Chapter 16
A week or so later, the Lawson were enjoying their weekend relaxing at home. Eddie was playing with the kids outside, Liv was doing her homework with Lizzie and Rachel was doing the general chores around the house.
Rachel hadn't been herself, after a mass flare up of her illness during the week, she was only just beginning to feel better. Rachel had sat down for a moment drinking her coffee as a pain rushed through her body, she closed her eyes after being used to the pain she thought nothing of it.
"You okay mum?" Liv asked coming in to refill her drink.
"Yeah fine darling" she said obviously in pain.
"Your not" she said sitting next to her.
Rachel sighed "I'm in a lot of pain Liv"
"Is there nothing they can do?" Liv asked indicating the doctors.
Rachel looked at her daughter and thought for a moment "I don't know" she said truthfully.
"What do you mean you don't know?"
Rachel sighed "I meant to go for a scan and I didn't have time with work so I just cancelled it"
"But mum, what if it's more serious"
"But nothing Liv, this isn't your concern" Rachel said getting up and moving the washing to the dryer as best she could.
Liv sighed and went over to her "let me do it" she said picking the washing up out the machine.
"Blimey do I need a camera?" Rachel managed a smile as she held her stomach with her right arm.
Liv put the clothes in the dryer, putting it on and then standing up looking at Rachel. "You need to go for that scan"
"But what if they find something"
"That's generally the idea so they can treat it?" Liv said.
"Treat what?" Eddie asked coming in behind Liv.
Rachel sighed. "Nothing it's okay"
"Now I know your lying" Eddie asked worriedly.
"Mum was supposed to go for a scan, she cancelled it because of work and now she's in pain"
"I'm fine Liv" Rachel sighed walking out the kitchen and up stairs.
"Liv watch the kids" Eddie said as she nodded going out to them. Eddie went upstairs and into their bedroom where Rachel was sat on the bed. "Hey you" he said making his presence known and sat on the bed next to her.
Rachel wiped the stream of tears from her face and sniffed.
"Oh come here" he said wrapping his arms around her gently. Rachel leant on him as her body shook as the sobs descended. Eddie rocked her and let her cry.
After a few minutes Rachel sat up as Eddie let go. "Sorry"
"Don't be silly, talk to me" he said grabbing hold her hand and squeezing it tightly.
Rachel looked up at him "I just don't know, with everything my health has come last"
"But it shouldn't of darling"
"Liv's right" Rachel sighed never thinking she would say that "I need to go for a scan, the pains getting worse, and I think they missed something when Charlotte was born, I'm convinced"
"And you know whatever it is we're in it together okay"
Rachel nodded "what did I do to deserve you?"
Eddie smiled "nothing, more like what did I do to deserve you?"
Rachel smiled and leant her head on him. Eddie put an arm around her.
"I'll phone the doctors for an urgent scan and have a lie down okay"
Eddie smiled and pecked her head. "I love you"
"I love you too"
Please review, they mean a lot xx
