Antonio sat on the bed next to Harlow, listening to her read the card he wrote for her. "I do love you." he whispered.

She closed her eyes while putting the card to her chest remembering her wedding day, and their vows they wrote for each other. "I'm sorry that you and the girls have to see me like this, this was definitely not my plan."

"Of course, it wasn't your plan, and you shouldn't be sorry, if anything, I should be the one who's sorry, I should have spent more money to help you..."

"It still wouldn't have mattered anyway, it is what it is... thank you for the flowers, I do like them a lot." Harlow set the card down next to her, and picked her plate up, trying to take another bite.

"You're welcome my love." he says with a grin. "So how does the food taste anyway?"

"I can't taste anything, but I'm sure it's OK." she says, shrugging her shoulders.

Antonio took her fork and tried a bite of her meatloaf. "Actually, it tastes pretty good, you should still try and eat it, to give you your strength."

Antonio stood up, grabbing the flowers and vase. He walked over to the kitchen, and set the flowers down to place water in the vase. He placed the flowers in the vase, and set the flowers down next to her. Harlow set the card up against the vase, and handed Antonio her plate. "I can't eat anymore."

Antonio grabbed her plate, and walked over to the table setting it down, he sat down and stared at her food. "She didn't eat much, but at least she ate something..."

Sadie sat down at the table, and looked at Harlow's plate. "The girls are pretty excited about tomorrow."

"I just hope Harlow will be able to handle it..." He took a couple bites of Harlow's meatloaf, then pushed the plate aside after he started thinking about her situation.

"I'm sure she will try her best to enjoy the day, it is her daughters birthday, and she was looking forward to it." Sadie says, as she stood up grabbing Harlow's plate. She put all the food away, and then got ready for bed. Leaving Antonio alone for the night, she figured that he needed to be alone and hoped that he would just go to bed.

"Sadie!" Gabriella said loudly while shaking her, to wake up. Sadie opened her eyes and smiled when she saw big hazel colored eyes staring back at her.

"It's our birthday today! Are we going to go see Elsa and Anna now?"

"Yes, you will get to see them soon, you just have to wait until your mommy and daddy wake up."

Gabriella and Isabella took off running, wanting to go wake up their parents, while Sadie got up and got herself ready. After the kids woke up their parents, they went back over to Sadie, asking to help them get dressed. Sadie got the girls dressed into fancy princess like dresses that she had bought for them, wanting them to feel like a princess for their birthday.

After they got their dresses on, they twirled around the hotel room like little ballerina's, making Harlow giggle when she saw them spinning around.

Harlow was able to get out of bed, and walked around on her own. She felt good today and felt like she had more energy. "See what a little food in you will do?" Antonio says to her, feeling relieved when he saw her walking around.

They headed over to Epcot Center, where Antonio had the birthday party set up. Elsa and Anna were to surprise Gabriella and Isabella for their party, the girls knew they would see them today, but didn't know they were going to be there for their party.

The girls got excited and started squealing when they got to the Frozen castle, they didn't realize that their birthday party was inside. When they walked inside the castle, the girls were greeted by Elsa and Anna, and both ran up to them squealing, and hugging them. Harlow had a huge smile on her face, that Antonio hadn't seen in months. He wrapped his arm around her, kissing her. "I'm happy to see you finally smile, it's been a long time."

"I'm just happy that I didn't miss this." Harlow says happily, looking at him, smiling again.

"Keep smiling, it's a good look on you." he says, giving her a wink.

The girls were in heaven as they partied, and played with their favorite characters for the day. By the end of the day, they were so tired they couldn't keep their eyes open. Antonio was amazed that Harlow was able to make it through the day, but by the time they got back to the hotel room, she was wiped out, and crawled into bed.

Antonio hired a photographer to take pictures for the girls' party, and to put all the pictures into an album, Antonio and Sadie sat at the table looking through all the pictures, laughing at the girls expressions, they also talked about what they were going to do for the rest of the week.

By the end of the week, and after visiting all the attractions they had wanted to see, they were all beat, and couldn't wait to get back home, mostly Harlow.

******

Their flight home was a quiet one, most of them slept the entire flight, except Antonio. He couldn't sleep, and kept looking over at Harlow, he was happy she got to see the kids visit Magic kingdom, as well as make it through their fifth birthday. The more he looked at her, the frailer he noticed she had become. He wrapped an arm around her, and pulled her closer to him. He kissed her forehead, and began caressing her arm.

They finally arrived home, and the girls were still excited about their birthday, that they couldn't stop talking about how they got to have their birthday with all the Frozen characters. Harlow sat on the couch with the girls and looked through the photo album together.

"Look mom, that's when Elsa and Anna sang Happy Birthday to us!" Isabella said excitedly, pointing to a picture.

