James watched as his father reached out his arms to pull in his baby sister, who had just taken her first steps. James smiled. After a couple months, his heart finally opened up to Charlotte, and now, a year later, Charlotte was beginning to walk.

Harvey embraced Charlotte warmly. "Good job, baby girl!" He said happily.

"Papa!" Charlotte squealed.

"Papa's very proud of you." Harvey spun her around, making airplane noises, like he'd do to James and Lilith.

Charlotte squealed happily.

James giggled, and saw his mother standing some ways away, her eyes wild and she was shaking.

"Mummy?" James asked. "You alright?"

Harvey looked over to see his wife, and his eyes widened when he realized what was happening. "Kids, go to your room, now."

He handed Lilith her baby sister as she came to his side. "What's wrong?"

"Just go to your room." Harvey said.

James raced into his room, Lilith slowly following because her baby sister was getting heavier to carry.

When he was sure his parents weren't looking, James peeked out of his room, eyes widening when he saw his mother on the floor shaking, crying, and one hand gripping Harvey's shoulder.

James immediately tore out of the room, coming to his mother's side.

Harvey looked worried. "I told you to go to your room."

"I looked back and saw Mummy like this!" James whimpered. "What's going on, Daddy?"

"Your mother's having a panic attack." Harvey said, watching as his wife began to stop shaking and her crying ceased.

"What's a panic attack?" James asked.

"It's hard to explain to you right now, you're probably not going to understand." Katie breathed, gripping Harvey's shoulder tighter. Harvey realized his wife was scared still.

James took her hand. "But I can try to understand, so I can help you."

Katie smiled with tears in her eyes. "Harvey, why don't you explain it? Since you're a doctor, you've learned more."

James looked at his father expectantly.

Harvey smiled. "A panic attack is when you have a sudden feeling of fear or anxiety and it begins to escalate to a point it can't anymore. Symptoms can be trembling or shaking, as you saw which I'm glad you spotted so your sisters didn't have to see a panic attack, and fear of going crazy or dying, feeling dizzy, and shortness of breath."

James looked at his mother. "Did you feel like that?"

Katie nodded.

"Why did you have a panic attack?"

"I was scared Charlotte may fall and hurt herself." Katie sighed. "I tend to worry about my kids a lot."

James giggled. "I'm glad you do, Mummy."

Katie smiled and hugged him. "I glad to have someone who understands."

"Hey!" Harvey pouted.

"Of course I didn't leave you out, my love." Katie gave him a peck on the cheek.

Harvey smiled. "I know, I was just picking."

Katie giggled.

Lilith poked her head out of the nursery. "Can we come out?"

Katie nodded, beginning to stand up. "Sorry about that…Mummy had a bit of a fright and didn't need you to see it."

Lilith came out, holding Charlotte, who was smiling.

Katie took her baby from her eldest daughter. She cradled Charlotte carefully, but tightly.

James smiled, looking at his father. "Daddy?"

Harvey looked at his son. "Yes?"

"Can I talk to you alone?" He asked.

"Sure, James." Harvey followed his son into the nursery, James shutting the door.

"Now, what'd you want to talk to me about?" Harvey asked

"Dad, I think I'm getting sick or something." James said softly.

Harvey looked puzzled. "You seem just fine."

"But I think I'm sick." James said. "I feel so tired all the time, and I feel nauseous a lot."

"Sounds like you aren't getting the sleep you need." Harvey said.

"I haven't been sleeping lately." James sighed. "I keep having bad dreams…."

"Do you want to talk about them?" Harvey asked.

"Yes. It's always the same dream." James sat down on the bed, Harvey joining him.

"Go on." Harvey said.

"And, it's always, you and Charlotte." James said. "Driving home from somewhere in the mayor's truck, and a tree falls and crushes you two and the truck, and all I hear is your screams….." James whimpered.

Harvey's eyes darkened. "You were reimagining that one night I told you about, when I was bringing Charlotte home from the hospital after she recovered from pneumonia, and the tree nearly fell onto the truck."

James whimpered. "You were way too lucky that night."

Harvey pulled his son closer. "It's only your imagination, James. You have the power to change your dreams if you're aware enough."

James snuggled closer to his father. "Can you sleep in here with me tonight? Just to help a bit?"

Harvey smiled. "Of course, little one."

"Thank you, Daddy."

"Anything for you, my little James." Harvey smiled.

That night, after the kids went to sleep, Harvey got up from his spot on James' bed, sitting next to his son's body, watching him sleep.

Soon, James began to fidget, whimpering. Harvey felt bad, knowing that James was probably having a bad dream again.

Harvey murmured into James' ear, hoping he could hear even in sleep. "Remember, James, it's not real, and you have the power to change it."

James's whimpers and fidgeting began to cease. Harvey sighed relief, but then James screamed and shot up in the bed, crying.

Harvey immediately wrapped his crying son in a hug, and Lilith rushed over.

"James, did you have another nightmare?" She asked.

James couldn't stop crying to say, but he nodded.

Lilith hugged her brother. "It's not real, James."

James kept crying. "But it felt so real!"

Katie came in. "Everything okay?"

"James had another bad dream." Harvey sighed.

Katie scooped her son up. "Would it help if everyone slept in here with you?"

James whimpered. "I don't know anymore."

Katie kissed his forehead. "Well, how about if Sidekick sleeps in here too?"

She whistled, and soon, Sidekick came bounding in.

James snuggled up against his dog friend as he laid down on the bed.

Soon, James fell asleep.

Lilith went back to bed, and Harvey and Katie watched their son sleep, and were relived as he managed to get through the rest of the night without another nightmare.

"Looks like Sidekick did the trick." Harvey yawned at breakfast.

Lilith smiled. "Should I go wake James up?"

Katie shook her head. "Let him sleep. He did have a bit of a rough night, after all."

Harvey smiled. My family is perfect. What could possibly go wrong?
