Hey everyone! So if you've read the latest chapter of my story The Good Fight, you probably already know that my Grandma died of Alzheimer's a few years ago. I was reading a book recently where one of the main character's parents had Alzheimer's, but it just felt so off in some parts of the story. It got me wondering what if I wrote a similar story and set the record straight, so this came about. Just a little information before we start, Jay and Nya have been married for about four years now. They have a daughter named Isabelle and another on the way.

Bzzz! Buzz!

Jay wearily opened his eyes. What was that sound? He looked over his shoulder to see Nya fast asleep still. A faint glow from his cell phone. Who would be calling at this time of night? Deciding it must be his brother in law calling from vacation in a different time zone, he rolled over and went back to sleep.

Buzz! Bzzz!

This time Nya sat up too. Both of their phones were practically exploding with text messages.

"Who do you think it is?" Nya whispered as they scrambled over to the other side of the room.

It was none other than Edna Walker.

I know it's late, but can you come over quick! It's about Ed. He doesn't remember who I am!

Jay shook so hard that he could barely hold his phone to reply to his Mom.

On our way. We'll get there as soon as possible.

"You don't think it's..." Nya started to say.

"I don't know!" Jay closed his eyes.

God, please don't let this be Alzheimer's. I don't want to lose him.

"I'll get Isabelle," Nya darted to the next room over crashing into a few things in the dark.

"Mommy, what's going on?" Isabelle squeaked. She balled up her fists and rubbed her eyes.

"We're going to go see Grandma and Grandpa," Nya whispered and picked her two year old daughter up. It didn't take any time at all for her to fall back asleep.

Jay was already outside getting the car started up when Nya came out with Isabelle.

For the first ten minutes, not a word was spoken from either of them.

"Do you think he'll even remember either of us?" Jay finally asked and broke the frightening silence.

"I don't know Jay," Nya answered. For months, Ed had been doing things such as buying a pair of shoes then turning around and buying the same pair a day later, forgetting where he parked his car, and more often than not calling someone the wrong name. This was the first time he had forgotten who Edna was though.

"I'm so scared that it's Alzheimer's Nya. My grandma had it. Dad maybe has it. I could possibly get it, and so could Isabelle and the baby. I hate watching Dad get so confused and I'm scared about the future," Jay didn't dare add the rest of his thoughts. What if someday he couldn't remember who Nya was?

"Jay, it's going to be fine. God's going to take care of it," Nya hushed him. She put her hand on his shoulder, "just trust in God to watch over you."

Trust. It would certainly take a lot of trust to get out of the car and face what was left of his dad.

Well there's the first chapter. What do you think? More will be coming soon. See Ya!
