Forbidden Sins

Stranger

After a couple hours, Sal texted Joe telling him that he was bringing Q back to the hospital. Murray had popped in but it was obvious that Skylar was getting confused the more people she met so he didn't stay long.

After some lunch, Skylar started asking a lot of questions. She finally understood that she had some major memory lose and it was almost 2 years later than what she thought. Bessy was doing her best to fill in the blanks as best she could.

"You're not pregnant anymore." Skylar laughed. According to Skylar's memory Bessy was newly pregnant.

"She's a year and a half now. Would you like to see pictures?" Bessy asked taking out her phone.

"Bes, she's beautiful!" Skylar smiled at the photos of Milana. "Do I get to see her often?" She asked.

"You work a lot but when you do see her, oh my god, she gets so excited. She loves her cousin Sky!" Bessy raves on about the relationship the two had.

"And I got an internship on Joe's show?" Skylar asked.

"Yup, you got it in the fall. You love it." She smiled.

"Guess I gotta figure out school. Not like I remember anything I've learned in the past two years." She said in complete frustration.

Bessy put her hand over Skylar's, "One step at a time. We can figure that out later."

Skylar was very nervous to ask about her job. In her mind, she had been working at Sapphire for a few months, but she had no idea if she was still there so decided to save that for another time as well. "Can I ask you about that guy that was here earlier?"

"Q?" Bessy asked wondering when Skylar was going to ask.

"Now I'm really confused, thought he said his name was Brian. What's a Q?" Skylar groaned feeling her head begin to ache again.

"Sorry!" Bessy apologized quickly realizing this all must be so confusing to her. "His name is Brian." She laughed, "Q is just a nickname for his last name, Quinn. It's what Joe calls him so it's what I'm used to calling him."

"And he's my boyfriend?" Skylar asked.

"Yup." Bessy answered with a smile, "You two are actually pretty in love." She then went on to explain all she knew about their relationship even the part about Joe being upset about it at first.

After going on for sometime the ladies were interrupted by Joe's voice, "Look what I found  roaming the halls." He laughed with Q standing behind him.

"We were just talking about you." Bessy said getting up to give Brian a tight hug. Like Joe she felt awful and couldn't imagine how Brian must feel right now.

The mood in the room was a mixture of awkwardness and high emotions. Brian gave Joe a look that he interrupted right away as Brian wanting a little privacy. "Let's get you something to eat." Joe said to his wife. "We'll be back in a bit."

Once they were alone Skylar looked up at Brian. "Umm...I'm really sorry how I reacted when I first woke up. That was pretty rude."

"It's okay." Brian sitting in the chair next to Skylar's bed, "You were freaked out, weird older man standing over you." He laughed trying to lighten the mood.

"Bessy was filling me in a little bit but I'm sure you can tell me more about our relationship than she can." She said.

"I actually have some pictures on my phone if you wanted to see." Brian said pulling his phone from his pocket.

Skylar flipped through looking at all these pictures of them out to dinner, at a couple different Broadway shows, on stage at his live shows, and just random ones of them cuddled on the couch together. "We look happy." She said but wasn't smiling. "I'm sorry, it's just kinda weird having a boyfriend but not remembering."
