feeling, honey?” Melody asked in a soft tone.
    “I’m just in a bit of pain, I’ll be fine,” was Samantha’s soft response.
    “Good, good.  That’s very good.  I’ll have a nurse bring you something for the pain,” Dr. Lévesque stated.
    “And we’ll make sure that Dr. Gardener takes real good care of you when we’re off the clock.  Is that alright dear?”  Melody asked, touching Samantha’s head gently.
    Samantha nodded slowly, opening her eyes a bit, “yea, that’s alright, auntie.”
    “Good, we have to finish our rounds, but we’ll have a nurse bring you something for the pain and take your vitals.  Do you need anything else?”  Dr. Lévesque asked.
    “Just some water, please,” Samantha asked softly.
    “Of course, I’ll be sure a nurse brings you some water.  Rest up, your aunt and I will be back to check on you.” With that He and Melody left the room.
    Samantha moved onto her side to look at Alex, trying to stay comfortable and she closed her eyes once more, “so…anger management, huh?”
    Alex nodded and sat down, “there’s probably more than that, but I didn’t want mom and dad to catch me eavesdropping.”
    Samantha nodded and took a deep breath, “Where’s Riley…?”
    “He went outside to have a cigarette a few minutes before you woke up.  He’s a nervous wreck.  He’s probably blown through a whole pack by now.”
    “I wish he would quit already…”
    Alex nodded, “me too, Runt.  Me too.”  She almost said more, but Samantha began to snore lightly.  She sighed softly and took her phone out of her pocket.  After the third round of her favorite word game Riley walked into the room, closing the door behind him as quietly as he could manage.
    “How is she doing?”  Riley asked in a whisper.
    “She woke up for a few minutes while you were gone.  A nurse is supposed to come bring her some more meds for her pain and some water and take her vitals.  But she hasn’t come yet.”  Alex replied, stuffing her phone back into her pocket.
    “That’s good…”  Riley breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing in the chair across from Alex.
    Samantha took a deep breath and turned her head slightly.  She smiled softly, “hey…”
    Riley quickly jumped up and made his way over to her, kneeling beside the hospital bed, “how are you feeling, sweetheart?”  He asked as he gently brushed some strands of hair out of her face.  He gently caressed her cheek as he smiled at her lovingly.
    “I’ve been better…but you reek of smoke…” She pulled her face away from his hand a little, “I wish you would quit…” Samantha sighed, exasperated.
    Alex quickly ducked out of the room and closed the door behind her.  She was going to give them some privacy as she went to go find the nurse who was supposed to administer Samantha’s medications.
    Riley sighed softly, “Everyone keeps saying that…”
    “Well, then maybe you should…” Samantha suggested, holding Riley’s hand loosely.
    Riley frowned and kissed Samantha’s head, “one day.  But today is definitely not that day.”
    Samantha laughed a little, “Fine, but promise me something.  One day you’ll quit.”
    “Alright babe.”  Riley replied dejectedly.
    “No, promise me.  Don’t just say alright.”  Samantha demanded as she crossed her arms across her chest.
    “I promise you, I’ll quit one day.  I love you.”  He finally agreed, reaching out and brushing her hair out of her face
    “I love you too,” Samantha responded smiling softly.  Riley smiled back and pressed his lips gently against hers.
     

 
    CHAPTER 5
     
    A couple of weeks passed and Samantha was beginning to feel much better.  Her back was almost completely healed, and Dr. Lévesque told her that if she refrained from phasing, she would be completely healed by the next full moon, which was in ten days.  She got up in the morning like she normally did, looking at the calendar on her wall.  It was Alex’s and
