Liz's kids
Ch. 2 Diagnosis and Treatment
Author's Note: Thank you so much to everyone who reviewed. I am so honored that you are reading this story. This story has been in my mind for over a year. I am not a nurse or doctor I do work in health care so my knowledge on the medical stuff is just a little. Now on with the story. Thank you again.

(Elizabeth's point of view)
As Doctor Rhodes was about to speak Lucky joined us. Steven had called him to come in. Sam was staying with the kids. Lucky grabbed my hand. It felt weird for him to hold my hand. We don't exactly touch these days. Not that I want to. After many years I can truly say I am over Lucky Spencer.
"Nurse Webber, Detective Spencer I'm afraid I have bad news." Dr. Rhodes said.
"Just tell us please." I begged nervously.
"We are sure that Cameron has Leukemia now." Dr. Rhodes explained.
"What do we do now?" Lucky asked as I was still in shock.
"It is rather progressive so I would suggest he have a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible we should start testing." Dr. Rhodes answered.
"Can we be tested?" Lucky asked him referring to him and me.
"Yes you may though parents are rarely matches." Dr. Rhodes explained to us.
"Lucky isn't Cameron birth father." Steven explained.
"We will go ahead and test you both." Dr. Rhodes said to us.
"Does Cameron have siblings?" Dr. Rhodes asked.
"Yes though they are only half-siblings." I answered nervously.
"How old are they?" The doctor asked.
"Jake is five, Aiden is three, and Emily is 18 months." I answered quickly.
"I would like to test them." Dr. Rhodes said.
"Can we try to find another match first?" I asked.
"Yes though we need to hurry and he didn't match anyone in the database." Dr. Rhodes answered.
"Elizabeth a nurse will come get you and Lucky soon. I will be getting tested as well as spreading the word to our friends." Steven said.
"Would you like me to sit with Cameron?" Monica asked.
"That would be great." I answered.
"Are you okay?" Lucky asked once we were alone.
"Not really. What if we can't find a match?" I asked him seriously.
"I don't know Liz I'm worried too." Lucky answered.
They took my blood first and then Lucky's. Steven and Patrick came in to get tested too. A lot of the staff was getting tested. Kelly and Laney both were heading down as we came up.
I saw Sonny come in as Lucky went on to Cameron's room. I smiled at Sonny. We walked towards me. I could tell he knew I wasn't sure who had called him though.
"Hello Elizabeth. I hope you don't mind but, Robin called." Sonny explained.
"Thank you so much for coming." I said hugging him.
"I'm here to get tested as well as Michael. Also Max, Milo and a few other friends are getting tested." Sonny said.
"Oh thank you all so much." I said.
"I haven't been able to reach Jason yet. As soon as I do he'll be here. I know you are a very important friend to him." Sonny said as I nodded.
I hugged Sonny again I was trying not to cry. He was one of the few people who knew just how important Jason is to me. They came and got Sonny. I headed back to Cameron's room. Michael came in and brought him a truck. Michael told me his Mom was sorry she's couldn't be tested.
Enough though Carly and I aren't friends I knew she would never want to see a child suffer. Carly is pregnant with her fourth child. She and Sonny are so excited. Josslyn is excited to become a big sister. Sonny had remarried Carly and adopted Josslyn shortly after Carly got full custody of her. I always knew Sonny and Carly still loved each other and Jax is now married to Brenda and they live in Paris.
I was exhausted. I kept falling asleep. Sam had arrived. She suggested I go home and nap for a while. I finally agreed. After my nap I went and checked on the other kids. When arrived back at the hospital Dr. Rhodes asked to speak with Lucky and I.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
"I'm sorry but no matches. And Cameron is only getting worse. I believe we need to get your other children tested." Dr. Rhodes explained.
"I'll go get the kids." Lucky said as I nodded.
An hour Lucky and Sam returned with the other kids. They took Jake and Aiden back first. Jake wanted to see Cameron. Steven and Dr. Rhodes agreed that Jake and Aiden could see Cameron if they wore mask.
Aiden was really scared at seeing his big brother sick. Jake was being strong he's so much like Jason it's scary sometimes. Sam offered to take the kids home. Dr. Rhodes came in and told us it would be at least a day until the results were back.
Lucky wanted to stay the night with Cameron. I went and picked Jake, Aiden, and Emily up so they could sleep at home. After I got the kids settled I took a long warm bath. Then I fell asleep.
