Cosima opens her eyes slowly, still drowsy from a rocky night of sleep. Her coughing had kept her up most of the night, but she was trying to stay quiet for her sisters. They were all still sleeping in Felix's apartment. Sleepovers with her sisters felt oddly nostalgic, as though they had done this all their lives. Although Cosima was on the verge of death, she never felt safer.
She sat up weakly and let out a sigh. She had another Delphine dream. This was the second night in a row. She was grateful that Delphine had helped her save Sarah, but she still gave no information about where she was. Her dreams were oddly comforting, but she was still worried about Delphine's safety. Considering Rachel's evil plans for Sarah, Cosima wouldn't be surprised if she had set up an evil plan for Delphine as well. However, there was a part of her that was still afraid of denial. Maybe all the drama had gotten to Delphine and she fled…
Cosima closed her eyes and tried to push the negative thoughts out of her mind. In her head, she replayed the moment when Delphine told her that she loved her for the first time. In that moment, everything seemed to make perfect sense… Why Delphine had given her blood samples and why she used Kira's stem cells… She was driven by love. But what if she was driven away by love, too?
The door to the apartment suddenly opened. "Ay get up, sis," Sarah said with her thick British accent. "I got us some coffee."
Cosima sat up and looked around. She hadn't noticed that she was alone in the apartment. "Where is everyone else?"
"Well, Helena is still gone off somewhere. I'm sure she will turn up again eventually. And then Alison and Felix went grocery shopping…" she said, widening her eyes.
Cosima giggled. "Alison and Felix…. Grocery shopping?" she asked, skeptically.
"Yeah, I don't know how she got Felix to agree to go. I think Felix can sense that she is nervous going out alone and decided to help out. Plus, they brought Kira as a buffer."
"Aha," Cosima nodded as she started to get out of bed.
"No, no, stay there!" Sarah said, quickly moving across the apartment. "I'll bring the coffee to you."
Cosima rolled her eyes but sat back against her pillow. "I'm still alive, you know. Are you going to spoil me from now on?"
"No," Sarah said toughly. "I'm just trying to take care of you. It's what sisters do, right?"
Cosima smirked and nodded. "Thank you," she said quietly.
"Ah, don't thank me yet…" Sarah said, trailing off.
"Oh no. What happened…?"
"I kind of overheard you talking in your sleep last night… about Delphine. You're worried about her, yeah?"
Cosima took a deep breath. "Yeah. It's fine if she left or whatever. I just wish I knew where she was, you know?"
"Hey," Sarah said, softly putting her hand on Cosima's arm. "She didn't leave you. Rachel forced her to go. You know that."
Cosima nodded and took a sip of her coffee. She wondered how many more times she would have to tell herself that until she truly believed it.
