Spencer sat up screaming, sweat glistening down her body, shaking violently. Her mouth opening to gain air, warm hands slid around her waist pulling her back down and into the heat of the covers, “Shhhh…I’ve got you,” Ashley soothed her mind, running her hand up and down Spencer’s back under the soaked night shirt.

“What’s going on?” Paula flew into the room, broom in hand ready to attack any living thing.

“She just had another bad dream;” Ashley assured trying not to laugh at the fighting stance Paula was still standing in, “What’s with the broom?”

Paula glanced at the broom than back at Ashley, “Sorry…I finally fell asleep and when I heard the yelling. Tired minds don’t think rationally,”

“Yeah,”

“She’s soaked,” Paula stated walking closer to the bed. Noticing the shirt plastered against her daughter’s skin.

“I wish there was some kind of medicine to take the night mares away, I had one earlier just before she woke me up to crawl into the bed with me.”

“Hold on a sec,” Paula walked out of the room than returned a second later, “Can you lift her with out waking her up?”

“Sure,” Ashley had learned to move around a room or to move Spencer off her since dating, at first the blond would always wake up but all most a year of dating and Ashley had it down. Sitting up she slowly lifted her girlfriend to a sitting position, the girl groggily snuggled closer causing both women to smile unconsciously. Paula bent down and removed the wet shirt than slipped on the new dry one. Carefully the two laid her back down.

“Yours too,” Ashley looked down and sure enough her shirt was a little damp.

“Must have been from holding her,” Paula left the room to return with yet another dry shirt, “Thanks.” Ashley waited for the older woman to turn around before changing her shirt.

“Your welcome.” Paula grabbed the shirt from Ashley, “You guys can sleep for another two hours.”

“That’s it?”

“Yep, don’t worry you guys can take a nap once school is out. I’ll probably be sleeping at work so…” With that she left the teens to try and sleep again.
