"You never told me what happened the four days you didn't come and visit me when I was in the home"

Amy and Rory were sat on the sofa, Rory's arm around her whilst Amy stroked his hand gently.

He looked at her, "no, I know"."

"Please tell me Rory, you're my husband, and we don't keep secrets from each other".

"When I'm ready I will tell you" he stood up and went into the kitchen, "do you want a drink?"

"No" she followed him into the kitchen, "I want to know what happened on those four days".

"It doesn't matter Amy, not now, we're married, about to adopt a baby, I don't want anything to ruin that".

She took hold of his hand, "Rory..."

He looked at her and teared up, "I went to the hospital and got some tests done"

"What tests? What do you mean?"

"I went and got tested for prostate cancer, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you".

She stared at him for a couple of minutes, "have you got the results yet?What did they say?"

He looked at her tearing up more before looking down.

She teared up as well and sat down, letting go of his hand, "oh my god".
