Benedict and Melody both made their way over to a waiting area, which was near Amelia's room. Extremely convenient because one, there is a toilet in case Melody felt bad and two, it was easy for both of them to enter.

Melody buried her face into her hands, worried sick.

"Gosh... What..." Melody's eyes began to fill up with tears. "... What if Mother doesn't make it?" Benedict reached his arm over Melody's shoulder, so that she could rest her head on his shoulder.

"Mels," Benedict said sniffing. "At least have some hope. Your Mother is strong, just like good old you. She will be okay." Melody tilts her head up to Benedict, looking at him like a lost puppy.

"Promise?" She reveals her pinky to him. Benedict tightens his pinky around hers.

"Promise." Melody cuddles up to Benedict and all of a sudden, she moves away, groaning. "Mels? What is it?"

"It's... the baby... Nothing to worry about." Benedict placed his hand on Melody's baby bump, frowning.

"It shouldn't be kicking that much, should it?" Melody grabbed hold of Benedict's hand, placing it back on his leg.

"I said... nothing to worry about." They both smiled very subtly. "Right now, I care about Mum... And the people close to me." Melody stroked Benedict's cheek with her thumb as he gazed into her eyes.

All of a sudden, a phone call ruined an inevitable moment. Oh how phone calls always deliberately ruin these moments, dammit! Melody reached for her phone, answering it. On the other side, Elizabeth.

"Hey Liz."

"Mels, I heard, are you all right? Is Amelia okay?" Melody sighed hard, rubbing her eyes.

"I-I don't know..."

"Keep me posted Mels. I am only a phone call away." Melody smiled, thanking Elizabeth and puts her phone away. Melody suddenly notices a Doctor walk out of the room, so she quickly grabs his attention.

"Excuse me, Doctor!" He stops, Melody getting up with Benedict.

"Yes? How can I help?"

"How is my Mother, Amelia?" The Doctor nearly lets out a gasp, but it turns into a sentence.

"... She..."

"Doctor?" Oh dear, how Melody's voice trembled.

"It's... not good news I'm afraid." Melody caught hold of Benedict's hand, tightening it since she was ever so scared. Benedict thought is reasonable to talk for her.

"May we see her?" The Doctor nodded. Benedict squeezed Melody's hand, smiling in order to comfort her. He knew that this was one bit of good news. Benedict walked through the door, towards Amelia, however, Melody loosened her hand and stood in the doorway, speechless. "Mels?" Melody just stared at her wounded Mother, panicking. She turned around pacing back out, Benedict calling after her. "Mels!"

"I... I can't." Melody whimpered. "I just can't see her like that." Benedict frowns. "Listen, I feel sick, stay here with Mum. Tell her... Tell her I love her." Benedict's eyes drew a single tear as she walked away. Bowing his head, he made his way into the room, looking at Amelia. Her eyes were now open.

"Amelia. Shall I call a Doc-" Amelia lightly grabs his arm, since her strength was drained.

"No..." She croaked. "Ben dear. I feel... as if these will be my last moments..." Benedict frowned, not believing the words that just came out of her mouth.

"No, no... We can help you!"

"I don't want... help. This cannot be undone Ben." Benedict began to breath heavily, Amelia placing her weak hand on top of his. "Please... don't be upset."

"No... Melody's child... deserves to have a grandmother, it's not-"

"Melody... what she deserves, is a good friend. A good husband. Alex is not the one for her." Benedict bites his lip, understanding. "You Ben, I know how you feel about her. You loved her. You still do."

"... I do. She... and I thought, we... moved on..." Amelia frowns.

"Have you really?" Amelia knew he was lying. The way they were and are, never changed. Benedict and Melody still care about each other, it will never change. However, they never got round to confess their feelings. Amelia knew their relationship very well. "You know... Mels, she told me... She loved you all those years ago..." Benedict smiled slightly. He bowed his head for just a moment, and all of a sudden a long continuous beep ringed into his ears.

Lifting up his head, he shook her hand, Melody walking in with a coffee in her hand. She drops it in shock and upset, collapsing to the floor.

"Mum! No....!" Melody begins to rock back and forth as Benedict strokes Melody's head, keeping in mind the words of Amelia.
