Incest/Taboo Unbelievable

"Darcy, bring the EEG in here; let's see what's happening while he's asleep," Dr. Shaw ordered, peering back at her nurse, who nodded before bounding off. "Can I ask why he hasn't called you that in so long?"

"When he got out of Raven Dale, unbeknownst to us, the man we trusted with his welfare took his memories. So when we brought him home, he didn't know a single one of us. No matter that we were his family to him, we were just strangers to him. Which he blamed for what happened to someone very special to him. Since then, he's been very distant to us, not that I can blame him. He's suffered because we didn't listen to him," Katherine said, vaguely giving out some of John's background, bringing his hand up to her lips, placing a kiss on the back of it. Hoping that the feel of her lips would help him deal with what was happening inside of his mind.

"Ah," Dr. Shaw muttered, knowing there had to be more behind that tale, yet she wasn't going to push. "Well, he's going to be out for a while; I'd advice the both of you to go get something to eat and get some rest. I know this has been a very stressful day for the two of you. If anything changes, I'll call you immediately." Stepping out of the room, peering back at them as she watched them whispering to him. Pulling out her phone from her lab coat pocket, walking back towards her office to write up her report as she brought up her husband's phone number. "Hey, honey, have I told you lately how much I love you?"

"Not since this morning; why? What's going on?"

"You know that patient I told you about?"

"Yeah, the one you had me consulate on if he would be a good candidate for your trial?"

"Mmmhmm."

"Okay, what about him?"

"Just seeing the love and support he has just reminded me of you," Dr. Shaw said in a sweet tone.

"Well, that's nice to hear; I take it the operation was successful?"

"To early to tell, but I'm hopeful."

"I take it you're going to be there all night?"

"I am sorry honey..."

"No, no, I knew this about you when I married you. Want to say goodnight to Molly now or call back at her bedtime?"

"Now, I have a lot of work to do to write up my preliminary findings."

It had been nearly a week since John's arrival in Ohio. In the days leading up to his departure to return home, two more patients had been admitted to the rooms of the wing of the hotel. He learned one of them was there because of a stroke, and the other was there because the man had suffered brain damage due to a car accident. Yet it seemed to him that the drug was working better on them than it was on him. Since he had yet to have another outburst of brain activity like he had when he first woke up after surgery. Although, his dreams had become a little weird over the ensuing days. John knew his mother and Annie were waiting on pins and needles for something like that to happen again, yet nothing they or he tried could spark the memories that were taken from him.

"Johnny," Annie called out to him as she opened the door. Turning his head, looking at the hotel room door, a flash in his mind flared, showing Annie to be fifteen instead of twenty as she walked through the door. "Something wrong, baby?" she asked, quickly hurrying up to his side as John was shaking his head.

"It's..." Rubbing his eyes, not seeing the girl from the past as his eyes opened. "Nothing," Johnny stated as he sat on the edge of the hospital bed, eager to go home. "Where's Mama?" he asked, unaware of using the term from his past, which Annie kept from showing on her face.

"She went to the rental agency to pick us up a car or whatever to take us home," Annie said, stepping closer to her brother. Keeping her smile hidden as John's legs opened as if on instinct, allowing her to enter his personal space. "You feeling okay?" she asked, wrapping her arms around his neck, watching how his green eyes were studying her face.

"Yeah, just want to go home," Johnny admitted.

"And we will be; we just need to wait for your doctor to say you're healthy enough to travel," Annie stated; her eyes went wide when she felt John's hands grabbing handfuls of her ass. "Johnny!" she gasped, her body heating rapidly after days of no sex. She or her mother didn't want to stress his body just to fulfill their sexual urges.

"What? You've been shaking this thing in my face for the past six days, Anastasia, don't blame me when I play with it," Johnny said with a coy smirk.

"I have not," Annie said in a playful huff; all the while, her mind was going wild given how John had yet to call her by her nickname; it was always her given name, just like before he went into Raven Dale.

"Have too," Johnny said, watching his sister's eyes widen then narrow in hunger when the slap of his hand on her ass rang loudly in the room.

"You best not start something that you can't finish," Annie stated, feeling her pussy beginning to throb after days of no sex, at least no heterosexual sex. She and her mother had plenty of sex to ease the tension over the days.

"I'll risk it."

