Chapter 1:
Robin and Regina Locksley have been married for fifteen years, a year after their wedding Regina gave birth to Arrow, the little apple of her father's eyes. When little Arrow was two years old she became the big sister of Henry and the family couldn't be happier. Robin worked as a lawyer on his own firm, Regina as a therapist, life was good, very good but something was missing, and they found out what it was as soon as Roland was born, the little boy completed the family.
"Hey Ro, where are your sibilings?" Regina asked to his five year old.
"Henwy is getting weady but sissy is still sleeping" he answered and went back to watch tv.
"Oh, I'll go wake your sister up, daddy will come down to make you and Henry some breakfast, okay?" Regina said to Roland.
"Oky doki mommy" the five year old answered sweetly
Regina simply smiled and headed upstairs, once on the door of her daughter's room she knocked but at receiving no answer she entered.
"Honey? Hey princess you are going to be late for school" Regina said sitting next to her daughter on the bed. The light was coming from a window near the bed, all the room was decorated with Tim Burton's movies theme: Tim Burton's The Nightmare before Christmas, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, Coraline, etc.
"I don't feel good mom" Arrow whispered rolling on her side to talk to her mother
"What's wrong?" Regina immediately asked, alarmed by this
"I don't know I feel bad" the fourteen years old kept saying.
"Where does it hurt?" Regina asked softly
"My head is killing me and-" what Arrow was about to say got caught up as she got up as fast as she could and ran to the bathroom where she threw up all she had in her stomach.
Regina followed her daughter and held her hair while she whispered soothing words to the girl.
"Oh honey, you will stay here today, it was probably something you ate"
"Mom, my head really hurts" Arrow cried with a hand on her forehead
"Maybe it's best if you and I go to see Dr. Rosebell" The brunette said helping the girl to get up from the bathroom floor.
"What is it?" Robin asked coming to his daughter's room "What happened?"
"She is not feeling well, I will take her to the doctor" Regina answered to her husband
"Hey my little girl, you will feel better in no time" he whispered while kissing the girl's head
"Love you daddy" Arrow said before closing her eyes, feeling exhausted
"I will take Roland to kindergarten and Henry to school, don't worry love" he said to his wife kissing her softly
"Take care" she said "love you"
"Love you too, call me to see what the doctor said" he said walking downstairs to get his other children
"Of course" she answered walking behind him.
After biding them goodbye she made an appointment with Dr. Rosebell Green, who had been the children's doctor since they were born.
Getting Arrow up was though, she could barely stand, too weak to walk. Regina was worried, of course she was, Arrow barely got sick and the times she was, it was never like this. Once at the hospital Dr. Rosebell called them immediately.
"Hey little Row, what happened?" Dr. Green asked
"My head hurts" was the only answer of the girl
"And she threw up this morning and as you can see she is too weak" Regina said, worry could be hear in her voice
"Okay, I'm worried about her headaches, what other things you feel honey?" The blonde doctor asked
"The other day I got dizzy at school, and I threw up then too" Arrow answered "please Tink, make the pain go away"
"I will sweetie, I promise" Dr. Rosebell said smiling at the nickname the girl had given her when she was little and obsessed with fairies "I would like to do some blood tests and a tomography"
"A tomography? Why?" Regina asked alarmed
"The headaches are not normal, Regina, I will not lie to you, this may mean something bad" Dr. Green said serious
"When is she going to have the tomography?" Regina asked gripping her daughter's hand
"Right now, I will tell that is urgent so please go right now and as soon as I have the results I will tell you" Dr. Rosebell say
Regina nodded and helped Arrow to get up, both followed a nurse to the tomography room. After that a nurse took them to another room to get a blood sample.
She had called Robin to let him know about the tomography, he was as worried as she was. He asked to be told the results as soon as she got them, he wanted to come to them to the hospital but she told him to stay at work and that she will call him.
After saying goodbye Regina held her daughter's hand, Arrow rested her head on her mother's shoulder and they waited.
An hour passed when they finally heard Dr. Green entering the room where they were. She had a somber look, tears shining in her eyes. Something was wrong, really wrong.
"I have your results Arrow" she started looking at the girl that was seated next to her mother still holding her hand.
"Please Rose, just tell us" Regina said
"Arrow has a brain tumor" Dr. Green said, and just like that all of Regina's world came crashing down. Her daughter, her baby girl, had cancer. All she could do was cry while hugging her little princess to her chest, Arrow hugged her mother back, tears falling from her blue eyes as her mother whispered: Everything is going to be alright baby, I love you so much.
A/N: Okay so this is the first chapter, I know it's not perfect but I hope you like it. This story will be focused on Arrow's cancer and how she deals with it. Also on how Robin, Regina and the rest of the family and friends deal with the fact that someone that they love has this horrible disease.
Reviews motivate me, but please be nice... Love you all.
