1 x 1 with Taxi

"No." Max said as he looked at her, "You leave that for the doctors to do." he said softly as he looked over at her. He looked over as a nuse and a doctor came in, the nurse walked over and took the IV out as the doctor had Max sign the paperwork.

[Boomer]

Alessa gingerly rubbed her wrist as she was freed from the IV. "Can Mary and Maria stop by later?" she asked, looking to Max, "I miss them." Alessa had grown attached to Mary as a mother figure. She was kind and gentle, and never berated the girl; she was everything Alessa had ever wanted in a mother.

[ShadowHunteress]

Max exhaled softly and nodded, "Of course." he said softly as he looked at her, it was saturday, he had been hoping to just spend the day with his family, but it didn't seem Alessa wanted that.

[Boomer]

Alessa wagged her tail as she looked to Scarlett. "Maybe the pups can come too." she said happily, "Then we can play tea party again." She moved towards the door, off in her own little world.

[ShadowHunteress]

Matt noticed his dad's look though and he went over to Alessa, "Maybe we can just have a family day? We can watch movies, and have popcorn, or, well, jello or pudding?" he offered as he looked at her, his own tail wagging.

[Boomer]

Alessa's tail stopped wagging as Matt spoke. She seemed a little confused, but didn't question him. "Sure..." she said quietly.

[ShadowHunteress]

Matt's ears went back as well, "It's just, I think dad wants to get to know you." he said as he looked at her, "We can have them over too if you want that."

[Boomer]

Alessa lightly shook her head; she had caused enough grief for one day. "It's okay..." she said quietly, "They don't have to come." The girl mindlessly played with Scarlett's stringy fur. "May I take this bracelet off now?" she asked, looking to Max.

[ShadowHunteress]

Matt looked at her, he exhaled softly and looked away and went back to his dad's side. Max looked over at her, "Of course." he said, the nurse came over and undid the bracelet for her.

[Boomer]

Alessa was still as the bracelet was taken off. "Thank you..." she said softly, gingerly rubbing her wrist. Alessa slowly wandered out of the room, a bit desperate to leave the hospital. She'd tense up as a doctor would walk past her; painful memories were resurfacing about her burn treatments and surgeries. Alessa clung to Scarlett for dear life.
