A/N: OK forgot to mention this in the first Chapters, I'm not a big fan of Gerry dying! :( So this story has a twist in it XD. Also, I'm relatively new to the cancer scene myself seeing how my grandmother was recently diagnosed and has begun Chemo. I'm just going off the very little I have learned. Anyway Hope you enjoy, and please Review!

The biopsy confirmed their worst fears. Cancer…. It felt like a foreign word to the two of them. The doctor explained that they could either do Chemo or Gerry could risk his life in a very serious Brain Surgery. Gerry opted for the Chemo.

It didn't take long for the effects of the Chemo to show. Gerry began losing weight and his gorgeous brown hair began falling like leaves during autumn. Holly tried her best to keep herself strong for him. Their friends had been very supportive and even her mother began coming around more, trying to help the couple any way they could. It was a waiting game, that nobody wanted to play.

Eight weeks had passed since Gerry had first been diagnosed. The stress of working and taking care of him was starting to take its toll on Holly. Gerry began worrying about her and begged her to go to the doctor. Finally, Holly took him up on his advice. While waiting for the doctor to enter the examining room, Holly couldn't help but think the worst. After all, that's all she seemed to be getting here lately. A slight knock on the door caused her head to jerk up.

"Hello Holly, how are we today?'

"I'm ok Dr. Wagner."

"How's Gerry doing?"

"As well as can be expected. He feels weak sometimes. It was actually his idea for me coming today. He thinks I am wearing myself out." She gave a small smile before looking out the window. Dr. Wagner couldn't help but admire her courage through this rough time in her life.

"Well Holly, physically, you are a vision of health. However, there is something I would like to talk with you about."

Gerry was sitting on the couch glancing at the TV when she walked in. She was very quiet, very distant in thought. Gerry watched her as she walked past them to her room. Not a word was sad as he watched her. The suspense was eating at him.

"Holly, baby, what's wrong?" He could hear her sniffling, which meant she was starting to cry. He eased off the couch and walked towards her. She was lying across their bed, facing the window. He crawled in the bed with her, leaning over to kiss her wet cheek. He hated seeing her upset. The last time he remembered her crying like this was when they got the news about his cancer. Shaking, those thoughts from his mind he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. "Baby, what's wrong? Love, please talk to me."

"Why now?" She said crying. "Of all the times for it to happen why now?" Gerry sat there in confusion.

"Baby? What happened?"

"I can't do it Gerry! I just can't! What am I supposed to do if you don't make it?" She cried even harder. Seeing her like this was truly breaking Gerry's heart. However, he needed to know what was bothering her. He took his left hand and cupped her chin, turning her face towards him.

"Holly, tell me what's wrong" He kissed her nose for reassurance. It seemed to help her a bit. Reaching up to wipe a stand tear off her cheek he waited patiently for her answer.

"Gerry, I….I'm…. Gerry, I'm pregnant." The tears started flowing once again. Gerry sat there in shock. A baby? They hadn't planned for a baby. However, it made sense. Her constantly being tired, not being able to keep certain things down, it all began to make sense.

"Love, when? I mean how? How far along are you?"

"Almost three months. Dr. Wagner thinks that the stress from everything going on with you is why it took so long to figure out." She sighed. She turned her body so she was facing Gerry and couldn't help but to start crying again. "What are we going to do? I can't raise a baby without you!"

"Hey, is that what you're worried about?" He placed his hand on the side of her face, stroking her cheek with his thumb. "Baby, I told you I'm not going anywhere. You've just given me something else to live for. I promise you, everything is going to be ok." He smiled at her causing a little smile to form on her face. "Just think, a year from now, we will be in our own home, with our own little baby, and most importantly we will be together." This really got a smile out of her. She leaned up kissing him gently as he stroked her face, both thinking about their future, hoping it turned out for the best.

OK well, I hope you enjoyed that Chapter! Going to try and get another Chapter out this weekend. Please remember to review.
