Pound Cake lifted his head a bit as they arrived at the hospital and he felt Alessa's paw slip from his. Maybe it was his parental instinct, but he had a slight fear that Alessa was going to be taken from him. The bat clenched the sides of the gurney, wincing. " No... anything but that" He murmured almost inaudibly. After all, this was the second time he had allowed her to get hurt, not to mention their house had practically collapsed in on them. "I'mma terrible dad" He mumbled listlessly to the nurse helping him into a gown.

Once both of them were changed into gowns, the doctors moved the curtain out of the way. A nurse went to allow Tulee into the room. Alessa looked to Pound Cake and whimpered quietly. She hadn't seen him looking so tired and stressed before; it frightened her to see him in his current state. Pound Cake had IV fluids going, as did Alessa.

Tulee followed after the nurse without hesitation, wanting to be with Alessa and Pound Cake. Worriedly, she glanced over at the two of them, unsure who to go to. Seeing Alessa look so frightened made her heart break just a little. The poor thing... she doesn't deserve this..She thought sadly. But, she hesitated to try to comfort the pup becasue she knew Alessa didn't trust women. But, at the moment Pound Cake was to dazed to comfort anyone.

Pound Cake appeared to be asleep; his head was softly lolled against his chest and his eyes were closed. His heart rate was slightly elevated from pain, but he was breathing much easier as he lay still and rested for a bit. His right wing was still bent awkwardly out from underneath him and hung slightly off the hospital bed, though the left one was pulled in close to his body and tucked under him.

Alessa glanced over to Tulee as she entered the room. Two surgeons walked into the room and went to examine Pound Cake's wing. They lightly felt it to see if it was broken. Alessa stayed quiet as they looked over the wing.

Pound Cake's wing appeared to be broken, but thankfully it wasn't a compound fracture. As the surgeons touched his wing, a sharp pain startled Pound Cake out of his semiconscious daze. His eyes snapped open and he nearly came off of the hospital bed in an instinctive attempt to bolt. Though he couldn't even seem sit up properly without shifting his wings. The bat grasped the sheets tightly, trying to resist the urge to let out a curse as he remembered Alessa was in the room.

The surgeons apologized quietly to Pound Cake before talking to one of the ER doctors. They needed an x-ray before moving Pound Cake to the OR. Alessa shuddered a little as they mumbled about him needing surgery. She had a tonsillectomy when she was five; it was rather painful for her afterwards, but she did get food every day for about a week.

Tulee nervously bit her lip as she overheard the surgeons talked about Pound Cake needing surgery. She had never broken any bones, but she knew Pound Cake had broken his leg once before when they where kids. Gently, she reached over and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze.

Pound Cake took a few breaths to try to calm himself down and forget about the pain in his wing and his upper back. " S'alright" He mumbled to the surgeon who had apologized to him. Resting his head back, he tried to think of anything other than his current uncomfortable situation. Pound Cake was grateful for Tulee's gentle reassurance as she squeezed his hand.

The doctors unlocked the gurney and began to move Pound Cake out of the room. They were taking him to radiology. Alessa's eyes were slightly widened as Pound Cake was moved out of the room. She was a bit unsure if Tulee would stay with her or go with her friend. Either way, Pound Cake wouldn't be there to comfort the pup.

Pound Cake stiffened a bit as the doctors moved him out of the room- he didn't want to be apart from Celeste. "Tules-" He murmured to the rabbit, but even before Pound Cake had said anything Tulee had a feeling she knew what he wanted her to do. " Don't worry, i'll stay with her" She assured him quietly. Pound Cake gave a slight nod, too tired to say anything else. Listlessly, he allowed the doctors take him to radiology. I promised Alessa I'd be with her. . . He thought miserably.

As Pound Cake was put into the elevator, Alessa felt like something was sitting on her chest. She was terribly anxious, especially as her doctor came back. He looked to Tulee. "It does look like she needs another iron shot." he said, "Would you like us to give her a sedative first?" Alessa looked over to Tulee for her answer.
