This fic idea came from an actual real-life event for me, but it was a mother-daughter relation in my life.

Ash: 19

Dawn: 18

Chapter 1: The First Gift!

Ash Ketchum and his girlfriend, Dawn, were waiting on word on why she had a growth on her stomach.

They had only been together for a couple of months and they haven't done anything together because they were going to wait until they got older.

"I'm scared, Ash. What if it's something bad?" asked Dawn, worried about what they were going to find on her stomach.

"It's going to be alright, Dawn. I'm here for you. It's probably nothing big." said Ash, reassuring his girlfriend.

A nurse came out to the waiting room and took them back because the doctor wanted to talk with them.

"Dawn, I have the results of your tests. I don't know how this happened to a young lady like you, but you have a severe case of stomach cancer." said the doctor, looking down at the test results.

"What?! No! How could this happen?!" said Dawn, tearing up and starting to cry.

"It's alright, Dawn. You'll be fine." said Ash, trying to keep her calm.

"Doctor, is there a way to beat it?" asked Dawn, trying to get herself calmed down.

"Dawn, I'm afraid not. The cancer has progressed to the point that you won't live very long." replied the doctor, shooting down her hopes.

"How long does she have?" asked Ash, holding his girlfriend as she started to cry hysterically.

"15 days. The cancer has spread quickly throughout her body. She needs to be on bed rest to make sure that the cancer doesn't take her before her 15 days are up. I'm very sorry about this happening to you, Dawn." replied the doctor, putting down the test results.

Dawn just cried in her boyfriend's arms before they went home and he placed her in her bed.

"Stay here. I'll be back from the store." said Ash, placing a kiss on her forehead before she fell asleep.

(With Ash)

He was getting ready to check out at the store when he saw something and grabbed it.

He took it to the check out lane and bought it before he went back home with the groceries in hand.

He put everything away before taking care of the thing that he bought and went into Dawn's bedroom.

"Hey, Dawn. How are you feeling?" said Ash, kissing her as he found her awake.

"Like this is all a dream that I should be waking up from." replied Dawn, returning his kiss.

"I know how you feel. I got you something though to cheer you up." said Ash with his hands behind his back.

He pulled out a bouquet of red roses and handed them to her. "Oh, Ash. You didn't have to, but this is so sweet." said Dawn, taking the flowers and smelling them before kissing him.

"I wanted to though." said Ash, kissing her again.

"Thank you so much." said Dawn, kissing him again.

Hope you all enjoyed Chapter 1! Happy 4th of July! See ya later!
