Julia could feel the oxygen running out and heard Alex's erratic breathing which meant she wasn't doing too well herself.
 
She tried to lift her head, at the same time whispering Derek's name and feeling the lightheadedness that was a sure sign of time running out for them.
 
Suddenly, more feeling than actual words, she heard a voice, small and scared and calling to her.
 
Momma.
 
"'melia.." Julia whispered, her head more falling than turning to its side, silent tears welling up in her eyes as she dragged one of her hands toward the vision she saw before her.
 
Dark hair, hazel eyes filled with fear; troubled, and expression pensive.
 
She was beautiful and Julia swallowed a sudden lump in her throat "m'baby..."
 
Her eye lids began to grow heavy.
 
Momma!
 
Julia's eyes snapped open, albeit drowsily, her hand so close to Amelia's hair.
 
"Call.. Daddy, honey..." she barely managed to whisper, recalling the name Derek had come up with for himself and using that "Call..... Pappa...."
 
Amelia's form faded out and Julia curled up on her side, cradling her stomach.
 
 
 
 
At the House.....
Unseen yet, a little girl started to appear in the Control Room......
