Fetish / Larys Strong

40. Wonder Woman

2 years later

Blyana was wonder woman. Larys had deduced that a long time ago. She spent the past four nighfs unable to fall asleep because her organs felt like they were slowly killing her.

Her hands kneaded her at her ribs larys saw the protrusion of her spine as leaned forward nauseous. When she couldnt sleep larys couldnt sleep.

She asked if he wanted her to stay in another room whenever she was having a flair up but he said no every time.

It was three hours into sleep when she woke coughing her throat scratchy like sand paper. She got up moving to her drawed wardrobe it had a little lock on it to make sure the kids didnt get into it when they were playing and take something they shouldnt. Larys had the little key put on a charm bracelet had a welder make little letters for each of their three children to add to it. She wore it with her always.

Larys hand would slip from her waist as she got up a pained breath on her lips. Fummble with the key on her wrist in the dark before drinking back a few tonics and praying that they worked this time. She would snuggle back into her husband and try to hold back the pain because she knew there was only so much one man could take. But he held her and told her its okay to cry, I got you. He felt little tears on his chest.

"I was doing so good... I dont know what happened..." blyanas chest heaved with every breath.

"Just a set back you get through it you always do." Larys reminded her.

"I dont want any more set backs I want to be normal." Blyana countered. "What if one day our children start showing symptoms? I cant tell them it gets better. I cant promise they will find someone as perfect as you that loves me despite all my faults and flaws." Blyana whimpered.

"You have no faults. No flaws." Larys corrected.

"Then why do I feel so broken?"

"I wish I could you better. I wish I could take this pain from you-"

"I wouldnt want you to feel like this." Blyana countered softly.

"I'm sorry, Bly." Larys coed. 

Repeat the cycle of tossing and turning, hot then freezing, insides churning, mind spiraling before the sun ever thought about coming up over the horizon. 

She was sweaty and clammy, had a migraine every time she woke up. Drowned herself in the bath to wake up and then took her drugs and out on a smile. No one was the wiser. Except for larys. He knew if his wife was faking it.

She got the kids ready dressed and fed and sent Teo off to lessons with his cousins, he was only four but he wanted to be like the big kids so he ran off to lessons for about five minutes before he remembered he didnt like lessons and went to play with Luke instead. Bellamy had just turned two and him and Lucia were born right after the other, barely a year apart so Bellamy quickly became Blyana's little helper. He already had a thick mop of black hair on his head. Lucia the baby of the family spilled her food all over herself and Blyana changed her again. Lucia laughed and laughed like it was the funniest thing in the world.

Blyana never lost her temper and never got to take a nap. Her children didnt the pain she was in constantly these days because she didnt want them to worry.

Larys knew Blyana was wonder woman.
