"Hey baby, I'm going out for a little while okay?" I said as I peeked into Craig's recording room.
"Alright, can you pick me up something to smack on?" He asked, not looking away from his computer.
"Yeah, no problem." I said smiling and began to shut his door.
"Oh and one more thing." He said quickly.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I love you." He said, turning his chair around. He had a big smile on his face and his gaming controller in his hands.
"I love you too." I said before shutting the door.

I'm gonna miss that.

I grabbed the keys off the counter along with my phone and my purse. I walked outside to my car. A few minutes later I pulled into the hospital parking lot.

I locked my car doors before walking into the hospital. I took the elevator to the 3rd floor and signed my name on Dr. Jones' sign in sheet.

After a few minutes I was called back into a room and told to wait for the doctor. I stepped up on the bed and put my purse at my feet. I got my phone out to check and see if I had any messages from Craig.

'One unread message' my phone read. I opened my phone to see that Craig had told me what he wanted to snack on. Which was unnecessary because I already knew, zebra cakes. He was obsessed with them.

Another thing I'll miss.

The door opened knocking me out of my thoughts. Dr. Jones walked in with a clip board in his hand.

"Mrs. Smith?" He asked, without looking up from his papers.
"Please call me Palmer." I said with a smile.
His expression changed as he began to read my papers.

"So you had some tests run last time you were here?" He asked while he sat down on his rolling chair.

"Yes and I know what I have. I just need to know how much longer I have left." I stated.

"Six months." His voice went quite.

"You can keep trying treatment." He started to explain, but I cut him off.
"No, thank you. I know how this works. My mom had it and died from it when I was 16. I'll come back every so often to get blood and you'll need to give me some medicine for throwing up and all that. So can we please hurry because I need to run to the store." I said, bluntly.

"Yes, of course." He said before writing down the medicine on the prescription pad. He ripped it off and handed it to me.
"You're taking this all too well." He commented.
"Yeah well it's in my family, there was no escaping it." I said before walking out.

As I was walking to my car I saw a mother with her baby in a stroller walking into the hospital.

What I would give to have a baby with Craig.

I got into my car and drove to the pharmacy, handing them my perception and then money to pay for it. Next it was to the store to buy zebra cakes.

After buying two boxes of his favorite snack I headed back home.

"I'm back!" I yelled as I walked into the house.

"Yay, cakes" he said as he walked into the kitchen, where I was putting the other box into the cabinet.
"Thank you so much." He said before kissing me on the cheek.

I'm gonna miss that too.

I nodded my head at him. He took a few from the box and went back to recording. I got the medicine out of my purse and took a pill out. I poured me a glass of water and then popped it in my mouth. Hopefully that'll help with the nausea.

'How am I supposed to tell him? I have six months and that's it. We can't have kids. We can't grow old together. I knew this would happen when I was 16. Why did I ever fall in love? It was so stupid of me.'  My thoughts danced in my head all night.
