After what was supposedly 30 minutes but felt like 4 hours Dr. Bradley finally walked into the room. Morticia and Gomez hoped that this would be good news. He took a seat on the seat with wheels and pushed himself over to Wednesday and her parents.
"Hello, good afternoon" he greeted them "sorry for taking so long to get around to you guys but I am pretty busy I hope you guys understand that. I am pleased to say that the results came out as we hoped" he said flipping through her file. "Okay, so you have B-cells, which are similar to T-cells, but B-cells are believed to be better than T-cells. We have not yet received the bone marrow biopsy results yet. I'm sorry but getting those results usually takes one to two weeks," he added closing the file.
"So no matter what the diagnosis is it will be B-cell right?" Morticia asked
It's most likely, we will make sure to contact you immediately when we get the results back" he says standing up "are you feeling alright to head back now or do you need to stay the night" he asks her
Getting up, she mumbles aloud "I'm fine" as she feels the soreness in her back as she stands up
"One of the symptoms of the bone marrow biopsy was fever so if you are ever feeling sick make sure to tell an adult right away okay?" He gets up and opens the door for them "Well you guys are ready to head out thank you guys for staying a bit longer than we planned"
"Yeah no problem, anything for our little raven" Gomez said
As Morticia led them out of the room, she said, "Thank you sincerely, bye."

As Morticia and Gomez watched Wednesday in the car, they noticed that she was in pain. Was she getting a fever the doctor had warned them about or was it the small headache she had been having in the hospital?
In a concerned voice, Morticia asked her, "Dear, are you alright? You seem to be in pain right now."
"I'm fine mother" she hissed annoyed
"Are you sure my little raven? Is it your head?" He asked softly.
She didn't say a word, she just nodded with hesitation
"Do you want me to cancel all your classes tomorrow?" Morticia asked
"No, I'll be fine" she said leaning her head against the window closing her eyes
"Are you sure little raven? Because you'll be having to walk, do work for six hours and not get to rest" Gomez asked
"Okay I guess you can cancel all my classes for tomorrow" Wednesday mumbled her eyes still closed her lower back still hurting
____________________________________________________
"Wednesday... Wednesday... it's time to get up we're back at Nevermore"
She was awakened by her mother who was rubbing her arm. Apparently she had fallen asleep in the car and though she had taken a decent short nap her head still hurt and now her throat hurts as well.
She walked out of the car and her lower back was still giving her trouble.
"Do you perhaps want us to stay the night again dear just to make sure you're alright?" Morticia asked in a worried voice
"Ugh fine just don't bother me, okay?" Wednesday says walking in with her parents
"Of course dear I'll just go inform Larissa about are presence" Morticia said walking away with Gomez
Finally peace and quiet she thought to herself as she entered her dorm barely able to walk because of how tired she was. She stumbled over to her bed laying down not bothering to cross her arms in her normal dead like position. Everything was quiet and she could finally feel herself starting to fall asleep. Well she thought everything was fine.
"Huh, Wednesday you're back!" Enid said setting her stuff down "are you feeling okay? You look a bit sicker than before" she said concern filling her eyes
"I was fine until you came in" her throat was hurting like shit, it felt like a glass shard was stuck in between her throat. One cough and she knew she was done for.
"Do you need me to get someone for you? Maybe some water or your pajamas?" Enid asked looking for her pajamas
As a result of her cough, she interrupted her own sentence. "Ca-" as she said. Her throat hurts like shit now. It felt like she had swallowed a dorito the wrong way.
"Do you want me to get you some water?" Enid asked quickly
She quickly nodded needing the water immediately as she sat up her head pounding from how fast she sat up.
"Here" she quickly picked up the water from her hands, chumming it down enough to soothe her throat.
She set the water bottle down on the floor. She lay down immediately due to excruciating head pain. She turned over on her side pulling the blankets over herself not even bothering to change into some comfy pajamas.
"Don't you want to change into your pj's before you fall asleep?" Enid asks
"Nu uh" she muttered before falling asleep
____________________________________________________
She woke up covered in sweat her throat aching and her head pounding. She did not feel well. She had chills and once she opened her mouth she couldn't stop coughing. All of this coughing seemed to wake Enid up.
"Wednesday are you alright?" she said squinting her eyes as she turned on her bedside lamp tiredly.
Wednesday couldn't answer. Her coughing wouldn't stop and at this point she was sure she couldn't walk or move well either due to the pain in her back. She coughed so much that she didn't even notice that Enid had left the room.
"Wednesday, dear I need you to breathe out your nose" Morticia said quickly as she walked over to her anxiously
Despite her best efforts, she couldn't breathe out her nose. Her mother helped her sit up and then handed her a bottle of water from earlier. She drank tiny sips making sure she didn't choke.
"Are you okay now?" Morticia rubbed her back soothingly
She nodded slowly her head still hurting.
"How about we go to me and your father's room so we can let Enid get some rest" Morticia said helping Wednesday up as she grabbed some pajamas for her. "Thank you for getting me Enid, sleep well" Morticia said leaving with Wednesday.
Every step she took hurt her and her mother obviously noticed this.
"Do you want to get on my back?" Morticia asked her quietly since they were in the hallway
She nodded in agreement, not wanting to speak fearing she might have another cough attack. Her mother bent down enough for Wednesday to climb on her back. Once they arrived at the dormitory, she had fallen asleep on her back. Gomez grabbed her then set her down on the bed and got her painkillers ready for her.
She was given painkillers and pajamas to sleep in instead of the uncomfortable clothes she had on when they woke her up. Wednesday slept in the extra bed they had in the corner that Gomez didn't fit in because it was too small for him.
After Wednesday fell asleep, both parents stayed up for a while checking the temperature of their daughter after she fell asleep. She definitely had that fever they had been warned about.