"Are you..." Just then, as Annie was about to start her seduction to bring forth the beast, as she liked to call it, at least to herself, a knock came upon the door.

"Mr. Masters?" the nurse said, sticking her head into the room after the customary wait to insure John wasn't naked.

"Yeah?"

"I have your lunch for you," she spoke as she pushed the door open and carried in the tray of food. Keeping her mouth closed at how quickly Annie moved out from between his legs. Setting the tray down on the rolling table and pushed it in front of John. "I'm just going to check you over while you eat, okay?" the nurse said; she took her job and the health of the people she watched over very seriously. "Now, just breathe deeply like before," she ordered once she lifted up the back of his shirt. She didn't mean to, yet her eyes couldn't help but notice the bulge in John's shorts. "Lucky girl," she muttered to herself as she glanced at Annie. "Let me just redress your wounds, and I'll be out of your hair, okay?" she stated in a kind tone as John nodded. Pushing his tray out of the way, spreading his legs enough to stand between them as he lowered his head so she could unwrap the bandages. That was when she felt his nearly erect cock brush against her leg. While she would never risk her license in getting involved with a patient, that didn't stop her mind from wondering just how big that hard steel rod was as she slyly brushed her thigh along it. "There, all done; I'll come back in an hour or two to check on you again," she said, waving to the two of them, after pushing the table back to its spot before John, as she left the room.

Katherine was walking through the hotel lobby after returning from the car rental place. Picking up the van that Brandan had paid for their drive home, the car rental place was very kind to send someone out to pick her up; she just had to sign a few papers and make sure she could turn the car back to one of their offices back in their hometown when they got home. Looking oddly at the three nurses that oversaw the care of her son and the two others that were staying on the same wing. Arching an eyebrow when she saw one nurse just holding her hands apart, wondering what they were talking about, yet their conversation was too low for her to overhear as she headed towards her son's room.

"Hey, baby," Katherine greeted, seeing how John's fork stopped in midair as he turned to look at her as she entered the room. Keeping how he was looking at her oddly to herself as she pushed the door closed.

"Hey, where did you go?" Johnny asked, returning to his meal.

"I told you where I was going, silly," Katherine said, glancing over to Annie, wondering if she had noticed something different about him. "You know your dad rented us a van so we can drive home once Dr. Shaw releases you," she stated, sitting down beside her son on his bed. While she loved her son to death, yet sleeping on a cot for six days was not as comfortable as you would might expect. She was ready to go home and sleep in her own bed. "I see something is up," she purred after slipping her hand into John's shorts. Smirking at her daughter as she huffed and puffed out her cheeks. She knew Annie was the one that had gotten him hard, and she was going to take advantage of it.

"Mama?!" The word stopped Katherine in her tracks as her hand was wrapped around her son's thick root.

"Shh, baby, it's okay, we both need this, it's been six long days, and I've been drooling over this cock every morning," Katherine uttered, using her other hand to free his manhood from his shorts. "See, baby, it likes it when it's in my hand," she cooed as his crown swelled at the idea. "You just relax and let mama take care of this hard cock of yours," Katherine stated, leaning forward, her brown hair filling his lap as her lips wrapped around his cock.

"No fair?!" Annie huffed as she stomped. If the nurse hadn't shown up, she knew it would be in her mouth at that very moment, working towards having it back in her pussy where it belonged.

"My, baby, that certainly was quite a lot," Katherine said, coming up after John had unleashed his load into her mouth. She knew after six days of not having any sexual contact, John would be ready to explode in a matter of minutes. Her blue eyes smirked at Annie as the pad of her fingertip ran along her lower lip. "Now, you just finish up your lunch," she said in a loving tone as she brushed her hand along the back of her son's head. Ignoring the burning glare, she was getting from Annie as she did so. Pushing herself back when Annie rolled the table out of the way after she was sure John was done with his lunch.

