Rating: PG-13

Pairing: Pepa/Silvia

Summary: Post episode 104 as well as my last fic, Come Back to Me. It’s basically its sequel; the events that occur after Silvia was released from the hospital.

argh! just when i thought i saw a pebble fall from the wall, BAM! angry walk! dammit! that was a super cute flashback though! little toddler sara calling out pa! and bia! so cute! and pepa holding silvia from behind? gently tucking the strand away from sara? *squee!melt* oh sigh! i love silvia and i know she's hurting right now, but i wanna slap that girl upside the head with a bucket of 'get-over-yourself'! can i do that? can YOU do that?

but as always, super awesome update, you rock my socks off. no, literally, i have no socks on. and if you wanna know what i DO or DON'T have on... *makes phone motion with pinkie and thumb* te quiero, mi amor!

[raven_bard]

At least Sara tried. Gotta give the girl credit. She got a drop of emotion from a brick wall. Yay her. And no worries, baby. Silvia will get her just desserts. All in due time.

As for what you have on...or lack therefore, I'm too weak and sore and exhausted for that, carino. Even a simple description will probably render me unconscious and I've had more than my fill of feeling like I'm about to pass out from yesterday. *rubs aching head* Maybe if you just let me cuddle with you instead...hmm not a good idea. I'm probably very contagious right now. *sighs* Oh well..me and pillow it is.

oh, poor baby! i just read your A/N and saw you're sick! sorry, i kinda got so excited i skipped right to the story first, THEN read your note. *sheepish grin* so i'll rub circles on your back and hand you your pills. if you want me to make tea, i'll be back in a minute... mi pobrecita! *big gentle hugs* it's almost 10:30pm your time, so lemme tuck you into bed, snug as a bug! *kisses forehead* get some sleep, cariña.

[raven_bard]

It's ok. Sometimes my A/N's are nonsense words thrown together just for the sake of having an A/N. But *shoves the pills away* no medicine. I don't take medicine. And I don't know how to swallow pills *whimpers* I'm so pathetic I know. Mama swears up, down and sideways that I'm officially the worse patient ever. Can I have a hot chocolate instead? I don't drink tea. *ducks head shyly*

Thanks for tucking me into bed though...I was very warm and snug last night *blows kiss*

I pity Sara.
It must be hard for her having to deal with Silvia's passive attitude.
The good thing is, she was able to make her aunt smile.
Silvia has to go back to the world of the living before she completely lose her sanity.

on another note, be well, my dear.
Xe gave you a back rub and your pills so just pretend I'm not here.;)

I'm searching for Thor's hammer...y'know the Norse God of Thunder? He's got this big ass hammer; I bet it'll knock anything down, including that damn wall Silvia's hiding behind. When I find it I shall mix it into a future chapter and kaboom! Wall gone...I hope.

Thanks for the well wishes as well as reading and commenting, Jem. :-) And don't pretend...stay!

Aww, sorry to hear you're sick sweetie! Here have some chocolate - it cures everything! Well, maybe not but it makes one feel better! Damn, if this is how well you write when you're sick, then I'm amazed! I was up late and kept refreshing my LJ hoping I'd see an update from you but it looks like we're out of sync this time - but you're sick, so get better instead of being plastered to your laptop! :D

Loved the trip down memory lane and Sarah's nicknames for her aunties. What if Pepa starts referring to Silvia as 'Bia' - maybe that'll get some reaction from the stony faced redhead! Hee! I get the feeling it'll be like hammering at a brick wall but that someone, somehow will get through to Silvia soon. Otherwise I'll reach through the screen and smack her myself, as much as I love our pelirroja!

[raven_bard]

*takes the chocolate, smuggles it under pillow* Thanks for the treat...I'm actually not allowed chocolate unless it's in liquid form aka hot chocolate. Something about it being bad for my already bad throat but hey what my housemate doesn't know won't kill her. *smiles*

Don't be amazed...being confined to one's bed results in one having to get creative in ways to entertain oneself. It was either sleep, surf the net and read fanfics (an activity which I exhausted very quickly...never read so many fanfics and commented so fast before) or write the next chapter. Lol.

Glad you enjoyed yet another trip down memory lane. I actually really enjoy writing their childhood, I might even be tempted to start a new story based on little Pepa and Silvia. But let's finish this one first. As for Silvia's horrific wall that's got everybody's nickers in a twist...I told Jem I'm desperately hunting for Thor's hammer..it's huge, it should smack that wall from right under our pelirroja. Otherwise be my guest. Lean it and smack her for me. :-)

[lenageek]

I think it takes me longer to go back and read the comments than the chapter - haha!

Ooh, another hot chocolate lover! [Leans in for high five] I'll dump some more on you for your hot chocolate stash!

Waiting for more angst and for the hammer to smack that wall out from under Silvia - I get the feeling she's going to dissolve into one big, messy pile of sobs once it hits, but hopefully she'll be in Pepa's arms when it happens. Call me a fan of snuggling! ;D

[kiarcheo]

yes, DL was decisely having a easier time with Pepa
I love the flashbacks
and...okay, everyone understand that silvia is hurting, but now she is being also selfish, not caring (or, as I hope, being aware) that she is hurting other people, the ones who love her and whom she loves...but brick by brick we'll destroy her walls...right, raven?
sorry to hear that you are ill, hope that you get better soon
can't wait for the next part

[raven_bard]

*nods* Yeah...Silvia needs to return back to reality. But no worries...all that bottled up emotion has to go somewhere. The dam WILL break...it's like a fizzy can of soda...shake it hard enough and it'll explode. The results are messy but hey, everything's out!

Thanks for liking the flashback and this new chapter. And thanks for leaving a comment. Much appreciated *smiles*
