River had just woken up from a nightmare, screaming, memories of Miranda still hunt her after all these months, she pulls her legs to her chest, River then wraps her arms around her legs, as she buries her head between her knees.

A sharp pain starts going through her head, it is almost unbearable, she grabs the top of her head, and presses it hard against her knees. The pain is now unbearable, she starts to scream again.

A soft familiar hand is now rested on River's shoulder, some of the pain starts to disappear, River then starts to slowly take her hand off her head, she hears a voice, and in an instant the pain is completely gone River hears the voice again, River looks up, and there she is, the person who stopped her pain, the woman who is now trying to comfort her, Kaylee, the one that can take away all of Rivers fears and pains.

River blinked at Kaylee, Kaylee, just starred at River, her thin body curled up into a ball, and her long arms which where now to her side, and her face, which looks to be scared and confused, and a little rejoiced at the site of her beloved Kaylee.

Kaylee begins to open her mouth to speak again, another image went through River's head, of Miranda, she jumps into Kaylee's arms, and wraps her arms around Kaylee's body.

Kaylee wraps her arms around River. River rest her head onto Kaylee's chest, as a tear starts to roll down her cheek. Kaylee notices this and wipes it away. River's hug begins to tighten up, and her head starts to bury itself deeper in.

Kaylee begins to speak up "River, what's the mater honey, was it Miranda again?"

River tightened up again, she pulled her head away from Kaylee, She stared at Kaylee with glossy eyes and pleaded "Don't make me fall back to sleep, please, I, I cant, I'm--" River found her self without words or a will to speak, as Kaylee, captured River's lips, River began to close her eyes, her arms loosened and slid down to Kaylee's hips. Kaylee had placed one hand on to Rivers back and another on to River's head.

They finally pulled apart, Kaylee grabbed a lock of River's hair and place it behind her ear, Kaylee smiled at River. River smiled back.

River turned her eyes to her bed then back at Kaylee. Kaylee smiled, and understood what River was asking. They both laid down in River's bed. River had her arms tucked into her chest and snuggled up to Kaylee, Kaylee had her arms tight around River.

And in Kaylee's arms River can sleep, and in Kaylee's arms she can cry, and in Kaylee's arms is where she is safe, and in Kaylee's arm is the only place she needs to be.
