"Um, i-is that better or worse than before?" Luna trotted over to Calla's bed and licked her hand.
"Um, i-is that better or worse than before?" Luna trotted over to Calla's bed and licked her hand.
Zoey sat down unnoticed by Calla's bed, silently listening. She wondered if the others even realized that she was there.
"When I was born, I had an abnormally small heart. That's why I had a heart attack/ seizure. But my birth mom didn't want me. So I was taken to an orfanage. Then, My moms adopted me. Doctor Smith is actually my mom, and I'm technically a Smith-Heath. But I cut the Smith out of my name later. My other mom is actually on her way, she's just stuck in a traffic jam from work. She's a reporter." Calla told them, "Sorry if that was weird."
Calla blushed.
Levi stared at her. "That's…a lot to take in so quickly." (I have to guys bye!)
Robin listened quietly, sitting on the edge of the bed. "No, it's fine. I'm sure we all have stories like that which we'd rather not tell. You're very brave for sharing." He smiled at her, and Blackberry chirped. Luna licked Calla's hand again.
Calla smiled. Then Mrs. Heath rushed in and gave Calla a hug. Calla spluttered and said "Mom, you're embarrassing me!"
(I can't decide whether I ship Zobin or Ralla. I haven't decided a better ship name for Robin and Calla though…)
"Gloria, let Calla be. Teens don't do hugs." Dr. Smith chuckled.
"Ellen, let me hug her."
"Ellen, let me hug her."
(Mrs. Heath said.)
Robin stepped back, not wanting to be in the way. Neither woman seemed to notice Luna, which confused him. He whistled and Luna trotted towards him, sitting politely at his side.
Zoey smiled at Calla and her mother. " I had brain cancer Calla, so I understand."
Calla relented and let her mom hug her. "Oof!" Calla grunted.
Mrs. Heath said, "Whos a good puppy? Aren't you beautiful!" to Luna. Calla said to Zoey, "Yeah. I think cancer is worse, though. Imagine the body fighting itself, cell versus cell. But I've been here, like, a billion times, so it's no biggie."
Luna wagged her tail and came over to Mrs. Heath, allowing the woman to pet her. Robin watched quietly, glad that not everyone was afraid of wolves.
Zoey nodded. "Yeah, I've spent about half of my life in the hospital. I'm going to be a doctor when I grow up!" She said proudly. She turned to Robin. "So, wolves, ducks, what else do you have up your sleeve? I'm itching for a new adventure."
Dr. Smith said, "Well, I see Calla is well taken care of. Ellen, you head on back to work, I'll get back to my paitients."
When the women left, Calla said "Hey, you ok? You seem a bit shaken up, Robin."
"Er, I have rabbits, birds, bear cubs, wolves, deer, ducks, geese, a few squirrels, a raccoon, and… a fox." Robin counted them off on his fingers. "All of which should still be living in the forest next to my house, or near the forest." Robin looked up at Calla's comment. "Hmm? Oh! Y-yeah, I'm fine. I had a panic attack earlier… but I should be okay now."
"I'm sorry if this was weird. You can go if you want." Calla said. Then she thought, Please let them stay, please please stay.
Zoey laughed. "Can I meet them Robin?"
"But let's stay with Calla for a little while longer." Zoey said thoughtfully.
He turned towards Zoey. "Yeah, sure. I don't see why not. But we should stay with Calla for now." He watched Luna playing with Zoey happily and smiled.
A nurse walked in. She said to Robin and Zoey, "Please leave the room for a minute. I need to do a checkup, and if Calla is better, she can leave with a clean bill of health. I'll only be a minute."
