Kerry tossed and turned in a fitful slumber. She had fallen into another nightmare, this time one about her past.
"Stop," A younger Kerry moaned as she felt his cold hand whip across her face and smack her to the floor.
"You let it happen, how could you?" He asked crazily.
"It was a mistake," She moaned in pain, now bleeding from her impact with the floor.
"I'm leaving, this was a mistake." He said angrily and stomped away leaving her on the floor.
Just then there was a knock on the door. "Kerry, Kerry, wake up," She heard a voice. She tried to concentrate on the voice as she was slowly pulled from her dream.
"What, what is it?" She mumbled.
"You were having some sort of nightmare," John said and helped her to sit up.
Kerry slipping her workplace façade back on quickly wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and cheeks and sighed. She then had the urge to vomit.
"I need a bas-"she began to heave. Carter turned and grabbed a nearby emesis basin and got it to Kerry's mouth just in time. He slowly and gently rubbed her back trying to soothe her as she puked.
"Feeling a bit better?" he asked when she'd stopped; still rubbing her back.
"I'm fine John," She said breathlessly and ran her hand through her hair. She began to cough and again John patted her on the back and tried to reassure her.
"You're going to be ok Kerry," He said and took her shaking form into his arms and held her. He rocked her back and forth in his lap as she fell back asleep. "So warm," she mumbled before falling asleep in his arms.
John smiled to himself and while Kerry was asleep kissed her gently on her forehead. Her mouth formed a smile as she slept and John smiled at this gesture. He carefully put her onto the bed and covered her up. He silently slipped out of the room to empty the emesis basin and do some patient charts.
Kerry awoke about 2 hours later to find she was alone. A few minutes later, Carol entered the room and greeted the still groggy Kerry.
"Did you sleep well?" Carol asked warmly.
"Yes, um where is Dr. Carter?" Kerry asked worriedly.
"Well we're a little backed up," Carol said "So he decided to help out"
"Oh, do you need more help?" Kerry asked sleepily.
"No, you should rest now; Dr. Carter will be in later to check on you." She said and smiled.
"Ok, thanks Carol." Kerry said and weakly rolled back onto her side and went to sleep.
