All Telulu could hear was the same beeping noise. Her head hurt like hell and everything smelled like it was abnormally clean, like almost nothing was there. Where am I? She thought to herself. She couldn't remember anything after going to get her purse. Her eyes fluttered open to bright white and had to squint.
Telulu let out a groan and began to lift her arm to cover her eyes only to discover it was attached to something that tugged against her movement. Turning to her side she discovered that there was an IV in her arm.
"Who put me in a hospital?" She muttered. She went to pull the stupid IV out of her arm but was stopped by a hand much larger than her own. She looked up to see Sesshoumaru sitting next to her.
"I did." He said flatly.
"You didn't need to. It happens all the time." Telulu snapped. "Where are Charlotte and Cali?"
"They're with Kagome, back at the house." Sesshoumaru explained. All the time? What does she mean by that? "I'm going to get Mina. Don't touch anything."
Telulu rolled her eyes irritated by the whole situation. "I'm not 5, I can handle being in a hospital. I don't need the IV either."
Once again she went to pull the IV out and he stopped her. "No." He all but growled. "Wait until I get her."
Telulu huffed and crossed her arms as best she could. Shaking his head at how ridiculous she was being Sesshoumaru left the room to get Mina. He went to the nearest nurse and asked her to page mina who was there not much more than a minute later.
"Is she awake?" Mina asked when she came up to him.
"Yes. She want to take the IV out. She claims she's fine." He explained.
"Anything else?" Mina asked.
"She did say that it happens all the time. She didn't elaborate though."
Mina frowned and began to nibble on the pen she had been holding. "Let's go in."
Sesshoumaru opened the door and froze. Telulu was sitting in one of the two chairs in the room flipping through a magazine. She looked up and glared at him.
"What are you doing out of bed?!" Mina hissed. "We're not even sure what's wrong with you yet."
"Well good luck with that. Not even the best doctor in New York could figure it out." Telulu scoffed, continuing to flip through her magazine.
"What are you talking about!?" Sesshoumaru growled.
"I've been sick for a year now Sesshoumaru, and I've been tested and or treated for everything from depression to anthrax. The doctors all think I'm going to die." She deadpanned not seeming even take her on story seriously.
"What are your symptoms?" Mina asked, pulling out a pad of paper from her pocket.
"Nausea, chest pains, fatigue, head aches, blurriness of vision, cough, fainting spells, mood swings, aches and pains." Telulu listed.
"I'll be right back." Mina said, disappearing a moment later.
"Is that the reason why you came back?" Sesshoumaru asked.
Telulu nodded. "I got scared. I was worried about what would happen to the girls if something happened to me. Since you did know, you probably would have not replied to any one saying you had kids but me. I just didn't want them to end up in an orphanage." Telulu whispered. "I wouldn't have bothered you if it weren't for that. I would have stayed away the last thing I wanted was for you to be unhappy."
Sesshoumaru felt lost in conflicting emotions. Every time he thought he knew exactly what Telulu's angle was on things, she proved him wrong. Hoping he now had the full story, he thought over the possible courses of action he could take.
He could pay for her to stay in the hospital and make arrangements for joint custody of the girls. He could send Telulu packing. He could have her live with him and Kagome… All weren't bad but had faults.
"What do you want to do now?" He asked.
"I don't know." Telulu murmured.
It was the truth; she had no clue what to do. She felt so lost though. She may be dying and she didn't even know what was causing it. There was one thing that she was completely sure of.
"I want the girls to be able to get to know you from here on out, Sesshoumaru. We can't just act like you never found out. If something is going to happen to me and they have to live with you, I want them to be comfortable." Telulu said.
They sat in silence, both trying to think of a plausible solution. The monitor continued with it's incessant beeping as they thought. Several minutes passed before Sesshoumaru came up with a good idea. He began to speak only to stop for a moment. Even though it was a good idea, he wasn't sure if it was the right one. He took another minute or so before he decided it was the only idea he had.
"What if you move back here, to Japan?" He suggested.
Telulu's eyes snapped up to look at him as though she was devastatingly confused.
It was at that moment that Mina chose to return to the room, arms full of various files.
"I apologize for taking so long, I was stopped a few times by my co-workers. But," Mina paused to set the files down on the bed. "I would like to run some tests whenever you are free."
Sesshoumaru looked at Telulu waiting for her to answer Mina's question.
"That's fine. Is the day after tomorrow good?"
"Oh yes. That's perfect. By the way you're clear to leave, Telulu. Just don't forget to check out. I have to get a lot of things done. I'll see you Wednesday." Mina said before gathering her files and leaving.
"I'll go get the girls and bring them back here, Telulu. Just think about what I said. Alright?"
Telulu nodded. "Of course. See you in a little while."
Sesshoumaru really hoped she would think about it. It really wasn't a bad Idea.
Finished!
