Less than an hour later, Melissa stood in the door way of Chris and Natalie’s room. “The other’s are out, distracting Hailey I bet, she has that appointment tomorrow,…
“Raina…Gabe doesn’t want to die. If that’s what you’re worried about, you can stop fretting.”
~~
Gabe leaned into her touch, his face drawn and covered in sweat.
“How can I not worry about it?” Rai replied.
Melissa smiled and continued. “Just relax sugar.”
“Because he needs you.”
From the doorway came a tired, “I do, Rai.”
~~
Some of the lines of pain lessened, but not all. He was burning hot.
Rai bit her lip. Now she was the busted one.
Melissa sighed. “Gotta get that fever down…”
Gabe walked toward her slowly, kneeling down in front of Rai and taking her hand in both of his, “Rai, you’ve been crying?”
~~
He shivered, unaware.
“You’re supposed to be resting,” Rai replied, avoiding the question.
“I’ll be right back, okay sugar?” said Melissa.
“And you’re supposed to answer me, Rai,” Gabe replied softly, cupping her cheek in his hand.
~~
A tiny nod.
“It was only a few nights,” Rai replied softly.
Melissa disappeared into the bathroom.

Less than an hour later, Melissa stood in the door way of Chris and Natalie’s room. “The other’s are out, distracting Hailey I bet, she has that appointment tomorrow,…
“What else is it, then?” Will asked gently, “I’m his doctor. You can tell me.”
~~
Gabe nodded weakly, coughing.
“He’s suffering, and there’s not a damn thing I can do to make it stop…” said Rai, tears brimming her eyes.
“Here hun,” said Melissa, lifting the spoon from the bowl. “Open up.”
Will handed her his handkerchief, “Hey, you help him.”
~~
Gabe did as he was asked.
“When he lets me,” Rai replied, wiping her eyes.
“Don’t you worry,” said Melissa as she fed Gabe. “I’ve always been here when you needed me, haven’t I?”
“What do you mean?”
~~
Gabe nodded, cringing in pain as the broth began to digest.
“You know how stubborn he is.”
Melissa stroked Gabe’s hair, she was going to need to make a few calls later if the was going to get Gabe through this.
Will nodded, “I also know how much he loves you.”
~~
Even though Gabe got back to eating over the last few days, he seemed to only deteriorate, fever high and abdomen swollen.
“I just, I don’t want him to see me cry,” said Rai. “I don’t want him to feel guilty.”
Melissa stayed by his side. She was extremely worried at this point.
“Doesn’t that make you as stubborn as him?”
~~
Gabe coughed weakly. He hadn’t said anything all day.
“Never said I wasn’t,” said Rai.
Melissa frowned. “You poor thing…”
“Then let him see you…let him see what he’s fighting for.”
~~
He coughed again, and breathed, his voice completely gone: “Rai…”
“His whole arguement against fighting this was he didn’t want me to see him this way, he didn’t want to upset me…”
“Shhhhh,” Melissa soothed
“Are you sure things haven’t…changed, now?”
~~
A small sob escaped him, his shaking, pale hand reaching for something in the thin air.
“I don’t know…”
Melissa stroked his hair. “Shhhhh shhhh.”
