Eva leaned her head back on the paper lined exam table, her eyes closed as she tried to keep her breathing somewhat calm. She was so anxious, it was easy for her to ignore the other patients and nurses who were staring at her bruises and sling. Her mind was on the appointment itself. Having Teddy there was definitely helping, but her worry was just too great. 

Wincing as she messed with the wrap on her good arm from the blood draw, she tried to remain optimistic but she knew better. Her medical training taught her to look at the science and facts as opposed to hopes and wishes. Really, she wanted this appointment to be over. She wanted to hear the news and go home so they could keep looking for Oliver. Waiting for the doctor to come do and read her ultrasound felt like hours, each second ticking by slowly, her heart not settling. To put it bluntly, she was terrified. Turning her attention to Teddy, she swallowed thickly, “Thanks for coming with.”

The talk on the car ride home was way more information than Eva was expecting. Hell, she’d stupidly expected nothing to happen while she was gone, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Oliver, even in his stupid ass disguise, was doing the best he could answering questions about Teddy, but ultimately, she needed to examine him herself. 

As soon as she walked in the door and saw the kids, she moved down to the med suite greeted by an eerily familiar sight. “Hey, Ted.” She said with an easy smile, nothing matching the swirl of emotions inside her chest. Keeping one eye on him as she walked toward the box of gloves mounted on the wall, pulling a pair out and sliding them on like she hadn’t just been in jail for nine days. “Wanna tell me what happened?” She knew what had happened, but this was always the first question in her exams, just to make sure her patients were still coherent.

Eva groaned again as she grabbed her supplies before moving back to watch Teddy. She knew she needed at least a little sleep or else she wouldn’t be able to accurately care for him. However, he needed ‘round the clock surveillance right now. Which led to Eva asking a couple of seemingly trustworthy recruits to keep an eye on him while she napped, showered, and got some more coffee. She hated leaving him under their eyes, but she was running on empty. She hadn’t slept in days and she was going to pass out before she had to do anything useful. 

She gave them specific instructions to watch his vitals and behavior and to come find her incase something seemed off. Entering the room, she was met with a sight that made her want to shoot each and every one of them. The three imbicils were passed out on the floor, clearly having fallen asleep on watch. Grunting in rage, she walked over and kicked them each, waking them up, her voice louder than it should be. “What the fuck did I say? I was gone for less than a half of a day and you fuckers can’t stay awake?” Disregarding them, she quickly turned her attention to Teddy and his vitals. She furrowed her brows at his appearance and readings. His temp was low and his heart rate was up. “Teddy?” She spoke softly, “Hey, can you wake up for me?”

Eva slammed the passenger door of the jag harder than she anticipated, briefly wondering if she would be scolded by its owner for being too rough. It was Teddy, so it wasn’t like she was actually going to be hurt by anything he said, if he did say anything. Adjusting her bag on her shoulder, she took a deep breath, face scrunching at the smell of the docks. “I don’t know how anyone chooses to be out here regularly. It smells exceptionally horrible tonight.” It was most likely due to the fires, but that didn’t stop Eva from complaining about it. She followed behind Teddy as they went to go find Oliver, another question popping into her head, “You did tell him you were bringing me, right?”

The adrenaline and shock were wearing off all too soon. So, Eva sat, panting, against the wall in the first conference room she could find in City Hall. Squeezing her eyes shut as she pressed the balled up fabric of her dress against the bullet wound. Why, why, why would you wear a mesh dress?! To be fair, she couldn’t have known this would have happened. All she knew was that she saw Matty, and knew he needed to come back home. The O’Shea that beat the ever-loving shit out of her conveniently was the one watching the kid. Naturally. She couldn’t know for sure until she heard from Oliver, but she prayed to whatever higher being existed that Matty made it to him safely. 

Her position on the floor was out of view from the entryway, incase the O’Shea came back to finish the job. It had been a good fifteen to twenty minutes since she got away, and she figured he wasn’t coming. That’s when she shot the text to Teddy that she needed help. She couldn’t give him a rundown of all her injuries, because truthfully, she didn’t know how many she had. Every part of her body hurt, her ribs, her head, the gaping hole in her fucking shoulder. Groaning, she heard the door open and assumed it was Teddy. If it wasn’t, well, she’d deal with that if it came to. “Teddy!” She screamed weakly, “The other side of the table.”

Eva’s head was pounding before she even opened her eyes. Thankfully, her blinds were still closed, only the cracks of sunlight peeking through the seams lit her room up. She couldn’t remember really anything from the night before. Eva hadn’t been that blacked out in a long time. Her stomach twisted, still rioting from her choice of only alcohol all night long, she tried to stay as stationary as possible, but she knew she’d have to wake up eventually. Begrudgingly opening her eyes, she blinked a few times, trying to get her sight to focus. Groaning in discomfort, she shifted on her bed, rolling over to see Teddy sitting in her room. If she had been more conscious, she might have gasped at the sight or even screamed, but the only thing she could mutter was, “Thanks for making sure I didn’t die. I assume that’s why you’re in here.”

Eva sat up in her bed, groaning aloud as she pulled her hands down her tired face. Her head still felt like it was spinning, and her stomach was rolling. What the hell was going on? The blinds were pulled shut, leaving the only light in the room to the lamp on her nightstand, the soft yellow barely illuminating the area. It felt like a horrendous hangover, but she hadn’t drank enough to warrant that. You know what else causes these symptoms besides the stomach flu or food poisoning? A quiet, yet aggressive, voice in the back of her mind asked almost tauntingly. Strategically ignoring the fact that she was weeks late at this point, she shoved the thought out of her head. The spinning had stopped long enough for her to stand and move toward the door. She needed water. Her mouth was suddenly dry from nerves. Not paying attention to the noise, she whipped open the door to see Teddy and Oliver lingering right on the other side. Not who I want to see right now. “Uh,” She started, looking between them curiously, “Can I help you two?”
