[Mayday] Knock, knock, anyone there?

[weirdweb.livejournal.com]

Who: Mayday
Where: Medical Facility: Outside/inside Room A
When: Day 20, Mid-Morning (right after and partly during Isabel's Exposition)
Invited: Chris, Molly, Tara, anyone who wanders down the hallway
Status: Complete

May jogged down the hallways, not running this time, but not taking her time either. It would just figure if something else happened while she was gone - and even if it didn't, she was worried about Molly and Tara. She also didn't want to get left behind; Dean was still pissed, Jon wasn't thrilled at having her along, and Sam - well, Sam was just trying to keep Dean from running his mouth off.

The excuse to get away from Isabel was a bonus, though. She'd purposely refused to even acknowledge the woman. Even if her story was true, it didn't justify tossing Claire around like a beanbag and nearly killing her. True, she probably did feel remorse, true, it was probably an irrational mistake and May was no stranger to giving people second chances - but now, she wasn't in a forgiving frame of mind. Now, if she talked to Isabel, she might just give in to the temptation of screaming at her and setting off the powerful and emotionally unstable telekinetic. Which would only make things worse. Part of her wanted to scream at Isabel and demand to know what was wrong with her, but... no, she wasn't going to think about that.

Besides, every damn time she walked away from a scene this morning, all hell broke loose. Granted, she couldn't be in two places at once, but given the pattern, she wasn't taking any chances with Molly and Tara.

She was half afraid that she'd come back to find Chris passed out as well, so she knocked on the door with some trepidation. "Chris? You still there?"

"More or less," Chris answered, much to her relief. "What's going on?"

Oh, yeah, start with the easy questions. "Short version: Claire's gone into labor, it's the new girl's fault." She barreled on before Chris could react. "Dr. Pierson and Damon are with Claire, and Daniel sent me to check on you guys. Everything okay? Anything better?" She paused. "Given the way this morning's been, is it at least safe to come in?"


OOC: Bed now. Night, all!

[Molly] Who'se there?

Molly gestured May to come in. "Chris just made it okay to come in. Tara's awake, but very weak, and she needs fluids and food. In fact, a saline IV wouldn't be wasted on her. She's also going to need this wound tended once one of the medical types have a spare moment. It could most likely use some ointment and a gauze to keep it clean."

Molly had managed to get a little water down Tara, who was sitting upright only because of the hospital bed's attributes. Molly was still a bit on the glowy side, and her pale eyes made her enlarged pupils obvious. If they looked a bit more oval than round it was most likely a trick of the light.

"How long has Claire been going? It can take up to two days with equines once they start."

[Mayday] I hate long explanations

May opened the door, and was relieved to see Tara and Molly both conscious. Tara looked drained, but she was drinking, and offered May a weak smile as she came in. May let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "Hey, Tara, how you doing?"

"Thirsty," Tara replied faintly.

"Food and water shouldn't be a problem. This place is pretty well stocked. Hang on one second?" May turned and sprinted down the hall to the cafeteria. She found the bottled water immediately and was back a minute later, handing the bottle off to Molly as the redhead asked about Claire's labor.

"Maybe twenty minutes, I'm not sure - the Doctor came in while Isabel was explaining herself to let us know Claire's water broke." May bit back the bitterness in her words at the mention of Isabel. She would deal with that later. "The problem is that Isabel might have induced labor early - she mistook Claire for someone else and threw her into a wall."

"She did what?" Chris demanded, astonished.

"Yeah. Ask Daniel for the whole story." She took a deep breath. "There's more, but I don't think you guys want me to unload it all on you now."

[Chris] It can wait

(OOC: Sorry, had no muses the last day or two.)

Chris wished, not for the first time, that he could heal. However, now wasn't the time to go into that, not when Tara still needed help. "Probably a good idea," he said. "Just... does she need any help?"

Not that he could do the help, but still, it would be considered nice for him to answer.

[Mayday] Yeah, no kidding

May sighed, looking at Molly with no small amount of concern. Molly was up, her color was better, but she still looked a tiny bit Day-Glo and her pupils seemed dilated. "Doc Pierson wanted me to check since you mentioned having experience midwiving," she replied finally. "Claire's actually doing fine now - I think you'd need to forcibly drag Damon away from her side, and even that might fail."

Molly smiled slightly. "No surprise, that. Except maybe to the two of them."

"Obvious to everyone but themselves, huh?" May said.

The redhead nodded. "If Claire really needs help..."

"Now, I think she's okay," May interrupted. "If you ask me, you still look a little worse for wear and I'm guessing Tara needs you now more than anybody." She glanced back at the blonde girl, who was sitting back with her eyes closed, half-asleep and oblivious to the conversation. A look at Chris confirmed that she was right about that. "I thought you'd at least want to know what's going on before I take off."

Chris frowned. "Where are you going?"

"Perimeter sweep. Again, ask Daniel later - this morning made last night look peaceful."

OOC: Okay, that's it, gotta run! Back on Sunday!

[Chris] I'll take care of the kids, you have a good time

"Right," Chris said, still frowning. He looked over at Molly. Right now, she and Tara needed his attention. "You go, I expect we'll be right here when you get back."

Molly was still tottery and Tara was still out of it. "Molly, you should rest, too," he told the redhead.

"I'm kinda on a magic buzz, here. Hardly conducive to resting. Tara needs food and liquids. I'll make sure she gets them down." Molly climbed up to the top bunk of the bunkbeds in the room and sat there crouched like a gargoyle... no, more like an imp. "I feel like I can fly. Relax. I'm too sensible to try."

She looked down at Tara and winked. "You'll be fine, sweetie. You managed to save everyone a lot of time and trouble, and possibly even injury or death depending on what was rigged up with that lockdown. So yeah for the kick ass wiccan chick."

"Um... right... liquids and soup... I should go get that... right?"

May almost laughed at Molly's position, as she reminded herself that was something she'd do to prove she was okay. "Okay, okay. I'm convinced. Don't mind me, I'm just channeling my Mom all of a sudden."

She bent down and pulled her backpack out from under the bunk bed, rifling through it and pulling out the cloth and the web-shooters, bundling them up in her arms as best she could so they couldn't really tell what they were. "There's plenty down the hall, if you'll settle for the canned kind. Take it easy, okay, and check in with Daniel when you can?" That was directed at all three of them, of course - Murphy's Law never slept around here. "I'll see you guys later."

MAYDAY EXITS

I'm just going to mark this as "Complete" and move on since Molly's now on Claire duty. Any objections? I'll reopen it if there's anything more for Chris and Tara to do.
