'It was over,' Julia thought as she stared out the window of her apartment. She now knew that Sean would never love her the way he used to. She began thinking of the possible life she could have had with Christian. After experiencing it while in surgery, she was glad she would never have wanted that as it was. She couldn't live with Christian like that. But he wasn't like that in this reality. Could they have a normal life together?

Sure, he was in love with her and always had been. But would her relationship with him be like it was in her dream, or would they be completely devoted to each other. This was reality. Christian appeared to want to settle down. Did he really want to? Could she have the life with him he told her he wanted?

Sean and she could never again have the relationship that they had before. Would it be right for her to pursue a relationship with Christian? What would that do to his and Sean's business relationship? What would that do to their personal relationship? They had all been friends for so long, but that friendship was tainted when Sean found out he was not Matt's biological father after all. It was Christian who had fathered Matt. Who would have known that one night of passion with the man of Julia's dreams would have resulted in the birth of her son?

But she had given birth to Christian's child, not Sean's. After all these years, she finally knew. She had always wondered if that one night she had conceived Christian's child, and now she knew. All these years she had hoped that Sean had really helped her to conceive Matt, but to no avail.

She and Christian parented a child together. She seriously began to wonder what else they could share together. Any relationship they had didn't have to turn out like it did in her experience she had while she was under. Did it?

She decided to get herself all dressed up and went over to Christian's apartment. She was going to find out if they could have the relationship she had dreamt about before, and she was going to find out tonight.

As she walked down the hall she took a deep breath. There was no turning back now. She was here. She approached the door, raised one hand and…

The door opened. Before her stood Christian, and he was shirtless. He was about to say something, but then just smiled at her. She smiled back and he stepped aside to let her walk in.

She did.
