Thanks to Vatala Darkmist, Roy, Twilightwubber (twice), and Harbour, for reviewing. I send all of you imaginary chocolates. (They look yummy don't they?)

Ian's Pov

I'm in the middle of a jungle, just like the one I used to see on the television. I was walking around, I knew I was lost but I wasn't worried. There was an eerie calmness as I walked around. I look around and notice something beautiful in the trees; I climb up to see what it is. It looks like an angel. I climb and climb, but the closer I get the further away she gets. Then I see her, by the water and I'm finally able to reach her. I reach for her and she reaches for me, and when our hands touch I feel a strange chill go through my body. Like nothing I've ever felt before.

I pull her close to me, I need to make sure that she is real, but she looks at me both smiling and crying at the same time and tells me, "It's too late. It's over." And she disappears.

I fall to my knees and cry, feeling as if I've lost the only thing that is important. I search for hours, and the panic starts to sink in.

I'm too late. It's over.

Then I wake up.

I half expect to back in our room with Wanda curled up like a ball beside me, but then I see Jared slouched by Doc's desk with Mel's head in his lap, with Jamie right next to them asleep. I remember what happened.

Jared isn't asleep and there is food on the desk, but I don't eat. He looks at me and his eyes are sad and worried. I can tell he is worried, about Wanda and about Mel. He knows how close they were.

I look up and see Wanda's face. I can see her chest moving up and down as she breathes. Her face looks much better and I can tell that her lips are not as chapped as they were before. She looks like she does when she is about to wake up. I look up at Jared and he notices too. He looks down at Mel and silently asks me if he should wake her. I shake my head; I want the first face Wanda sees to be mine.

Wanda's Pov

I'm walking in the park. It's a strange park, it's very dark. I'm look down and I have a baby in my arms. It has blonde hair, and blue eyes. A lady come near me and asks me to see the baby, as she draws closer she sees my eyes and scream, "She's one of them. Get her."

I run and run, and I hear the baby crying. I look behind me and there are a bunch of humans chasing me. It's horrible. I finally see Ian and my hearts skips a beat. Even scared half out of my mind he has this effect on me. I'm about to tell him to run, but he just looks at me and closes his eyes.

I can't run anymore, I've run for hours and they are still behind me. But I don't see that anymore, I just see Ian closing his eyes as I pass by. That's when I see Burns. He Takes the child out of my arm and leads me to a house hidden by trees. "You're okay," he tells me. "It's okay, you're safe."

I don't know why, but I believe him.

It felt good to be safe.

I open my eyes, and I see Ian's head next to my cot, he has one of his hands in mine and the other on my stomach. I look around the room and I see Jared's, Doc's, Mel's, and Jamie's faces. Jared sensing a change in the room started to move; I quickly closed my eyes and controlled my breathing. I'm not ready to be awake yet.

I think about what happened last night. I remember telling Ian what happened, but most of all I remember his reaction. It was horrible. I remember running to the Jeep. I was really hungry and thirsty. I knew I was about to faint.

I also remember being carried through the dessert. I think it was Kyle who carried me, but I couldn't be too sure. He was telling me something, but he thought I was unconscious so he wasn't really talking to me. It was a story about when Ian and he were younger. He was saying how Ian always said they were both going to grow up and meet the perfect women, and how Ian and his children were going to be best friends. Then Kyle called him a cheese, because only he would be thinking about that when they were young. But Kyle also said that he always thought it would come true.

Then I came along, and he saw how Ian changed when he came back from the raid. He told me how he was scared that he was going to lose his brother just like he had lost the rest of his family. Kyle said he saw how Ian started to look at me, and how he started to act. He couldn't take it. He thought that I was tricking his brother. That's why he tried to kill me.

I remember slowly losing consciousness, but I was slightly awake when he said, "But after you saved me I saw how hurt you were when he found out that you were leaving. Almost as if it was just as painful for him as it was for you. That's when I started to believe you. That you really loved him. Come on Wanda wake up, you're his perfect women."

