She's My Cure ~Aarmau AU~ UNDER EDITING

~Letter~

Aaron's POV

*Play Song*

"Your surgery was very successful Mr. Jackson..." I smile, scanning over his case file.

"C'mon Dr. Lycan, after everything you've done for me and my family, you get to call me Patrick."

"Haha okay, Patrick....where is Dorothy anyway?" I ask, referring to his wife.

Patrick has been my patient for a few years, and have worked with him on a tremor he had.

"She went to go pick the kids up from school...." He responds, laying in his hospital bed, scanning my expression.

"Is your wife okay?"

I shoot my head up from the file, knitting my eyebrows in confusion.

I never told him anything about Aphmau.

"How did you....."

"Its that look, I've looked in the mirror and seen that look a lot in the past...so.....is your wife okay?" He asks, smiling reassuringly.

"Well technically....she isn't my wife yet......" I say, gulping.

"Why? Too scared to ask?"

"No.....just too scared that she is going to end up in this hospital again......." I admit, sighing.

"....wait....what does that have to do with that?"

I exhale, looking at him, shaking my head slowly.

"You are going to wish I didn't tell you......" I scoff, looking over my heartbreaking life.

"Try me....." He challenges.

"The day we were supposed to get married, wedding planned and everything, she was attacked by one of her patients, and then she died........."

Patrick's expression transfers from a smile to a shocked one, unable to say anything.

"But then some miracle happened and she came back to life, and suffered months of recovery....."

Patrick's expression is still blank.

"So.....adding up with the rest of life's crap.........both of us are just too scared to bring it up again......"

Then something surprising happens....

Patrick smiles, even chuckles.

I give him a confused look.

"Dr. Lycan......let me tell you something you must already know......life is short....too short......we have no time to wait...."

".....no time to complain....."

"....no time to be scared....."

"So stop being scared.......and marry the love of your life before Irene is done waiting...."

*******************************************

"Aaron where are we going?" Aphmau smiles, groping at the air in front of her as I guide her, blindfolded.

"You'll see....."I assure, looking straight ahead over her head, seeing my destination in sight.

"Okay.....you can take it off now...." I say, stepping back, smiling.

She rips the bandanna off, gasping while smiling, observing the carefully laid out scene before her.

"Hi Mama...." Angel waves with a Casablanca in hand, biting the petals afterward.

She was wearing her flower girl dress, sitting in a huge patch of pre-grown Casablancas, that I had spent the past few days planting.

"Hi baby...." Aphmau manages, her voice breaking, cupping her mouth and nose in her hands.

In the big patch of flowers, was the few words I have said only twice before......

And one of those times, was to the person, standing in front of me.

Aphmau turns around to look back to me, the smile so wide across her face, a tear of joy descending down her cheek, shaking her head slowly in disbelief.

"What is this?" She asks, her smile not disappearing. 

"This, all this, is you...." I explain, smiling at her.

At her beauty....

At her personality.....

At her.......

"Heh.....what?" She says, still smiling.

I walk up close to her, tilting her chin up and pressing my lips against her, holding the kiss for a good minute.

And when we release, I say this.....

"I want to marry you......."

"Aaron.....I'm not ready....."

"Aph......I know you are uneasy....but life is short.....too short to not be ready......"

She stays silent, just listening.

".....Getting married.....standing at that alter....willl be scary and nerve-wracking and all of the above......."

"But......I love you.....and I know...I want to spend the rest of my "short" life with you......"

A tear descends down her cheek.

"Cause....." I start, but she cuts me off by pushing her index finger against my lips, stopping me mid-sentence.

"Shhhh......save it for the vows...."

If I could smile any wider, I did.

Sadly, our perfect moment is interrupted by the sound of the doorbell.

I sigh, jogging towards the main door to find a man in a business t-shirt standing there with a file on hand.

"Hello, sir....how can I help you?" I ask politely, eager to get back to Aph.

"Ah yes, you can take this, thaaaank you....." He hands me the file, me taking it in hand.

"You've been served...." He leaves, and before I knew it, he was gone.

I open the file, scanning the page of its words.

Shock spreads across my face at its contents, my eyes widening.

"Hey Hunny, what is it?" Aph asks, coming up next to me.

I turn to her, thankfully able to say something, but I was unthankful, for what I was to say.

"The Garnet's are charging us with 1st-degree murder of ............Lilith....."

Have a nice day my crystals!
