Moments Captured / Billie Eilish/ One Chicago Mashup Fanfiction

Chapter - 22

The second that the couple got upstairs the first thing they saw was an empty room other than Hank walking out of his office with his lips in a thin line without saying a word Natalie slowly walked into his office ." where's everyone else" Billie asked furrowing her eyebrows.  " Undercover case"  As they both nodded.  Billie was told to go talk to Trudy.

 " As if for uh Sebastian" He said slowly word for word carefully  as if words could kill.  " Oh my god, " as all she said before her legs went weak. "Natalie". The concerned fatherly figure quickly helped her up and guided her to the couch in his office. While Trudy had to talk to Billie separately. 

"" Natalie, kid there's really no easy way in saying this but we did find him except he , Sabastian well, he was not alive

 Natalie broke down for what seemed like the billionth time for the hour . As she felt like somebody was choking her as if she is suffocating. "Hank, I don't want this anymore. I don't want this I- I don't want to be alive here or anywhere I want to DIE".  " Natalie Camile  Voight" He said sternly, would Camile want you to say that? Those seven words are what made her bury her face in her hands as he sat next to her and hugged her.

  " No, NO DAD  SHE - SHE DIED BECAUSE OF ME. IF IT WASN"T FOR ME SHE'D BE HERE. WITH JUSTIN AND OLIVE AND DANIEL AND US. BUT NO I - I- I- K-KILLED HER." She sobbed clenching onto his shirt  with her head buried into her. He held her head and looked at her " Natalie no hell no , you didn't kill her, her chemo wasn't working as we thought  it would. Your mother passed away from Chemo. don't ever say that, you know that."

 At that second nothing matters to her anymore. Life, love, people that made her happy, people that she kept sacred, nothing. absolutely  nothing matters anymore.  She felt like if she died she wouldn't care. 

*FLASHBACKS*

"Mama Cami" The seven  year old  grinned as she saw her walk inside the house as Hank was reading a book to three of his treasures : Justin, Erin and Natalie.  He kissed the top of her head as he walked towards to greet his wife who returned from the hopsital for a  annual cancer test checkup.  " Hi loves" she smiled sadly but enough happiness to make the three kids buy it. Although Hank knew that she was faking it and was trying to stay strong for them. He knew something was wrong but just couldn't say what. 

He kept silent about it till dinner, bath time, and till it was bed time for all three  Alright, it's time for bed three of you she smiled as she red all three bedtime stories that they chose and then kissed them all and tucked them all to bed as she headed to the bathroom. " love you have to tell me what's going on?" Hank said said concerned. " hank, I-i- I have c-cancer". She cried.

As he couldn't believe what he just heard, and while he thought that everything literally everything in his life was going perfect it just trembles down like a landslide. " Cami, we're going to be fine. Just fine". He said hugging her tightly as thought of what he's going to do.

" Erin, Justin, Natalie I have cancer." she said in a shaky breath. " what's cancer" Justin and Natalie said at the same time making them look at each other and yell " jinx" and laugh while Erin looked down biting her lip not wanting to cry because she's 16 and she knows what it means. " Erin, she's going to be okay" the fatherly figure said softly. 

" mhh  hmh " she hummed agreeingly looking up so that fat water drops doesn't fall on her face as she fidgeted with her  fingers which both adults knew that was a habit of hers when she's scared and anxious. " i-i have to um work on uh school w-work" she made an excuse as she hurried upstairs and shut the door and only quiets sniffs and cries were heard. The two adults sighed as they helped the two children understand. 

"cancer makes you feel very sick and you need medicine to feel better  and the medicine is called chemotherapy." Camille smiled sadly but staying strong for her. " why is sissy erie so sad them, it's just a boo boo right ma? Justin the youngest giggled as the adults played along and agreed. " Are you okay Nat?" Hank asked to the seven year old who looked quite out of it

. "My bestie in skool said that her daddy had the boo boo cancer and that she never saw her again" She bawled as the shocked adults looked at one another and once again comforted the child lying through them that nothing like it was ever going to happen.
