Zelda was dozing fitfully, brow furrowed in her sleep and tears leaking out. She had not had such a vivid dream in a long time...and...she whimpered, frightened, and the baby was dying and there was nothing she could do and she killed him...

...ROBERT!

There's a flash of something that Chase catches as he wakes up-- a brief image-- but he loses it at the whimpering sound beside him. Snapping to within a moment, he reaches over, shaking Zelda gently as he sternly calls out to her.

"Honey. Zelda, wake up. Zelda, it's just a dream, wake up." His voice rises, the shaking growing more firm and panicked.

"He is dead, he is dead, no, he cannot, no, he...I have failed, and you cannot and do not take him! You cannot take him!"

Zelda shifted and sought out Chase, crying more openly in her sleep.

"Zelda," Chase practically yells, holding her against him. "Honey, it's me, it's Robert. I'm here, you're dreaming, Zelda, wake up, please wake up. No one's dead, no one's taking anyone."

Zelda's eyes fluttered open then, watching Chase. "Did something happen?"
