MOONLIGHT 《H.S》

THIRTY THREE

the shots had a terrible effect on me. I woke up and immediately felt something off. I went to the bathroom to wash up and use the toilet but as soon as I walked out of the room, the different temperature hit me like a ton of bricks, making me nauseated.

I felt like I needed to throw up, which was what ended up happening. however, whatever was in my stomach, came up crimson red like I swallowed my own blood.

it was alarming at that so i wiped my mouth just as Harry came in with widened eyes.

"harry..." i breathed out, trying to shut the lid.

"what the hell did you throw up? is that blood?" I nodded carefully as I wiped my mouth.

"fucking hell, we need to call you in to the emergency ward or something." he kneeled down to grab my chin, "Open."

i opened my mouth and waited for him to inspect. not that he could see anything.

sighing he pulled me up, "Come on, I'll call someone. sit on the couch, I'll check on Athena, I'm not having any reactions so maybe it's a Writhing thing."

I sat down, I felt very weak, like something wasn't sitting right with me.

harry came back with Athena on his hip, "Sloane and Eli are both asleep. she was crying when I came in, I checked her and her nose is bleeding. Sloane looks fine and Eli is just tired."

he wiped under Athena's nose and went to grab a cloth.

I handed him his phone, and he called us both in, then someone to watch Eli and Sloane, someone passed by with a golf cart to pick us up.

"how much for one of these?" harry asked the driver, "But a six seat one."

"you can apply for one depending on your status. you can buy one but they're not cheap, I suggest you getting the application."

harry nodded beside me, "We'll see for one of these. it's hard to get everyone around by foot."

I just nodded and held Athena closer.

"you feeling okay?" he whispered to me, "you tell me if you're gonna pass out."

I again, nodded.

we made a stop on the emergency room or whatever, and Harry helped me up. it was pretty empty, we were the only ones there. it was cold and I was just in shorts and a tank top.

"hey, so I heard you're having a reaction to the shots?" the lady at the front desk asked.

harry nodded, "Yeah, they're both Writhings, they're the only ones having a reaction."

"it's common, they usually have a weird reaction to some shots, a few hours here should be fine."

"what about the blood?" Harry was frantic. he should be, I was terrified I was going to throw up my stomach.

"the first few hours its blood, they're expelling the viruses away. Writhings rarely get sick or hurt, but the shots are really sickening for the first few hours. it's all normal. you dont have to worry. we'll keep them both here for the next five hours, or so."

Harry nodded, "and the costs?"

"everyone on the ship gets free healthcare. allegora is entirely free in that department."

harry nodded, "I have other kids at home. I'll bring them back here when they wake up."

the lady nodded, "okay, I promise they'll be okay."

harry nodded, completely trusting the stranger. he kissed my forehead and Athena's and went off.

we were lead to a room, the lady told us to wait there.

luckily harry brought in Athena's stuff so she wouldn't have to be in a spoiled diaper.

I changed her out of her diaper and dressed her in fresher clothes.

she sleepily set her head on my chest and fell asleep again.

I pat her back while I waited, i didn't feel as sick as before but still a whole lot of nausea was going around.

when a doctor came in, he told us he was going to give me and Athena a pill that should stop the effects of the vaccination while not making us vulnerable to the disease.

we both the medication, athena taking a liquid one.

I was scared we were putting too many chemicals inside us, but we were Writhings, only a few things could actually kill us.

harry came back after a few hours, I was laying on the bed with Athena beside me, a bucket of vomit the nurse went to dump out every few minutes and a glass of cold water.

"hey." he set down Sloane's bag next to Athena's, "You look terrible."

"thanks, you're flattering." I smiled.

Eli and Sloane were both still sleepy, so harry set them down to nap on the couch or the carrier.

"is she throwing up like you?" harry asked about Athena.

"no, not nearly as much, she threw up once or twice but shes been doing well."

he nodded and sat down, "Hey I found out about some museums in Allegora. Theres some good precious stones we can steal."

"Harry, it's a year away. and I thought we were done with that."

he shook his head, "When we land, theres no way we can get money. working here wont help us get money for a house and a car."

"we can figure it out as we go, harry. I really dont want to start it off bad. we moved for a reason."

he pinched his bottom lip, "Yeah. I know."

"are you mad at me?" I rolled my eyes slightly.

he shook his head, eyes in a genuine frown, "I'm not, im just trying to think. i need to fix a whole bunch of shit and I dont have the time to right now."

I understood where he was coming from, harry always wanted to fix everything at the same time, and that's not how it worked, patience was something Harry really needed to work on that area.

it was only a few hours later that I felt completely normal again, and Athena was doing much, much better.

we were discharged to go home and rest, they said we shouldn't have a reaction anymore and that we could go on with our normal lives.

I noticed there were a lot of people our age here, maybe we could have a few friends. friends are good.

we spent the whole day at the hospital, so harry got to work on something for us to eat while the girls were having tummy time on the carpet, while eli and I played with some dolls.

I was looking forward for a normal day tomorrow. I heard eli was to start school in three days so we had those few days to enjoy him until he got busy. harry and I started work only in the next week, so we'd have time to find someone to watch the girls.

or maybe it was better if we took them with us, I'm not sure what we had planned out, but I'm sure they'll be fine.

it was a very tiring day, so we decided to put the kids to bed earlier than usual so we could go to sleep.

"you're doing okay? no throwing up blood?" harry asked as I brushed my teeth.

i spat out the foam, "nope, no blood. feeling fine. just exhausted. we just cant seem to catch a break."

he kissed my head, above my ear, "I'm glad you're okay, sweetheart."

"I'm glad too, but I'm exhausted so I'm going to bed." I finished washing my toothbrush, I stood on my tiptoes to kiss him and dipped to the bedroom.

Hey! finally. I was struggling immensely these past few months, in sorry I've abandoned you, I cant promise anything but I'll try to update more often.

sorry for taking so long, lots of love <3
