What if I bleed, What if I break; [Open to anyone in Medbay]

[letmelive]

Claire had somehow managed to sleep through quite a lot in the last day and a half. Maybe she would've woken up sooner if she'd had any idea of what was going on around her, but whether it was the drugs or overall fatigue from blood loss and the energy it had taken to keep awake until shed been put under, she slept through the night and most of the day. She came close to waking up a few times, stirring in her sleep or voices pulling her up from her dreams, but she'd slip under again before fully waking.

After a while, she just couldn't sleep anymore, however. She wasn't particularly quick in the waking aspect, of course. She was aware first that she wasn't in her "bed" in the precinct almost immediately. Her stomach felt oddly numb, and slowly she blinked her eyes open, staring up at the ceiling above her, a look of slightly disoriented confusion passing over her face. One hand moved to her stomach, and she felt the bandage there, remembering.

I got shot. The thought was a little disturbingly calm. She briefly considered sitting up to get a better look around her, but there was a dull ache underneath the numbness, and she decided she was pretty good in the position she was currently in, for the moment. She did turn her head, though, when she caught movement in her peripheral vision.

"Okay," Sherry murmured with a shy, embarrassed smile. It hadn't been her intent to make her mother worry over her, when she was the one in bed. "I won't unless there's an emergency," she promised. "Like this. This was an emergency." She kissed her mother's forehead and drew away.

"I'm going to go now, so you can rest some, too." Besides, she didn't want to be forcibly shooed out by Doctor Grey.

Claire didn't particularly think her getting hurt was something her daughter and best friend should be losing sleep over, especially since she was fine, but part of her did appreciate how worried they'd been. Nodding at Sherry, she smiled a little, reaching out to squeeze her daughter's shoulder.

"Sounds good. Make sure Dad gets some sleep too, all right?"

Sherry smiled, "I will, Mom." She'd just have to find him first. Oh well, that wouldn't be so hard. He'd only be in two places anyway - even if the precinct was huge. She started to walk away and stopped short, turning back around to her mother.

"I'll see you later, I love you," Sherry added and hurried out of the medbay.
