Closing her eyes as Jack's cool hand touched her face, Alice took in a deep breath and tried to lay still, even as the man beside her jumped. She would have opened her eyes to look at her mother, but it wouldn't have done any good. Marabelle moved from the doorway, softly closing the door behind her. Sitting on the very small edge, she studied her daughter's appearance, her heart breaking at every stitch she had to put into her skin to put her back together. "It's alright Jack, I won't breathe a word of this." Patting his cheek, her smile remained on her face. "How are you feeling, honey?" Alice finally cracked open her eyes and tried to focus on her mother's face. "Everything hurts.." She murmured, her hand reaching out for Marabelle's. "Let me give you some morphine... It will put you back to sleep, but that's what you need." Resting her daughter's hand back on the mattress, she moved to the end table and filled a syringe with clear fluid. In one movement, she wiped Alice's arm with iodine and stuck the needle deep into her muscle, injecting the pain killing drug. Without even a wince, Alice turned her attention back to Jack as he hovered nearby. "Please stay..." She mumbled, the numbing agent already working through her veins.
