"Hey," Cosmo paused for a moment as he approached the bed, not really sure of what to say, what might make up for the damage that he had done, but knowing that he had to do something. He slowly reached out, ruffling Catherine's hair just a bit. "You just rest and get better, okay? I'm going to get things fixed up with Noah so you won't have to worry about it when we get you home."
"And we're going to have a really big party as soon as you're feeling better," Bobby added, reaching out and gently touching her hand for a moment, feeling kind of awkward as well and not knowing what would be best to do.
"Don't worry," 'Vannah leaned down and whispered into Catherine's ear. "I'll keep an eye on those two and make sure they behave. We brought you some stuff from home. As soon as you feel better, I'll help you change, okay? And don't worry, I didn't let Cosmo pick out the clothes."
"Hey," Cosmo said with a highly offended look as he heard what 'Vannah was saying. "There's nothing wrong with the clothes that....."
"Cosmo, I'm surprised that people can find turkeys for Thanksgiving anymore with the number that died for your wardrobe." 'Vannah shook her head slightly, kind of glad to see Cosmo focused on defending his clothes instead of feeling guilty. She was annoyed with him for yelling at Noah, of course, but she also knew that the yelling came from the grief and pain they had all went through when they thought that boy had been lost forever.
"Kids," Sam looked over at them, a spark, a tiny spark of humor that comforted all of them in his eyes now. He turned once more to Catherine, leaning down and whispering to her as her eyes started to slip shut once more. "That's it, darlin'. You just get some rest right now. Everything's going to be fine, going to be just fine."
As she drifted off into a feverish sleep once more, her hand firmly held in his, Sam turned to 'Vannah. He paused for a moment before speaking. This was the last thing that he wanted to do but he knew it needed to be done. "Need you to call Catherine's family for me, let them know what happened," he told her, reluctance apparent in every word. He was going to make sure that they knw, it was the right thing to do, but they were not going to hurt Catherine again. He wouldn't let them.
