Betty didn't move she Barley breathed but she did

“How can I help?” he wondered aloud, not really expecting an answer. He had one idea but he was hesitant to move her mask.

Betty didn't move the only movement was her her chest barley moving up and down to show she was was at least breathing

Evan took a small sense of relief at the sight, as well as the soft beating in his chest. It was somewhat reassuring to him that she would be ok… After some mental debate, he sat down on the bed beside her and lightly kissed her forehead.

Back at the house Tyler had manged to fully fall asleep.

Betty's skin on her leg was bad you could see the black veins running up her skin from her knee all the way up to her hip

Lysander sighed in relief when he noticed and made his way to the kitchen. No doubt by now the kids would all be hungry.

“Oh, Betty. What happened to you?” Evan groaned when he saw the state of her leg. He must have moved the sheets on accident when he sat down… but he pushed that thought aside as he had to move quickly, hoping this would work. He carefully bit his wrist and brought it to her mouth as he lifted her mask for a few moments.

Betty wasn't conscious so she couldn't drink his blood Betty had already lost alot of blood

“Come on.” Evan whispered almost desperate as he angled his wrist so the blood would just flow into her mouth. The reaction to swallow should still be automatic, even in a comatose state.

Betty swallowed the blood but the veins only vanished shortly before reappearing

“Damn…” Evan swore softly. His first thought was that she needed more blood… but he wasn't sure. Plus he didn't have that much left to share.

Betty's vitals were low which was expected since she had an oxygen mask on

Evan sighed a little and readjusted her mask since he had moved it to try to feed her.

Tyler woke up and looked around

Lysander was still in the kitchen, having just finished cooking something for Tyler, Laura-Beth, and himself as well as preparing some formula for the younger kids.

" what are you doing?" She asked tiredly

"The kids haven't eaten yet. And I figured you might be hungry too." Lysander explained. "I just have to figure out how to take three bottles upstairs with my crutch. After this morning, I shouldn't put too much more strain on my leg."

" you shouldn't be on it at all you know Betty wouldn't like it" she said

Lysander sighed a little at that. “Someone has to take care of the kids. And with Betty not here, it's my responsibility.” he pointed out, not planning to ask her to do this while she was still expecting.

" Lysander " She said

“No, Tyler.” he replied firmly. “You can't talk me out of this. But if Henry gets back here in less than five minutes… I’ll sit down and let him do it. Ok?” he added with a sigh… mostly in an attempt to get her to calm down.

"Are you worried about her?" She asked

“Of course, I am.” he said, not bothering to hide it. “I… I shouldn't have let her do that. I had a plan…”

" Betty is always gonna put your life before hers " she said

“I know.” Lysander sighed. “I guess that happens when you're in love because I'm willing to put her and the kids’ lives before mine.”
