(Hey guys. So I am kinda an emotional mess at the time of typing this and I thought "HMM, WHAT BETTER WAY TO VENT EMOTIONAL AGONY OTHER THAN FORMING IT INTO FANFICTION?" If I suffer, my OC suffers. Prepare yourselves. God I am such a terrible OC mother. forgive me my child )

It was late in the middle of the night. Peabody and Marina were wrapped snuggly under the covers. Everything seemed to be good with the world. However that didn't last very long. Marina softly whimpered in her sleep, her body twisted in the sheets, as she quietly began to weep. Her weeping quickly turned into sobbing, and sobbing into screams.

Peabody was jolted awake by her screams, he frantically looked over to see Marina sobbing in her sleep. Her whole body shook with heaves for breath and her cries sounded raspy from screaming. He didn't hesitate to shake her out of her sleep.

"Marina! Marina, wake up! It's ok, it's just a dream. I am here, it's ok don't worry." He called desperately as he shook her shoulders. Marina's eyes snapped open and she gasped out a sob. She shot up and looked up at Peabody like he was a ghost. Her eyes welled up in more tears as she threw herself at him and wept into his chest.

"I wa- You were-" She broke out into another crying fit before she could even form a sentence.

Peabody stroked her hair and rubbed her back. "It's ok, I am right here. Everything is ok. Why don't you tell me what happened."

Marina took a deep breath in attempt to calm her crying. She slightly nodded before retelling her nightmare. "I was running. I don't know why, I just felt like my life depended on running, or I did something very wrong. You were running after me, asking me to stop so you could help me. But I didn't stop, I just kept running, and I ran into a road. I was gonna-" She choked back another fit of tears. "I was gonna try to kill myself. That didn't happen though, you shoved me out of the way. You got hit, I saw you, you were bloody and hurt and it was all my fault. People got out of their cars and were yelling at me, telling me it was all my fault. You were dead because of me. It was all my fault." Marina squeaked out, before her body began to shake as she began to weep again.

Peabody shook his head at the sight of his love. Seeing her in such a state broke his heart into two. He grabbed her face with both of his hands and made her head tilt up to his. "Marina, Mari. Look at me. Look at me in the eyes" He said commanded gently.

Marina opened her teary grey eyes and blinked away the tears to look at Peabody's brilliant emerald green eyes.

"See, I am alright. I am right here, and so are you." He said with a soothing tone as he lightly stroked her cheek with his thumb. His mouth formed a small smile. "It's going to be ok, Mari."

Marina gave a ghost of a smile and nodded. Peabody kissed her forehead and lightly pulled her down to lay on his chest. Marina took deep shaky breaths, but managed to feel calm. With him she always felt calm. Peabody kept his eyes closed as he ran his fingers through Marina's hair. His hand eventually drifted lower onto Marina's back and lightly began to rub her back. Marina sighed contently at the contact and nuzzled into Peabody's chest, beginning to drift into a sweet, peaceful sleep.
