The doctor walked out of the room after the final diagnosis. Max's heart had shattered into a million different pieces, in a metaphorical sense. Why had she hidden this from me? I am her husband, I had a right to know what's going on in her body. He had turned his body away from her, pinching the bridge of his nose. Max's heart was too shattered to look at her at the moment. At least their doing surgery and this can be taken care of fast.
"Maxwell?" Fran reached for his arm as he moved back around to look at her, "I'm sorry for not letting you know. It- It was too hard on me, I couldn't bare to let you as well as the kids now." Her arms flared into the air around them. "You think this isn't hurting me?"
"Darling, I'm sorry I'm acting like this. I just don't know how to take it." He sat on the edge of her bed and leaned down into kiss her. "I know it's hurting you, it's hurting us as well. I had your mother called, she's on her way."
"Nobody knew about this, but me. The reason? I caught it early." Fran smiled. "About a month ago I felt something coming on, it turned out to be simple at first. No Chemo so no losing my hair. Just a simple procedure and it's all over with."
"We should all be happy about that," but when he noticed how her face fell, he knew something was definitely up. "What's the catch here, Fran?"
A tear welled up into her eye as she felt her heart also shatter, just like Maxwell's had previously. "I'm having a hysterectomy. There's no more children in our future, Max. Aren't you going to be upset about this?"
His fingers were once again connected to her hair, "Nothing matters. All that matters is that I love you. No one or nothing can take that feeling away, sweetheart. Believe me, I've never felt this way before. I'm not letting one thing get in our way. We've had our fair share of children and that's okay."
Fran's heart pieced back together, "Oh, thank you, honey. You don't know how much that means to me." She leaned up to kiss him, only to be pushed back down by the pain. Fran tried not to let it show, but sometimes it gets unbearable. She felt everything around her being pushed away, blackness taking over her eyes, at first purple. Fran had went under the darkness.
Author's Note: So, I realize that I need to make these longer, but I've just now had my inspiration come back to me and I'm not about to lose it. I'm putting down any ideas that I have, this obviously being one of them(: I'm overly excited about this fan fic. I know it's sad, but it gets better and it makes me happy to know that I have the talent to write this. Hope you still enjoy(:
