JP - A Bad Time for Smoked Turkey Legs

Riven and Colt helped Frisk, making sure Haven was comfortable before they left. They didn’t want to make her more uncomfortable than she already was.

Haven remembered seeing these guys around the village from her window. She was still visibly anxious.

Megan got some supplies and ran after Frisk to help out. “What do ya need me to do?” She asked.

Frisk could tell that the tranquilizer she had given Haven earlier was wearing off. “Can you just talk to her, keep her calm?”

Megan nodded and sat down, looking at Haven. “Hey, remember me? You didn’t come outta your room much, but I think we spoke once or twice…I’m Megan.”

“Hi, Megan.” Haven said nervously, wincing in pain.

Megan thought for a moment and grabbed a little blush bunny from her bag, setting it down by Haven’s hand. “There,” She said. “You can hold Mr. Bunny.”

Haven blinked at the plush rabbit, confused. “Huh?”

“Just hold it. Sometimes it helps to squeeze on a plushie.” Megan suggested, offering Haven a kind smile. “Leimomi and Frisk here taught me that after I…uh…went through some bad stuff.”

“Oh.” Haven said, awkwardly holding the rabbit. She wondered if Megan knew she was twenty-five years old and not just a kid. But the plush bunny felt comforting.

Frisk smiled, proud of Megan for using her experience to help another. She spoke to a doctor that came for Haven, fortunately female, about Haven’s power and other useful information. “Being touched in any way is painful for her, whether or not her powers are active or if you’re wearing gloves… be gentle and avoid touching her as much as you can.” The doctor nodded. Frisk had worked with this doctor before, she wished this doctor had been around for Tzeitel six years ago, but at least Haven would be in good hands now.

Megan just smiled, happy to see Haven holding the bunny. Looking at the doctor that arrived, she smiled and waved. “Hi!” She chimed.

“Hi.” The doctor greeted Megan and Haven with a kind smile. She went over to Haven and asked her some delicate questions, quickly determining how far along she was and the best course of treatment. Haven clutched the stuffed rabbit, still looking scared.

“Hey, I’m here for you,” Megan told Haven. “And I know that Yule girl is too. She obviously cares about you. Did you two become friends while in the facility?” She wanted to get the girl’s mind off of what was happening at the moment.

Haven nodded. “We shared a cell.” She squeezed the rabbit anxiously as the doctor gently examined her.

Yule stepped into the room and was quick to sit nearby, holding her own stomach again. “H-how is she? Are you okay, Haven? I’m here…”

Haven looked at Yule, grateful to have her friend with her. “Can you just tell her?” She asked the doctor.

The doctor nodded. “It’s a miscarriage. From what I have determined your friend is less than three months along. I have some medications for her, she should fully recover.”

Lyle entered the room carrying a plate with smoked Turkey legs and some sides. The Man looked like he had his own running with the doctors sporting some bandages and stitches. "Hey Haven thought you might be hungry and I did make you a promise"

Unfortunately, Haven was far from hungry. She closed her eyes and buried her face in the stuffed rabbit.

“Now isn’t a good time, Lyle.” Frisk explained to Lyle. “Maybe tomorrow.”

Lyle nodded and placed a new phone on Havens nightstand and have another to Yule "either of you need anything call me my number is programmed in" he spoke softly before turning to Frisk "also one of the doctors wanted me to tell you in regards to the bet Juno knocked Ryan out."

“Damn, I lost ten bucks.” Frisk sighed. She had bet that Juno would hug him, then punch him.

Yule just stared at the phone and kept quiet. She was not hungry either.

Megan hopped up. “I could eat, old man!” She said to Lyle.

Lyle nodded at Megan "here why don't we give them some privacy then" he suggested heading to the door.

Frisk nodded. Haven looked overwhelmed, Yule looked close to it, and there were way too many people in the room. She set a card with her number on it next to the phones. “If you need me, call me, I’ll be around.” She said, following Megan and Lyle out of the room.
