Charles stayed with her as long as the doctors allowed him to since he was her father and he helped her out with her three new babies.
Lysander and the rest of the family, minus Evan, had just arrived and were heading to the room.
They eventually made him leave as of Betty had an emergency and needed to rest
Charles wasn’t happy when he had to leave but he was able to kiss her forehead before he took the kids with him to the waiting room just outside the O.R.
"well can she leave yay" Tyler asked
”No. Not yet.” Charles shook his head at Tyler's comment. ”The doctor’s need to operate on her and she may be here overnight for recovery.”
”Recovery? What's wrong with her?” Henry asked stunned, though Lysander was more so.
”They said they found a blood clot and they need to take care of the injuries she received from being attacked by the council.” Charles answered, gesturing for everyone to take a seat with him and get comfortable.
Betty had been saying Lysanders name as she slept
Lysander, of course, could hear her but… If she was still in surgery then it would be unlikely that he would be allowed to see her yet.
The doctor walked out " she's out of surgery but very weak" he said
”Thank you.” Lysander nodded at the doctor. ”Can I see her?”
He nodded
With the doctor's permission, Lysander all but raced into her room.
She was laying there tubes needles and bloodbags
He knelt beside her bed and gently placed his hand on top of her’s.
She weakly turned her head to him
“Hey.” he said softly with a gentle smile.
"H-Hi" she said weakly
”How do you feel?” he asked in the same gentle tone, lightly running his thumb across the back of her hand.
"not to good " she said followed by pulling her hand away to grab her rag and cough blood into it
”Did they tell you what’s wrong?” he asked in worry as she coughed.
"my blood isn't flowing correctly" she said
”Because of the clot?” he nodded slightly. It made sense to him that way. ”Do they have any idea how it happened?”
She coughed again " from the delivery"
He bit the inside of his cheek at that, already blaming the deal-making imp for this since it was his magic that accelerated her pregnancy and was no doubt involved in the sudden birth of the twins as well. ”Is there anything I can do to help?” he asked.
"unless you can provide me with the right amount of blood,no" she said
He glanced at the IV bags of blood around her. ”I think you may already be in the best place for that… But I’d gladly give you some of mine if you need more, quicker.” he offered.
"your blood would heal me but I won't take it" she said
”Why not?” he asked. ”If it would heal you, then you need it more than I do. I can always go hunting later.”
" you'll be weak and one of us has to watch our children" she said
”We still have Henry and your father with us. I can handle being a little weak for a night.” he smiled softly at her, holding up his wrist.
She lightly pushed it down