"No one is going to get my cock that I worked to get hard," Annie uttered, dropping to her knees and took her brother's soft member into her mouth. Once, he was hard again, wiggling her pants and underwear down, resting a hand on the edge of the dresser just to show off her wet pussy to him. "Look at it, Johnny, look how much it's missed you," she moaned softly as her fingers ran over her wet labia. Reaching back, she wasn't about to allow John to overexert himself, not when she was more than willing to ride his hard cock. "God, baby, you're so big," Annie groaned as she slid down his cock. "So deep," she sighed in lust, "just how I like it,"

Once Annie and Katherine were sated, they had a call from Dr. Shaw informing them she would be there in thirty minutes to discuss John's care and her findings. After cleaning themselves up and airing out the room so the doctor wouldn't suspect anything. Annie and Katherine kept their faces placid as the doctor and John talked while his cum dripped down onto their panties. Then the good news came when Dr. Shaw told John she was confident that he was well enough to head home. Instead of staying another night, they opted to hit the road that evening only after Dr. Shaw did another exam on John before leaving the hotel. Telling John and the others that she wanted him to visit his doctor. The first thing when they got back home just to ensure that nothing happened to his health on the long voyage.

Annie and Katherine moved at lightning speed in packing up their bags, eager to be back in the comfort of their own home. "You just sit there, baby," Katherine stated, helping John into the middle seat of the van. "If you get too tired, you just stretch out along it, okay?" she said in a motherly voice as Annie stowed their bags in the back. They weren't planning on stopping unless it was for food, gas, or bathroom breaks. Katherine had been away from her husband and family for too long, and she, and she knew the other two were just as eager to get home. After a day and a few hours of hard driving, with Katherine and Annie switching off every few hours to give the other enough time to sleep, the van slowly pulled to a stop along the curb in front of their house. Janus was the first one out the door when Annie had sent a text that they were there.

"Oh, baby! I missed you so much!" Janus exclaimed as she buried John's face in her bosom as she held him tightly.

"Everything went okay, right?" Brandan asked, hugging his wife. That was the longest either of them had been away from each other, and both were eager to spend some alone time with one another.

"Just a few hiccups, nothing major," Katherine said, sighing into her husband's chest, feeling so content in his arms.

"Hey, Johnny, welcome home," Brandan greeted with a warm smile on his lips.

"Hey, Pops," Johnny replied, arching an eyebrow at the surprised look on his father's face. Not realizing that was the name he had once called his father before his stay in Raven Dale.

"How you feeling, bro?" Bill asked, slyly glancing at his parents.

"Like someone drilled holes in my head, but at least I don't scratch my butt when I fart," Johnny said, taking a jab at Ray.

"Hey, now, that's uncalled for," Ray stated, looking down when Wanda giggled.

"Makes me wonder how she puts up with it," Johnny said, walking hand in hand towards the front door with Janus. "I need a shower; want to join me?" he asked in a sinful tone as he peered at her.

"Very much so," Janus stated before dragging him off to their own house, where they had a shower big enough for the two of them.

"Okay, what's going on?" Brandan asked once John and Janus had entered their home. "He hasn't called me that in years?!"

"I know, baby, don't I know it," Katherine said with a wide smile on her lips. "Come. I'm hungry and would rather not talk about this in the front yard. Bill, Ray, get our bags, will you?"

"Sure, Mom," Bill nodded.

"Okay, start from the beginning," Brandan stated; they all had cut out of work and school to be here when they got home so John would have his support system in place should he need it. "Really?! He's been calling you that?" he asked in disbelief.

"Does he know he's been doing it?" Bill asked when his mother told them about how he was once he had woken up after the operation and during his stay at the hotel that she and Annie hadn't covered over the phone.

"I don't know if he does," Annie said as she held her spoon before her lips; the milk dripped off it and back down into her bowl of cereal. "But he hasn't stopped calling me Anastasia either."

"Wow," Ray uttered, blowing out a breath. "Do you think it's working?"

"I do," Katherine answered with a nod of her head.

"Has he referenced anything about his memories that you two would know about?" Ruth asked, very happy that it appeared the operation had worked, and she hoped it would continue to get better as John healed.

"No," shaking her head, "but I'm hoping that now that Johnny's home in a familiar setting, it will help to bring them out more often than being in that hotel room," Katherine said, sipping on her coffee after finishing her breakfast. "Reminds me; I have to call his doctor to set up an appointment with him."

"I'll do it; you just go rest. I know you three must be sore and strained being on the road for so long," Brandan stated in a warm, caring tone as he held his wife's hand.

"Only if my stallion joins me," Katherine said, giving her husband that look he knew so well.

