"What do you mean?" *she asked bordering on hysterical. When Eponine didn't reply, she began sobbing harder, but forced herself to calm down. She wasn't dead, and if... if she was... It was all her fault! If she hadn't gone out to that stupid cafe and then home with Enjolras, this never would have happened! She sunk down into a chair, sobbing.*

((We'll just pretend somebody went and got him.))
Fitz sprinted into the room and to Eponine's bedside.
"Oh my God, what happened? What's going on?" he demanded frantically.

*Eponine coughed.*
"WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE JUST LET ME HAVE MY COMA?!?!?!"
"Fitz?" *She asked, not opening her eyes.*

Fitz held her hand. "I'm here, Auntie," he said softly. "You called for me?"

*She coughed and nodded.*
"I need you to take c-care of Aimee until..." *She coughed.* "Until I'm better."

He nodded. "Your child will want for nothing," he assured her. ((Sorry! Couldn't resist!))

*She nodded and coughed, patting his hand weakly and squeezing Marius's before passing out once again, alive but not waking up anytime soon.*
((Still not dead.))

((I am not dead yet, I can dance and I can sing! I am not dead yet, I can do the Highland Fling! I am not dead yet! No need to go to bed! No need to call a doctor 'cause I'm not yet dead!))
He turned to Marius. "What happened to her?" he asked.

*Aimee simply waited, stroking her doll's hair and humming softly.*

*he shrugged.*
"beats me. I think she fell, but then she started coughing..."

"Oh my God," he muttered. He looked at his half-sister. "Excuse me. I think I should tell her about what her mother asked of me."
He walked over to her and kneeled to her level. "Hello, MeeMee," he greeted gently.

*Aimee looked up at him with big eyes.*
"Are you going to take care of me while maman's sick?" *She asked innocently.*

He smiled. "Yes I am. And don't worry—your maman will be better soon."
He knew that this wasn't true, but how could he tell that to his sister?

*Aimee shook her head.*
"No, it'll be a long time before Maman is better, if she ever gets better." *She said solemnly.*

He stroked her hair. "Don't say things like that. Bad thoughts like that won't help anything. Do you think she wants you to be sad?"
