Rachel POV
I grab my phone and call Josh. He is going to be upset and mad. His phone rings twice and then he answers. "Hey Josh" I say. "Hey Rachel, whats wrong?" he says. He knows something is wrong."You never call me unless something is up. Tell me Colleen is ok" he says. "Wish I could. We are at the hospital. She has an intestinal and stomach infection. They have put her on strong meds for her fever and infection" I say. There is complete silence. "Josh?" I say. "Rachel I feel like being sick. Why didn't I listen to my gut?" he says and starts to cry. "Should I fly out there?" he says. "Whatever makes you comfortable Josh. She is pretty sick" I say. "Okay where are you Arizona right?" he says. "Yes Phoenix" I reply. "OKay I will text you when I get on a flight" he says. "Ok bye Josh" I say.
I hang up and walk back to Colleen she is sleeping. I sit there and go on the internet and look up our schedule for the next few days. as I might need to cancel a show or two. We have the next two days off so will just have to keep an eye on her until then. I look over at her and she is white as a ghost. I feel so bad for her. I just let the nurse know I am going to grab something to eat and will be right back. She nods and I make my way down to the cafeteria. I grab a drink and a sandwich and come back up to sit with her and I can hear her a little upset. The nurse is trying to talk to her calmly. "Colleen whats wrong sis?" I say holding her hand. "I didn't know where anyone was" she says. "She is a little delirious because of the fever" the nurse says. "Okay" I say. "I just went to get some food" I say. "Rachel I feel terrible" she says and lays back and closes her eyes. "I know....just rest" I say. "Josh is coming" I say. "he is?" she says. "Yes he is on the first flight here. He just texted me and should be here within the next two hours" I say. She smiles and goes to sleep.
Josh POV
I step off the plane and jump in a taxi to get to the hospital asap. I walk in through the emergency and I explain I am looking for my wife. They tell me she is in room 271 down the hall to the right. I walk in and see Colleen hooked up to IV meds and see Rachel sitting beside her on her phone. "Hey" I say "how is she?" I ask Rachel. 'She is sleeping alot but her fever is through the roof. They are trying to get that lowered so it doesn't cause any damage to her organs" she says. Rachel looks exhausted. "Rachel go to the hotel and sleep. I slept on the plane" I say as I hug her. "Okay I will for a few hours and come back. You need anything?" she asks. "No I am good" I say.
I go and sit on her bed and hold her hand."Babe, Colleen" I say as I rub her cheek. She opens her eyes and tries to get me in focus. "Hi baby" she says slightly smiling. "You're here" she says. "I am " I say. "How are you feeling?" I ask. "You are so warm" I add as I touch her forehead. " I feel terrible" she says. "I know baby" I say. "Just keep sleeping" I say. She curls up and lays her hand in mine. I look at her hand with a needle in it and all the meds going into her. Just then the doctor walks in. "Hi " he says. "Hi I am Colleens husband" I say. " any info I should know?" I ask. "Just your wife is a really sick woman. We are going to keep her here overnight and see how she handles the meds. The fever is way too high" he says. I nod and look down at her. The doctor excuses himself and then I sit down never letting go of Colleens tiny hand.