"Oh, you can count on it," Brandan stated, seeing that burning hunger in his wife's eyes as he gently squeezed her hand. When he reached his bedroom, he saw that sexy smirk on her face as his wife just stood in her underwear. It didn't take more than five seconds before Brandan's clothes went flying all over the room.

"God, I've missed this," Katherine sighed as she wiggled her ass into her husband's groin. Feeling her body heating as Brandan nibbled on the left side of her neck while his hand fondled her left breast. Reaching back, slipping her hand into his underwear, wrapping her fingers around his shaft, working to get that phallus she fell in love with hard as Brandan showed her just how much he had missed her as well.

"Yes, that's it, baby," Janus moaned lightly, yet her voice echoed off the shower walls as John reached around and rubbed her clit as she thrusted back against him as her breasts justled. "I've been so damn horny all week!" she groaned as John's manhood touched all the right places.

"That so?"

"Mmmhmm, you best make your horny wife cum lots and lots, you hear?" Janus muttered, feeling her juices running down her thighs. She had moved the showerhead to its lowest angle, so it didn't get John's bandages or stitches wet. Yet that didn't stop her from dropping to a squat, nearly ripping John's pants off and inhaling his manhood the first few seconds they entered their bathroom. Her eyes smiled up at her husband when John could barely stand as she went to town on his pole. She couldn't tear her gaze away from that slick, hard, wet pole as she stripped off her clothes. For almost nine days, she's had to pleasure herself just to curb some of her horniness. She was even tempted to climb into Brandan's bed and rock his world for a second before her mind overruled her horniness. She would then just roll over and get out the vibrator she had bought to at least placate it for a time until she could be back in the arms of her man, and not another thought of lining their beds entered her mind.

"That's it, Johnny, fuck me, I need it?!" Janus demanded, listening to how her ass was bouncing as John hammered his point home. "Fuck!" she screamed out as her legs threatened to buckle out from beneath her as she came hard on her husband's cock. "Yes, baby, play with me some more; I need your touch," Janus panted, resting her back against his chest. Mewing as John's left hand fondled her left breast while his other kept teasing her clit, her folds squeezing his cock that was still lodged within her hot cunt. Her eyes rolled, her body quaked, her flood of cream gushed out from around his cock as she felt his hot seed filling her pussy. After toweling each other off, Janus rested naked against John on their bed as his eyes slowly began to close. A large, warm, satisfied smile was on her face as she snuggled her man tightly before they fell asleep for their little nap. So very happy that John was home and came out of the operation intact.

Janus stirred about thirty minutes later, slowly opening her eyes to see Annie standing in their bedroom doorway as John still slumbered in his exhaustion from the long trip home. Holding out her arm to Annie, telling her to get her cute little butt in bed with them. Which as you can imagine, it didn't take Annie long to find herself draping herself along John's left side. The two of them shared a kiss with one another like they always did, at first it was to get John horny and eager to fuck the daylights out of them, but now it's grown to the point where they enjoyed it since they knew they would be together for many, many years.

A month and a half had passed since John's operation, and the family was picking up the hints that John's memory was slowly trickling through the damaged portion of his brain. Due to how John would comment on how something was missing from his childhood home or how he would do a double take when he peered at his father, who, at the time of his memories, had a beard while now clean-shaven. Who, as you can guess, got a huge grin from his father when John said he liked it, while Katherine rolled her eyes when Brandan looked at her.

She never liked it; it didn't feel good on her kitty when Brandan was between her legs or how his mother's face would get rather red whenever John commented on how tight her jeans were when his mind sent him back into the past. However, that wasn't the biggest revolution, at least in Annie's case, when one morning when they were all looking for John, who wasn't in the house at the time, only to find him in the backyard standing beneath the mulberry tree. His fingers ran along the carving his sister had put there. Annie cried hard as she crushed John in a tight embrace when he remembered that day with clarity and not a hint of a headache.

Ruth and Wanda had really taken to tutoring John in the mornings before they went off to their classes. Granted, they were normally soaked when they did after teasing John when no one was home. That was until Bill came back one day since he had forgotten one of his textbooks, only to find Ruth standing in nothing but her underwear as she instructed John. Who had actually passed his finals and got his diploma far earlier than his counterparts. Bill wasn't happy to find her nearly naked when she was supposed to be tutoring John, yet when the reports came in on how well John had been doing in his homeschooling, Bill couldn't say much about it. Bill had wondered if that was why Ruth had cornered him in some private area of their college and fucked his brains out, yet he couldn't deny he didn't enjoy it.

