Raiders in the Dark(Chiffon&Caspian)

Jared dreamed of Caroline. They were still in the hospital room, the scent of disinfectant surrounded everything. The monitor beeped as Caroline lay in bed, looking comfortable. She looked like she was sleeping off something intense, there was a sheen of sweat on her forehead. Jared didn't know what was going on when the nurse walked in. "Caroline, wake up, it's meal time."

Caroline woke up and groaned "Already? Feeding time already? I haven't slept for more than 6 hours and all you can think of is food?"

Jared watched baffled as Caroline pulled up the bottom of her shirt to reveal her swollen breasts. Jared shook his head in amazement, when another nurse brought in the final piece of the puzzle. A fussy little bundle with a pink little toque on her head appeared on top of cradle on a cart and was handed over to Caroline. Caroline looked at Jared and winked. "Jealous?"

Jared awoke to the sound of a crying Helen and a concerned looking Rick.
 
Helen and Rick arrived at the hospital several hours later, both ragged and concerned. The night nurse showed them to their daughter’s room. Looking in through the door, they saw Jared, hand still entwined with Caroline’s asleep on the chair pulled up to her bed side, and their daughter on the hospital bed. Helen opened the door gently and walked in, tears running down her face she jumped when Jared awoke. She looked at him her eyes clouded.

“Jared, what on earth happened?” She asked needing answers from the young man. Even in her state she could see he was just as fragile as what they were, the two people who loved her more than anything. A slight thought tugged at the back of Helen’s mind as she waited for the explanation.
 
Jared jolted awake, blinking hard. He gently let go of Caroline's hand.

"I don't know. She just started having a hard time breathing and then she passed out. The doctor suspects Asthma, but he won't know until he can test her tomorrow. I ... I..." Jared stammered. Partly because he wanted to avoid the subject that he and Caroline had been having a naked tickle-fight after having vigorous sex in her dorm room. The other reason he stammered was because of his sense of responsibility for the situation. He didn't know that this would happen, but he felt guilt anyways.
 
Caroline shivered, suddenly cold. The heat that had been keeping her comfortable torn away. She slowly opened her eyes blinking into focus, Jared. He was speaking to someone. She slowly turned her head to see her mother and father hovering over her. She tried to speak but ended up coughing instead.

“Mom,Dad,” she croaked out before she was encased in her mother’s arms. Caroline thought she was going to suffocate until a nurse came in responding to the change in her vitals. Taking a large drink of water as offered, she looked at Jared and whispered.

“I had the strangest dream, of us, here but with a baby...” she trailed off as she turned to her folks who were engaged in a deep conversation with the nurse. “With a pink little hat, it felt so real...”
 
Jared blushed. He didn't know if Caroline's parents knew the extent of the relationship that he and Caroline had developed recently, but he certainly did not want them thinking about a baby between the two - especially if that baby was the same one that he had dreamed up just a few moments ago. Jared thought back to the few occasions where they had not taken any precautions. It just took once, Jared could hear his school sex-ed counselor lecturing him.

He chuckled outwardly and hoped that would be the end of that conversation until another time.
 
Caroline gently squeezed Jared’s hand revelling in the comfort such a simple touch. She turned to look at her folks who had just let the poor nurse go and were headed back to them.
“Sweetheart , are you feeling okay? Do you know what happened to you?” Her mother asked gently as her father stood behind her.

“I remember not being able to catch my breath and then starting to cough and coughing so much I threw up, then nothing.” She looked at her mom and then at Jared gently squeezing his hand. She didn’t want her folks to know they just had sex and were horsing around. That wouldn’t help the situation any. Her mother nodded at Jared.

“He called 911, and us, it’s a good thing he was there, you might have been in even more trouble.” Her father said a bit of gruffness to his voice. Caroline blushed. Trouble, yes this could be even more trouble, if her folks found out about them this way. She smiled timidly at her father.