It shocked me to remember all that. How kind Kyle had been to me. It shocked me enough to make me open my eyes, and the first thing I saw was Ian's face. My heart, even after all this time skips a beat.

"Wanda!" Ian says his face lighting up completely.

I see Doc, and everybody else gets to their feet. That's when I notice that Kyle and Sunny had been there the whole time. I am so thankful to him, it's ridiculous. I smile when Kyle's eyes meet mine, and I know that he knows. He knows about so much but he just shrugs and I look away.

Then I notice Mel, and she looks like she is about to say something about our exchange but she just smiles. No one has said anything yet, but then unexpectedly Jamie rushes to my side and screams:

"Wanda. I was so angry because nobody told me anything, even when Mel collapsed in the game room. Nobody told me anything, I was so worried. I thought you had died."

"I'm fine. You shouldn't have worried. What happened to Mel? Are you ok?" I said, my voice rising in pitch at the last part.

"I'm fine, I just fainted from stress. Doc said it was away the body protects itself, so that neither I nor the baby would be harmed." As soon as she finished Jared pulled her closer to his side.

Then Doc spoke, "Wanda darling, you shouldn't have done that to us we were extremely worried. When Kyle brought you in, you were bleeding, dehydrated, and malnourished. It was a good thing they found you when they did. You'll have to stay here for a couple of days. So I can make sure you're better."

"Thank you guys so much. For coming out to get me and making sure I got better." I said tears of happiness in my eyes. "How long have you guys been here?"

"Almost twelve hours." Doc said.

"Oh wow. I am so sorry you guys had to stay here. You guys should go rest." I said kind of hoping they would stay. I hadn't talked to Ian yet, and I was really not looking forward to it. Mel looked like she was about to protest, but then Doc told them that they should go eat and rest and shower, because they all smelled. They took that as a hint and they started to leave.

"Thanks again!" I called out.

"No problem, anything for the mother of my nephew." Kyle said and he winked.

"What's the problem with men? They always think the baby is going to be a boy. We all know it's going to be a girl." Mel said.

"Want to bet?" Kyle asked.

"I am not going to bet on the outcome of my child, are you Wanda?" She asked, nobody had left yet and I was really enjoying their company.

"No, of course not." I said, and they all laughed at the expression on my face.

"You're just saying that because you're going to lose." Jared said. This earned him a good slap on the head by Melanie, and earned her a loud and shocked "Mel!" from Sunny and I.

With this everybody left laughing. "I'll go get you guys some food." Doc said.

"But there's food right there." I said and pointed to his desk.

"Yes, I know Wanda. But that food is old and I don't want you to get sick in this delicate condition." He didn't even wait for me to answer. He just left me, alone, with Ian.

Ian's Pov

I can't believe she is sitting up and talking. I am so glad she is awake, even if she hasn't said anything to me yet. It kind of hurt me when, I called out her name and she just ignored me. It especially hurt me when the first person she smiled at was Kyle. I could have taken it if it had been anyone else, even if it had been Jared. But Kyle? Out of everyone in the room. Kyle, really? It was like someone had cut my heart out. I know I'm being petty, but that was just an indicator of how much the world had changed in the last 24 hours.

We finally looked up at each other and I can see hurt in her eyes, along with sorrow and questions. I have never seen her look like that. We stayed there looking at each other. No one wanted to speak first. Soon after, to my surprise, Wanda broke the silence.

"Ian, I'm sorry." She said the words rushing out as fast as her tears. She was almost sobbing. "I should have waited for you to say something before leaving. I had just been so worried, and when you didn't say anything and your face went pale. I couldn't take it. I thought you didn't want me anymore." She said finally sobbing.

I was shocked. Me not want her anymore that was ridiculous.

"Oh, Wanda. That would never happen. I was just surprised. I was really excited. I just couldn't believe my life could ever turn out like this."

"Like what?" she asked.

With that I leaned in and put her face close to mine, and said, "Perfect."