Janus' baby shower went off without a hitch, as did Ruth's bachelorette party. Where Brylee and Liana had sucked and fucked the stripper they had hired for Ruth, who behaved herself throughout the night. When the stripper thought he could get her pussy, Ruth just gave him a look and said: why would I want to fuck that small thing when, if I want, I can fuck someone far, far bigger than that thing? She was not happy with her friends who were trying to push her into it, so she left and left her friends to pay for the stripper they just had to have. Ruth didn't talk to her friends for a week and a half afterwards. She just couldn't believe they were trying to get her to betray Bill like that. She thought her friends were better than that. Then when Brylee said: you fuck that freak, and you're mad about this. Ruth slapped the hell out of Brylee for that remark about John. Who was shocked not by the slap but by how Ruth kicked Brylee out of her bridesmaid lineup. Wanda followed after her since if Ruth wasn't going to stay, she had no reason to either.

When Ruth came home that day, John noticed how foul her mood was. He was a little taken aback when Ruth just walked up to him and hugged him tightly. He looked to Annie when he was uncertain about what to do before Ruth asked him to come with her. Who proceeded to ride his pole for a good hour to get her friend out of her mind. Wanda just couldn't allow Ruth to hog John all to herself since it had been a few weeks since she and John had been together. No one wanted to stress his mind or body when he was still recovering from his operation. That was until his doctor gave him the go-ahead to resume his normal activities. When Bill and Ray got home that night from Bill's own bachelor party, they found Ruth and Wanda going to town in Bill's room with John in the center of it.

Who quickly joined the three, yet John saw himself out and back into the arms of Janus and Annie. Once his schooling was done, Yasmine flew in to officiate their renewal. Brandan just smiled like a proud father as he helped John with his tie. As they stood in his room while the women were fawning over Janus and Annie to make them the prettiest they could for this special event. How Annie looked gorgeous as she, with Janus, who also looked stunning even at five and a half months pregnant, walked side by side as they walked towards John. Katherine cried like mad as Brandan held her, not tears of sadness but of happiness at how happy her daughter looked as she stood beside John and the way she looked at him. Actually, all the women in the family that weren't up there with John were crying. Then again, it was a very happy moment for the Masters family. Yasmine was going to stay the day before John, and his wives went on their honeymoon as in making good on the suggestion Yasmine had given him the last time she was in town. However, as the three of them were going at it very heavily for John's entertainment, the most unfortunate fate struck.

Janus and Annie screamed as John had another seizure. The three quickly covered themselves as the rush feet raced towards the bedroom. Katherine, Ruth, and Wanda rushed in so as not to embarrass either Janus or Yasmine, with the other Masters men filing into the room. Ruth was rapidly talking to the emergency dispatch as Katherine and Wanda kept John from harming himself while his seizure went on. The three raced to get dressed, no one brought up the elephant in the room with the smell of their sex heavy in the air.

"Johnny, baby, hold on, I'm here; I'm not leaving you," Katherine muttered, holding back her tears as she and Wanda kept him from harming himself.

"Help is coming; just stay with us," Wanda uttered tearfully as the foam began to froth along the corners of John's mouth.

"Can we come in?" Brandan asked through the door, he didn't want to burst in and upset either Janus or Yasmine, yet he wanted to get to his son.

Katherine looked behind her, watching Janus wiggle her jeans on while Yasmine was yanking her shirt down her chest. She had to admit Yasmine had a very appealing body. Annie wasn't worried about what she looked like as she stuffed a bag full of John's clothes and her tablet for when he woke up. "Okay, now you can," Katherine called out to her husband once Yasmine and Janus were clothed.

"What happened?" Bill asked as the three of them filed into the room.

"I don't know, one minute we were getting heavy, the next John just..." Yasmine's voice trailed off as Bill pulled John's right eyelid open, yet his pupil was unresponsive to the light of his room.

"The ambulance is on its way," Ruth stated, shutting off her phone.

"Why did this have to happen of all the days," Katherine sobbed into her hands as she knelt on the floor in front of her son.

