Sophie coughed loudly in her bed. Fitz set another tray of vials on the edge of the bed, trying to make Sophie swallow all of them.
The door suddenly burped open. Rosalyn walked in, her eyes on Sophie.
"Rosalyn?" Sophie asked. "Why are you here?"
"'Can't I visit my little sister anytime I want?"
Fitz stayed out of their conversation.
"So, I've heard that you're pregnant, is that true?" Rosalyn started their conversation with a question. "After you told me that pretty boy wasn't your boyfriend?"
Sophie sighed.
The rest of their conversation was toture, to be honest.
*****
Fitz sat in the corner when Sophie and Rosalyn reached to the end of their conversation.
"I have good news and bad news." Rosalyn whispered in his ear.
"Sorry?" Fitz questioned.
"Good news is that the illness she's getting now was in the Forbidden Cities before. Bad news is that the ingredients of the medicine only grows in the Human Cities."
"How did you know?" Fitz asked.
"I got that illness when I was eleven." Rosalyn sighed. "I'll try to bring some of the ingredients when I go back to the Forbidden Cities."
"Wait- ' Fitz called, but she already leapt away.
*****
Sophie gulped down the last elixir, and Fitz stuffed a piece of her favorite sweet into her mouth. Sophie focused on the sweet taste of the snickerdoodle candy. "Better?" Fitz asked.
"Probably." Sophie said, but with the piece of candy in her mouth, it sounded like somekind of alien language.
"Do you still remember the time we spent in Elwin's office?"
Sophie blushed. She still remember the first time Fitz fed her the tray of elixirs and his fingers accidentally brushed her lips. Sophie tried to hide the blush.
Fitz pulled her closer, pressing his lips against hers, "I love you, Soph."
"Love you too, Chandelier Head."
"Ugh... Biana!"