“He’s a good friend Daddy,” before closing her eyes. The nurse came back and ushered everyone out.
“She needs her rest, the doctor will be in at 9am to see her , so please go home. Get some rest yourselves.”
 
Jared gave Caroline a kiss on the cheek and went out to the lobby. He got on a bus and headed back to the dorms. He knew that tomorrow he would need to work a shift on patrol. He only had one class that day, so he'd have time between Econ 301 and his shift to go see Caroline at the hospital. He was happy he left her cell with her. He sent of a quick text:


"Headed ur way in the AM, Don't reply until U no, but will U need anything if U have to stay l8r?"

He hit send and was about to close his phone. He decided to send one more for fun.

"I dreamt about a baby 2. Was I in ur dream? In mine I saw u breastfeed. then I talked to ur mom. Awkward."

He hit "send" again and put the phone on his nightstand. He thought he would be too worried to sleep, but 90 seconds after putting down his phone he was out and didn't move until 7:00am - which was 2 hours before he had to be up.
 
Caroline saw her phone buzz but waited to answer it until her folks had left. She was glad they were here, but couldn’t help but feel things were being blown out of proportion. She reached for her phone and read the texts sent by Jared.
She replied back to the second one.

“Of course, you were there. You’ve been in my dreams a lot Jared.” She closed the phone and nestled it in to her chest as she curled up to sleep.

Caroline slept through until the doctor came bustling in to see her at 9. She had a bunch of tests run and was in her room waiting for him to come back when her parents arrived. A moment later so did the doctor holding a file with a look of concern on his face.
 
Jared cleaned his dorm room and fired up his laptop. He emailed his parents to say hello and he sent a get-well e-card to Caroline, hoping that she would get her email at some point - perhaps on her phone. He sauntered off to his Econ course and managed to get through the course with some good notes and some knowledge. He went over to the convenience store and picked up a few roses, just for the sake of being nice and caught the bus to the hospital.
 
Caroline listened to the doctor as he spoke. Nodding carefully in the right spots. Her folks were still worried, but it didn’t seem like that big of a deal. She had asthma brought on by something, and the tickling/laughing had just aggravated it. She’d have to be careful to avoid situations where she was put in a position like that, and the doctor prescribed her an inhaler, and told them she’d be released tomorrow from hospital, just as a precaution.

Caroline was antsy she really wanted to get home, and back to her life. Her parents left and she checked her phone. The email icon was up indicating she’d gotten an email. Opening it from her phone she smiled as she read Jared’s e-card.

She texted him a short message.

“Released tomorrow, just need to be careful for a bit <3”

Closing her phone, Caroline lay back in bed and as she got warm in the blankets fell asleep again.
 
Jared walked into the room and saw Caroline all cuddled up into the blankets. She looked sweet, innocently sleeping away the afternoon. He snapped a picture with his phone and put the phone into his pocket. He laid the roses down on the night table beside her bed and stroked her arm. She wore a slight smile in her sleep, making him wear a smile of his own. He did not want to wake her, but he had to be back in the dorms in 3 hours for his shift. Instead of waking her, however, he just sat in the chair and watched her sleep for a bit.
 
Caroline woke, something had changed in her room, and she saw Jared sitting watching her a smile on his face.

“Hello handsome,” she said softly as she slowly moved to sit up. “How are you holding up?” She ran a hand through her hair trying to straighten it.

“The Doctor says I need to be careful, and avoid situations where I laugh too hard, so no tickling,” she said teasingly. “but he gave me an inhaler in case things get bad again, and I might have a hard time with the cold weather.” Caroline smiled at Jared softly.

“Thank you for being here with me, and calling my folks.” Her words were soft as she looked into his eyes.
 
Jared smiled. "I am just happy you are alright. It's been difficult to see you in such discomfort and I was worried about you. I am glad you are alright. I am sorry this is how we had to discover your asthma."

