This is the 4th time this month that Sasha had her nightmares each one, more worse than the others, Laura never lost sleep over it but it took a emotional and tiring toll on Sasha...she didn't sleep as often anymore and she never came out of the house unless she was out on patrol with Joel, Tommy, Ellie or Joshua, sometimes she would sit on the porch swing or tend to the flowers in their garden but it wasn't all the time. Joel was gone some days, sometimes as late as he did tonight but that's what Sasha hated the most...being without him. Of course she had Laura, but she would also want Joel

The only things going through her poor husbands mind was what was these nightmares about and how he could help her?

Joel looked at her for a few seconds after she said that and cupped her chin and gently lifted it up so her eyes met his, she can see hurt in them

"Please tell me...I want to help you Sasha...can't you let me do that...or at least try?" He asked and Sasha felt tears well up once again as she stared into his hazel eyes her hand touched his wrist gently and she lowered her hand down to the blanket, breathing in a soft breath

"Okay....I heard your voice...I saw you...were in it...and so was our baby girl..." she started as her voice trembled and her hands gripped the blanket tightly "I could hear your screams....and this person that was in my dream, was standing near someone and kept saying horrible things to all three of us and it wouldn't stop...then I heard beating sounds...blood was everywhere...and just when I looked around to see where the blood came from...I woke up...probably best you woke me when you did" she finished as she placed her hand on her forehead rubbing it slightly

"You think something's gonna happen, Sasha?" He asked and Sasha closed her eyes tightly

"I don't know, Joel...but I can say that all my nightmares have been more or less the same...the difference is, you woke me up differently at each part...and I don't want to sleep again to repeat and then see where that blood was coming from....I can't...I'm too frightened" she said and started to cry "it could've been from you, or Laura..., Joshua...or Ellie, Tommy"

Joel sighed softly and rubbed her shoulder in an effort to comfort her "I don't know what to do, Joel..." she whispered "I never heard you sound in so much severe pain..."

Joel looked at Laura's crib and at the window where the moons light shined in their dark room

"...I th-...Do you think it's...a message?" He asked, Sasha frowned her eyebrows, getting a thought, and she looked at him

"A message?"

"Or a warning? Like...what you keep seeing...are visions of some sort right? why else would your nightmares all be the same?"

Sasha nodded to him, she no longer felt shaky but more focused thanks to Joel's words she smiled at him

"That's funny, I don't recall ever having premonitions...but instead of just brushing it off as nothing, maybe it's crucial that I pay attention to it...just in case" she said as she raised her hand up to touch Joel's bangs that had begun to grow out, Joel closed his eyes when her fingers gently went through his hair and Sasha lowered her eyes in affection as she tilted her head to the side slightly it was rare he was this relaxed, it made her happy to see him like that

"How was the patrol with Tommy, by the way?" She asked as her fingers gently slid down from his forehead to his bearded cheek, Joel caught her hand and opened his eyes