"Honey, you nor Johnny could have known this would happen. Even with his medication, we know this can still happen," Brandan said, comforting his wife as he wrapped his arm around her as he got to a knee.

"But what it if damages his brain? What if it stops the drug from working," Katherine exclaimed, holding onto Brandan's shirt, tears streaming down her cheeks, knowing her son's memories were slowly but surely surfacing. She had been waiting for the moment she and John could reminisce about them while sitting on their couch, her snuggling up to him, or the reverse, all to relive the past with her son.

"Come, we need to get him outside," Bill said, looking over at Ray, who nodded. Ruth ran ahead, making sure nothing was in their way as Bill and Ray carried John by his arms and legs towards the front door.

Janus flew into the back of the ambulance the moment they loaded up John. The rest piled into the van, the image of Janus pressing the back of John's hand against her forehead could be seen as the Paramedic driver closed the rear doors as his partner worked to stabilize John's vitals, giving how his breathing was shallow, and his skin had lost some of its color. Katherine was hot on the heels of the ambulance as she was not about to allow her son one moment without her by her side. Annie was on the phone with the hotel they had made for their honeymoon, telling her there's been a medical emergency and she would like to push their reservations back for two weeks so her husband could recover enough to enjoy their honeymoon. Then Annie flew into a fit of rage when the hotel couldn't do as they asked since she hadn't given them forty-eight-hour notice. To which Annie screamed: Well, sorry, that I can't predict when my husband has a seizure. I'm so sorry for your inconvenience. All but Katherine were peering at Annie at her very, very pointed sarcasm. Screaming into her phone, telling them to forget the reservation; she wouldn't want to subject her husband to the kind of service they were offering.

"Damn, sis, way to go off on the person," Ray stated; he hadn't seen this side of his sister in a long time.

"They disrespect my man, they disrespect me; I'm not putting up with that shit; Johnny shouldn't either," Annie huffed, crossing her arms below her breasts.

"Right on," Yasmine stated, squeezing Annie's left shoulder. Knowing how much she was worried about John while hiding it behind her anger.

"Breathe honey, you're not going to do Johnny any good if you get us in a wreck," Brandan whispered as he lightly placed his hand on his wife's right thigh.

"I'm just so scared, honey," Katherine uttered, placing her hand over his and squeezing it for strength to see her through this.

"I know, I know how much Johnny getting his memories back means to you," Brandan said reassuringly, returning her squeeze.

"Did you know he's been hugging me the way he used to do?" Katherine sniffled, wiping away a tear as they neared the ER entrance of the hospital.

"Oh? So the cuddles haven't resumed yet, huh?" Brandan asked in a teasing light, just to get her mind off of John's plight.

"No... but I'm hoping soon," Katherine whispered, her cheeks heating at the thought of holding her baby just like all the years leading up to his hospitalization. "I miss holding my baby in my arms like we used to do," she spoke; another sniffle filled the cab of the van.

"I know you do, honey," Brandan said in a loving tone. "So what do you think? Johnny thought it was a good idea..."

"No?!" Shaking her head vehemently, getting a rather wide grin out of her husband. "Under no circumstances are you going to grow that thing again, not if you want to taste my pussy anytime soon," Katherine stated very firmly, trying not to smile, knowing exactly what her husband was doing, and she loved him for it.

"Why not? Johnny said he thought it was dashing," Brandan said, checking himself out in the vanity mirror.

"I forbid it?!"

"Why?"

"Because it scratches my coochy, and I don't like it," Katherine uttered, sticking her nose up into the air as she pulled into the hospital parking lot. Bringing Brandan into a tight hug, burying her face into his neck as the others filed out the side door. Feeling his hand gently rubbing her back as she silently wept, hoping that this didn't interfere with the drug that had been injected into John's brain.

As they all walked into the ER wing of the hospital, they heard Janus arguing with the nurse that was working the front desk. "You don't understand. I need to be back there!"

"Ma'am, I need you to calm down, your son..."

"He's my husband!" Janus' hands slammed down onto the surface as her voice rose ever higher. "You don't understand if he wakes up in his state... just let me see my husband," she pleaded as tears began to form in her tears.

