"Dean is going to be going though a flu trial Jayse." Hunter told her as she stepped into the lab. "You'll need to make sure he gets the repressor an hour before he gets the injection and then make sure he gets the medication on time for the next week."
"Alright. What are the side effects of this drug that they are worried about?" She asked leaning her hip on the desk she never used in the lab.
"The ones they really want us to be on the look out for are lethargy and fever or chills. They want to see how bad it really is. It made some of the rats they tested it on appear to be dead but once they stopped giving them the drug they were fine. They want to know if it's because they were so small or what. But there's a whole list of them here." Randy stated handing over a packet of papers and two vials, one of the virus and the other of the drug she was going to be administering to Dean.
"Ok I'll watch for those then." Jayse said heading toward the stairs to get Dean ready for the trial.
"Come on boys back to bed." She said stepping into the room and waiting by the door for the three men to get to their beds before hitting the button to restrain them, laughing when Seth whined at being pulled away from his puzzle. She had discovered he had a passion for them when she had brought one from her house and he had watched her intently while she put it together. She had taken it apart and handed the box over to him to see what he would do surprised when assembled the 250 piece puzzle in two hours. He was currently working on a 5000 piece one…face side down.
"You can go back to it in just a bit Seth don't worry." She said stopping at his bed and rubbing his knee before moving over to the bench drawing up a dose of the repressor, capping it and putting it into her coat pocket.
"Patients puppy. " She chuckled again and moved over to his bed, scratching him behind his ear, and running her fingers through his hair when he whined again, pressing his head into her hand. After the chocolate incident she had been more comfortable with touching him as long as he hadn't just woken up, and he seemed to revel in the contact. She wouldn't go in with him while he was loose but when he was restrained she would pet him at every chance she got because he liked it so much. He whimpered when she moved away from him but she squeezed his knee on her way past and over to Dean's bed.
"Hey Kit Kat, I need to get you ready for this." She sighed to him, rubbing his thigh before injecting him with the repressor. "I'm going to see how Sir Growlie Pants is while that takes effect, sit tight Kit Kat." She told Dean slipping a piece of his favorite candy between his lips, smiling when he purred happily.
"Hey Rome, I'm going to check on your chest." Jayse said sighing when he growled low at her as she approached him and lowered his head restraint. "I wish you would stop doing that to me." She told him lifting the tape on the gauze pad carefully, frowning at the offended look in his eyes before he growled at her again.
"Hmm. I need to cut those Rome." Jayse said looking at the stitches in his chest and seeing the edge of a scale barely poking out from the gash she had stitched in his skin two days ago pushing against them. She went back to the bench and got the pair of small surgical scissors and went back to Roman's side, leaning over him and carefully snipping the knot at the end of his stitches. She used the tip to carefully pull the thread through the holes, tracing her finger gently along the tip of the scale that was coming though, jerking back when Roman hissed in his breath, and then growled lowly at her again.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you." She told him patting his thigh, inhaling sharply at the bulge in his briefs, her eyes snapping up to his, biting her lip at the way he was looking at her.
"I'm sorry Rome." She whispered going back over to the bench and putting the scissors back, drawing up a dose of the virus for Dean.
"I'm sorry Kit Kat, I hate doing this but I'll be here for you through the whole thing." She told him, slipping the needle into his thigh and injecting him with the virus. She would wait about an hour until he started getting symptoms before giving him the drug they were testing. She opened another one of the mini kitkats and put it between his lips as she went over and hit the button to release them.
She laughed when Seth basically sprinted over to the larger table she had given that held his puzzle and started back into it. She watched Dean pick up the medical text book she had given him after she caught him staring at her reading it and started through it once again. She had no idea if he even knew how to read it but he was happy as a clam with it and she wasn't going to take it away from him.
The boys were highly intelligent but she wasn't sure if anyone other then she knew it yet. Jayse looked over at Roman, unsurprised to see his slited grey gaze locked on her yet again. His lip curled and he growled low at her again and she shook her head, averting her gaze from him. He was the only one of them that she hadn't really been able to connect with. He didn't like the puzzles, he hated the candy she had offered to all of them, and he didn't want a book. She had no idea what to try with him anymore, and quite frankly the fact that he was always staring at her was unnerving.
She shook her head and started making them dinner, having decided on a cheesy Italian breaded chicken. She breaded the chicken she had set out to thaw earlier and put them into a pan to fry and crossed her arms, trying to decide what else to feed the boys. They didn't like veggies very much but she wanted them to have some anyway. She decided to try giving them broccoli with a cheese sauce and got the stuff out to get it started when she noticed Dean raise his hand to his head and press against his sinuses like they were bothering him. She knew the virus was starting to take hold in his system and she would have to give him the antibiotic very soon. She stirred the cheese sauce and flipped the chicken and then went over to the button so she could give Dean the injection he needed.
