A normal life

I can't lose you a second time

Note: the part the was changed that I'm talking about in the note was that originally Anna was with Emma to help her out and was by Emma's side when Emma had the result of the pregnancy test.

Note (from ao3): Soooo
This chapter is more chill? than the previous one. If I can say this like that

We meet some new characters in that chapter

Also! I changed a little part in last chapter. It's the part where emma learn about her pregnancy. It's not much, but I think it suits the story better

Enjoy!

Emma had been waiting for hours now to get some news from the doctors. Isabella had to get back home and she brought Revna and Snowball with her so only Emma and Ray had stayed at the hospital.

The ginger-haired girl had her head layed on the black-haired boy's shoulder as he had an arm wrapped around hers. Emma was staring at the floor as one of her hand was slowly rubbing her belly. Ray was about to ask her if she was feeling okay when the door to the room opened. Emma got up as soon as the doctor was in front of them, Ray following her soon after.

« How is he? »

Emma did not miss the sad look the doctor gave them.

« He is doing fine for now. He is resting if you want to see him. »

« Do you know what happened? Is he sick? »

Emma looked at Ray before looking back at the doctor.

« While doing some tests, we did discover the cause of his collapsing. First, we want to know, you're is brother, right? »

« Yeah, I am. Why do you ask? »

« We want to know if anyone in your family ever had any sort of sickness. »

Ray crossed his arms as he think. Emma saw the way he was picking at the skin of his arm even if his hand was hidden inside his sleeve.

« He's my adoptive brother, but my father died of sickness. »

« Do you, by any chance, know if anyone in his family had any sort of sickness? »

« Yeah. His father died of sickness too. I don't know for his mother though. »

Emma saw how Ray's face became as white as a sheet.

« He... he's sick... isn't he? »

« We found some traces of some hereditary sickness. We think it might've been the cause. »

« Can you... can you save him? »

Ray and the doctor looked at the young woman.

« Yes. We found a cure agaisnt this sickness over the years. We just don't know how long it will take for him to recover. His recovery will depend on him. »

« It varies from a patient to an other, right? »

The doctor nodded.

« Yes. You can go see him if you want. He woke up an hour ago. »

« Thank you, sir. »

The doctor gave them a smile before leaving. Ray saw Emma take a deep breath. He took her hand in his and they enter the room together.

Norman was sitting on the bed and was looking at them. He had his usual soft smile on his face. All of those machines attached to him made Ray's breath stop for a moment. The memories of that day came back to his mind. He did not want to relive it.
