Future
The next day
Clare P.O.V
I fixed up the pillows on the couch to make sure the place looked all organised for when Charlese arrives. I stepped into the hallway and looked into the living room. I looked at the black leather couch and made sure the pillows looked straight. I walked over to the coffee table beside the couch and made sure that all the magazines were straight. After I made sure everything was in order I walked into the kitchen and started making coffee. Knock knock I took a deep breath and readied myself for what was going to happen. I walked to the door trying to calm my nerves. I opened the door and saw Charlese standing there, she looked tired and sad.
"Charlese, hi, come in." I said stepping away from the door so she could come in. She entered and I shut the door behind us. I motioned for her to follow me into the living room. We sat down on the couch. Charlese looked at some photos on the coffee table.
"What did you want to tell me about Levi?" I asked her, she turned to face me and swallowed hard
"A few months ago we noticed Levi was losing a lot of weight, he would bruise really easily and he would get bloody noses and he would complain about his knees and arms were sore so we took him to the doctor and the doctor confirmed that he has acute lymphoblastic leukaemia." She explained. Leukaemia? Levi has leukaemia? I gasped
"I'm so sorry." I said, she nodded
"They started him with chemotherapy but now he needs a bone marrow transplant but we since we're not his birth parents we can't get tested to see if either of us match so we need you and Levi's biological father to get tested." She explained,
"Ofcourse I'll get tested but there's a problem with Levi's biological father." I said, I saw Charlese get this broken look on her face
"What's the problem?" She asked,
"I don't know where Oliver is and he doesn't know of Levi's existence and he probably wouldn't want to help." I explained, I watched as Charlese processed what I had just said.
"Ok then, we'll just have you do the test and maybe some of your relatives and then we'll go from there." She said, I nodded
"Ok sure, when do you want me to get tested?" I asked,
"I'll make an appointment and then I'll call you to tell you when but for now just try and tell some of your relatives please." She said, I nodded, she stood up
"That's all I have to say, see you later." She said before leaving, I sat there on my couch. Levi's really sick and if I'm not a match and Oliver is it will be my entire fault for not pressing charges against him. I sighed. Poor Levi.
Fitz P.O.V
I opened my door and found Clare standing there, she looked really upset.
"Hey Clare, what's wrong?" I asked her, she bit her bottom lip and looked at the ground, I moved aside and let her come in. We went and sat down on my couch.
"Levi has leukemia." She said, I furrowed my eyebrows
"Levi, as in your son?" I asked her, she nodded
"He's not my son, he has leukemia and I have to get tested to see if I'm a match because he's getting really sick." She explained, I nodded
"What happens if you're not a match?" I asked,
"We'd have to find Oliver and get him to get a test, we'd also have to ask some of my relatives and Oliver's family, but since I only have my dad who lives in New York and doesn't acknowledge my existence and I don't know who or where Oliver's family is Levi's chances of survival will be zero." She said, I pulled her into a hug.
"It will be ok." I said soothingly,
"No it's not, if I'm not a match Levi will die and he'll never get a chance to have a life." Clare said against my chest,
"If you're not a match then I will go to the ends of the earth to help you find Oliver." I said, Clare pulled out of the hug and looked at me
"You would?" She asked, I nodded
"I'd do anything for you." I said, she smiled softly
"You're a good friend." She said, I nodded, I know this is childish but I kind of got a sad that she said friend, but she's married and the kid she gave up for adoption is really sick I can't be selfish and just think of what I want. I kissed Clare on the top of her head, it brought back memories of when we were little kids and Clare's parents would fight, I would do exactly what I'm doing now, she's always feel better when I did this, I smiled at those memories. It feels weird to think that everything's changed so much, especially with Owen being gone. Sometimes I think it would be great to get to lie those years over again. Owen would be alive and well, and then Bianca, Owen, Clare and I would be the four unstoppable best friends.
