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......
Derek straightened and look around at the group assembled before him. He
decided it would be best to come straight to the point. "Nick will will fly
you two," he said looking at Kristin and Philip, he hadn't actually told
Nick this bit of news yet, but he knew now. "to Boston and he is going to
stay around in a hotel and keep an eye on things."
An odd light headed feeling caught Derek holding it in it's grip for a
moment. He shook his head slightly trying to rid himself of it. What on
earth was that? He opened his eyes and glance to the opening of the control
romm then back at the group. "You'll be staying here," he said to Amber
before what he had seen registered and he looked back towards the door,
"Where did you come from....?"
