The next day, Simon came over to have a look at Stella.
Though a vampire, Simon was a human and vampire doctor and had apparently learnt to control his thirst even around the strong smell and sight of blood.
Simon sighed as he removed Stella's bandages to check her wounds, "How is it that your wounds open up so much?"
Stella shrugged, as Den snapped, "It's because she never listens to anything I say. Just yesterday, she was talking about going out and playing. Playing!"
Stella leaned towards Simon and whispered, as Den continued to ramble on in the background, "Are you sure he isn't a mom in a man's clothes."
Simon chuckled as he said, "The way he behaves around you, I would say he was your mom. Are you sure you don't have a man mom."
Stella laughed out loud at this statement before wincing in pain. Den walked over with a frown on his face as Simon quickly stooped down to check which wound had hurt Stella.
Den said, "Now what is so funny that you are roaring with laughter in your condition?"
Stella mumbled, "Nothing mom." Which obviously Den caught with his heightened hearing and twisted her ear, "So I'm your mom now, huh McCartney?"
"Ow ow ow. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Stella rubbed her ear as Den let go of it.
Simon chuckled and both Stella and Den sharply turned towards him, "You have something to say?" Den asked.
Simon put up his hands in defeat and shook his head. He then began to dress Stella's wounds under Den's watchful gaze.
As he was done, Simon snapped his doctor's case shut and said, "Call me if something happens. Otherwise I'll be here on my regular visit, after a week."
Stella nodded but Den said, "Wait a minute Simon. Could you tell dear McCartney that she is not allowed to walk?"
Simon looked at Stella who placed her hand on top of Simon's and asked, "I am allowed to walk a little to amuse myself, right?"
Seeing that Simon had a dazed look in his eyes, Stella pressed, "Right, Simon?"
Simon muttered, "Of course. You're allowed to walk a little. But remember to not overexert your body."
Stella smiled brightly as her amber eyes turned to crescents, "Of course."
Den's mouth hung open and eyes almost popped out of the sockets as he asked, "What did you say Simon? She is allowed to walk?"
Simon nodded his head, "Yes Stella is allowed to walk. She's allowed to do anything she wishes to."
Stella's smile grew brighter as she looked at Den and said, "Well there you have it Sharp. Now I guess I'll take a nap. And Simon, remember to cover yourself up properly before going out. You'll hurt yourself otherwise."
Simon chuckled as he stood up, "That's a doctor you are talking to."
Stella smiled and settled for a nap as a very confused Den led out Simon.
Once out in the living room, Den turned Simon around sharply by the arm and said, "What do you mean she's allowed to walk? Just an hour ago you told me she wasn't."
Simon seemed confused as he said, "What? Who's allowed to walk?"
Den looked at Simon with a weird expression and said, "Why McCartney of course."
