The Right to Love - Part 16

Title: The Right to Love

Spoilers: Takes place after ep 101 (8x09) after Pepa and Silvia have become engaged. This is a sequel to my previous PepSi fanfic, In Love’s Defense. My fic follows LHDP up to ep 101 but departs from the show at that point - ep 104 never has and never will exist in this version of Pepa and Silvia’s world.

Rating: PG-13. I’m

I cant believe this LG! I came in to have a look hoping for one update and there's 3!! You go girl!
I think this chapter is so beautifully written.. Especially loved how you described Silvia's pain.. How she can feel Pepa's pain.. How she struggled to wake up and finally Silvia waking up to Pepa's laugh.. That is like the best thing for anyone to wake up to..
I was working in intensive care and I am impressed how accurate the medical side of things are.. All the wires and tubes attached are exactly what my patients have everyday.. Although most folks in the intensive care are not as lucky as Silvia.. And there are little medical side of things that are not 100% but I dont think anyone would mind.. All that matters is Silvia is back to life and it is so beautifully written!
Well, off I go to read the next chapters! I am so in love with your writing!!

Hola suying87!

Thanks for the lovely comments on the updates! So sorry I didn't reply sooner since I was on vacation. I had to somehow write in that Silvia woke up when she heard Pepa laughing - after all, that was her request, that she hear Pepa's laugh in she was in a coma.

Thanks for the feedback on the medical side. Wow, you so such a great service to others by working in intensive care in your job! Bravo! I know I'm fudging things a bit since I know most patients aren't that lucky as I make Silvia out to be. But I had to do it, for the sappy, romantic side of me! :D

That's right! I almost forget there's a scene when silvia said that.. Thanx for reminding me! I went back to watch that particular episode.. Was thinking if only the series went the way your fic went.. Wouldn't it be perfect?

Don't get me wrong.. I certainly have patients who left intensive care and back to their normal life.. So it is perfectly normal.. And definitely romantic too.. Can't wait for your next update, but no pressure! ;-)

How did your vacation go? You said you went to Xena convention? How was it?

Lol! I think any ending would be more perfect than the one that actually aired! Even the Satan and 666 crap in S9 would have been tolerable with PepSi still around!

Trying to work on the next update, but I'm a bit stuck since writing action sequences is not my favorite since it's so difficult! Got excited starting to do a bit of research for my next long PepSi fic - I wasn't even planning to write one until a few weeks ago when the idea hit me and now won't leave me alone! :D

The Xena con was fun times and laughter with good friends. They're my second family! An awesome time, as always!

I actually looked up those book titles on Amazon - for, ahem, research and all! ;p

And tho I wanted to end the chapter with Silvia waking up, I wanted to make it clear that she remembered the important things and who she was.