Jared looked around the room and patted Caroline's hand. "I am just glad that I don't have to face your parents right now. Honestly, I was afraid the doctor would tell them we were..." Jared looked over his shoulder to make sure that Rick and Helen weren't within earshot, "You know... having sex." Jared chuckled a little.

Jared knew that Caroline's father was not prone to violence, but sex and daughters were never a good topic to discuss with fathers.
 
Caroline blushed at Jared’s words. She’d been thinking something far worse. Given the dream she’d had she honestly had been sleepless thinking the doctor was going to come back and tell her she was pregnant. Wouldn’t that have been a fine “howdy do” for her folks? She smiled at Jared.

“That’s the nice thing about being legal, they really can’t say, it’s my information not my parents, but I did have a moment, given the dream I had, that I was going to be told different news.”

“ I should be ready to go back tomorrow morning. And first thing I want is a coffee, the tea here has been gross, and I can’t wait for my own bed. The thing is they won’t let me go on my own, and my folks left to head back after they knew I was out of the woods.” She raised her green eyes to his biting at the corner of her lip. She hoped he’d come to get her and go home with her. She couldn’t think of a better way to spend the day
 
Jared could feel a change in his blood pressure when she mentioned the dream about the baby. He wouldn't have been able to deny that part of him had wondered if they would be given some news that no-one was looking for.

Jared smiled, "would madam be of the inclination to allow me to accompany her on her chariot provided by public transportation to our dormitory? From there I would gladly buy you the best that the barrista has to offer." Jared winked. "Personally, I would be flattered if I were your first date after the hospital."
 
Caroline laughed at Jared’s silliness a cough interrupting her half way through.

“I would be honoured if you would be mine.” She said smiling up at him. She motioned for him to sit on the bed beside her. She threw her arms about his neck and hugged him close.

“I would be more than honoured if you would take me home.” She whispered softly into his neck, her warm breath brushing against his skin. She pulled back and lightly touched her nose to his causing a shock to jump across them causing Caroline to sneeze. She shook her head the tip of her nose still tingling.

“I’m sorry!!! It’s so dry in here!”
 
Jared felt the warmth of her hug and smiled. When she shocked him he pantomimed a shocked expression on his face with a face gasp. "You're an electric eel! Aieee!" He chuckled and winked.

"I would be more than glad to take you home. Perhaps I should get one of those little portable humidifiers while I am at it." Jared chuckled. The cool fall air always caused shocks to pass through Jared's body. For some reason he fell victim to static electricity at this time of year. Worst of all, he could never do it to other people. Current only traveled one way for Jared.

"Perhaps we can finish Sherlock Holmes when we get back." Jared winked. They had only managed one episode and there were two more to go.
 
Caroline smiled at him.

“Sure, that sounds amazing. I just can’t wait to be in my own bed. “ She gently patted his hand. The hospital would run some tests on her today but then she would have her freedom.

“This afternoon it looks as though they are going to run some allergy tests on me to see if something as a trigger for the asthma aside from laughing to hard, they sort of said that it might have been a combination of things. But I will be dressed and waiting for 10 am tomorrow morning to go home with you. I’m so glad this week was a light week in all my classes.”

Caroline looked at Jared and felt her heart constrict a bit. He was fast becoming her world. Something that was not unwelcome, but it was surprising to her how comfortable she had become and reliant on his company.

She was falling in love with him.
 
Jared smiled warmly, happy to know that she would be back tomorrow.

"I can't want to be in your bed too." Jared said with a wink. "Mine is cold and not as nice as yours. Perhaps it's just because you're not in it. We might have to experiment."

Jared was happy to know that Caroline would be alright and would be coming home to him. He had always really liked her, but now there was something else there. A warmth and a familiarity that went far beyond desire, it was something down deep.

"I should get back to the dorm soon, patrol starts in an hour." Jared smiled. "But I will be back to make sure to escort you back to our dorm when you're released in the morning." He kissed her forehead and on the lips.
 
Caroline relished in his kiss. She smiled as they broke apart and she watched him leave.

