthstone, FYI), so I decided to give that name to Wanda's baby.
