"Molls?" Arthur asked quietly and Molly turned to look at him from the counter.
"What's wrond darling?" she rpelied quietly. Tears streaming down her face form the onions.
"Where did you put the nausea relief medication?"
"In the cabinet." She rpelied as she felt his forehead.
"You alright? You look bad." She sighed and he smiled wanly.
"M'alright." He said quietly, rubbing his nose in concentration. He took in a deep breath then.
"Molly…..why do I still have blood in mouth? They said it would stop." She dried her hands slowly, contemplating hewr answer.
"Hmphm…..i don't know honey…..we'll have to ask..you have an appointment today."
"Molly?"
"Mhmmp?"
"I can't."
"Can't what?"
"do the appointment…….i just can't do it today." She smiled and nodded.
"I'll call in." he nodded and kissed her cheek, starting to wlak away but she placed he rhand on his shoulder. His skin was more worn then ever before. His eyes watery and light. His hair receeding…but red. Molly treasure him more now than ever. Just like she ahd when he was attacked.
"Arthur one bad day doesn't give you leave not to kiss me."
"Molly i…I'm tired." Molly retreated. Never….in her whole married life…had molly ever heard Arthur refuse her…he'd never ever been….distant.
"Molly…its just……when you left me at the healer last time we talked more about what happened when I was attacked and…..the cancer isn't horrible…but something else is in me…something different and…..we talked and did more tests while you were gone and……I have something muggles call…HIV……from the bite. Form the poison and other factors…Molly I don't want to give it to you."
"what do you mean?"
"Its transmitted."
"Then we'll be careful."
"No…you can die from it."
"Arthur Weasley…if something happens to you…or myself…..we're going together. Go lay down…I'll be up. I'm not going to not kiss you…or be with you because of something so stupid. I love you…and if that means….my health is involved too…that's just too bad. Arthur I'm not afraid." She touched his arm…then chest and he sighed, trying to push her away in a manner that said he loved her unconditionally.
"Molly no."
"Don't tell me not to touch you…….you married me….you made vows to me. This is the worse part…and I'm not gonna give up on you. Get upstairs. Undo the bed. I haven't laid next to you for so long..and I want to." Arthur stared into her eyes.
"Molly…"
"You didn't love me if your going to torture me like this….i can't stay apart form you. We're one…..i already can tell myself I have the same thing. Because i don't care. I'd go through anything with you. As long as I always know I can flal back on your kisses…and, 'I love you's,….and our love……..not just love…..love…our real moments of ecstasy that you aren't taking from me."
