Moving On

Untitled Part 7

For the first time in weeks Hank actually had a smile on his face, Josh was a positive match for Jordan so the transplant is a go. Erin's breath got caught in her throat when she heard those words, they both knew that Jordan would be alright.

"When can we do the transplant". Hank asked right away.

"First the chemo has to leave Jordan's body completely so that might take a couple days then once it has left her body we'll do the transplant". Will explained.

"Thank you Will, for everything".

"You're welcome".

Will walked away to tend to his other patients, Hank and Erin were so happy they could have cried tears of joy.

"Let's go tell Jo the good news". Erin spoke after a moment.

"She's gonna be ok". Hank said.

The two entered the room to see Josh and Jordan making conversation, Jordan saw her father and sister enter the room. "Hey guys, what did Will say".

Hank looked over at Josh with a small smile. "You're a match Josh, you're a positive match for Jo".

"That's amazing". Josh said happily.

The teen looked at her uncle with tears in her eyes. "You really do this for me Josh? After everything I did and said to you? You would really help me after everything I did and said?"

"Jo you're family it doesn't matter what you said or did, I moved past it and besides you're my niece I'd do anything for you. Besides what you said you were right I am a selfish person I only sued you're father for custody because I hated him but all that is in the past so let move on with the future that's all we can do".

"Josh could we talk outside in the hall for a second". Erin said.

"Sure".

The three adults left the room while Jordan had went back to sleep, they were outside of her room when the three started talking Erin looked at Josh.

"Josh I wanted to say I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snapped at you the way I did but Jordan's like my little sister and she has been since she was 2 and I'll do anything to protect. After she got sick I would do anything to protect her from anything and anyone, I was completely out of line earlier and I just wanted to say I'm sorry". Erin says.

"It's alright Erin, all of you have done more for Jordan than I ever did. I'm just glad that she has such an amazing family". Josh said. He then turned to Hank. "Hank I'm so sorry for everything I've done to you and to Jordan, I was just caught up with hating you for being with Anna that I never realized that Jordan was happy here with you, Erin, and everyone. You are the best father Jordan has ever had and I know Anna would be proud of that. When you and Anna were together that was the happiest I seen my sister, then when she...when she died I was angry at myself for letting that happen but I wanted to blame you for so long I wanted to blame someone else anyone else for what happened I carried that around for years. The whole time I wanted Jordan because she's the last reminder of my sister I got left, I was blind because I didn't realize that she already has a home, a family, and people that care about her that's all I ever wanted for her when Anna died I knew I'd be taking all that away from her if I got custody. Yes I did want custody but I didn't want to build a strong enough case because when I saw everyone at the courthouse there for Jordan I knew you should keep her it just makes me happy to know that she has you as a father because I know you'll do whatever it takes to protect her so will Erin and your team".

"Thank you Josh for what you're doing for Jo it means a lot to me, when I lost Justin I did everything in my power so I wouldn't lose Jordan. When she got sick I wanted to go out of my head because that's one thing I can't protect her from but I know I would do anything to help her get better. I really appreciate what you're doing for her". Hank replies.
