Oswald POV

I wake with a jolt, my eyes flying open. I look around the dark room, trying to figure out what woke me. I hear Ed groan beside me and I roll over.

"You okay?" I say quietly. He's pressing on his temples like he has a migraine.

"My head is killing me. God... it's the worst headache of my life..." He says quietly in pain.

"Do you need to go to the hospital?" I ask.

"Yeah...yes, I should probably go see a doctor..." Ed says quietly.
We get dressed in t-shirts and sweats and go to the hospital.

"Hello, Mr Nygma-Cobblepot. It says here you've been experiencing severe headaches. Have you had any falls or any head injuries in the past week?" Dr Elizabeth Rosslyn asks Ed.

"No. I haven't had any injuries. The headaches have actually been going on for a while, but some ibuprofen always stopped it. Tonight they were so bad I couldn't hide it anymore." Ed says.

"No head injuries, no history of migraines...I'd like to do an MRI if that's okay with you. Just to check for tumors."

"Tumors?" I say in shock.

"It could just be severe migraines. If that's the case, he'll be prescribed a migraine medicine. The MRI is simply a precautionary measure to rule out the possibility of cancer." She explains.

An hour later, me and Ed are sitting in a little private room awaiting his results.

Please be okay, Edward. I can't lose you... I think to myself as I look at him sadly.

12 agonizing minutes later, the doctor walks in with a sad look on her face.

Oh no no no...

"We looked at the MRI results and it's not good. You have stage 4 brain cancer. There is a large tumor on the right hemisphere of your brain, most likely a Glioblastoma. At this stage, we can try Chemotherapy and radiation therapy, but...no matter what we do, you have three months to live." Dr Rosslyn says sadly.

No... Edward....

I feel a tear fall down my cheek as the shock dissipates. I feel the world stop spinning as I realize she's just told me that Edward Nygma is dying.

"There's nothing you can do?! Dr Rosslyn, there has to be something they can--"

"Ozzie." He cuts me off, clasping my shoulder.  I turn and look at him. He looks so... broken.

Dr Rosslyn's phone rings, breaking the tension.

"I have to go. It's my mom again. I'm sorry, I'll be right back. I just have to take this." She says sweetly, walking out of the room.

"Ozzie, you need to move on." Ed says suddenly.

"Eddie, no. I'm not going anywhere. I love you."

"I'm dying, Ozzie. There's nothing that's going to change that."

"Ed, you...it's like you've just...given up. What happened?"

"What happened?" He scoffs "I had a headache so horrible I had to go to the hospital. I had to have an MRI and then I got diagnosed with cancer. You were standing right here! Don't freaking ask me what happened!" Ed snaps.
