College Is Like A Chronic Migraine [Murder Drones Human College AU]

Meet The Mom

As Uzi sat with Cyn in her dorm, the young girl bombarded her with questions about her relationship with N that went beyond typical curiosity. Uzi couldn't help but feel a bit weirded out by the intensity of Cyn's inquiries, but she brushed it off and played along, answering as best she could.

"Why do you want to know all this, Cyn?" Uzi finally asked, her curiosity piqued.

Cyn's eyes sparkled with excitement as she leaned forward, eager to share her thoughts. "Well, I've always wanted to be an aunt," she confessed with a shy smile. "And since N is my big brother, that would make you my sister-in-law, right? So, I want to know everything about you!"

Uzi couldn't help but chuckle at the unexpected revelation. "Well, that's... an interesting aspiration, Cyn," she remarked, trying to wrap her head around the idea. "But being an aunt is a big responsibility, you know. You have to be ready to spoil the kids rotten and teach them all sorts of cool stuff, like cuss words."

Cyn nodded enthusiastically, her imagination running wild with visions of future family gatherings and fun-filled adventures. "I'm totally ready for that! And I know you and N would make awesome parents, so I can't wait to be an aunt someday!"

But then, the implication of Cyn's words suddenly sank in, and Uzi's playful demeanor faltered. The thought of having kids with N finally seemed to hit her like a ton of bricks, and she stumbled over her words as she tried to reassure Cyn that it was too early to be thinking about such things.

"Cyn, sweetie, it's... it's really nice that you think that way, but... but N and I haven't really talked about... um, about that stuff," Uzi stammered, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "I mean, we're still young and... and there's so much we want to do before we even think about... about starting a family."

Cyn frowned slightly, sensing the shift in Uzi's mood. "Oh, sorry, Uzi. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I just think you and N are really great together, and I want you to be happy."

Uzi smiled warmly at Cyn, touched by her genuine concern. "Hey, it's okay, kiddo. You're just looking out for us, and that's really sweet of you. But let's not worry about all that right now, okay? We've got plenty of time to figure things out."

Before Uzi could say anything else, her phone rang, breaking the tense silence of the room. It was the local hospital calling, and her heart sank as she listened to the voice on the other end of the line.

"Oh my god, it's the hospital," Uzi whispered, her voice trembling with fear. "Cyn, I... I need to take this. Can you... can you wait here for a minute?"

Cyn nodded, her eyes wide with concern. "Of course, Uzi. I'll be right here."

With a shaky breath, Uzi answered the call, her mind racing with worry and uncertainty. As she listened to the nurse's words, her worst fears were realized, and she felt a wave of panic wash over her. N was in a coma, and the doctors didn't know when or if he would wake up. Panic threatened to overwhelm her, but she pushed it aside, focusing on what needed to be done.

"G-give me just a moment, please," Uzi stammered into the phone, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'll... I'll be there as soon as I can."

Gathering her composure, Uzi reassured Cyn as best she could, promising to keep her updated on N's condition. Then, with a heavy heart, she hurriedly gathered her things and rushed out the door, her thoughts consumed by the man she loved and the uncertain road that lay ahead.

As N awoke in the void, his senses overwhelmed by the emptiness that surrounded him, he couldn't help but feel a profound sense of confusion and disorientation. Was he dead? Had something gone horribly wrong during the fishing trip with Khan? Panic gnawed at the edges of his consciousness as he struggled to make sense of his surroundings.