An hour later the nurse came with a barrage of tests. Caroline was pricked poked and stabbed in more places than she cared to count, and as the “test areas” began to swell and itch, in the most unimaginable torture she’d ever experienced. She’d never experienced allergy testing before, and after this never ever would she want to again. Caroline was nearly in tears from the pain of the swellings on her arm when the Doctor came in. He looked at his charts, then at her mottled skin covered in bumps of varying severity and size.

“It looks as though you do have some severe environmental allergies, and if you were exposed to more than one of them at the same time that might have induced the asthma. The thing is, asthma is indicative of an anaphylactic reaction. Those don’t get better, only worse. You are really going to have to watch yourself. We’ll give you some medication and an epi-pen, but from there I would suggest shots to strengthen your system against the attack of these triggers.”

Caroline listened to the Doctor and nodded. This was just going to complicate things all the way around. She sighed as he gave her an anti histamine which finally began calming the needles in her skin. She looked at the clock. Soon she’d be free. Jared would be back in the morning and then they could go home, and she might actually convince him they needed to nap together once they did.
 
Jared went on shift as soon as he arrived back at campus. He went to the patrol office and gathered up his gear. Luckily it was early in the week. He patrolled the halls for a bit, wandering up and down the halls and chatting with passersby. The night was free of fire, pestilence and plague - so the fourth seal of the dormitory apocalypse hadn't swung open yet. He chided himself for making such a macabre reference in light of the fact the girl he was falling in love with was in the hospital. He thought of Caroline and felt the urge to do something naughty. One good turn deserved another. His phone didn't have the capability to send a picture, but his laptop did. He knew a trick or two.

He returned to his dorm room, even though he was on-shift, and began stroking himself to make himself as hard as possible. He then stepped in front of his laptop in his uniform with his erect cock standing out from the unbuttoned opening of his uniform. He snapped three good pictures and sent them via email-to-mms to Caroline's cellphone. At least that should get her attention while he was on duty for the rest of the night.
 
Caroline’s phone buzzed as she was in the bathroom. She rushed out to grab it, seeing the messages from Jared. She smiled as she slid it open a flush creeping into her cheeks. OMG, he was beautiful. The three photos she received in quick succession succeeding in taking her breath away. She flipped back and forth between them, feeling the ache in her core.

“Trouble” she replied back. She sat up in her bed. Tonight was going to be a long night. She missed being near Jared, missed his laugh, the masculine scent of his skin. Especially after they had made love. Caroline sighed. She was kidding herself. She wasn’t falling in love with him. She was in love with him.
 
Jared got back to his room at quarter after 11:00. He was tired and wanted to see Caroline. He looked at the clock, wondering what time he should be at the hospital. He pondered texting her, to see if there was a good time. He noticed the response on his cel and grinned. He opened up his phone: "U started it. U R Trouble."

He hit send, then immediately went to compose a second SMS. "So what time is a good time 2 cum & get U? U want Coffee?"
 
Caroline was giddy, and couldn’t sleep. When her phone went off after 11pm she jumped nearly out of her skin. She slid it open to find a message from Jared, and as she was laughing at it her phone buzzed indicating another incoming. Caroline blushed.

“I’d rather you cum at home, but if you wanna fetch me, 9am sounds good.”

She sent, then chewing her lip she composed another message.

“I miss sleeping with you.”
 
Jared smiled as his cell received the text. He decided he was going to call her, but first thing was first. A shower. He smelled like he had been walking up and down stairs all night, which was exactly what he had been doing. He allowed himself to calm down and crawled out of his clothes and wrapped a towel around his waist and slipped into his flip-flops for the shower. He meandered down the hall, all was silent. He crept into the shower, with no socks on the door and no noise coming from within he assumed there were no outward signs of something forbidden going on in the shower room.

He washed himself, shaved, brushed his teeth and made his way back to his room. He flipped open his cel and sent a message:

"Are you up for a phonecall?"
