She was fourteen when the area karate regionals came around. Never mind the fact that it was early December, and her mid-terms were coming up, and she was still trying to come to terms with her new breast size. Like an idiot she said she'd be there, layered on sports bras, and trotted to the gym.

The fights were simple exhibitions, points awarded on execution and touches rather than beating an opponent into the ground. In her third bout Aya was getting tired, and her opponent, a human from two towns over she'd met in the ring before, was as well. That was probably why things went wrong.

Three points in he flubbed a spin kick and his ankle buckled, making the attacking foot lash in an unexpected direction. She didn't get a block up in time and he tagged her hard on the ribs, taking them both to the floor. The referee blew his whistle, hard, halting all conversation as paramedics came forward to access injuries.

One cracked ankle on his side.

Two cracked ribs on hers.

They both managed to facepalm at the same time when it was announced they were unfit to continue. "Next year," they mouthed at each other around the pained wincing as they were bandaged.

"I've got you." Braig said quietly, holding her in the shower. He couldn't stand there as long as Dilan could, but he could sit in the tub and prop her head up on his shoulder. Dilan added the stuff to the shower, then went to stalk the doctor.

"I know, babe." Braig said, hugging her gently, "I know. Doctor said you should start getting better, soon."

Dilan blinked, nodded, and went back into the bedroom...then returned with a giant folder of medical information on Aya...everything he'd tested her on since meeting her. "Here you go."

"No, sweetheart, you're not allowed to kill anyone for lungs." He said softly, stroking her hair.

"Okay. I can do that. Can I have the file back when you're done with it?"

"Hot steam will help break up the gunk in your lungs." Braig said, "Smell that? It's what we use for Dilan, too."

"That's fine." Dilan said, "Uh huh. And I can also use the labs at work."

"Okay." Braig said, standing to help keep her balanced. He was worried! Very worried.

"I'm not sure." Dilan said, shaking his head, "She's definitely human...but some of her reactions...I don't want to offer a theory until I have more to work on. I do think she'll be getting better, though."

Braig wrapped a towel around her shoulders so that she wouldn't catch a chill while she retched, and stroked her hair back. He was fluttering a bit, but doing his best to keep it down.

"Okay." Dilan said, heading into the kitchen...to find Elcy already working on a meal. "Lots of protein, mom." "I heard, dear."

He then went back out to the doctor and started explaining what he'd figured out, and what he thought.

"I have no idea." Braig admitted, "Until the doctor calls us? Do you think you can handle it? If you want to go back to sleep you can, I'll keep holding you." I'll hold you forever...just get better!

"Of course!" Elcy called back, happy to have something to do. Yinsi, meanwhile, was taking the opportunity to change the sheets and blankets from the ones that Aya had sweated all over.

Dilan was more than happy to talk until he was out of things to say.

"Good." Braig said, "Lets get you back into the water, then." He took the towel off and helped her back into the tub.

"Yes, please." Dilan said, "I'd like that."

"Yeah, baby, you did." Braig admitted, "Well, we had an IV in you for a bit to help rehydrate you. The doctor is here, he's going to check up on you...make sure everything is going well."

"Of course I can." Dilan said, giving the doctor a weird look, "I'm taking medical classes too." Nope. Biologist. His interest was too wide.

"I know you didn't." he stroked her hair again, "We'll take care of you every time you get sick...we'll take care of you forever."

"Oh...right." Dilan listed his classes, "Thank you for letting me listen."

"Always and forever and ever." Braig said, quietly, "Don't you worry about me getting married and ceasing to take care of you. I will always take care of you."

"Well, yeah." Dilan said, a little blankly, "She's my monkey." he headed up the stairs, "Hey! Time to listen to monkey lungs!"

"Because I love you." Braig said quietly, "Because I love you very, very much."

"I get to listen first, but I'm not the doctor. More like a glorified EMT."
