Cosmo lay balanced, barely hanging onto to his side of the bed as Bobby tossed about, taking up pretty much all of the space. He shot a glance over at 'Vannah on the other couch, wondering if she might be willing to swap with him. No way was he going to get any sleep like this.
"'Vannah...." he started to call quietly, not wanting to disturb Noah, when suddenly he heard the faint ringing of his cell phone.
He fumbled for it, his eyes closing for a minute as he finally found it. 'Please be Frank at the airport. Don't let it be....' He finally forced himself to speak. "Renfro."
"You need to get back over here," Sam said, his tone something that Cosmo had never heard before in all of the years that he had known Sam, a mix of despair and hopelessness.
"Sammy, what happened?" Cosmo said, sitting up and fumbling for his shoes as he talked motioning for the others to get up as well. He waved with one hand to keep 'Vannah from going into Noah's room. Best to let the kid sleep as long as they could.
"They don't know what's wrong," Sam said slowly, glancing back towards Catherine's room,where the doctors frantically worked, as he talked. He hadn't wanted to leave her side but at the same time he knew that she would want them there, Noah especially, if.... No, this couldn't be how things ended. Not after.... They were going to be together, be happy. This couldn't.... "Get down here now." The phone slipped from his fingers as he headed back towards Catherine's room. He was going to be there for her no matter what happened.
"Cosmo, what's going on?" 'Vannah asked quietly,sitting up in bed, her eyes wide at the sight of the horrified expression on Cosmo's face.
"Sam didn't say exactly, but Catherine's worse." Cosmo shook his head, a painful stinging in his eyes that he had to fight back. If anything happened to that lady.... His fault, all his fault.
"How bad is she?" A voice caused the marshals to turn and find Noah standing in the doorway, fully dressed, pale as a ghost, hazel eyes haunted, and looking as if he hadn't slept at all.
"Baby." 'Vannah whispered as she hurried over to him, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder. Noah glanced at her numbly, but otherwise showed no sign of acknowledging the contact.
"Kimble's going to be here soon, kid. It's going to be okay," Bobby said quietly as he moved over to Noah's other side. He didn't know if it would be okay, none of them did, but seeing Noah like that, in so much pain.... If they could somehow spare him for a few minutes, they would do anything. They had just got the boy back and to see him hurting so badly....
"Let's just get over there and see about her," Cosmo said quietly. Maybe, maybe that would make some sort of difference.
