Ria's emotions and mood swings had been getting worse, so she and Wyatt decided that she should go to the doctor. So, she had taken the boys to his mother's and left them there for the weekend, and then she went to the Doctor while Wyatt was in his office and getting ready for the life that was happening there at Hogwarts. It was scary for Ria to go to St. Mungo's. She hadn't wanted to ever really be there since she'd had that accident with her ex-husband so many years ago. She shuttered as she left the hospital. Things weren't looking good. Things weren't good at all. Ria walked to Hogwarts and then she stood at the gates. She walked closer and once she was there she stopped. After pushing open the doors she took a deep breath and then she walked to Wyatt's office. He'd had the same office since she was young. Fifteen years he'd had the same office. She knocked on the door and then thought how she was going to tell him. She looked down and then closed her eyes deeply as she spoke, "What am I going to say?"

Wyatt had been worried about Ria's sudden crazy mood swings and finally she agreed to go to the doctor. Wyatt had wanted to go with her and be there for her, he knew she hated hospitals but he'd had work to do so he went to work and she went on her own. As soon as he knew she was going to be done he started worrying, He was pacing, he didn't really get much done he was too busy with thinking off all the different possiblities. Of course he was hoping it was nothing, that she was just... moody, it happens, he knew as much. He jumped about fifteen feet in the air when he heard the knock, he thought it was going to be the headmaster or whatever. He went to open it and froze when he saw Ria. "You're here."

Ria heard the door open and she looked up. She took a step towards him and she wrapped her arms around his middle and then laid her head on his shoulder gently. She took a deep breath and before she could stop it she felt her own self sob. She moved one hand to wipe her eyes. She then held him closer and whispered, "Yeah, I am here." She closed her eyes trying to control her tears as she held him close as she whispered into his chest, "I'm sick, Wyatt. I'm really sick."

As soon as he saw the look on her face Wyatt's heart sank. It was bad, he knew it. It was only proven when she hugged him and started crying. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head, his heart racing. He didn't want to ask, he didn't want to know... "What is it?" He managed to choke out. He was thinking about everything, he was thinking about Naomi, Camilla, the boys... Oh wow the boys. He didn't know how he was going to tell them... be there when they find out.... He decided to wait until he knew what was wrong for sure.

Everything was running through Ria's mind so fast that she couldn't even think about anything straight. She just wanted it to go away. She just wanted it to all end. She barely felt the kiss as she shook in her husband's arms. She heard his words, but she wasn't even able to register them. She took a deep breath as she spoke, "I think I'm going to ask your mother to take care of the boys. I...I'm going to get pretty weak. It's going to spread." She felt her knees go weak and she wrapped her arms around his neck as she hugged him close and spoke, "Wyatt, the tumor si weighing on the part of my brain that controls my emotions. I..it's going to spread. Things are going to get bad. I think...I think I should just leave for awhile...go somewhere. I don't want to kids to see this. They suggest Muggle chemotherapy because the spells won't work." She buried her face in his shirt and held on as tightly as possible.

Wyatt's mind was racing. Cancer, she had cancer? Years of domestic abuse, she was kid napped... and she was going to die because of Cancer? It wasn't fair, they had kids, they had young boys. Damien and Kyle couldn't take care of themselves and now his mum was going to have to take care of five year olds? She was too old for that, but it wasn't like they had another choice unless he quit his job and apparently they were not going to be able to afford that, especially if she had to go through muggle chemotherapy, he was almost positive the school's medical plan didn't cover that. He nodded in agreement, he didn't want her to go away but he didn't want the boys to have to see that. "I... i could see about getting some time off, Headmaster Weasley would understand... he always liked you..." Cancer, he couldn't get it through his head, his wife had cancer and there wasn't a damn thing he could do about it.

Ria moved her hands through her hair and then gripped back onto his shirt like it was a life line. She took a deep breath as she spoke, "There should be still enough left in my spare account that we can transfer to Muggle money to pay for what we need to. I...I will move into a Muggle place by myself. Your mom...or someone can stay with the kids at our house so that they are comfortable. Maybe maybe we can hire someone so your mom doesn't have to do it alone." She felt tears coming on, but she did her best to sniffle them back. This all seemed so unfair. She closed her eyes and came closer to him as she spoke, "I know he does, but I can't ask you to take off. They need you here. This is your work. The kids all need you. I...I will make it." She was shaking form fear, and she grinned into him as if nothing else mattered. She then looked up, eyes full of fear and terror as she spoke, "I should go away and stay on my own for awhile....jsut so the kids don't know. They have heard us yelling. Maybe we can jsut tell them we are taking a break."

