Chapter Five

I hung up collapsing against the wall. Sliding down I pulled my legs up to my chest as tears flowed down my face.

'My poor baby...please be ok.'

I summoned the dragon witch plushie hugging it to my chest.

There was a knock on the door, "Go away!"

The creek of a door made my head shoot up. Remus stood there holding Janus by his upper sleeve, a stern look on his face.

"I don't know what happened today but you two need to talk and make up." He sighed his face softening, "Have you talked to Remy yet?"

That just caused more tears to fall. My hand flew to my mouth trying and failing to cover the sobs that racked my body. Janus closed the door before he and Remus ran over kneeling in front of me.

"Ro what happened?"

"The d-doc-doctors don't know i-if she'll m-make it!"

I hugged the small purple plush tighter as I began to shake.

"I'll be right back Ro, in the meantime you two need to talk about whatever happened."

He pulled out his phone and left. I turned to Janus who was staring at the floor.

"I'm s-sorry, I d-don't know why I sa-said w-what I did hon-honestly. It's l-like I wasn't i-in control of my b-body. I'm s-so sorry."

"It's alright Ro. I'm sorry too I shouldn't have called you the evil twin. By the way Banana conda? Creative, I like it."

A small smile tugged on my face.

"Was Thomas lying?"

He bit his lip looking away before slowly nodding. I stood up and walked into my little angel's room. The red brown curtains were pulled back, bed made and plushie corner organized. I walked across the brown tile flooring sitting on her bed. I set the dragon witch down tracing the grey x stitching design that adores her comforter.

"Roman?"

"I want my baby. I want to hold her and tell her bedtime stories. I want to make cookies together and go visit the dragon witch. I want my little girl back…"

Janus sat next to me running a hand up and down my back.

"I know Ro, I know…"

I buried my head in my hands as more tears cascaded down my cheeks. We sat in silence for a few minutes the only noise being my sniffling.

"How ya feeling Ro?"

"Bittery, jittery, and not very glittery…"

"Well we can't have that now can we gurl?"

My head snapped up to see my husband's smiling face.

"Rem? I thought you were at the hospital?"

"Remus said he'd stay the night so I can take care of you."

He walked over, sat down, and pulled me onto his lap facing him. He brushed hair out of my face before wiping the tears away.

"I want my baby Rem, I want my little girl back…"

"I know RoRo I want her too but we have to wait now."

"What did they say?"

"She passed out from exhaustion and from her heart rate being too high."

"She stopped breathing…" I whispered barley loud enough to be heard.

"She's breathing love...the heart monitor was low but it was beeping."

I nodded burying my head in his chest.

"I'm worried Rem���"

"I am too Ro but there's nothing we can do...how about we go get some food? You haven't eaten yet."

"I'm not hungry…"

"Ro you need to eat."

"It hurts Remy and I don't want to force food down."

He cupped my face with one hand.

"I know Ro, I know it hurts and you don't want to but I don't want to lose you...please for me. Even if it's something small."

"He's right Roman, you need to eat before it gets worse…"

I nodded tightening my grip around Remy not moving.

He chuckled a little, "Do you want me to carry you down there."

I nod, "Please."

Janus laughed as he got up walking out of Crystal's bedroom. Remy stood up and I wrapped my legs around his waist laying my head on his shoulder. We walked downstairs and Remy sat down at the table.

"Sugar you need to turn around now."
