Request : Newt falls in love with a muggle girl who ends up with a form of cancer. Maybe there could be an argument and when she starts crying, she coughs up blood and/or passes out, etc. and that’s how he finds out?
Three months…three months you had known you were dying…three months and you still hadn’t told your husband. Most people would find it selfish to keep such information from such an important person in their life but he can’t know…you have stage 4 brain cancer that has become terminal.
“Y/N! I’m home!” my husband called from the front door as he took off his shoes and removed his coat.
“Kitchen!” you called back. His heavy footsteps sounded through the house.
“Hey…I have to go out later tonight, I’m catching up with Tina” you whisper as Newt entered the room and wrapped his arms around your waist.
“Oh…okay. When are you two catching up?” he asked.
“In half an hour” you responded draining the water from the spaghetti and pouring it into a bowl.
“That’s so soon” Newt replied sitting down at the table.
“I know I’m sorry but I made pasta for dinner” you said as you placed the bowl in front of him and left to get ready to go out.
Newt had begun to get suspicious. For the past three weeks you were always out of the house every second night. You had always told him you were catching up with Tina or you were running an errand and lately, Newt has been finding it hard to keep the thought of you cheating on him at bay till eventually he snapped.
“Why are you always leaving Y/N?” he asked as he sipped his coffee.
“What do you mean?” you croaked.
“If you’re cheating you didn’t have to go behind my back and do it we could have just filed a divorce” Newt began to get angry.
“Newt what are you talking about I’d never cheat on you, I love you” you whispered.
“Then where have you been going for the past four months?” He seethed.
“I-um-I…” Newt cut you off.
“I knew it. Pack your bags I don’t want you in my sight” he said disgusted.
“Newt wait…” you began to cry.
“No!” he shouted at you causing you to stumble back and hit the wall. The sudden impact made you cough and much to your displeasure you coughed up blood.
“W-what…How?” Newt’s face paled and he began stumbling over his words.
“I have stage 4 brain cancer Newt, I’ve been receiving treatment for the past few months” you said sadly.
“How long until…?” he asked.
“Merlin Y/N, I’m so sorry” he cried embracing you.
“It’s not your fault Newt you couldn’t have known”
“I still shouldn’t have accused you like that I’m so sorry love, and I’m going to do everything I can to make these last few months’ worth it” he whispered.
“Oh Newt as long as your with me they’ll be perfect.”
Today was your funeral and Newt didn’t think he could make it. The weeks after you passed were the most horrible times he had ever had and now he had to relive that pain all over again.
“Newt dear are you ready?” Your mother asked, startling him from his thoughts of you.
“Yeah I guess” he said as he stood up and walked towards the lectern.
“I want to start off by thanking everyone for being here today.” He started.
“I feel my wife would tell me I was being rude if I didn’t. She was very hospitable that way and wanted to make sure I minded my manners. That was my wife, always keeping me in line with her no nonsense ways and her unconditional love. Not only was she was kind, smart, loving, and compassionate; pretty much all the good words I can think of apply to her. She was everything to me, and I miss her terribly.” Newt began crying.
“She knows that I loved her, but I want to express to all of you how much I loved her. Y/N was a good hearted person who truly loved helping others. She rarely did things for herself wanting to make sure her family was happy and healthy. She never complained about working to help me and support us, she was happiest when she was working.” At this point Newt was a sobbing mess.
“I am a broken man, and my better half is gone. She was beautiful both inside and out, and when she smiled at me I felt alive. I was truly blessed to have a wife who loved me and that I loved so much it hurt. I don’t know how I am going to make it without her, but I know she is up there telling me to suck it up. I am trying to honey, but it is hard without you here to keep me on track. I know that everyone here loved her and is going to miss her sweet face as much as I do. My Y/N was strong until the end never losing her faith even on some of the most painful days. I have lost my soulmate, my life and support system, and most of all, my best friend.” He finished and stepped away from the lectern returning to his seat.
After they buried your coffin people began to leave, but not Newt. He stayed, standing, staring at your headstone.
“I’m sorry love, I’m so, so sorry. But don’t worry I’ll see you soon sweetheart.”
