Lucius hadn't spoken much since seeing Daphne's post in the journal. Knowing he couldn't easily rush to Diagon, he was resigned to waiting for Rabastan to care for his wife. Taking her to St. Mungo's was a kindness Lucius would not soon forget, but following the birth of their son, Lucius had demanded Daphne be brought back home. He had skilled Healers at Tinworth, waiting on her hand and foot.
But, he knew. The shadow of death had fallen over Tinworth. When one lived with death, one became all too familiar with the signs. He could see his wife slipping away and Lucius found himself at a loss of what to do. Daphne was meant to be his salvation, his chance at happiness. She was the only light left in his life and now that flame was flickering.
Sitting next to the bed, Lucius sat with his hands folded. Their son was close by, small, but strong. A stone had settled into his stomach. All he could do was wait, to watch the brightest light he knew fade away. Never willing to sacrifice himself for anyone before, Lucius found himself praying to Rabastan's god, begging to trade places with his wife.
Reaching over, Lucius adjusted the blanket and offered his wife a small smile. "My beautiful wife," he said softly. "I'd give this all up if I could keep you with me a little longer."
