Josh POV
They have moved her and she is pretty much in bed all the time. Rachel is sitting with her as I walk into the room. She has an oxygen mask on her face. She didn't have that when I left to go to the cafeteria 15 minutes ago. "Rachel what happened?" I ask grabbing her hand. Rachel looks at me crying. "Pneumonia" she whispers. I stand up and start to pace. I see Gwen and Tim walk in and they see Rachel and myself and run up to her bed. I see Gwen rubbing her belly and it kills me. I leave the room as I sob. I hear footsteps behind me. "Josh" I hear Rachel calling me, "Leave me Rachel" I say as I run down the stairs and out into the courtyard. I sit down on the ground and wrap my arms around my knees. I bury my head and just break. "Please baby. Get better" I whisper to myself. I rock slightly trying to compose myself. "Excuse me?" I hear above me. I look up and see a young girl. "She will be ok" she whispers. I try to look at her but the glare from the sun is blocking from seeing her. "Whats your name doll?" I ask wiping my face shocked. "You know my name" she says and walks away and completely disappears.
As time goes on over the next few days Colleen is getting better, shocking everyone. I think back to the day in the courtyard with the little girl but keep it to myself. "Josh, Colleen" the doctor says walking in. He puts his hand on her shoulder. "Feeling ok?" he asks her. She nods as I smile. "Time to go home Colleen. I want that baby out in a month" he says. She looks at me as I grab her hand. "The 17th is when I have set up for you to get induced. Your treatment will begin as soon as you have delivered" he says. I nod hugging her as she has tears of excitement and fear. The next step is so close.
I get her home the next day and bring her right to the couch. She wants to make popcorn and watch movies with me and me alone. I make a bowl and bring it the coffee table and set it down. I sit down on the couch and bring her to lay on me as I rub her back. Feel so good to have her in my arms again. Time to relax before the real work and hell begins.
