Chapter Nine

She woke on her own a few hours later and scrambled from the bed. Pollux still slept there, but JSN wasn’t in sight. As she looked around for him, there was a chime at the door. Assuming it wouldn’t be JSN asking permission to enter, she hesitantly approached. It took her a moment to figure out how to open the door without using the biometric scanner on the side. After pressing the button, the door unlocked to reveal Carrie, and she smiled in relief. “Have you heard anything about Britta?”

Carrie nodded. “Jason asked me to get you. Britta should wake up at any moment, and he doesn’t want her to wake up with strangers. I’m going to stay with Pollux, and if he wakes up before you guys return, I’ll take him to mine and Davis’s quarters to visit Penny and her puppies. Is that all right?”

Gwen nodded, hurrying past Carrie as the other woman entered the quarters. “That’s fine. Thank you.” She didn’t need to ask for directions on how to get back to the medical center, having memorized the route earlier despite her exhaustion. Perhaps even a mother’s instinct led her, but however she found it, she was there in less than a minute.

The door was open, and she rushed inside to find JSN, OWN, and NKI standing around Britta’s bed. It was obvious her daughter hadn’t quite awakened yet, and she moved quickly to JSN’s side, curving her arm around his waist for support without thought. She leaned against him for a moment as she looked at the healer. “How is she?”

“She’s doing fine. I minimized the amount of cybernetic material I used for the graft to the bare minimum, so she might need a day or two to rest and heal the rest of the way. I chose not to treat some of the minor burns, because I didn’t think she’d want to have odd spots of blue here and there. She should be waking up any time, since the sedative has worn off by now.”

“Will she be in pain?” As she asked the question, Gwen bent forward to take her daughter’s hand. Her baby looked so small in the bed, though her skin was no longer the ashen gray it had been. It was more like its normal creamy brown.

“She might have mild discomfort from the spots where we didn’t do a graft, but she’s on medication that should provide adequate pain relief. I’d like to keep her here overnight, but she should be fine to leave the medical center by tomorrow.”

“How soon until she can travel?”

JSN stiffened. “You’re leaving?”

Gwen nodded. “I have to get back to the enclave and discover what happened.”

“Will you be returning to the base afterward?”

She looked at him when she heard the distress in his tone, squeezing his hand. “I had assumed you would come back with me to the enclave, but yes, I would like to come back to the cyborg base and try our experiments as soon as the situation is resolved.
