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.

	"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)

	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)

	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)

	"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)

	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)

	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)

	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)
