Open Ongoing

It had been about fifteen minutes now that Rarity had stood at the main floor just as Applejack had said. She stood there with tears on her face, streaming down her cheeks as she cried. She was barely able to stand, heeled feet or otherwise. Those knees of hers decorated in opaque colored leggings felt weak and her hands couldn't do anything but hang at her sides. She could do nothing but cry and stare ahead with the blankest of expressions, lost in a sea of sorrow. Rarity had known the answer for a day or so, she felt it in her heart without having to have JARVIS tell her it was so. She couldn't bring herself to go to the doctor's now so all she could do was stand there staring at whatever it was the computer did. Maybe it didn't do anything and all she saw was in her imagination.

"Congratulations, Mrs Fitzwilliam," said the robotics and Rarity had only the urge to sob, shaking her head.

"I can't do this. I can't. I can't!" Rarity finally screamed after minutes of standing there further, hands shaking as her knees finally gave out and she fell to all fours on the floor. Her crying was loud, unhinged. It was that awful kind of cry, the kind you didn't want to hear because it was just too depressing.

	"I used to be like that." Jason commented. "But my Liz, she taught me that it's okay to ask for help. You can't take care of anyone else unless you take care of yourself, you know?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rarity smiled again softly. She sighed and nodded. "I am usually good about learning my own lessons," she said. "Your girlfriend? She sounds very kind. Tell me more of her?" She didn't want to think about herself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"She was very kind." Jason murmured. "She was one of the first people I met on the island. She spoke to me on the phone when I was new and confused. But it wasn't until we were both at this beach party, that I knew she was the one for me. There were guys spraying each other with water guns, and she didn't run away like most of the girls..er..women. She got right into it too. We started dating after that; we worked together too. And we were even physically bonded together for a few days thanks to the island. The island did other stuff to her too, bad stuff. And even when she was scared, she toughed it out. She was strong like that. And brave." He looked down at his hands. "Brave enough to wear my ring. And then she vanished."

Reaching for his hand, Rarity smiled softly. "She sounds wonderful. I hope she will come back for you. I did, I came back." Her hands squeezed Jason's gently as she took in the things he had said. Art had been fantastic. He had been the man she always wanted, now she had his children. She had to be brave...for his spirit, for his children, for herself. But first she had to try to get out of here.

	"Thanks." Jason closed his eyes for a moment, remembering the time Lizzie had squeezed her hand when was in the hospital after more of the island's unpleasantness. Even seriously wounded, she had been trying to comfort him. "I hope your loved one returns to you too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Me, too...." Rarity nodded and got up slowly, shaking but finding her feet. "I should go...I have some things to do..." She swallowed tightly as she looked back down at Jason. "It was good talking to you. I needed it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jason nodded and rose to his feet. "At least let me walk you to the door." It was the gentlemanly thing to do. Elizabeth would have liked that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It was a perfectly wonderful thing to do. Rarity nodded and paused before moving slowly in the direction of the exit. What a nice young man, she thought, eyes cast toward the ground though she tried to stand tall. A hand idly set itself over her lower abdomen as her mind wandered. If he said anything else she did not hear it immediately. Not until she blinked at the door and looked back to him.

"Be well, dear."

	Jason watched her as they walked to the door. She seemed steadier than before and he felt safe letting her leave. He smiled at her words. "Take care of yourself." (Reply to this) (Parent)
