the mother she never knew) fighting the battle part thirty seven

Once we enter inside the house and l showed Lena and the kids around
Lena practically cried. After seeing the whole place, the contractors did amazing job. Nyla and Braylon were over joyed after seeing their rooms
We sat down at the table and ate pizza as a family. There's still a bunch of stuff we need to get the house,
Luckily it had a microwave above the stove. That's one thing off the list
Lena wrote down a list, where gonna probably go out tomorrow and get
Lena fell in love with the kitchen and the master bedroom because it has a huge bathroom, that's completely different from the one we have at home. The only difference is the shower is separate from the tub and there's two sinks. We decided this will be our vacation home, when we wanted to get away from San Diego
Everybody was full after eating the pizza. I'm surprised Braylon had two slices, Nyla always eat one, Lena ate too as well. Lena brought Nyla and Braylon sippy cups, Lena drinking a glass of wine. I'm happy Lena loves the house, in the beginning l wasn't sure if she was going to like it. Lena excuse herself from the table gather up the paper plates and put them in trash can. Lena took the kids upstairs to give their nightly baths, we always keep them on the same schedule
I went out back to see the swing set
Stef looked up in the sky and saw the Stars were shining bright, she can hear the voice of her father telling her
He's proud of the woman she turned out to be. That meant the world to her
Hearing him say that, it's not often she sees his spirit. He tells her
She's gonna need all her strength the next couple months, that she's gonna have to remain strong for Lena. Stef's not sure what he means by that statement, Stef wonders if there's any truth. to he's saying, Stef doesn't hear Lena come out. Baby what's wrong
Lena questions, Stef turns around facing her wife. is there anything you want to tell me, Stef responds
Lena wasn't looking forward to this conversation but deep inside she knows can't afford to put off any longer. I just wanted us to have a stress free weekend, the reason why I was late coming home earlier.
A friend of Dr. Ellis called me from the Los Angeles medical center
She's a on oncologist there, apparently Claire faxed over my test results and they want me to come to LA for some test. And she wants to do a biopsy, to find out what where dealing with. My appointment is next Wednesday, l'm assuming Claire told her about the symptoms l been having these last few weeks. Lena explains to Stef, Stef pulls Lena on to her lap
Whatever this is where gonna get through it together. Love don't never feel like you can't come to me, l understand that you were trying to spare my feelings. I know your scared
Please don't shut me out, you don't have to face this alone Stef says
Lena's trying to keep her tears at bay
She nods her head about what Stef just said.
