"Don't have it rough?" Zack asked with a laugh as he took a puff. "Look at me, I can't walk! I can't run, or play football, or swim. Hell, I can't even bathe myself. That and... NOTHING works before the belt, babe. I'm doomed to be a permanent virgin."


Patrick walked in and saw Emily. She was pale and hooked up to several IVs. He took a seat next to her, holding her hand as he tried to stay strong.

"Don't worry," Kristina answered with attitude, "Even if the equipment did work, nobody would be interested. Girls don't like posers like you."


After several minutes, Emily started to regain consciousness. She was alarmed when her hands were cold and there was a tightness in her chest. Her breathing increased as she looked next to her bed and saw Patrick sitting there. "Am I in heaven?"

"Takes one to recognize one," Zack said as he held the cigarette in his mouth. "Who's your mother, Julia Roberts from Pretty Woman? 'Cause you're dressed like a prostitute."


"No," Patrick said with a smile. "You're still here with me. You almost didn't make it. Zack's getting his surgery. Someone's paid for it. I don't know who, though. But Zack's going to be able to walk again."

"Don't be mad just because you know you can't touch," Kristina argued back, "Besides, men don't pay me to sleep with them. They just beg."



"So I really am in heaven," Emily mumbled. She was groggy and felt completely numb. "Except I'm assuming that they put a pacemaker in. So I'm now the delicate flower with the pacemaker and the heart of a 60 year old."

"Oh, please," Zack said as he snuffed out his cigarette. "Even if Lil' Zack worked, he wouldn't get anywhere near the walking STD magnet that is you."


"But you're still alive," Patrick told her. "And Lucas and Zack still have a mother to care for them. That's what those boys need. And I still need my fiancee. I still love you, Em. I never stopped."

"And that's exactly what it is... Lil' Zack," Kristina argued, pulling a cigarette out of his hand and lighting it up for herself.


"You didn't want to get married," she sighed, "which I totally understand in my head, but I think there's a part of me that still wonders whether or not you're ready for it or if I just pushed you into it because I was pregnant."

"Yeah, and it's getting smaller the more I look at you," Zack told her. "It's girls like you that makes guys like Morgan queer."


"I do want to get married," Patrick told her. "As soon as you're healthy again, we will. And Zack's going to be my best man, and he's going to walk down the aisle with Lucas watching. We're going to be a family."

"Bite me!" Kristina argued. "Don't ever call my brother queer! At least he knows how to fight for what he wants. You just sit around in that chair and wait for the world to give you the ability to walk."


"And we've said that at least 100 times. And meanwhile, there's been cancer and money issues and shootings. This is getting ridiculous. I just... i can't help but think that there's a reason we're still just engaged."

"Oh, I'm sorry," Zack said as he looked at her. "I meant to say FAGGOT. 'Cause that's what he is, isn't he? It's like a damn virus in the family. Then there's the women, which, judging by you, are all dressed to whore around."


"We're still engaged because I love you," Patrick told her. "Because I want to be with you, and I want our boys to be raised with two parents."

Kristina slapped Zack across the face hard. "You son of a bitch! I hope you fall out of that damn chair and cry like the baby you are."


"I love you, too," Emily started, taking a deep breath. "I'm sorry I'm so crazy right now, it's just that I have to have a machine in my body so that I can live. I'm 26-years-old, Patrick, and my heart can't even function on its own. I want to do so much more with my life and yet I keep ending up back here, in this damn bed with these damn machines!"

"You are ugly when you're mad," Zack laughed. "Or maybe you're just jealous because I'm the first guy who won't consider sleeping with you. Well, besides your gay brother, that is."


"Emily, the point is that you're alive," Patrick told her. "Lucas needs you right now. He needs to know his mother. He needs to know that you're there for him."

"Yeah, well, the only reason you don't have a boner right now is because you can't. And trust me, there will come a day when you'll want me. And I'll just laugh," Kristina predicted.


Emily groaned. She was depressed about having a pacemaker and frustrated that she was again in the hospital. It was her role; always the victim. "He doesn't need me. He needs you. I can't take him to play basketball with a piece of metal in my chest; I can't teach him about girls or even make him stop crying when he has a fever. You can..."

"Yeah, right," Zack told her. "Even if I had the ability to get a boner, I'd rather have it cut off than get a rise from you."


"That's not true," Patrick told her. "Lucas loves you. Zack loves you. Zack's here in the hospital. He was crying when he heard you were in surgery. That's how much he loves you."

Kristina rolled her eyes and turned around, staring out into the night. "So why are you so bitter anyway? What are you hiding?"


Emily took a deep breath and felt a tear roll down her cheek. "I'm sorry; I'm being horrible and selfish. I just think you and the boys would be better off if I hadn't have made it, because now you're stuck with one more thing to worry about with my health."

"Maybe I'm bitter because there's no chance I'll ever be able to play like Lucas will," Zack told her. "My little brother's going to be able to run and play and swim, and I'm going to have to watch him from the sidelines. I'm going to be the one he feels sorry for because I won't the football star or the track star like he'll be."


"That's not true," Patrick replied. "Do you realized how devastated those boys would be if you left us? How devastated I'd be? We'd all be lost without you."

"Yeah, well, sometimes that would take the pressure away," Kristina mumbled. "At least you don't have all those expectations put on you."


"I was scared; I still am scared," Emily admitted with tears in her eyes. "I wasn't scared before. I never cared. Through the cancer and everything, I was very prepared to die, but what scared me the most about all of this is never having the chance to spend another night eating ice cream with you in bed out of the carton. Never bickering with you about what movie we should watch or how to arrange the boys' rooms. Never sleeping in your arms again or saying vows to each other. And most of all, I was scared of leaving you alone and turning you into the closed-up man you were before we got together."

"I'd rather have expectations than pity," Zack told her. "Do you know many times a day I hear people telling me how sorry they are that I can't walk? The looks of pity they give me because I can't reach a high shelf? That I can't go to the bathroom without help? You've got it great, because you have independence. I don't have anything."

"Yeah, well, I'll trade any day," Kristina sighed, taking a seat on the ledge and looking down.

"Trust me, you wouldn't," Zack told her. "You don't know what it's like to be only half a person. To look at the bottom half of your body, realize it's there, and... not feel any of it, like it was dead weight. To look at your feet and cry because you can't run with the other boys. Or feel the sand on the beach between your toes. Or... dance with a girl."

"Yeah, it's overrated," Kristina laughed, trying to break out some humor. She threw her cigarette over the ledge. "Girls aren't as coordinated as they say. listen, I should probably let you go check on your future... whatever mom. You don't have to sit out here with me."

"See ya," Kristina sighed, looking out at the city and trying to figure out how to fix everything.


Meanwhile, Emily pulled Patrick's hand until she was in his arms. "So, when are they operating on Zack? Will I be out of this bed by then?"

"In three days," Patrick told her. "They're coming to meet him in the morning. I haven't told him yet. I'm waiting to surprise him."

"That's good news," Emily told him. "We needed some of that. You didn't happen to see what I was wearing when I got shot, did you?"

"Yeah," Patrick said. "It was in your belongings before the police took it as evidence. I'm sorry about your dress, Emily. You would have looked so beautiful in it."
