Camilla's P. O. V.

"Epilepsy?!"

Louis grips my hands tighter as the doctor nods his head, "Epilepsy. Seizures can cause increase in heart rate, blood, foaming at the mouth, blackouts, and many other things. "

Louis looks at me and kisses my hands, "So what do we do?"

The doctor sighs, "She will be very sick for these next couple weeks, to months. Until the medicine takes effect. Also, this may effect her ability to bear a child. Having seizures during pregnancy can cause major child birth defects, or death. "

I look at Louis with wide eyes. Louis stands up and shakes the doctors hand, "Thank you. "

The doctor nods, "I'll be in touch. But in the meantime, Camilla, you need to stay in bed and take it easy. "

I nod as Louis walks the doctor out. He comes back after a minute, shutting the door behind him.

He sits down in the chair next to my bed. We just sit there in silence, looking at each other. I bite my lip, "You don't deserve this. I can't do this to you. How am I supposed to be a ruler of France?"

Louis shakes his head, "Stop talking like that. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Right now, we're going to get through this. You're going to rest and get better and we're going to be married. Look, you look tired. You take a nap and I'll go fill in everyone on what's going on, okay?"

I smile and give him a kiss, "I love you."

Louis grins and kisses my nose, "And I love you. Sleep well. I'll be back in a little while. "

Louis leaves the room, closing the door behind him. I pull the covers up to my chin and close my eyes, letting sleep consume me.
