3 months pass

Alex has healed. She's been going through speech and vocal therapy for the past 2 ½ months. It was a Saturday day and carol had the day off from work. Alex was in the kitchen making lunch when she sliced her hand open

Alex: "fuck"

She was about to grab a rag when she notices something. Her blood was blue

Alex drops the knife and screams. A few seconds later, Carol runs into the kitchen

Carol: "Alex love! What's wrong!?"

Alex looks at her hand

Carol notices Alex's hand is bleeding

Carol: "fuck"

Carol grabs a rag and warps Alex's hand

Alex: "c-carol why"

She coughs

Carol: "take your time"

Alex: "w-why is my blood b-blue"

Carol: "when you had your throat slit and lost a lot of blood there was a 50 50 chance of you waking up. Long story short we gave you some of my blood so you would be able to heal and wake up"

Alex; "why, why didn't you?"

She coughs

Carol: "hey take your time"

She hands Alex a glass of water

Alex: "thanks"

She takes a  sip of her water and then continues to talk

Alex: "why didn't you tell me?"

Carol: "I don't know, I should have. I'm sorry"

She pulls Alex into a hug

Carol: "I'm sorry I should have told you

Lizzie: "mom is everything okay?"

Carol: "We are fine Lizzie"

Lizzie looks at the rag that is wrapped around Alex's hand which now had blue seeping through it

Lizzie: "mom are you okay?"

Alex: "I'm fine Lizzie, I just cut myself, that's all"

Carol: "I'll get the first aid kit"

She walks off

Lizzie: "are you sure you are okay mom?"

Alex: "I swear I'm fine"

Carol walks back in with the first aid kit

An hour later

Carol walks into the office where alex was working

Carol: "hey love"

She kisses alex's cheek

Alex: "hey"

Carol: "what's wrong?"

Alex: "nothing"

She sighs

Carol: "what are you working on?"

Alex: "something for work or at least I'm trying to"

Carol pulls a chair over and sits next to alex

Carol: "what do you mean you are trying to work on something for work?"

Alex: "i don't know, i can't focus"

Carol: "well what are you trying to do for work?"

Alex: "I'm writing up this report pepper asked me to do. It's stocks of this past month and a half"
