((Since she needs one, if she's planning on remaining mostly comatose...))
*Aimee followed the orderly into what she had been informed would be her mother's room. It was nice enough, there was a nice view of Paris out the window, not facing the slums like the other room had.*
*Eponine was wheeled in shortly after, and Aimee quietly watched the nurse make her comfortable by fluffing her pillows and replacing her blanket with a quilt from home.*
*Aimee walked up to Eponine and kissed her on the cheek.*
"I hope you're comfy, maman." *She said quietly.*

**SOME UNIDENTIFIED AMOUNT OF TIME LATER**
*An orderly was passing through on his rounds, checking on Ms. Thenardier, when suddenly the patient's eyes opened up.*
"Where's Aimee?" *Was the first thing she asked. Aimee looked up from her spot in the metal chair.*
"Maman?"
*Eponine smiled.* "Come here, Meesette." *She said, and Aimee crawled up next to her on the bed, though for some reason she didn't smile.*
"Have you come back for good?" *She asked quietly.*
"I don't know, cherie. I'll try to stay here." *She said, kissing Aimee on the forehead.*
"Now where's Fitz? I thought he was to be taking care of you while I'm sick."

Fitz grinned comically and raised his hand. "Present and accounted for!" he said, relieved that Eponine was awake.

*She grinned weakly at him.*
"Thank you so much... I'm not sure what would have happened to her if you hadn't showed up."

He held her hand gently. "You know how much I care about both of you. You really didn't need to ask."

*She smiled.*
"I don't know how long it'll be before I'm better..." *She said, smiling sheepishly.*
"You may have the imp a few weeks longer."

He chuckled. "It'll be a pleasure, Auntie," he assured her.

"Ew." *She shuddered.* "Please, don't call me auntie. It makes me feel old."

He cocked an eyebrow. "But I've been doing it since we met. Do you have amnesia, too?" he teased.

*She frowned.*
"No, I don't think so... wait, where am I?" *She asked, a serious look on her face.*

She was joking, right? "The Opera Infirmary, of course."

*She cocked her head.*
"John? Is that you?"

She had better be joking.
"No, no, it's me, Fitz." Hadn't she just said his name a minute ago?

*She furrowed her brow.*
"I'm not entirely sure I know who you are. The only fitz I know is a baby."
*She looked at Aimee.*
"I'm sorry, mademoiselle, who are you?" *She asked, confused.*

"That's your daughter, Eponine. Don't you remember her? Aimee-Cosette? She's yours and John's." He spoke soothingly, a part of him hoping that this would bring her back to the present.
