Lady Jaye was walking towards the armory to turn in the pistol she had been using for target practice. She was happy with how well she did. She saw Flint walking with Duke heading towards the gym that was behind her to her left. She smiled and waved. Flint smiled back and waved back at her and Duke nodded to her. She was about 15 feet from the armory when she suddenly felt dizzy.
Flint and Duke noticed her sudden change in facial expression. They looked at her in concern.
Jaye shook her head as if to clear it then suddenly passed out and crumpled to the ground.
ABOUT A HALF HOUR LATER
Lady Jaye woke up with the feeling of someone holding her hand and the sound of muffled voices. She raised her free hand to her forehead and moaned softly.
"Allie, honey…" Flint's concerned voice could be heard over the foggy haze that still held firm to Jaye's mind.
"She's waking up." She heard another disembodied voice say.
Jaye opened her eyes to see Doc checking her over. She turned her head slightly and looked at Flint. "Wh…what happened?"
"You passed out," Flint said as he used his free hand to caress her hair.
Jaye turned back to Doc. "Why?"
"Your Ketone levels in your kidneys are up," Doc said while he looked over the lab work.
"What's that mean?" Flint asked in concern over her and their unborn.
"It means that she needs to raise her caloric intake." Doc closed the file and looked at the two of them. "Lady Jaye you need to eat more. You are eating for you and your baby. What happened is your body telling you that it needs more food."
All Jaye could do was nod but she turned to look at Flint questioningly as he started to squeeze her hand.
"She will, Doc," Flint said with determination.
Doc nodded. "Alright she can leave after I finish with the paperwork and go straight to get something to eat." He walked towards the door then turned around. "You need a minimum of 300 extra calories a day." With that he left the two of them alone.
Jaye looked up at Flint. "You can stop squeezing my hand now. I'm fine."
"No you aren't." Flint said but he let go of her hand.
"Yes I am. You heard him I just need to eat more."
Flint walked over to the window and looked out it. "I think you should take a leave of absence."
"WHAT?"
He turned and looked at her. "I want you to take a leave until after the baby is born."
"I don't think so."
Flint glared at her. "Why are you so stubborn?"
Jaye crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Why are you so over protective?"
Flint growled then sighed. "I'm just trying to make sure you both are alright."
Jaye's face softened. "I know. Look I promise to eat more alright. Really I'll be fine. If not I will let you go to Hawk and have him put me on leave okay?"
Flint walked over and sat down on the bed next to her. "Promise?"
"Promise."
