"Might have been a Vitamin K shot." murmured Mary, mostly to herself. She left the room to go discuss Alessa's case with the doctor. Alessa curled herself into a ball, then began to shake and whimper quietly. She hated the iron shots greatly; she'd rather be stuck a hundred times for blood draws than have an iron shot.

Gabe looked at Alessa. "If she didn't want the shot that badly, i'd hate to see what it actually feels like," he thought. He turned around and looked into the halway, watching as doctors and nurses walked by. He started paying with a hand sanitizer dispenser on the wall. It was really quiet.

Mary returned with the doctor. She glanced over to Gabe, then shook her head. 'Why are men so easily distracted?' she asked herself. She moved to swab Alessa's thigh. Alessa's breathing increased as she was swabbed. "Gabe, come over here." said Mary, a little sternness in her voice. She knew that Alessa needed to be comforted right now.

[Hamrollz]

"Uh- yea," he said as he ran over. He felt kind of uncomfortable doing this, but he knelt beside Alessa and kissed her forehead. "It's going to be ok," he said. "You got this girl," he said half-jokingly.

Mary sat next to Gabe and gently took her paws. Alessa winced a bit as she was being surrounded. "Deep breaths..." said Mary calmly, "Don't hold your breath." Alessa tried kicking out after Gabe kissed her forehead. The poor girl never had been kissed in her life. "Soft restraints!" called the doctor. "No, absolutely not." said Mary lowly. "You can't override my call." he stated. "Watch me." she growled, narrowing her eyes. Mary moved to keep Alessa's hips still. "Take her paws and talk to her." she ordered, looking to Gabe.

[Hamrollz]

Gabe put his paws on hers. He repeated things like "you can do this," and "its ok," to her in a hushed tone. He wasn't a very good motivational speaker, but he thought it may help. He looked her in the eyes as he spoke, praying this would work.

Alessa struggled against them as she cried out. "No!" she barked, "Please no!" Mary kept a firm grip on Alessa. "It'll be over soon." she promised. Alessa's body went ridged as she was stuck with the needle. She howled in pain, even after the needle was removed. Mary released her grip to put a bandage where the needle had went in.

"I hope I never have to have one of those shots," Gabe thought. His eyes wandered for a bit, then looked back at Alessa. "You did a good job," He said. "If by good job you mean scream so loud I go deaf in one ear," he added in his thoughts.

[Boomer]

Mary moved off of the bed to get the girl an ice pack. Alessa was trembling a bit. She wasn't crying or screaming, she was silent. This concerned Mary a bit. "Alessa?" she said. Alessa didn't respond to her as she stared at the wall with wide eyes.

[Hamrollz]

Gabe turned to look at mary. He didn't know what was going on. Maybe Alessa was just shocked or something, but he couldn't tell. “Is she ok,” he asked Mary. was she worried about something?
