Room 406, Sunday morning

[izzyalienqueen]

Despite waking up several times still feeling the mummy's claws digging into her neck, Isabel had slept reasonably well. It had helped that each time she woke up, there was someone to hold onto as she went back to sleep. She doesn't have to be anywhere until cheerleading practice, and given how stiff and sore she feels, Isabel isn't certain she's actually going to be doing much practice. But she'll go, because she is part of the team.

For now though, she's content to doze, snuggled up next to Greg.

"I promise," she said. "It's nice to make people worry. Well, not nice. But it's nice to know they worry because they care." Still leaning against him, Isabel yawned.

"Uh huh. You realise that makes no sense, right?" he asked, laughing softly. "But okay. As long as you promise." Pressing his cheek against her hair, he sighed then pulled away. "Go back to bed, Izzy. You wouldn't want Greg to get lonely."

"It made sense in my head," she said with a small laugh. "But I promise. I it won't happen again." Isabel kissed his cheek before stepping back and opening the door. "I'll see you later?"

Jack smiled gently at her as she kissed his cheek. "Count on it." His smile faded as she shut the door, and he dropped his head to rest against it, closing his eyes. After a minute he took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and headed down the hallway for the stairs.

Inside the room, Isabel quickly found the bottle of Tylenol Dr. Reid had given her and took a few to help with the stiffness. She climbed carefully into the bed and smiled when Greg's arm automatically wrapped around her. Within minutes she was back asleep.