Wyatt thought about it, really he didn't know if they could afford to hire someone to help with the boys. They really didn't have that much, though maybe if they made the right arrangments... He thought about it, kissing the top of her head again before walking over and just kind of pacing back and forth. "Okay so... where are you going for the treatment? Just London or..." He didn't know where else she could go, He had never thought to research it, he made a mental note to do that in the very near future. He wasn't really sure about anything at the moment. "I'm sure mom would do it herself but you're right, she wouldn't be able to handle both boys by herself." At least Naomi and Camilla were both in school so he didn't have to worry about them... as much anyway. "You realize How hopelessly useless I'll feel knowing what's going on and I'm here teaching a bunch of kids, who aren't even paying attention?" He asked, running a hand through his hair. "Okay yeah, I'll... I won't take off but Whatever house you get I want it to have a fireplace, I want us to be able to get ahold of each other at any and all times." He said.

Ria shrugged her shoulders as she spoke, "I don't know. They said we could look at places and make our own choice. How far it is won't really make a difference as long as we can get on the Floo Network." She then looked to him and she shuttered a bit as she spoke, "I'm much younger and I can barely handle both boys by myself." She sighed a bit as she looked up and then watched him pace. It made her nervous. She watched him before turning her back to him, so she felt a bit less on edge as she spoke, "You e where I need you to be." She then went over and sat in one of his chairs in the room. She laid her head on the desk and then whispered, "I still have money in my account from....the other marriage. I will use that since we weren't divorced when he...died. I got the money. That...can help. We will look into good hospitals and apartments or a small house soon. Ranch style...don't think I will take well to stairs."

Wyatt nodded, what else could he do? Honestly, he had never felt so helpless, even when Ria had been kidnapped, at least then he could track the bastard down and kill him, but this time, there was no doing that. It was impossible and all he had was... sitting and waiting. "Okay yeah, I'll start looking it up tonight and before the school year starts we should have an area picked out." He wanted to help with as much as he could. "My cousin could probably help, she needs a job and she'd do it for cheaper than anyone else." He said, and she was the only one his mother would be willing to have around quite frankly. He nodded. "Good, then we don't have to worry about the money issue... as much."

Ria lifted her head as she looked up as he spoke. She nodded as she continued, "I want to look with you. Maybe we can figure out what is the best. I wonder if we should look at the places in America. I I don't know if I want to go to America." She nodded a bit as she spoke again, "Yes, before the school. That sounds like the best idea. Then I can be all moved in." She stood up as she heard him talking about his cousin. She wrapped her arms tightly around his middle again and looked up. She then shrugged as she asked, "Do you think your cousin and your mom will do it? Should we go on and ask soon? What do we tell your parents? How do we tell them?" She thought about the money stuff and then she gave him a soft kiss as she spoke, "Yeah, we will worry about it when we have to."

Wyatt nodded. "Yeah." She definitely needed to be a part of the looking. "Well if that's where the best treatments are then there's really no if ands or buts." He didn't want Ria so far away, she wasn't goingt ob e strong enough to apperate if she needed to, but he was gong to visit her as often as he could. He nodded and hugged her as she walked over. He kissed the top of her head and just closed his eyes, it still didn't seem real right now, he didn't want it to be real. "I'm more worried about the kids than anything." He said honestly.

Ria took a ragged breath as she felt her husband pulling her tightly against him and kiss her head. She nodded as she spoke, "I know we need to do what is best for me. I just am scared. You know that. I will go anywhere that is best for this." She sighed a bit as she pulled him closer. She gulped a bit as she spoke, "I don't think we should tell the kids. Tell them I have some business wherever we have to go to and then I will go. Just lie to them. I don't want them to worry about anything. I want it to be where they are thought free." She took a deep breath and tilted his head up as she spoke, "I am going to miss you."

Wyatt wished he didn't know, he really wished he never had to know how scary this was but... it was happening he couldn't spend all his time wishing it was different, He had to be strong and he had stuff to do now, he had to get it done. "And someone to help you." He added. "After a point you're going to be really weak and I don't want you all by yourself for that long." he said. "You can pick the nurse, friend whatever but I want you to have someone there." That was a definite. He thought about the kids. "yeah that'd be best. The boys won't know what's going on and the girls would just be worrying about something they can't help, it'd be best if they just didnt' know."

Ria nodded as she held him and tried to not cry as she spoke, "Yes, and that is what I need the most. Someone to help me - I suppose. I wish I could have you, but I know I cannot." She took a deep breath and then she took a deep deep breath. She ran her hands over his shoulders and kissed his lips. She pulled away as she spoke, "I will find someone. I will talk to someone about it all." She took a deep deep breath and spoke, "Right, we just have to be sure that your mother doesn't tell them anything." Ria moved to sit on the bed. She blinked a bit as she looked up and spoke, "This is longest we will have been apart in fifteen years."
