((Lots of re-use value to this one.))
As Wesley was carted off into the E.R. for fresh blood cleaning and stitching up, Fred was pulled aside to have her wounds looked at as well.
"Did the dog bite you as well?" the nurse asked.
"No I cut myself on the glass... I need to case the dog off and the vase didn't work so I broke the emergency glass.." She looked down at her bloody hands and her still bleeding arm. Oh she thought distantly just before she felt the full pain of it. Her hand, arm, and feet stung horribly. She gritted her teeth.
"How about we get those wounds cleaned and stitched up?" The nurse lead her over to a bed and then started her work of removing the blood and glass that covered her feet and arm.
Fred was a good patient as they cleaned and disinfected her wounds. She didn't whine at the pain. Once the doctor came in and gave her her stitches she was given a pair of slippers and released.
Fred walked to the payphone and with her good hand dialed Wesley's number. "This is Fred, Sam listen, Wes and I are at the ER. We were attacked by a wild dog" she strained her voice there hoping Sam would get it. "Wesley's got shoulder wounds and I think he hit his head or something else, because he was talking to himself. I have a lot of paper work to fill out now, if there are any updates I'll call again." Fred hung up and sat down in the waiting room picking up the pile of admissions papers she would have to fill out.

"You must be Mrs. Wyndam-Pryce." A doctor walked up to her. "Your husband is going to be fine. We gave him a blood transfusion and stitched up the wounds. Right now we are running a blood test for rabies. I'm afraid he is going to have to stay overnight. Just in case he starts showing any signs. He's resting right now but feel free to go and see him whenever you're ready." The doctor smiled at her and walked down the hall.
Wesley opened his eyes. He glanced around the white room and sighed. "Can't seem to avoid the hospital can I." He said to himself. He closed his eyes again and listened to the noise of the buzz machines. Whatever was happening earlier seemed to have vanished.

"I'd like that very much doctor." Fred smiled at him and rushed off towards Wesley's room. She was hopeful what ever issues he had had earlier were just a result of blood loss, yet she felt some shadow of doubt in her mind that that was true. Pushing those thoughts out of her head she hobbled towards Wesley's room, she couldn't move to fast with her feet like they were, she almost had to have a wheel chair. Thankfully the cuts were all relatively superficial and she would be running at full speed again within a week.
When she finally got to his door she smiled at the nurse who was coming out. "Is this Wesley's room, umm Wyndam-Pryce."
"Well that depends on who you are miss, normal visiting hours are over." The nurse replied.
"Misses." She corrected the Nurse. "Misses Wyndam-Pryce, I'm his wife, the doctor said I could see him."
"Oh of course," The nurse smiled at her and entered the room. "Mr. Pryce. You have a visitor."
Fred entired behind the nurse. "Hi honey!" she greeted Wesley with a look that she hoped read: 'Just play along.'

He looked at Fred with a shocked expression on his face. In fact it looked as if he was blushing slightly.
"Hi... Sweetheart." He smiled lightly. Though he felt embarrassed. Fred was pretending to be his wife... Or was it not pretending? What world did he wake up in? His imaginary life? Though he thought he would have avoided the hospital.

"Oh thank goodness you are alright honey!" Fred runs, well limps fast into Wesley's arms, grateful that he was playing along and not getting her kicked out of the hospital. "I was so worried about you!" What else should a wife do? she thought oh right! She gave Wes a quick peck on the lips. She motioned to the nurse and whispered to Wesley, "ask her to leave?"

Wesley was distracted but the kiss it took a few minutes to register what she had said. "Uh... Right. Could we have some time alone?" Yes he was defiantly in his made up reality.

"Of course" The nurse said, "don't do anything too strenuous now, he's still weak." She winked then left.
Fred waved goodbye to the nurse and when she was sure she was gone, got off Wesley. "Sorry about that, I had to tell them something so they would keep me updated, and with your accent I just can't pull off sister. Your a real good sport." She smiled, happy that he had played along so well.

Wesley put his hand to his head as the nurse made the comment that instantly made his brain go to the gutter. "Well I would think I would be good at faking it." He lowered his hand and looked at her.
I rehearsed it enough times in my head. He finished off the rest of the sentence in his head.
"Oh and don't apologize really I don't mind." He smiled.
I just wish it was real. He thought longingly.
"I guess I didn't wake up in my weird fantasy world." He said. Then he thought if he didn't, then what exactly had that demon done? He wasn't hearing voices anymore but he still felt like something was happening. He felt fractured in some way.

"What?" Fred looked at him confused. She couldn't have possible heard that right.

"I'm sorry. I'm talking to myself in a healthy matter and completely forgetting the fact I probably shouldn't be telling you those things." He said sincerely.
Why the hell did I just say all that out loud? He thought again. I know I am much better at controlling my impulses than that. He was starting to scare himself. He looked worried for a moment.
"Maybe you shouldn't listen to me right now. It must be the drugs." He tried to explain it away. Or at least he hoped it worked. Though he knew he sounded too sane for it to be the drugs.
Maybe I should start talking randomly again.
"Or maybe you should just tell the truth."
Oh no not the voices again.
He choose to just ignore it.

"Wes you don't... you sound a little loopy, and I do believe that's my bit so... are you sure your alright?" she sat down on the side of his bed and looked him in the eyes as if she could so how see what was affecting him. It was silly but she thought maybe she could.

"I'm sorry..." He said he felt terrible suddenly. "I realize I'm not acting like myself." He closed his eyes again. "No I'm not myself at all. Somethings wrong and I think I'm a little scared. I haven't felt that way in along time." He opened his eyes and looked at Fred. "I don't want to hurt you. But I'm afraid that's what I am going to do."

"Wesley, your a good man, your not going to hurt me." She smiled up at him, so very trusting "Sam will get the message I left soon then I can tell her what that demon was and if it did somethin' to ya well then we'll fix up in a jippy so just don't worry." she took his hand in her uninjured one and squeezed it reassuringly.

"I don't think I have enough time." He looked at her. "Whatever is happening is happening fast. I feel it... It's like a poison."

"No! don't talk like that Wes," She squeezed his hand tighter trying to ground him to her, "The doctors said your fine. See the little lines on the machine, no flashing lights no nothing, your fine." She put on a smile that was suppose to be reassuring. "It's just the pain killers talking." she hoped to whatever was listening that she was right.
