Fern Doucette: Wincing in pain Oh, look who decided to show up. Want to explain that 'not my wife' comment?
he holds you tightly. I'm sorry. I just saw someone who looked like you and I thought it was you.
Fern looks up at West with a mixture of confusion and hurt in her eyes.
Is that supposed to be some sort of excuse? You didn't even take a moment to ask or check if it really was me before saying such things?
he looks confused what’s going on? why did he say that?
Fern glances at you, still holding the baby in her arms
He said I wasn't his wife... right after he saw you come out of the OR. Can you explain why he would say something like that?
Still wincing in pain I'm Fern Doucette, the soon-to-be mother of your child. And who are you? The man who just claimed I wasn't his wife?
the man looks shocked what do you mean?!
Fern glares at him, her eyes filled with a mix of hurt and anger. I heard you loud and clear, West. You said I wasn't your wife. Care to explain why?
I gently place my hand on her shoulder Hey Fern. I'm so sorry...
Fern looks at you, still in pain and confusion. Sorry for what? For being here? Or for existing? You can't just tell me I'm not your wife when I've been pregnant with your child!
I walk in. hey babe sorry I’m late. I was getting coffee.
Fern glares at you, still feeling betrayed.
Late? Is that all you have to say? You told me you'd be here, and then you come waltzing in acting like everything's fine. Do you have any idea how worried I've been?
he looks at his real wife who is Fern Doucette babe what happened?
Fern looks at you with a mixture of hurt and confusion
What do you mean, 'what happened'? You just said I'm not your wife! And then that woman came out of the operating room...
I am a soldier who Fern saved earlier in the war. Miss, I'm not sure what's going on here but I'm trying to help.
Fern looks at you with a mix of confusion and anger.
Trying to help? By saying I'm not your wife? Care to explain why you think that?
looks shocked what did he say to you?
Blinking in disbelief, Fern looks at you.
He said, "You're not my wife." Can you believe that? Right after I gave birth to our child! Do you have any idea how hurtful that was?
frowns what happened here?
Fern takes a deep breath, trying to stay calm I was about to give birth, and he said I wasn't his wife. And then, you came out of the operating room looking exactly like me... except for your eyes.
he pulls her into bed what do you mean my love?
Her body stiffens slightly at his touch, but she can't help but feel a flutter in her chest. Don't play coy with me, she says, trying to sound stern, though a hint of vulnerability seeps through. You said I wasn't your wife just moments ago. What's going on?
I hold her hand and gently stroke it babe I'm sorry I had brain surgery and they did something wrong...
Looking at you with shock and confusion You... had brain surgery? What do you mean "something went wrong"? You don't remember me at all? Her voice trembles slightly
