*Eponine handed the baby off to Aimee, mind racing. The only thing she could to was methodically go get the smelling salts that they kept in the house and attempt to wake Marius up. Her hands were shaking a little with nerves. She had known it would come to something like this. She never should have held it off...*
"Marius? Come on, wake up." *She said feebly.*

*Aimee tried to keep the baby occupied, but he kept craning his head to see.*
"No, Alexei." *She said gently, distracting him with some toy or another.*

*Marius awakened slowly and smiled woozily into her clear, beautiful eyes.*
"Is this Heaven?"

"Um... no... this is my apartment. You fainted when I walked in the door..." *She conveniently didn't mention the fact that the last time he had seen her, she had been being lowered into the ground.*

*Marius nodded slowly.*
"Did I dream the last year? Am I still asleep? Because I could have sworn you were dead. Again."

"Oh, alright then."
*A pause.*
"CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME IN GREATER DETAIL AND WITH MORE LOGIC?"

"I went to purgatory. I saw John there. I bothered Death. Then I bothered der Tod, who is not the same as Death, and is German. And he brought me back here." *She said resolutely, not mentioning the whole sleeping-with-him thing. Which she assumed he'd probably guess from the baby, unless he was being especially thick.*

"AND WHOSE BABY IS THIS?"

"Mine." *She said. Her voice cracked, but she remained (mostly) calm-looking.*

*Aimee took the baby into Eponine's room so that he wouldn't get upset by the yelling.*

*Marius' voice got quieter.*
"Oh...alright then. Uh, thank you for answering my questions. I hope you're all well and...uh...happy."
*He rolled his wheelchair over to the door with a series of pathetic little squeaks.*

"It's not as if I planned for him. All I wanted was to come home, to you and to Aimee--and I was willing to do anything to do so." *She said, voice thick. She looked after him sadly for a moment but then turned away.*

*Marius sighed.*
"God, 'Ponine, I know you wouldn't--I just...and I was never..."
*He sighed again.*
"I was never there for you as I ought to have been."
