Unsurprised by Omega's teleportation from the hallway into Blue's room, Gwen simply let him go, trusting him to let her sleep. Otherwise, she'd knock him on his butt herself--she might not have any MORO with her right now, but in his frazzled and exhausted state, a healthy dose of ketamine and rohypnol would probably do the trick.
Coming over to Owen, Gwen let herself lean on his shoulder for only a moment, then straightened and gave him a tired little smile. "We wait," she told him. "The surgery went fine, given the circumstances." Gwen had to chuckle, although there was just a bit of manic edge to her voice. "I just--hope I never have to go through that again, not ever. I was terrified the entire time." She shuddered, pushing the nerves aside and trying to unscramble her tired brain.
"But it's done. The fetus...died shortly after extraction, so I doubt very seriously it would have made it all the way to term." Her brow furrowed. "Granted, I can't say that would have happened if InGen hadn't dosed her with all of that crap, because apparently it didn't occur to any of their medtechs to check if MORO crosses the placental barrier. Which, for the record, it does."
Gwen shook her head. "But I don't believe there will be any lasting physical damage. Just the surgery scar, which will fade with time. She'll still be able to conceive, as far as I can tell, but her heats might be...odd, after this. I'll just have to keep a close eye on her for a while.
"As for the rest..." Gwen pressed fingers to her eyes, blinking them tiredly open again. "She's suffering from a lot of mental trauma too, Owen. When I told her, she broke down into tears again, even though I kept insisting that it wasn't her fault, she'd done nothing wrong. I couldn't even finish talking to her about it, all I could do was hold her while she cried." Tears shimmered again in Gwen's own dark eyes, remembering that difficult moment.
"I think her emotional recovery is going to be the hardest part," she continued, sniffling softly. "Nothing like this has ever happened to any hybrid ever, and even in humans, this sort of therapy is basically hit-and-miss. It's probably best to let Omega stay close to her--he doesn't have to worry about being objective. He just loves her, and that's really all she needs to know right now."
