Drew Capulet-Webster

“Yes Doctor,” Megan replied with a half smirk.  She knew Drew wouldn’t risk her health for anything, no matter how much she might try to persuade him however there seemed little chance she wouldn’t be well enough.  “Alright I will have a look.  I can’t imagine it will be hard to find something suitable for him although I don’t know how easy Tower Bridge models will be found.  I’ll get him something though.”  With that she began to yawn,  complaining with a sigh, “The damn medication.”

“I’ll be perfectly safe to fly,” she mumbled loud enough that he would hear.  “I don’t know how long the train ride is but I don’t really intend to find out but I am looking forward to lots of shopping and scones.  Do you want me to bring you anything special back?  Or something for Dominique?”

[Text] I’m very glad to hear it.

[Text] So far, so good. I’ll let you know if there’s anything that I need, but for now I’d say focusing on your family is best.

[Text] How is Dominique after it all? I can’t imagine this whole ordeal was easy.

[Text] Yeah, I can’t say right now is the best time for things in the city. Don’t worry, I’ll speak to him in French, and eventually he’ll feel more comfortable as time goes by. The more people he feels comfortable around, the better.

“Actually I think the first challenge is for me to be allowed to fly.  Thomas and I are off to London in about a month and I don’t fancy having to make the journey by train.  I guess I should make an appointment with you for a few days before so you can give me a fit to fly certificate just in case.”

[Text] Of course, it’s only natural that he would be. Just tell me which language you would prefer that I speak to him in, and I’ll use that language for him. I’d rather make him as comfortable as possible when meeting me. 

[Text] It must be difficult enough being in a new place and getting acclimated. He shouldn’t have to feel stress meeting new people if they know how to make that meeting a little easier for him.

Megan lay back on the pillows with a chuckle, “Well this is certainly an interesting change of topic from what I was expecting.  It makes a change to how tight is my chest feeling and what my blood oxygen level is.”   She lifted her glass and took a sip of water sighing, “Somehow I doubt this incident is going to encourage them to lift my alcohol ban.” 

Megan listened to Drew confirm what she had already suspected.  It was clear she was going to have to make some kind of change, probably several changes to her approach to things if she was going to avoid ending up in hospital again and particularly having surgery which appeared to become more likely each time she was taken in.  “I’ll speak to Jared next time I have a scene arranged with him and we can focus more on that.  See if I can sink into subspace as quickly with that as I can with some other activities.”  She wiggled her eyebrows at him with a light laugh as she lay back against the pillows again.  “Maybe if I try to practise some yoga in bed while I’m here they will let me go home quicker, what do you think?”

Megan laughed softly at Drew’s teasing though her smile fell a little.  “I was thinking of trying yoga again.  I’m sure Ophelia still does some and there are plenty of programmes on youtube.”  Biting her lip she paused for a moment before asking, “As you rightly said we both love giving up control so I wonder if doing some more intense bondage scenes might help.  Do you think it would?  Having no choice because you can’t move, it seems like the ultimate way to relax and get deeper into subspace.”  She enjoyed bondage but it had always been part of a sexual scene in the end for her but now she couldn’t help think the act of that itself might help her.

Megan nodded in agreement quickly with Drew’s remark about Freddie.  She had had plenty of time to go through the whole ‘what if’ scenarios over and over and if he hadn’t occurred she didn’t know what she would have done.   “Yeah, I’m here now and taking residence for a few days.”  Nodding at the question she  ran her hand over her face, closing her eyes for a moment, “It seems the most likely.  It’s not as if I’ve had a particularly quiet time of it recently.  There’s been so much change.”  She scoffed lightly, “I had been considering asking if I could go back to my apartment but with this on top of everything else even I know I need to stay at the Estate for a while longer for my own safety.”

[Text] That’s alright. He can open up whenever he’s ready. I don’t expect him to think of me as a best friend right off the bat. My English and my French are fairly good, you can thank my previous jobs for that. Work for foreign diplomats, you kind of have to learn a thing or two so you can communicate with other security teams around the world.

Megan laughed bitterly at his teasing about resting, “At least if you were telling me to rest I could do it at home and not stuck in here.”  It was heart warming to see the glow around Drew as he spoke about Dom and Cade.  She would be lying if she didn’t say there was some jealousy at seeing Drew get everything where she felt like she had nothing right now but she was also delighted for him and knew he deserved all the happiness.  With a slight sigh she started her explanation again, missing out the parts that she knew would make him cross with her.  “I had been a bit tired for a few days but I went out to dinner with a few friends and as I left my chest started to get really tight and I couldn’t catch my breath.  Thankfully Freddie found me and called an ambulance.  My blood pressure was too high and that was putting a huge strain on my heart. Dr Lorenzo, my cardiologist said I don’t need surgery which is a huge relief but they are going to change my medication a bit to try and control my blood pressure better.

Megan looked up from her tablet as she heard the knock and her smile lit up as she saw it was Drew.  “It must be nice to be so popular,” she laughed as she heard his story.  “Sadly the doctors are saying I won’t get out until at least Tuesday so you had a bit of time.”  With a shrug she waved a hand vaguely over her face where the nasal cannula showed she was still receiving oxygen, “Apparently my blood oxygen levels are off and so they still won’t remove this.  At least I’m no longer dehydrated and they removed the IV this morning but I have been well warned that I rest or they will have to put it back in.  How are you all?”

[Text] Then I’ll gladly provide at least a small break. I really can’t wait to meet him.
