Mary smiled happily as she saw Louis hugging Elmer once more, the
baby cuddled in his arms as he did so. Perfect, everything was absolutely
perfect. They had fixed things and rescued the other children from the
fire, they had the second bell, Paul and Gottreich were gone and now it
looked like Elmer, his father, Lona and the baby were going to be able to
form a nice little happy family. Definitely perfect. She snuggled further
against her now semi-transparent bother, giggling slightly as she saw how
Dr. Hook and Dr. Chris keep stealing little glances at each other as they
tended to Lona. She had a feeling that they were going to be sneaking off
in a bit to engage in more naughty things in the elevator. Really, it
sometimes seemed that the only thing people in this hospital did were
naughty things.
Suddenly Mona tugged on her sleeve, pointing to Peter and his wife.
They were kissing and.... Mary started to giggle slightly once more.
Maybe she ought to tell them too about how nice the elevator was for naughty things too in case they wanted some privacy.
'I'm sure they'll figure it out eventually on their own,' Antubis said as he lifted his head for a moment to see what Mary was finding so funny. Honestly, he had no idea what people found some romantic about a hospital but from the number of couples he had spotted engaging in various naughty acts around the building, there had to be something. The anteater laid down next to Lona once more, snuggling against her. After a moment,
he looked up again. She definitely felt a bit warmer now and he could see that her color was starting to come back as well. He let out a soft sigh as he laid down next to her once more.
"Lona?" Elmer reached out, gently stroking her cheek. Was he imagining things or did it look like her color might be improving just a bit? He looked over at Hook and Chris hoping for some sort of reassurance.
Surely she was going to be okay. She had to be okay. If she came ought of this alright then he swore that he would never touch her again, would never do anything that might cause her to have to go through this again.
'Want to bet how long you'll be able to stick to that?' Antubis said with a chuckle as he looked over at Elmer. 'Might want to see about getting her into bed somewhere. The floor isn't the most comfortable place to sleep,'
"Bed's definitely a good idea." Hook said as he looked up from Lona, motioning for Chris to go and get one of the beds ready for her before turning to Elmer. "Don't worry, Elmer. She's going to be fine."
Elmer nodded, forcing his worry down. Hook said she was going to be okay and he had to know what he was talking about, right? And her color did look definitely better. Elmer started to gather her into his arms but a spasm of pain shot down his arm from his injured shoulder as a wave of dizziness washed over him.
"We'll handle her," Louis said gently as he slipped the baby back into Elmer's arms before joining Hook in lifting Lona between the two of them and carrying her to the waiting bed. "What happened to your neck?"
There were two scabbed over places on his neck but Louis wasn't sure that that could account for all of the blood on Elmer's shirt.
"Paul bit him." Mary said before Elmer could answer and downplay the injury. "But don't worry about it. He isn't really a vampire. He just has fangs for some reason." The little girl shook her head, puzzled.
Why in the world did Paul actually have fangs? She was sure that he wasn't born with them or if he was she felt very sorry for his mother.
Louis shook his head, not really sure what the little girl was saying exactly but the mention of a bite definitely concerning him. "Here,
let me look at that." He said as Elmer hurried across the room determined to stay at Lona's side. He carefully tilted Elmer's side to inspect the puncture marks, shaking his head. Okay, that little girl had said his son hadn't been bitten by a vampire but those marks looked suspiciously like what a vampire would leave behind on his victim to him. How did you treat vampire bites anyway? They definitely hadn't covered that one in medical school. Maybe garlic? They probably had some of that in the kitchen. He shook his head, not really believing the direction in which his thoughts were suddenly going. Vampires. He couldn't believe that he was now thinking of vampires as if they were real. When he looked at those two marks on his son's neck though.... Yes, he was definitely going to see about getting some garlic to put on that. And tetanus shot as well.
Elmer looked over at his father for a moment before turning his attention back to Lona once more. He definitely didn't like the way his father kept looking at those bite marks, like he was likely planning some sort of painful treatment for it. As he looked at Lona, he knew he couldn't waste time worrying about whatever his father had in mind for him,
not when Lona needed him. "Please wake up now, Lona," he whispered softly to her, adjusting the baby a bit in his arms so that the tiny little fingers could brush against her cheek. "There's someone here who really wants to meet its mother. Please wake up!"
Suddenly Mona tugged on her sleeve, pointing to Peter and his wife.
