The Beginning Of Treatment Sessions

Chapter 85

Tamatoa's POV

The next day...

   Maui's about to start Chemo treatments. It's a highly efficient cancer treatment that islanders have only recently stumbled upon. I really hope it helps Maui get better in the long run, though he's going to be very sick for awhile. Those treatments come with a lot of awful side effects, scary ones at that like hair loss and constant vomiting. Speaking of Maui, I can feel him staring into my soul. I slowly turn around and gaze deeply in his as well. A whimper escapes from him and it breaks my heart. I immediately take his hands in mine and hold them up to my heart. "Maui, you are the strongest man and being I've ever known. I know that this is terrifying and something neither of us imagined we'd ever have to face, especially given our immortality, but you will be okay. We will overcome this together." A tear slips down my cheek. "I'm not going anywhere." 

   I close my eyes and I feel one of Maui's giant thumbs wipe the tear away. "Please don't cry Tama darling. You're too handsome to shed tears." A sad laugh slips out. "I'm just so worried about you Maui. I want this treatment to work." The doctor then walks in and ruins our moment. She immediately begins the process of setting up the Chemo treatment. It works it's way into Maui's system. When it's completely in his system, a blood curling scream from Maui echos of the walls of the room. I look at the doctor in anger. "YOU'RE HURTING HIM!" Her lips press themselves into a firm line. "I'm not hurting him on purpose. This is what happens when chemo works it's way into one's body system. It cause a lot of pain, but it is the best way to ensure that tumors never come back." 

   I sigh out of frustration. "You're right, I'm sorry. I'm just scared for Maui. He's normally so tough and I've never seen him so weak." She nods. "I know you're scared and worried for Maui, but I'm pretty certain that after a few weeks of treatment, you'll slowly see the old Maui come back." I give her a sullen smile before she leaves the room, giving Maui and I some alone time. I lie down in bed beside him despite the doctor warning me not to. My baby needs me and I need him. He buries his head in my chest and sobs. I try to be strong but I end up breaking myself. I wish I could take the pain away from him. I wish it were me lying in this bed weak and sick instead of him. I deserve it but he doesn't.
