Nathan was fully awake. He’d gone from fast asleep to startlingly awake in a moment. He held himself still. Something was different. He didn’t feel in danger. He knew Kian was no longer in his arms. He knew there were others in the room. He catalogued their heartbeats, scents, and even movements. They were all familiar to him. He heard faint beeps from above his head, too. It felt like his bed and room, just crowded with way too many bodies.

“You can open your eyes, Watchman. I can tell you are awake.”

That was the doctor’s voice. Nathan blinked his eyes open. Dr. Chloe Scott sat on a chair beside his bed. “Doc, does your husband know you’re in my room?” he asked her cockily.

“She wouldn’t be here if he wasn’t,” her husband responded from the foot of the bed.

“Any particular reason I have such great looking company? Last I heard I’m pretty sure you two didn’t believe in sharing. Always thought that was a bit stingy really,” Nathan said as he sat himself up in bed.

Dr. Chloe chuckled and leaned over to remove some sticky pads and cable monitors from his head. She left his fingers in their monitor clips, however.

Her husband huffed from where he stood. “I was quite happy to be shared. It’s Chloe who’s stingy. As a professional geek, I learned early on that you never refuse sex from someone as pretty as you. But my wife and Balance was always beautiful and never learned that lesson or how to share either. I only got pretty after she got her hands on me.”

“And gave you some style, darling. Now stop taunting the pretty Watchman and tell him what’s going on,” she snarked at her husband.

“Yes, dear,” he finished then sat down on the bed and pulled up his tablet and started to scroll through it. “Dear, can you remove the remaining sensors from Nathan? We’ve taken all the readings we need for now.”

His wife got up smoothly, and Nathan felt her hands move over him. Data patches were efficiently unstuck from his chest and clips from his fingers, and then the quietly beeping machine behind him was switched off, too. Nathan kept his attention on the doctor sitting at the foot of his bed. He finally heard Dr. Noah sigh, and then he began.

“Okay, so, after you left the commissary last night, I got to thinking. I came to see you about an hour later and knocked, but you didn’t answer. So I knocked some more, and when you still didn’t answer, I got worried and used my medical override to let myself in. You were sound asleep and obviously dreaming deeply. I tried to shake you awake, but you didn’t respond. That’s when I got seriously worried, got my Balance here, and brought the equipment to see what was going on. When we got you hooked up and got some readings, we were basically amazed. Initially I thought you were only dreaming, but the data readings we got from the brain patches indicate that you weren’t dreaming.
