Morgan heard them talking and came to check. "Nick," she whispered. She could tell something was wrong with Greg and, not only could she not help him, but she couldn't get to him.
"I'll go." Nick told her, going in search of a doctor.

"He won't listen," Sara told her.

"Gregory Hojem Sanders," She watched him try to pick his head up. "Either you listen to the doctor or, quarantine or not, I'm coming in there." She knew as much as he wanted her in there, he didn't want her to get sick.

Greg looked at her through blurred vision. "Fine."

Morgan could only wait and hope he had meant he would comply with the doctor, not fine that she come in. Nick, however, was having his own problems. No one wanted to come with him. No one wanted to cross the original doctor who had said Greg was fine.

"Just look at him. I'll deal with the doctor tomorrow. Greg needs help now!"

They were still arguing. Again, no one wanted to get involved.
"If you don't, I'm going in there."
Finally, a nurse volunteered.
"Thank you."
Morgan was going crazy by the time Nick returned. "Really?" She whispered, looking at the nurse who looked younger than she did.
"No-one else would."
"Good. Killing someone will ease the tension." He gave her a look. "Hey. I am my father's daughter."
Nick grinned.
"I'm scared, Nicky." She looked up as if she realized what she'd called him. "Sorry. I just...I hear Greg and Sara so many times it must have slipped out."
"It's okay. I don't mind."
It was her turn to smile, but she still looked sad, scared.
"It'll be okay."
She nodded. "They both will."
She saw the nurse pressing the button for some help.
"What's going on?"
Morgan frowned. "Greg?" She took a step closer. "Greg!" He didn't look up at her either time.
"Move back please."
"Get him some help then!" She wanted to go yell at someone else, but couldn't leave Greg.
"Help is coming."
"Greg. Open your eyes. Look at me," Sara tried.
"Greg finally responded. He looked at Sara, but didn't move."
"Stay awake. Talk to me. About something. Anything. Vegas. Morgan. Hell, video games, just talk to me."
"Where's Morgan?"
"She's right at the barrier, Greg. She's scared. You've gotta stay awake for us, all right?"
"Tired."
"I know you are. But stay awake."
"For me. For Morgan. Please."
"I feel sick."
"I know."
"Did you feel this?"
"Still am. I need you to stay awake. Nicky's out there with Morgan. I don't want to go through this by myself."
"You won't."
"Stay awake for me. We were talking about what we're gonna do when we get out of here. Remember?"
"Grandma."
"What about her?"
"Miss her."
"You said you were going to go see her. Is anyone going with you?"
"Morgan."
Morgan smiled, silent tears falling. "Has she ever met her before?" Sara asked him.
"No."
"Wow. That's big. I remember the first time I met Nick's parents. We weren't even together then and I was scared."
"Grandma will love Morgan."
"Everyone loves Morgan."
"Yeah."
"Nick's been talking about kids. About having some or maybe foster parenting. Either way...we'll need you and Morgan to be the aunt and uncle, right?"
"Of course."
"So you've gotta stay awake. You've gotta keep talking to me."
"Want Morgan."
"She's at the barrier, Greg. But she can't come in. She'll get sick." Morgan knew Sara's words were true but would still do anything to go in and be with Greg.
"Love her. Morgan?"
"I know you love Morgan, Greg. That's why you've got to stay awake."
"I'm sorry Morgan."
Morgan waited until Nick went to get some more help to sneak past the opening of the safety zone.
"Morgan! No! I don't want you to get sick."
"I'm not going to get sick."
"You could."
"And I could get killed on the interstate going back to work tomorrow too. Doesn't mean it'll happen."
"It's too risky."
"Then wake up, damn it. Fight. Because if I'm going to lose you, I'm not going to spend any more time out there by myself."
Greg felt like crying. He tried to sit up and failed, feeling dizzy immediately.
"Don't sit up. Just talk to me. Talk to Sara. Let them help you when they come. Please."
"I will."
"Morgan!" Nick felt like he could have strangled her. He wanted to be with Sara too, but he knew that getting sick himself wouldn't help.

"Sorry doesn't cut it." He couldn't figure out what to do. If she came out and could be infected, she could get everyone else sick. If she stayed in there and wasn't sick, she would get sick. "That was..." He stopped himself, realizing what it was. Sara would have done the same thing for him.

"I can't leave him anymore. He's alone. Don't you want to hold Sara, tell her it will be okay?"

"Of course I do. But he's not alone. He has Sara in there. She'll take care of him, just like..." He almost said just like he would take care of Morgan, but he'd done a horrible job so far.

Nick shook his head. From where he stood, he knew he'd failed Morgan and felt like he'd failed Sara too. "I'm going to go find where that nurse went. You...do what you have to do." He turned his back, knowing he was allowing her to do what she'd been wanting since they heard.
