A/N: oh ho ho ho... MERRY EARLY CHRISTMAS! 3 chapters in ONE DAY! basically just a chapter of remebering and being a bit scared of the truth...? idk if thats a good way to explain it so u should just read it and find out!
Zoe nervously stepped in and smiled at him, "Cal?"
"Who is Cal?" He asked again.
"You!" She said a small smile on her face, "I am Zoe... your ex-wife."
"Oh." He nodded and looked at her, "I don't recognize you. Where is Rick?"
"He is on his way hun... don't worry." She gave him a reassuring nod and then sat down next to him, "What's on your mind?"
"Where is Andrew?"
"Who?"
"That kid... He can't go to the orphanage."
Gillian frowned and walked over to him, "You remember Andrew?"
"Yeah... did we stop him from going? He can't. They won't take care of him - he needs me." Cal said, jumping down from the bed and getting immediately dizzy. He soon fell to the floor and clutched his stomach, "Ah..." he moaned, biting his lip in pain.
Gillian and Zoe were both at his side before he could move another muscle, "We can send somebody to go and find him. You are in NO condition to leave." Gillian said, taking his arm and helping him back onto the bed.
"I need him." Cal whispered.
"Yes you do. Rick and Andrew... we will get them both."
He stared at her worriedly and rubbed the tiredness from his face, he took a deep breath and looked at Gillian, "Who are you?"
"Gillian Foster."
"How do I know you?"
"We are business partners."
"Why?"
"Um... you hired me...?"
"Why?"
"I don't know, Cal." She whispered.
"I am Cal... right?"
"Yes. Cal Lightman and you have a daughter Emily Lightman."
"Where is she?"
"Getting Rick."
"I want to see her."
"Of course." Zoe said, cutting in. She was soon gone and then back in a matter of seconds.
"Dad!" Emily yelled, wrapping him into a hug.
"You are...? Emily?" He guessed.
She pulled away and stared at him. She could feel the tear begin to grow in her eye, "Um... yeah." She made a weak smiled and whispered, "Do you remember me?"
"No. But... you seem... I don't know... I have these... like I recognize your voice... have I talked to you at all?"
"Not yet..."
"She wouldn't be quiet when she first saw you." Gillian said, "When you were still unconscious she was just talking and talking... telling you about your life and hers."
"She pregnant... with twins." Cal remembered her comforting voice filling him in on whatever she could think of.
"Yes!" She said with a genuine smile.
He smiled back and looked at Gillian, "I really don't know you, but I feel like I should."
She stared at him and sighed, "Well... we are kind of... together."
"Really?" He asked.
"Yes."
"I don't think we should be."
"Why not?"
"Because I have no clue who you are!" He said becoming frustrated.
"Cal... don't worry it's going to be okay." She walked up and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"No! I don't know you! You are getting too close." He shook his head and moved from under her hand.
"But Cal-"
"Just go..." He whispered. He ran a hand through his hair and curled up onto the bed, "I just... I don't know... where is Rick? and Andrew?" He stared at the wall and began to shake.
"Cal it's alright you just-"
"Don't touch me!" He yelled when she lightly touched his arm.
"Cal..." She whispered, slowly backing away.
He bit his lip and pulled the wimpy hospital bedding over his shoulder, but was still shaking.
Emily nervously watched as this all happened and looked at Foster who was now crying helplessly. She walked over and gave her a hug, "It's okay... he doesn't know me either."
"He is scared of me." Gillian whispered.
"No he isn't... he is just scared of the situation." Emily promised.
"Thank you Emily..." She said, a little happier.
A nurse was soon in the room with a big blanket. She threw it over Cal and smiled, "I am going to have to ask all of you to leave. This is very overwhelming for him."
Then all mumbled something and then began to leave, but Cal called out, "Emily."
"What?"
"Can you... stay?"
She smiled and glanced at the sad Gillian who nodded, "Of course." She walked over to his bed and sat down on a chair.
.:.
Gillian walked out with the others and sighed, "How the hell did that happen?"
"Don't worry." Ben said, trying to calm her, "He is just scared."
"Yeah! Of me!"
"Of the situation!"
"That's exactly what Emily said..." Gillian whispered. She sighed and looked at him, "He doesn't love me anymore." She said sadly.
"Of course he does... he just needs to... remember..."
"But he won't!"
"Of course he will Gillian... you just need to give it time."
"What does the word permanent mean to you?" She asked him madly.
He stared at her and then found a seat, "Just... sit down and relax... we can talk to him later and try to sort things out."
.:.
"So you're my daughter, eh?" Cal asked Emily.
"Sure am. Flesh and blood."
"That's cool." He smiled and took her hand, "Is it weird?"
"What?"
"Me not knowing who exactly you are?"
"Yes... it's very weird..."
"I'm sorry love." He sat back on the bed and sighed, "It's quite frustrating for me."
"I can imagine... it must be scary... but we are getting Andrew and Rick... and they can give you some sort of baseline on what you know."
He nodded and smiled, "You really know what to say."
"I learned from Gillian." His smile dissapeared and she frowned, "What is scaring you so much about her?"
"I don't know who the bloody hell she is. And she is... acting like she loves me and-"
"Because she does. She has for a long time now and it's really hard for her when you push her away like that. She is trying to help you but you won't let her."
"Well sorry if I am afraid of somebody that I don't know. I don't have any trace of anything about her."
"And you do for me?"
"Yes."
"What?"
"Those big brown eyes. I remember them from... somewhere... years ago."
"Her birth." Zoe suggested, walking in.
"Ex-wife...?" He guessed looking at her.
"You would be correct." She smiled and walked over to the bed.
"Her birth...? Yeah... I remember... well one your nails digging into my hand..." He smiled at Zoe and then pointed to Emily, "and holding your fragile little body... you were adorable Em." He smiled and kissed her forehead.
"You just called me Em."
"Yeah...?"
"You remember." She smiled and hugged him, "It's a good thing dad." She said in reply to his confused look.
.:.
"Zoe get's to talk to him?" She asked after coming back from the cafeteria and getting a coffee.
"Yes, because she isn't worried about him knowing her... and we think he does."
"Well why doesn't he know me?" She asked him worriedly.
"I'm not a doctor Gillian. You just gotta give it time. I am absoultely positive that EMily is putting in a good word for you."
She smiled weakly and sat back down. "Wow... I am really tired." She said, fighting back a yawn.
"You should sleep... you can have another go at it in the morning." Ben smiled and patted her back, "You of all people know how to handle this. So sleep - get your head on straight - and you can talk to him in the morning."
She was fast asleep before he was finished talking.
A/N: So... whataya think of Cal being scared of her and pushing her away? quite sad huh? what do you think will happen in the morning? what do you think MIGHT happen between him and Zoe? *hint hint*
