Mon Chéri

I sigh as I lay awake ontop of Morticia. I look over to the clock on the wall and its 6.34am. Its been 3 months since the vision that scared me to death and I haven't had any more since. Instead I have just had bad nightmares that make me scared to sleep.

Tish's alarm buzzes at 6.35 and I shut my eyes when I feel her stir. I feel her kiss my head gently and she moves the blanket down so it is just above my ass. Her nails trail up and down my back making me snuggle closer to her.

"I know your awake Mon cheri" she whispers to me "We have to get up". I groan and I shake my head "No..i'm comfy and warm". I feel her hands moving to my waist and she frowns "Love..have you not been eating again". I shake my head "No..I have been. Ask Xavier or Larissa. If I'm not eating with you I'm with them..you believe me don't you?".

She nods and kisses me "Of course I do...its just..you've lost alot of weight". I sit up on her and I nod "I know..my..dresses have been baggier a..and my pants have gotten looser". "Have you been exercising more Amour?" She asks.

I smirk "amour? I like that name. And no I havent". Tish smiles back at me and pulls my hair up into a ponytail "oh do you now?". She takes a hair tie off her wrist and ties my hair up. I go to kiss morticia only to be cut off by a cough.

I grab a tissue from the bedside table as I keep coughing. I put a hand on my chest as I start finding it hard to breathe. I look at morticia with fear in my eyes as I keep coughing. "Mon cheri..love?" She says sitting up and putting a hand on my back.

"I cant..BREATHE" I pant out. I watch as Morticia reaches for her phone and she calls an ambulance. She texts larissa and a few minutes later the door flies open. "Whats wrong? Whats going on?" She asks as she walks into our room.

Tish points to a shirt on the floor and Larissa passes her it. She puts it on me before leaning me on her. "She can't breathe. I've called an ambulance. Can you go and get Raven from her room and would you be able to take care of her until we get..whatever this is sorted?" Morticia asks and Larissa nods.

An hour later I'm laid on my side on a hospital bed with an oxygen mask on me whilst test after test is done on me. Tish sits holding my hand as she kisses it gently "We are going to find out whats making you ill Amour". I nod and I rub my eyes.

The doctor walks in with a sad look on her face. I sigh as I look at her "What is it?". "We..ran some tests. Nyx you have Stage 2 lung cancer. Im so sorry" She tells me. My heart drops as I feel Tish putting her head on my hand. I keep staring at a space as the doctors muffled voice explains the treatment I will go through.

The whole ride home i sit in silence as Tish keeps a hand on my thigh or holding mine at all times. We walk back into nevermore and I stay quiet the whole walk to larissa's office.

We walk in and Raven smiles when she spots us. She wriggles off Larissa's lap and runs over to me. I pick her up and I hug her tight as I begin to sob. Tish pulls me into a hug and takes me over to the sofa. I fall asleep with my head in her lap and Raven asleep in my arms.

Morticia

I look down at Nyx as I run my fingers through her hair. Larissa pours two glasses of wine and comes over to the sofa. She passes me one before sitting on a separate chair. I sip on it slowly as tears fall out of my eyes.

"What happened?" Larissa asks. I sigh and I look up "Nyx started..having these visions...all past memories at the start..then she started having visions of the future..that led her to believe she was going to die.".

I wipe my face as another tear falls down "Shes been ill for the last three months. Coughing up blood..loosing weight and then there was this morning. Shes got cancer Rissa and I think shes terrified her visions are coming true".

Larissa's eyes sadden as I tell her about one of her best friends health "Oh morticia..she will be okay. Shes a strong girl..she will fight for you and your little girl". I hum and I use my other hand to rub Ravens head "I hope she will..".