"Ma'am, I understand you're worried, but I can't let you back there until the doctor and staff have stabilized his condition; I'm sorry. I promise the moment I hear something, I'll take you back to see him, I swear," the nurse said as gently as she could as she lightly touched Janus' hand, clearly seeing how distraught Janus was at that moment.

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have yelled at you like that; it's the hormones; they just hit me so hard."

"I've been there a few times myself," the nurse said with a warm smile.

Janus looked to her left as she felt a soft touch on her left shoulder, seeing just how worried Katherine was as she was at that very moment. Falling into Katherine's embrace, "Shh, shh, Johnny's going to be alright. I know he will; this stress isn't good for you or the baby," Katherine whispered in a sweet tone as she tried to calm Janus down. She knew how much her hormones were playing with her; it was the same for her when she carried her children. "Come, we can't do anything but wait for them to come get us," she said in a soft tone, seeing Janus nodding along as she led her over to the chairs that filled the waiting room.

It was thirty minutes later when they heard a loud: 'No! No! No!' then, the crashing of metal. "You will not take me back there!" Johnny screamed out, clearly having awoken in one of his episodes.

Annie and Janus quickly got to their feet as they saw nurses rushing to the room they had taken John to. "Johnny!" They cried out as one as he flew into the hallway. Watching how his head was a swivel as the nurses ringed him in.

"I'd rather die than let you raping assholes take me back to that room!" Clearly, his delusional mind was not seeing the people as they were, yet the men that had tormented him so. "Let go of me!" Johnny yelled as three male nurses wrestled with him to keep him from getting ahold of any sharp objects to harm himself with.

"Christ! What is this kid on?!" Grumbled one of the male nurses as his muscles stranded to control John's flailing body.

"Baby! Please!" Janus screamed out over the noise. Her hot tears ran down her cheeks as his right eye peered past the left arm of the man that held his legs. Seeing that crazed look in the depths of that pool of green, knowing her John was not at home at the moment. That the insanity that dwelled within had taken hold of his mind, making him believe he was still in that horrid place. "Don't fight them; they're only trying to help," she spoke in a pleading tone, getting as close as the nursing staff would allow. "Don't let this control you; come back to me, come back to us," Janus said in a loving tone as she rested her hands on her stomach.

"No! You're trying to confuse me! I'm not going back to that room!" Johnny roared, renewing his struggle.

"No, I am not! Don't you remember? Don't you remember our first night? The way you held me, touched me, made love to me?" Janus asked, knowing she had to get him out of this episode before they took drastic measures. "The gift you gave me that I thought I would never, ever have in this life?" she inquired, keeping his focus on her and not fighting the nurses. "Don't you remember the nights we would sit out on the back porch and just talk, cuddle," feeling her face burning, recounting the way he would look at her, "to our nights in bed where we just held each other? To the day when you agreed to be my man, my husband, the man that I want to share the rest of my life with?" A coldness washed over her as his body grew still, how he tilted his head to the right and wore a smile that was devoid of any love or warmness.

"Johnny's not here. I am." Janus' eyes went wide; for the first time she had ever known him, she was actually afraid. For the voice that left his lips was not the one of the man she loved. She had no idea who that was. "And I will not be sil..." His body went limp as the doctor injected a sedative into John's neck, given how he was distracted at that moment. The stress was too much for her, fainting; Ray and Bill both reacted quickly as they caught her in their arms. Both brothers looked towards their younger sibling as the nurses carried John back to his room, then peered back at each other only one word left their lips. 'John.'

Dr. Copper had rushed to the hospital once Katherine and Brandan had called her. She had seen hints, nothing tangible, of another psyche lying dormant in his mind. While it never reached the surface, yet it was in his eyes. Her mind raced as to what would have caused it to surface now of all times. Her hair was flying about as her heels echoed on the tile floor as she ran towards the elevator.

"Oh, thank God, you're here," Katherine sighed in relief.

"I got here as fast as I could; what's his condition..." Turning her head as curses, screaming, and a coldness she's never felt from John just blew threw the door as the nurses scurried out of the room in fright. "What caused this?"

"We don't know," Janus said worryingly as she chewed on her nail. "He had a seizure a few hours ago, then he woke up in one of his episodes, and then this happened," she stated, waving her hand towards the door. Wrapping her arm around Annie as she was fighting not to break down crying.

