A/N: I have hit a road block with my Untitled story. I know where I want it to go but it is not going in that direction. This chapter is kinda a two parter. The next one is going to be a little different, instead of Jamie or Danny writing to the other, it is going to be Mary. This was just a set up chapter for the next one. I must say thank you to my faithful reviewers, you guys keep me going. Thank you! Please R&R!

Disclaimer: Don't own them. If I did stilljustme, CBloom2 and I would be fighting over who gets to comfort Jamie. I, of course would take either of the Reagan boys :)

Of all the possibilities, of all the reasons for this phone call, Jamie didn't expect this. He knew that his mother had been sick for a while but the thought of cancer never crossed his mind.

"Jamie, sweetie, are you still there? I am going to fight this, I will try my hardest to beat this." His mom had just told him she had cancer and she was comforting him. That was always how his mother was. Making sure that her children were okay and putting them before herself.

"Yeah mom, I'm still here, just in a little bit of shock. Do you want me to come home? I am sure I could talk to my professors…." Jamie started but was interrupted by his mother.

"Jamison Reagan! Don't even think of leaving school because of me. You are going to finish and I am not going to be the reason you leave Harvard," his mom cried.

"Mom, please…does anyone else know?"

"Yeah, I told your brothers and sister earlier this morning. They all handled it pretty well, except for Danny, he almost ran out of the house. We haven't heard from since. Linda has been looking for him for about three hours." He didn't think Danny would take this news so badly. And on top of it all his normally responsible brother was missing. "You haven't heard from him have you? We are all worried about him here, especially Linda."

"No I haven't heard from him at all," Jamie said trying to find his voice again.

"Jamie, I'm going to be fine. Please know that," his mom assured him before hanging up.

As he sinks down on to the couch, he hears a knock on his door. His roommate is gone for the weekend and Sydney would walk right in. He wasn't expecting anyone. He slowly made his way over to the door and unlocked it. When he opened the door, part of his worry melted away.

"Danny, I'm glad you are okay. You had everyone worried," Jamie started but couldn't finish when he saw the tears in his brother's eyes. He couldn't help but take his oldest brother into a fierce hug. Danny and their mother had always been close. Jamie knew that if they lost their mom that Danny would be a mess.

"Mom, she's…." Danny couldn't finish.

"I know, she called me. She is going to fight this as hard as she can. But we'll have this time with her at least," Jamie comforted. "Who should I call first Linda or Mom?"

"Can you call Linda and tell her I'm sorry, I'm okay and I'll be home tomorrow, if it's ok that that I stay…" Danny questioned.

"Of course, stay as long as you want."

Jamie and Danny had stayed up all night talking, venting and telling each other stories. When Jamie woke up the next morning to see his brother gone, he knew that Danny needed to be around the rest of the family. A smile creeps across his face when he notices that Danny had left him a note. He wondered if Danny had found the one that he snuck into his jacket.

Jamie,

I didn't know how I would react if someone around me told them that they were sick. Unfortunately now we know. I don't know if I could deal with losing Mom, besides Linda, she is the most important women in my life. I don't want to know how long she has, I will keep her company at treatments, I will let her know that I love her and if need be I would donate to her in a heartbeat. I know you are going through the same pain as I am; you have just done a better job of dealing with it than I have. You always seem to know what to say to calm down Erin, Joe and I. I promise I will keep you up to date on everything going on with mom. And when we do lose her, it is a comfort knowing that I have you, Erin and Joe to keep me going and know cry with. We have each other. And at the moment we still have mom.

Thank You Jamie. Love ya kid.

Danny

Jamie felt a few tears running down his cheeks. He knew his siblings would need him, just as much as he would need them in the coming events. It was something their parents had always harped on, staying close even though they grew older.

When Danny arrived home he knew that he would have to put on a strong face for his boys. He knew that this was going upset them. When he walked into his quiet house he saw a little note that Linda had left him, telling him that they had run to the park but would be back for dinner. This allowed for him to let go of the emotions that plagued him the entire drive home from Boston. As he took his jacket off to drape over the chair he noticed and envelope stuffed into the inside pocket.

Danny,

I honestly don't know what to do to make this any better for either of us. I don't want to lose her any more than you, Erin or Joe does. I know that this has been hard for you, just as it has for me. I had only found out that she was sick not even five minutes before you knocked on my door. Please know that I am always here for any of guys to call. And please don't forget about me, I am only three hours away. She is going to fight this, and we are going to stand by her every step of the way.

Love ya,

Jamie