"Come on guys back into bed for a minute." She told them waiting until they got into their beds and frowning when Seth didn't move.
"Come on puppy boy get into the bed, it will only be a few minutes." Jayse called out to him and sighed when he raised his sad brown eyes and whined at her.
"Seth get into bed and I'll rub you're belly." She called out jokingly and then bit her lip when he scrambled into his bed.
"Well he is part wolf." She mumbled under her breath, shaking her head as she went over to the bench and drew up a dose of the medicine she needed to give Dean. She went over to his bed and injected it into his arm, rubbing his forehead frowning at how warm he was already.
"I'm sorry Kit Kat; I'll take care of you." She whispered pressing her lips to his forehead, before getting a wash cloth from the cabinet beside his bed and wetting it down with cool water, setting it over his forehead. She when back over to the bench to dispose of the needle and laughed at the way Seth was watching her.
"You are such a puppy." She laughed going over to his bed and scratching behind his ear, smiling when he leaned into her hand. "Ok I need to finish dinner and let you out." She told him going to pull away. She yelped and stopped moving when his teeth bit into her wrist. He wasn't hurting her but it was scary none the less. His tongue traced a circle on the inside of her wrist and he whined at her before letting her go.
"Ok I get it." She whispered and ran her nails over his chest lightly a few times, biting her lip at the way his eyes closed and his body arched into her hands. "Alright puppy boy I need to go now." She laughed after rubbing her nails over his body for a minute and laughed again when he whined at her.
Jayse went over to the wall and hit the button before going back to the kitchen area and flipped the chicken again before coating the broccoli in the cheese sauce. She plated for the boys, cutting the chicken up into bite size pieces before carrying their plates to them and pushing them over their lines. She watched Dean slowly climb out of the bed and sit heavily on the floor by his plate, not even bothering to take it to his table and she frowned. She would have to check him once they finished, he wasn't looking good. Roman growling brought her gaze from Dean over to him and she was surprised to see him pushing his plate back toward her already, the broccoli and the cheese sauce were gone.
"Be still my heart did I find something you like Mr. Growlie Pants?" She said going over and picking his plate up laughing when he curled his lip at her and growled again, his chest puffing out. She put most of the rest of the veggie onto his place and pushed it back to him before going back to get her own.
Jayse settled on the counter and watched the boys, frowning when Dean pushed his plate over the line still half full and stumbled toward his bead. She set her plate down beside her and watched him, not liking how pale he was and how he was sweating, his body visibly trembling. She heard both Seth and Roman make a growling whining sound before Dean's legs gave out and he lowered to his knees beside his bed, holding onto the rails with trembling hands.
"Fuck Dean!" She screamed running to his side and wrapping her arms around his body. "Come on Kit Kat I need you to help me get you into the bed." She murmured to him, lifting as much as she could helping him climb slowly into the bed. She got the cloth and rewet it, running it over his face and neck, not liking how warm he was or how shallow his breathing had gotten. Jayse hit the button to lay his bed back and placed the cloth over his eyes, getting another one out of the cabinet and wetting it down, running it over his neck and chest.
"Hang on hon I'm going to get you a blanket and pillow. Just relax." She whispered to him, kissing his forehead before heading into the apartment and pulling a blanket out of the closet and taking one of the pillows off her bed. She hurried back into the boy's room and put the blanket over Dean's legs before putting the pillow under his head. She heard him inhale deeply and saw a slight smile touch his lips briefly as she wet the cloth again and ran it over his neck and chest once more.
"I wish I could give you something Kit Kat but I can't compromise the trial." Jayse sighed pulling the blanket higher on Dean's body as the lights dimmed.
"Just try to rest." She whispered going back to take the plates Seth and Roman had pushed out to her over to the dish washer before heading to the apartment. She stripped off her bra and jeans and laid in bed for a few minutes before falling asleep.
Jayse sat upright in the dark room, blinking a few times to clear her eyes. She saw the clock on the night stand read 2:30 am and she wondered why she had woken up when she heard Roman's snarling again. She climbed out of the bed and went to check on him, finding him standing as close to Dean's area as his chain would allow, not even looking in her direction when she called out to him.
"Roman?" She called frowning when he didn't even acknowledge her, and she moved into the room. She looked over to Dean's bed and found him shivering under the blanket and ran over to his side.
"Easy Kit Kat." She whispered, putting her hand to his chest, sucking in her breath at how cold his skin was. She pulled the cloth's off him and dropped them on the floor, putting her hand under his nose and sighing at how shallow his breathing was and how glazed looking his eyes were. She needed to get him warm, and fast. She sucked in her breath and climbed into the bed with him tucking the blanket securely around both of them and draped as much of her body over his as she could. He needed the warmth, and he wasn't moving much if at all right now so she would just lay with him for a little bit to warm him up.