"That was pretty neat wasn't it." Harlow says, kissing the top of her head.

Harlow was starting to get tired, and had asked for some help getting her up the stairs. Sadie helped her up the stairs, while Antonio was on the phone in the other room talking business.

As Sadie was helping her lay down, Harlow stopped her, and gave her a hug. "I want to thank you for everything that you have done for all of us this past year, or however long it has been now. It means a lot to me. I may not have shown it at times, but you really are a great person, and I'm glad Antonio found you. I don't think my girls would have liked anyone else." Harlow tells her, hugging her tighter. Antonio started to walk through the door, but stopped when he saw the two together hugging, and stepped back out into the hallway listening to them.

Sadie pulled away from her and looked her in the eyes "Thank you Harlow, I'm sorry to see what you're going through, and I know all of this has to be hard on you. I may not be the one in your shoes, but if I was, I don't think I could be as strong as you have been."

"Just continue doing what you have been doing, you really are a great person, and I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart." Harlow says to her, as she pulled the covers up to her chin.

"I'll continue to do that, just promise me that you will continue to fight this, those girls really need you." Sadie says to her sincerely. "I'll go find Antonio, and send him over your way."

"No need to do that, I'm right here." Antonio spoke in a low voice.

Sadie turned around when she heard Antonio speak, and saw him walking through the door. "What's going on in here?" Antonio asked Harlow, then looking at Sadie.

"I was just having a private conversation with Sadie." Harlow says tiredly.

"I'm going to check on the girls." Sadie says, leaving the two together so that they could talk.

Antonio sat on the bed next to her. "I have to go run and do some business deals, and I also have to stop at the office, will you be OK if I were to leave?" Antonio asked, while leaning down to kiss her on the lips. Harlow wrapped her arms around him, hugging him. "Yes, I'll be fine.... I just want you to know how much I love you, and thank you so much for the wonderful vacation, I truly needed that."

"I love you too, get some rest and I'll try not to take too long." "OK."

Sadie was downstairs playing hide and seek with the girls, Isabella was hiding behind a door, and thought Sadie had found her when the door moved. Isabella jumped out and screamed, making Antonio jump.

"What are you doing? he laughed.

"Playing hide and seek with Gabriella and Sadie. I thought you were Sadie, and I was trying to scare her." she says, smiling.

"I have to leave for a little bit, but I'll be back soon. I'm going to find Sadie and let her know too."

"OK, don't tell her where I'm at."

"I won't." he says, putting a couple fingers to his lips, pretending to be zipping up his lips.

Antonio walked away with a smile, and laughed. He found Sadie in the music room looking behind the curtains for the girls. He walked over to her, announcing that he was in the room, trying not to scare her.

"I'll be back in a little while, I have to take care of some things, can you keep an eye on Harlow please?"

"Yes, I can do that."

"What were you two talking about before I came walking in the room?"

"She was being very sincere, thanking me for everything that I have done for you guys, and how I have been with the girls."

"I too, thank you as well. You have been a lifesaver for all of us, and I want you to know that everything you have done, means a lot to us. But I should get going, so I can get back at a decent time, I told Harlow that I would try and not take too long."

"I better go find the girls anyway, before they get mad that I haven't found them yet." she giggled. She walked away from him, and looked around for the girls.

Sadie continued to look for the girls and found Isabella behind the door, and asked her to help find Gabriella. They both searched all around the house, and Sadie was beginning to worry, since they had looked everywhere and couldn't find Gabriella. She felt relieved when they found her laying in the bed with Harlow. "I want to lay with her too." Isabella said, looking at Sadie.

"OK, I'll start making dinner." Sadie says quietly, she looked at both the girls, and pointed her finger at them. "Just make sure that you let her rest OK?" she says, helping Isabella up on the bed.

Harlow smiled at Sadie "Thank you." she whispered.

"You're welcome, I'll come and get all of you when dinner is done."

Harlow laid there, looking back and forth at the girls, she talked with them for as long as she could, and then let them both know how much she loved them, kissing both of their cheeks, and giving them both hugs before falling asleep.

"It's been nice dealing with you, this will be a good investment." Mr. Olson says, as he shook Antonio's hand.

"Thank you, with the condition my wife Harlow is in, I just hope that I'm doing the right thing."

"By the way, how is she doing?"

"Not good." he sighed. "There's nothing more that they can do, and she refuses to do anything else. It's been extremely hard watching her wither away every day."

"Give her my best when you get home."

"I will..."

Antonio's phone rang while he was in the middle of talking to Mr. Olson, he looked at the caller I.D, and figured he better take the call "I'll be just a minute while I take this call."

Seeing who was calling, had him on edge, and afraid to answer his phone, he turned his body away from Mr. Olson and answered his phone quietly. "Hello?" Antonio asked, sounding nervous.

"I'll be right there...."
