Rachel fought with her nightmares. She was being told that Ryan was gone and it was her fault but the dreams wouldn't stop with that. Then she was told Nick was dead and that was her fault as well. The Cohen's and the Carter's were both yelling at her telling her it was her fault and that she was supposed to be the one that was killed. She tried to move but nothing was working.
"No.....they aren't gone....it can't be!" She yelled at the figures in her dream. They kept yelling at her and then they disappeared and suddenly she was in a cemetery. She was in front of a tombstone. She gasped.
"Ryan Atwood - July 25 1987 - June 26 2004 - Beloved Son, Brother, and Friend" Rachel read out loud.
"Told you it was true!" Seth said appearing next to her. She looked at him to see his face was full of hate and anger. She backed up only to hit something. She looked down at it to see it was another tombstone.
"No..no...no." She kept repeating. "Nickolas Carter - January 28 1987 - June 26 2004 He will be missed."
"Look at what you have done! I took you in and now my boy is dead!" Rachel turned to see Jane also very angry.
"I didn't mean...." She started but then couldn't speak. She started to feel pain that she couldn't feel before.
-----
Jane was sitting in the chair next to Rachel's bed. It was close to 11pm and Nick had gone to the cafeteria to get some thing to eat. She was half reading a magazine when Rachel moaned. she looked up and she saw her face was contorted in fear and sadness. Jane stood up and looked at Rachel unsure of what was happening so she hit the call button for a nurse. with in a couple of minutes a nurse was in the room.
"I don't know what is going on. She just started to moan." Jane said to the nurse.
"She is beginning to regain consciousness." The nurse smiled. It was a good sign. She checked Rachel's vital signs. "She feels pain. I can't give her anything right now for it because we want her to wake up to tell us what hurts." The nurse explained to Jane. "Once she wakes up, we can take the tube out and see how well she can breathe on her own. Once we know that she can, then we can find out what hurts and go from there." She looked at Jane. "Talk to her. It will probably get her to wake up quicker." Jane nodded and looked back at Rachel who she saw was probably fighting a pretty bad dream.
"Rachel. Wake up honey. It is time to come back to us." Jane said and Rachel's eyes began to open.
-----
Rachel all of a sudden felt a pain in her chest. She was wondering what the hell was going on. She was scared. She heard a voice. It sounded like Jane but she wasn't angry anymore.
"Rachel. Wake up honey. It is time to come back to us." she said and Rachel realized her eyes were closed so she began to open them. The light hurt her eyes and so she only opened them a little bit. She realized there was something in her throat and panicked. She figured they were trying to get her back for Ryan and Nick.
"Calm down Rachel." Jane said trying to sooth her. "You have a tube to help you breathe" she tried to explain. Rachel was confused. She had no idea w hat was going on.
"I'm going to get the doctor to take that tube out for you. Just be calm ok?" Rachel looked over to see the nurse for the first time. The nurse smiled then left the room. Rachel then looked fearfully back at Jane.
"It's going to be ok honey." Jane said putting her hand on Rachel's head and soothing here hair back. Rachel flinched but either Jane didn't notice or ignored it. The doctor arrived with in moments.
"Ok Rachel we are going to take this out of you. I need you on the count of three to cough for me." He said and Rachel nodded. "One, two, three." And Rachel coughed and the tube slid out. Her throat hurt like hell though and she winced. The nurse gave her some ice to help with the pain and Rachel took it. She tried to talk.
"Nick." She said in a very low and raspy voice.
"What?" Jane asked.
"It is going to be hard for here to talk for a while. Rachel try and rest your throat." The doctor said but Rachel shook her head no.
"Nick....ok?" She asked a little bit louder ignoring the pain. Jane looked at her.
"He will be back any minute." She said.
"Not dead?" She asked trying to get her point accross with out talking to much.
"No sweetie. Nick is fine." That's when Jane realized why Rachel looked so scared. "In your dream did you dream that he w as dead?" She asked softly her hand still on Rachel's head. Rachel looked at her and nodded. "Oh honey, Nick is just fine. In fact here he comes now." She said and Nick walked into t he room with a hand full of food. He looked up and realized that Rachel was awake. His face lit up.
"Hey!" He said smiling. "You're back!" He said happily. Rachel smiled. "Boy am I glad you are awake. We have missed you."
"Her throat is a little sore so she may not be able to talk much." The doctor spoke up. Nick nodded and the doctor began to talk to Rachel. "Are you in pain?" He asked and Rachel nodded. "Where?" He asked.
"Chest." Rachel whispered.
"Ok. You will be sore there for a while. We will give you something now for it but we will start to give you less and less because we don't want to mask the injuries. We need to know what hurts and how bad. Now does anything else hurt besides your throat and chest?" He asked and Rachel shook her head no. "Ok that's good. I'll be back to check on you in a little bit." He said and left.
Rachel looked at Nick and a small smile formed. Then she remembered Ryan and she got scared again.
"What's the matter?" Nick asked worried.
"Ryan." She said. "Ok?" She asked and Nick looked at her.
"Ryan is home." He stated.
"He is good?" She asked again wanting to make sure.
"Yea. The doctors sent him home earlier today. He will be fine." Nick said and Rachel sighed with relief. It was all a bad dream.
"Did you dream that he was gone also?" Jane asked her and she nodded. "Oh you poor thing. No wonder you were so scared." Jane said.
"What?" Nick asked.
"Rachel woke up pretty scared. After the tube was taken out she asked if you were ok. She thought you were killed. She must have had some pretty bad nightmares if she thought both you and Ryan were gone." She explained. Nick looked at Rachel and she nodded
"Well we are fine and John is in jail." Nick said. "We are all ok. In fact I told Ryan I would call him as soon as you woke up" He said. "I'll be right back ok?" He said and she nodded.
"I think the medicine is kicking in because her eyes are closing." Jane said.
"Still Ryan needs to know that she will be ok." Nick said and Jane nodded. when they looked back at Rachel she was asleep again but t his time it was peaceful.
