Sky blue eyes fluttered open when a brilliant light streamed in through the window.

A moan escaped from petal soft lips as their owner sat up, holding the wet rag to her forehead before it fell off.

Serenity scanned the room with her eyes, trying to catch a glimpse of her spouse.

"Saniya! Saniya! Saniya! Saniya!"

After a few more calls for her love, she let out a disappointed sigh and leaned against her bed.

"Saniya ..."

"Did you call for me, my light?" cooed a soothing voice from the corner of the room.

Serenity shot her head up, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "You're back! I can't believe that you're back!" she cried.

Saniya made her way over to her lover with a cup of tea. Pressing her cheek against hers, she whispered in her ear with a smile, "Did you really think Id go down that easily?"

The petite blonde cupped her lovers cheeks within her hands, stroking them with her thumbs. "You truly are alive. I almost lost faith in you with all the whispers of your death going around here, " she breathed before a cough wretched itself from her throat.

Saniya brought the tea up to her lips and took a swig. Bringing her and Serenity's lips together, she eased the substance down her loves throat through her lips.

Serenity's eyes fluttered close as their kiss deepened, her hands wounding themselves into dark locks.

The kiss lasted for a good few minutes before the dark-haired warrior drew herself away with a smirk on her face.

"Is that enough proof that I'm still very much alive?" she hummed as her wife nodded. Her face soon turned serious, her hands coming up to cup Serenity's face.

"But you've obviously haven't been taking care of yourself Why did you allow yourself to fall ill? "

The petite blonde stared up at her spouse with watering eyes. "Because I couldn't stand the thought of you not walking on this planet anymore I just wanted you back and for us to be able to -, " she stopped midsentence to cough several times.

Saniya repeated her earlier action with the tea, embracing the ill woman after their second kiss. "You shouldn't have allowed yourself to fall ill for my sake. You know that it'll break me not being able to take care of you, " she chastised.

"I know. But I wasn't thinking straight ... I was mourning about your possible demise. I couldn't stand the thought of being a widow so early into our marriage, Serenity sniffled into her shoulder, fingers interlaced with the bluenette's.

The warrior allowed herself to melt. "You shouldn't worry about such a thing, my light. You know that I'll fight through Hell itself in order to bring myself back to you. Always have and always will fight to come back to you, " she declared, kissing her forehead.

Serenity opened her mouth after their embrace was broken, "Sani ..." A finger silenced her protests.

"Ssh, my love ... Save your strength; you need it, " cooed Saniya as she reached for her tea.

"But -."

"Ssh, you need to rest, especially after what you went through for the past few months, " said the Starlight before taking another swig of tea and bringing their lips together once more.

Serenity allowed herself to visibly relax within her lover's arms, relishing in the feel of her lips against hers after so many months without them.

Pulling away, the dark-haired beauty reached out to caress her loves face when a sound fluttered to her ears. She sprung to her feet and fluttered back over to where her cloak sat.

"Where are you going?" asked Serenity, watching her love be replaced with the warrior in a flash of light before she pulled on her cloak.

"We have company, " explained Saniya, tugging her hood on to cover her face.

The young blonde opened her mouth to question her lover about what she meant when Maeve's voice sounded from down below them.

"Sere! I'm back! I got you some remedies from Aine and Rayen to help you with your illness!"

Serenity's eyes almost bulged out of her head after hearing that, her eyes fluttering over to her husband's as she hastened her departure.

"Will I see you again soon?" she whispered low enough for just Saniya to hear.

Saniya, now ready to depart, made her way over to her wife to cup her face within her gloved hands once more. "I don't know ..." she muttered, caressing her cheeks with her thumbs, "But I'll find you and we'll spend our time together, OK?"

"Yes ..."

A passionate kiss was shared between the two lovers as they poured their feelings into it.

"SERENITY! ARE YOU OK?!" bellowed Maeve, sounding closer.

Saniya pulled away from the kiss, trailing a thumb across Serenity's lips. "I love you, Light of My Life."

"I love you too, My Star to My Moon."

The dark-haired beauty moved away and rushed over to the window, blowing Serenity a kiss before leaping out.

Maeve entered the room just seconds after the bluenette leapt out of the window. "Sere, how are you feeling? Are you ok?" she bombarded her with questions as she fussed over her twin.

"I'm ok. Just a bit dizzy. I probably need some more rest, " Serenity stated, drinking the rest of the tea that Saniya left her.

Maeve hollered as she slammed the window close, "Why do you have the window open when you're sick then? Are you trying to catch your death?"

The other twin shrugged and muttered, "Sorry, I wasn't thinking."

"No worries. These remedies should work for you, " reassured the seamstress, handing her a cup of odd smelling liquid that she downed with a cringe.

I wish to see you soon Saniya Even if it's just in my dreams she thought to herself, her mind drifting peacefully with thoughts of Saniya.
