You did WHAT?!

Matt finished his phone call with Ian and was no closer to figuring out what had changed in the last 24 hours that he'd missed. The details were still sketchy, but the mystical world was abuzz with the news:

Dracula, Lord of the Undead, had been destroyed.

Matt still couldn't believe it. There was a small part of him that was miffed that he didn't get to do the deed himself, being Dracula's son, but a much larger part of him wanted shake that person's hand for what they'd done. He decided not to think too much about how this made him feel and instead chose to surprise his girlfriend with lunch at the office.

Only, once he gets to hospital, he learns that she didn't come in today. He looks down at Whisper, who just looks at him.

"You're some help."

The pair then turns up on Shelly's doorstep, cheeseburgers in hand. Matt knocks and waits for her to answer.

	"If I eat I think I'll start throwing up black crap again so, how about I just lay on the couch and pet Whisper while he eats?" Shelly pulled herself up and lead him to her study where she retrieved the spell from a drawer of her desk. "This is the basic spell, these notations are the variations. I used this one."

	Matt starts looking over the spell and grimaces. He'd seen something similar to this before and he thought it was bad news then, too. "I see where you were going, but it looks like you misjudged a few words." he says. "I need you to eat something, Shelly. This stuff is eating you from the inside out, so you need to keep your strength up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You get to hold the barf bucket, just saying." She pulls a burger out of the bag and starts eating it. "How off was I?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not a great deal. Were you doing something else when you put the spell together?" Matt asks. "This just looks like too simple of a mistake for someone of your caliber." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was in a little bit of a hurry. Matt, Dracula had shown up a few days before and I barely fended him off then. I had to get this up and running and fast." She sighed. "I feel like I want to be sick." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Go sit down and relax. Whisper, makes sure she sits down and doesn't get up. Sit on her if you have to." Matt says. Whisper barks an affirmative and comes to chase Shelly to the couch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Whisper, I swear to god if you sit on me you will not like how I respond and I don't care how big of a dog you are." She raises her brow to him and then sighs, heading out to the couch as commanded. "I mean it, pooch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Whisper against makes the sound of the derisive snort and waits for her to sit down. When she does, he climbs up next to her and lays his heavy head across her lap and promptly closes his eyes. Matt begins studying the information, trying to rig up a spell to counter Shelly's work. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Now see, this I can work with. You're doing your job...I get to pet your ears...soon your tail will start thumping against the couch and I'll know I'll have a happy hellhound."

She started to pet the dog, taking a deep breath then tried somewhat successfully not to cough.

"You're welcome, about Fangs. The look of relief in your eyes for all of ten seconds before you got pissed was entirely worth it."

	"You know, Whisper, you could at /least/ pretend that her female charms don't work on you." Matt says. "And if you'd done that without nearly killing yourself, Shelly, I'd be in the middle of thanking you profusely for your efforts." Matt says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blackmagicwoman 2011-09-12 12:34 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, but I wouldn't be getting to rub Whisper's belly so it works out." She lay her head on the back of the couch and just looked sick. Maybe even thinner. "I love you, you know." Pause. "Both of you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, don't talk like that, Shelly. I love you, too, but I hear that tone. You're gonna be okay. I promise." Matt says, working on the spell. It takes the better part of three hours, but he thinks he's got it. "Okay, Shelly! You still with me?" he calls out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Her hand had stopped petting Whisper about an hour and a half into Matt's work, but she was still with him, just barely. She opened her eyes at the sound of his voice. "I'm so cold, Matt." The opposite was actually true. She was shaking, but her body was burning with fever. "I think I need a sweater." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh shit..." Matt says, moving into the living room with a strange, blue liquid in one of the vials she keeps in her office/lab. "Baby, stay with me. Drink this." Matt says, sitting next to her and wincing at how hot she's become. Whisper licks her cheek and whimpers. "Shelly, do /not/ do this to me right now." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blackmagicwoman 2011-09-12 01:14 am UTC (link)
	Her eyes widened then narrowed and widened again as she tried to focus on the vial. Her hand was shaking too hard to take it, but if Matt offered it to her lips she'd drink it without resistance. She had not ability to resist anything at this point. "Oh god that shit tastes nasty..." she murmured, making a face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	this_fire_burns 2011-09-12 01:33 am UTC (link)
	Matt does, indeed, put the vial to her lips and force her to drink. "The whole thing. Pretend it's sex, honey." Matt says, trying to keep her in the moment and not let her pass out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blackmagicwoman 2011-09-12 01:37 am UTC (link)
	"I wouldn't drink sex," she protests. It's just enough argument to keep her with him and she does manage to drink it all. Shelly gags a bit, but it doesn't come back up. "What is in that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	this_fire_burns 2011-09-12 01:52 am UTC (link)
	Matt names some really nasty ingredients that are foul on their own, but are even worse when put together. "Now, we should know really soon if it worked." Matt says. "Either you'll feel okay...or you won't feel anything." he says, holding her close. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blackmagicwoman 2011-09-12 01:57 am UTC (link)
	"By not feel anything you mean I'll die." Shelly curled herself into his arms and buried her face against his chest. "Don't let me go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	this_fire_burns 2011-09-12 02:08 am UTC (link)
	"I won't." Matt says, holding her close. Several minutes go by in silence and then Matt speaks again. "Will you marry me?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blackmagicwoman 2011-09-12 02:11 am UTC (link)
	Shelly was drifting in and out a bit. Her body had stopped shaking, though she was still very warm. Her body had grown so still that Shelly herself wondered if she... Then, Matt spoke. Her dark head lifted from his chest and she looked up at him, bleary-eyed. "Yes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good. Now you have to live, because I intend to sit through wedding planning that will make my brain melt while you show me colors and patterns and such." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blackmagicwoman 2011-09-12 10:07 am UTC (link)
	She laughed, a little weakly. "I'm not that picky and you know it, Walker." She sighed and rested her head against him. "I want cheeseburgers for the reception and Whisper is Hellhound of Honor." With a deep breath Shelly grew still again, lapsing into a deep sleep as she cuddled against Matt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The hell you aren't. You love making decide which dress you should wear. Next time you ask, I'm gonna be honest about how they make your butt look." Matt says. When she falls asleep, he just holds her, intent on staying away until she wakes up, though he'd like to sleep as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Shelly sleeps for over a day before stirring a bit, groaning as she comes back into herself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's a good sign. It's usually what you say after sex." Matt smirks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blackmagicwoman 2011-09-22 01:53 am UTC (link)
	"I usually feel better than this after sex. Ugh. I think I was hit by a bus. Whisper, did you get the number?" She slowly pulls herself up, blinking as her vision clears. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Matt brings her water and aspirin, then sits next to her. "I'm glad you're still with me. It's been a while." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blackmagicwoman 2011-09-22 01:58 am UTC (link)
	"Well, I couldn't go anywhere. I had a hellhound on my lap and a certain man mentioned something about me marrying him." She smiled and squeezed his hand. "Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I did mention us getting married. Now, since I don't have parents to introduce you to, we can stick Ian and your Dad with planning the wedding. This way, we can just find a place to have sex quietly while we get to work on enjoying our honeymoon in advance. How does that sound?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Matt Walker when have we ever had sex quietly?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
