{When Eleanor arrives in the room (thankfully a private one) she's panting softly and her arms are wrapped around herself. she floats over to the bedside, trying to act normal.}
im here! {she gives Janine a peck on the cheek.}
Thankfully. Not very nice, being in here alone with the machines.
I'll bet! I AM pretty glad its quiet in here though..
Well, I knew it would be rather difficult to get the quietest room in the hospital, since I doubt it exists. But I did ask for a quieter room so we could have our peace. Having private insurance pays off
thank you.. {Eleanor puts her hands on janine's shoulders gently.} I know my hands are cold, but does it help with the pain any..?
It’s a relief, at least. Like an ice pack. {Janine leans slightly closer to Eleanor.} thank you…
{El gently rubs and massages at her wife's shoulders, careful not to hurt her.} Glad I can help. will the doctor be by soon..?
I got an X-ray half an hour ago. The doctor said he’ll bring my results in soon.
{the doctor, a woman named Dr. Evans, a long with a few nurses, enter the room. Dr Evans yelps and one of the nurses drops his clipboard. the sound makes El flinch.}
Oh, Doctor. Hello. Um. This is Eleanor, I do believe I told you about her earlier?
Dr. Evans: oh!-.. TH-THIS is.. your wife??
Yes. Did you forget I worked for the Ghostbusters? I know how to talk to people like my one true love.
Dr. Evans: ...I... suppose I just wasn't expecting a full-on.. ghost. uh- {ahem-} okay..
well your shoulder is fractured. you'll have to stay here for the night, and then you'll be sent home in a sling, I'm sure it'll heal in about 30 days, and you should come back to see me for a check-up by then.
Thank you. Darling, do you want to spend the night or would you prefer to go home?
of course I'll stay with you love! {She sits on the side of the bed and rubs Janine's shoulders again.}
...Thank you. It'll be nice to have your company anyway.
Mhm! {Eleanor winces as the doctors leave, the open door letting in more sounds of the hallway.}
Hey, hey. You're okay. Its okay.
{El cowers as a loud an unintelligible voice rings out over the P.A warning of a John Doe child somewhere in the hospital getting away from his room. She lets out a sort of choked sound, hiding her face behind Janine’s back.}
Shhh... you're okay. You're okay...
{There's a small flash of light, and Eleanor suddenly looks different. She lets out a soft whimper. Janine knows what happened. Eleanor is still hiding behind her back.}
{Janine takes a deep breath. She knows she needs to stay calm, but its rather difficult with the pain in her shoulder... oh well.}
Dear? Please try and breath. It'll be okay.
I-im so sorry d-dearest- I should be stronger for you.. I just d-don't want you seeing me like t-this- {El is hyperventilating, but trying to calm down. She puts one hand on the sheets to ground herself, the other still gently resting On Janine's shoulder as Eleanor hides behind her, ashamed of her "spookier" form.}
Shh. Its okay. I love you regardless.
I-i know b-but I look so horrific-.. {She sobs and just hugs Janine from behind, still refusing to be seen as she is.}
Stop stop stop. You aren't horrific. I have seen much worse, believe me. You are beautiful.
really...? {Eleanor peeks out from behind her girlfriend, still in her banshee form.}
