Future Journey 3/3

Erin

Josh POV

We have been in Georgia for two days now. Erin has less machines attached to her and she has woken up a number of times and seems to recognize people. I am beyond thrilled. Chris has gotten some rest since she has turned a corner and looks better as well. We are sitting in the cafeteria of the hospital chatting and Jeremy calls me up to the room. Not an emergency he says but to come up when we are done. Colleen and I go upstairs and see Erin awake sitting up somewhat. I smile and walk right to her. I haven't seen her awake yet so it is a wonderful site to see. "Josh why are you here?" she whispers. "You" I say. She smiles. "Colleen is here too oh my god...Hi Colleen" she says. Colleen walks up to her and says "I wouldn't be anywhere else Erin. You are my sister too" Colleen says. I squeeze her hand when she said that. It meant the world to me but I guess she is right. Colleen has known Erin for over 13 years, just under half of Erins life. It makes me smile and proud she is mine.

Colleen POV

I am seeing some joy back in Joshs face. Less worry. I am so glad Erin is getting better and it seems Chris got her to medical help in time before any major damage was done. I don't want to think about if he hadn't not only for Chris and family but because Josh would not be the same. His family is everything to him. We decide to go back to the hotel and sleep for a bit and pack as we are going home tomorrow. Josh might come back on his own in a week or so but we need to relieve Rachel from the kids.We get to the hotel and I jump in the shower. I so need to wash off. I come back out and change into PJ's and Josh tells me he ordered room service. I kiss him and start packing stuff. He comes up behind me and just hugs me. I grab his hands and try to turn around to face him but he is holding me so tight. "I love you Colleen. I am going to tell you that a million more times a day from now on" he says. "Snoopy I love you more" as I finally manage to turn myself."Thank you for coming with me baby" he says "it means the world to me" he adds. "I am glad I came, I love Erin too" I say. Just then JOsh picks me up and we makeout on the bed. I can tell he needed to feel us together. I don't think he will every get that feeling of almost loosing me 3 years ago out of his mind. Love him.
