Chapter Forty-Six

Ali...
I woke up in a cold white room that smelled of cleaning fluid. I sat up slowly and felt the thumping in my head speed up.

"Hey sweetheart... Lay back down." Tom sweet voice enveloped me. I listened and placed my head back on the thin pillow. My hand fingered the soft blanket that was on top of the thin hospital sheets. It was a perfect shade of TARDIS blue.

"Tom..." I managed to squeak out. "You got my blanket."

"Of course darling. This room was way too white." He grabbed my hand and held it in his. I saw the red rims around his eyes and immediately felt my heart drop.

"How bad is it?" I asked him and he looked up at me with complete and utter sadness in his beautiful blue eyes.

"Pretty bad." He said simply.

"How long?"

"He gave you 8-10 months." His voice quivered and a new tear crept down the side of his nose. He put his head down on the side of the bed and gripped my hand tighter.

"Hey..." I said sitting up and stroking his long hair. They had had him grow it out and dye it black. "It's going to be okay."

"It's just... We have done so much, been through so much. It's not fair."

"Don't worry about it. I will fight, this bitch won't take me without a fight." I said chuckling and pointing to my head. He kind of laughed. "Are you Loki again?"

"Yeah. Apparently I am getting getting my own movie." (I feel like he should get a movie...)

"That's really good my prince." I said taking a deep breath and laying my head back on the pillow. I stretched out my hand until it reached his and relaxed. He was there. "I missed you so much." I said my eyes still closed.

"I'm so sorry Ali. I love you so much..." I felt his body shaking.

"Hey... Tom. I love you. You mean everything to me, please don't cry." He sniffled. I heard the door open and the babbling of little babies. My heart tanked to my stomach. Rory and Blake, what about them? I can't die and leave them alone. I opened my eyes and took Blake from Avery's arms. Damien followed her in with Rory in his. My mouth probably moved into an o shape and I pointed to him. She smiled and gave me a thumbs up. Tom took Rory and smiled, tickling him below the chin and getting him to howl in His cute little baby laughter.

"So... Damien?" I asked turning my attention to him and bouncing Blake on my knee.

"Aliiii..." Avery hummed.

"You are back huh?" I asked him. He sat down in the chair closest to my side.

"Yes ma'am. I thought I was too young to be in a relationship and much less love someone, so I broke up with Avery. Two weeks and a half gallon of ice cream later. I realized. I LOVE AVERY! Yeah I'm 16 and yes I am a stupid teenage boy, but I love her...." I wiped my fingers under my eyes and pretended to cry. It was a beautiful but funny speech. Avery moved closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck and placed a small kids on his lips.

"I love you Damien." Tom stood up suddenly and ran around with Rory in his arms making airplane noises making both boys laugh like crazy. I found myself bubbling over with happiness and the bleakness of that white room was gone. We were laughing and playing with the babies. At some point I forgot I was in a hospital and that I had a tumor on my brain stem. It would have to be addressed sometime, but now was a moment I will never forget.

"Okay guys..." I said suddenly as I took a bite of the slice of pizza in my hand. We were still in the room, but we needed to talk now. "Um, there is something that we need to talk about." I felt the air get sucked out of the room like we had just been submerged in two atmospheres of sea water. "We all know now, that I have a cancerous tumor on the lower half of my brain stem. And I am dying. But I don't want everyone to know yet, not until it's too late. Okay?" They nodded and the babies cooed in understanding.

"Okay, Princess." Tom said placing a kiss on my forehead. "I love you..."

This chapter is just a filler, I swear I will try to update more...
