Chelsea's P.O.V
Josh and I were lying in bed when we heard a crash downstairs. We put our clothes on quickly. I grabbed my knife and we ran downstairs to only get tazed.
We were in a room, Whistler, and Blade were still knocked out. I was still laying on the floor, while Josh was standing. He walked over and sat next to me, and he put my head on his lap and playing with my hair. Whistler started to stir, and he groaned, "Son of a bitch." I notice there were Snipers. Reluctantly, I stood up, with Josh following me.
while we were waiting on Blade to wake up, I was pacing. I have this feeling that we're not going to make it, and I'm hoping to god, that we'll survive. Blade then woke up, and he stood. He started searching for his weapons, but Whistler stopped him, "They took them. All our weapons. Even your sword. Somebody's been keeping tabs on us from inside." Whistler glanced at us, and I looked down from guilt. Whistler, and Blade glared at us, "Look, we feel shitty, okay? We didn't tell them anything." Josh informed them. Whistler rolled his eyes, and looked back at Blade. "Where are we?" Blade asked to no one in particular. "Some kind of chamber deep in their lair." Whistler answered, standing up. Josh took a small step forward, "They smashed up everything- the workshop, all of it." Whistler walked up to Blade and put a hand on his shoulder, "They've been lying to us from day one. The reaper strain didn't evolve... it was designed." Blade stopped and looked at Whistler with disbelief. "What? Did you two know about this?" I shook my head, "I didn't know anything of this." Josh just stood there, and nodded, "I've only seen a few things that looked weird. I'm the one that came here most of the time to grab her medicine." I nodded in agreement. I looked behind me to see Damaskinos and what's left of the blood pack, I growled at him, "I brought you here to see the fruits of our labor, and what's wrong with your friend." He pushed a button, and we saw a bunch of... things that looked like fetus's. "First, your friend," he points at me, "has cancer." my eyes widened and I looked at Josh. "Did you know?" he looked at me and that look was all I needed for an answer. "For years I've struggled to rid our kind of any hereditary weaknesses. And so, recombining DNA... was simply the next logical step. Nomak was the first. A failure. But in time, there will be a new pure race, begotten from my own flesh, immune to silver, soon even sunlight."
I wasn't even paying attention after that. Josh knew. My best friend knew I was sick and he didn't even tell me. Even though I'm mad at him, I grabbed his hand. So I can know that he was still there. A gunshot rang out, then two. And I looked up and felt a burning pain in my side. I fell to the ground, Josh put my head in his lap, and put his hands on my wound. He had tears running down his face, and one of his hands rested on my face. I grabbed the hand that was on my face and looked at his tear stained face. "I love you." Josh was baling, and rested his forehead against mine.
A loud noise filled the air and we turned our heads, to see Reinhardt's body around the room. "Josh, I'm tired." I said weakly. He looked down at me and shook his head, "No, no, no, no, no. Stay awake, baby." My eyes were growing heavier by the second. "Please!" Josh took off his jacket and put it on my side. Blade and Whistler walked over. Blade knelled down and slightly removed the jacket. He looked at Josh and nodded. "Put something over her mouth." Whistler sat by my head, and before he put his hand over my mouth I said something. "My knife, in my boot. You can use it to dig it out." When I said it,it was a mere whisper. Whistler put his hand on my mouth and I soon felt my knife dig into my side. I screamed in pain, and closed my eyes. When I felt the knife slide out, I looked at Blade to see him, putting heat on my knife. He was using Josh's lighter. I knew that they were going to cauterize the wound. He gave me an apologetic look before putting the knife on my wound, again. I screamed louder this time, and was breathing heavily after he took it away, and Whistler took his hand from my mouth. Josh nodded in thanks and picked me up.
"If she sleeps will she...?" Blade shook his head, "She'll be asleep for a few days. But that's about it." I felt my eyes grow heavy again, "Go to sleep, love." was the last thing I heard before losing consciousness.
(twelve years later...)
"Moooooooom, I'm hungry." I chuckled at my son's impatience. My cancer was a lie. Damaskinos lied to Josh. A few weeks later I missed my monthly, and I was throwing up a lot in the mornings. "Is the cake almost ready?" I smiled at him and nodded. "Almost. We just need to put the frosting on." I looked over to see Whistler and Blade walking in with a blindfolded Josh. Whistler mouthed to me, 'Is it done?' I nodded, and held up three fingers.

They unblindfolded him and Robert and I shouted "Happy Birthday!" He smiled and shook his head. "When they blindfolded me, I thought they were gonna kill me." I shook my head and smirked, "Bobby got ya something." I looked down at Robert (A/N: Bobby's a nickname for Robert fyi) and Bobby gave him a book. I helped him find the pictures that Josh hates and loves. "You even added out wedding photo?" Bobby nodded and smiled. "Yeah. Mom and I even added a letter on the last page." Josh knelt down to Bobby's height and kissed his forehead, and I got a peck on the lips. "I love it. Can we eat the cake now?" We all laughed, and I nodded. Everyone went ahead and before I could follow Josh grabbed me by the wrist and turned me around and whispered in my ear, "I better get an all night present." I blushed, and pecked his lips. "I love you, Chels."
"I love you, too. Now c'mon. Let's eat."