"Stay behind me; I will see if I can't snap him out of this persona," Dr. Copper instructed as her hand rested on the door handle as she peered back at them. The moment they entered the room, the most sinister laughter filled the air.

"What's this? Is the good ol' doc here to rescue the weak crybaby?" John uttered cruelly.

"Johnny..."

"It's John!" he snapped, causing them all to involuntary jump as his arms tested the strength of his bindings. "I am not! That weak, sniveling fool!"

"Baby..."

"Oh, look, it's mother dearest here to once again kill my friend, yes?" John asked; his green eyes were dark and lifeless. "This is what you wanted, mother," sneering at the title, "to have your li'l John back," he spat. "With all his little memories." His maddening laughter filled the room at how horrified their faces appeared to be. "Be silent!" John growled, snapping his head towards the window while all the others saw was his reflection; John, on the other hand, saw the other him. "I've had to listen and listen to your whining for years locked away! I will not give it up! I'm free now!"

"John, who are you talking to?" Dr. Copper asked, holding up her right hand as Janus began to move.

"Come, now, you're supposedly smart. Who do you think I'm referring to?" John asked in a condescending tone.

"And Johnny is in there, locked away?" Dr. Copper did not care for how John just rolled his eyes at her.

"Boy, you sure do need to find another profession if you must ask the obvious."

Janus had heard enough! She was not going to let this... personality take her man away. Not ever! Blowing past Dr. Copper, raising her hand, she knew for certain that he was not the man she loved as those cold, lifeless eyes gazed up at her when he turned his head. "Forgive me, Johnny," Janus whispered before her mighty slap rang out within the room. Her hands clamped firmly on John's shoulders with a dead-set look in her eyes to get her man back. "Give me back my husband?!"

"No," John said coldly. "I was here first," he sneered. "He's the intruder, not I. Anyway," Janus felt soiled as those cold eyes ran down her body as John probed his cheek with his tongue, "stick around, and I might want some of what he's been sampling." Again, John's head rocked to the side by the slap.

"Give me back my Johnny!" Janus screamed as John just laughed madly at her frantic plight.

"Must I repeat myself? I was here first! This is my body, my mind, my... I told you to shut up!" John snapped at his reflection once again. "What can you do, huh! Wimpy boy! Can't even..." John's voice froze, his eyes closed tightly as his chin dropped and turned to the right slightly. "You don't belong?!" he growled menacingly as the two personas fought for control of their single mind.

Feet rushed towards the foot of John's bed; her hands gripped the bed's footboard. How she hated to do this, yet this was not her son! It whatever it was, it was not her little boy. She was not about to let John fight this battle alone! "Johnny, fight?! Johnny, fight with everything you got. Come back to us, don't let this imposter take over..."

"Such harsh words for your own child. Do you expect the mother of the year award?" John asked, interrupting his mother only to fall forward, squinting his eyes; his head pounded as Johnny was wrestling him for control. His left opened an inch; the glint of the gold band and the sparkle of the three diamonds held his mind enthralled as his former persona and his present one fought for dominance.

"Don't you give up on me, Johnny; don't you leave us, you hear? Julia is going to need her daddy; I'm going to need my man," Janus took a risk, reaching down and slipping her hand into his left. Nodding to Annie, who had walked around her mother and came to stand across from her.

"Johnathan Evan Masters, you listen, and you listen well; you are Johnny, and you are John as well. Yet this is not the brother I know. This is not the boy I used to run around with in the backyard with; you are not the boy that kissed my knee when I scraped it. Whatever you are, you are not welcome here. Now give me back my brother?!" Annie spoke in a stern and firm voice, yet her tears glistened in her eyes, having to watch her brother battle his own mind and all she could do was be there for him.

"Remember what we are to one another, remember the vows we spoke to each other, remember what we promised on that day, remember Johnny," she whispered into his left ear as she pressed her forehead against the side of his. "Try to remember how much we love you." Janus and Annie both jumped back as John's back slammed hard against the bed, they both looked down at their hands, yet John refused to let go of them. His grip wasn't painful; nevertheless, they would not let him wage this battle alone, not if they could help it. No one said a word as John beat his head against the bed as his mental struggle ensued within his own mind. A battle Johnny had to face alone. However, after what seemed like an eternity to them, his movements stopped, and his hands fell from their grips.​
