Falling

Chapter Four

No one's point of view.

Aaron is laying on his bed hoping Alice is going to be alright. Hoping, Praying, anything he can do, he wants his girlfriend to live. He gets to leave next week, he wants to be able to leave with her, so they can get their own place. To raise Rose together. To have a baby of their own. Aaron loves them both so much. Alice loves them so much as well. Their room is quiet, not even the TV is on. Aaron is holding Rose, who is sleeping. The door of their room opens, Aaron looks up to see it's Carmen. At first Aaron is worried.

"She's still in surgery don't worry, nothing has gone wrong yet," Carmen says. 

"Okay, that's good," Aaron says. Carmen grabs Rose and changes her diaper. Once Rose's diaper is changed Carmen gives her back to Aaron. Carmen then leaves. 

Aaron's point of view. 

I am so worried about Alice. Even if Alice didn't give birth to Rose, Rose still looks a lot like her which is weird but cool. I kind of want to find a picture of who gave birth to Rose. Rose's birth-mother died during childbirth. I am going to talk to Carmen about it. I click the nurse button. Carmen comes in.

"I want a picture and information about Rose's birth-mother please," I tell her, she nods.

"I will see what I can do," she says then leaves the room. I get up and lay Rose in her crib so I can take a nap. 

Alice's point of view.

I wake up in my hospital bed, back in my room. Aaron is asleep, Rose is awake making little baby noises. I did it. I pushed through it for Aaron and Rose. We can go home next week i'm so happy. Mom told me that both her and Aaron's mom saved up some money and bought us a house. The hospital helped pay for some of it and the furniture inside. Aaron doesn't know yet. Mom told me before my surgery when Aaron was asleep. It is a four bedroom, two bathroom house, she said the kitchen is very nice. It is down the street from my current house, about 4 houses down and across the street. I am very scared one of us will get the cancer back, but way worse. That will happen if one of us get it back, it'll be worse. The doctor might not be able to get rid of it this time. I don't want Aaron to get it back, if it has to be one of us to get it back. I hope its me. Aaron doesn't deserve this, he doesn't even deserve me. He deserves someone that can help him. I need him though, I love him so much, but I don't think he should be with me. He should live life to the fullest now, be with someone who isn't some weird freak like I am. I can go one minute happy, the next sad, and the next mad. Its weird but it's been like that all my life. 

Aaron wakes up and the first thing he does is look over to me. He face brightens a ton. He gets up and puts both of his hands on my cheeks, then kisses me. We pull away, he keeps his hands on my cheeks while looking in my eyes, smiling. I am so happy. He picks up Rose and puts her in my arms. My baby. She opens her eyes and looks up at me. She makes a few noises. The doctor comes in.

"Change of plans, you guys can leave and check out now," He says, we get really happy. Our moms help us pack everything up. We check out and head downstairs. The hospital gave us a car-seat for Rose. I buckle Rose in then sit next to her, Mom starts the car. Aaron gets in his moms car. We all head to me, Aaron's, and Rose's new home. Our lives will be normal now. 

                                                                     ***

Two years later.

It has been two amazing years, me and Aaron engaged. Rose is two, her nickname is Rosie, and she absolutely loves it. Every 3 months, me and Aaron go in to check to see if the cancer has come back. So far so good. I am also almost 9 months pregnant with a boy. Today is our 3 month check up. Ana is going to watch Rosie, Ana is Aaron's mother. I hope everything is still going to be fine. God, I pray please neither of us have it back. I need Aaron, and Aaron needs me. After Ana comes and gets Rosie, we head to the hospital. Doctor Mills gets us in right away. He takes some of my blood first. Then Aaron's. He leaves, me and Aaron squeeze each others hands.

"I hope once again we will be safe from this terrible cancer," I say to Aaron.

"Yeah me too, I don't want to lose you and I don't want you to lose me," He says, he kisses me quickly. Doctor Mills comes back in 20 minutes later, with a semi sad face. Any other time he'd come in with a straight face then became very happy. 

"One of you got it back, but it isn't bad. We could try and perform surgery right now if you would like, Aaron I am sorry but it is you that has it again," He says, tearing up a bit. He has been like a father to me and he sees me as a daughter. 

"I would like to do the surgery as soon as possible," Aaron says. Doctor Mills nods. 

"We will do it right now then," He says, Aaron kisses me.

"Baby, I am going to go get Rosie, tell our moms and I will be right back up here." I say, he nods then kisses me again. "Good luck, love." Aaron lays on the move able bed and off he goes. I pray it will go for good this time. I drive home, I called moms ahead of time to meet me there. If this cancer does not go away, we are going to travel and go to all the places he has always wanted to go. If it does go away we can be happy again. It was so close to being the 2 years and a half mark. If neither of us got it before then we wouldn't get it ever again but he got it. I pull in my driveway, Ana and mom are waiting. Ana buckles Rosie in and then she gets in. She sits in the back with Rosie. Mom sits up front.

"What is going on?" Mom asks, curiously.

"It's Aaron, it came back." I say trying not to cry, I back the car up and start to head back to the hospital. Ana starts crying. Rosie is awake.

"Mommy? Daddy okay?" She says.

"Yeah honey he will be fine, I just know it." I say, I put one hand on my belly the other I keep on the steering wheel. Aaron will fight for me, Rosie, and Ryder. When we get to the hospital, I grab Rosie from her car-seat. 

"No mommy, I walk." Rosie says, I put her down. I grab her hand and Mom grabs her other one. We both left her up and swing her a few times. When we get in the hospital I pick her up with she is fine with. I go up to the front desk.

"Is Aaron Lilo still in surgery?" I ask the lady, she looks it up on her computer and nods a yes. I say a quick thank you. We all sit down in the waiting room. I give Rosie her leap frog tablet to play on so she wouldn't get loud. When the doctor comes out and has a very sad face. We all rush to him and found out something terrible.
