Hey guys... Sorry the update took so long. I was busy. Luckily... summer s coming and I have nothing better to do with my life than write fan fiction. should be updating this weekend. I don't have anything planned so expect it. I'm sorry that it's been so long. Thank you all so much for reviewing. I cried at the feedback I got from the last chapter. You guys are the best. I try my best to keep things realistic and I'm so happy that you think it is. This chapter is kind of graphic, but I hope you fun!

Maya's POV

Lexi has been going through treatment for three days now, and it couldn't be going worse for her. Not only has her hair started falling out, but she can't keep any food down and she complains that her entire body hurts. I feel so terrible because there is absolutely nothing that I can do to help her through this but be there for her.

She isn't taking the whole hair losing thing well either. When the first clumps started to come loose, she wouldn't stop crying. The only thing that would calm her down at all was seeing that her new friend Sabrina is bald underneath her wig.

Lexi sleeps most of the day now, and Doctor Pierce says that with the intensity of her chemotherapy it's normal. When she is awake she is miserable, and I can see that seeing her sick like this is harder on Cam then it is me.

He can't even look at her normally anymore. He tries to treat her just like he always has, but whenever he talks to her the joy he used to get in his eyes is replaced by fear and grief.

Doctor Pierce tells us that Lexi is going to be discharged tomorrow so today I have to go to the house and bleach the hell out of everything. We can't expose Lexi to anything that could get her sick.

"I told coach that I can't play this season, and I'm officially announcing it at a press conference next week." Cam proclaims walking into the room with a frown gracing his already tired face.

"Are you sure that you want to do that? You love hockey!" I say worriedly rising from the chair in the hospital room.

"I have to. With all that's going on I can't be away from you and Lexi for weeks at a time. I need to be here, so I will be." He mentions solemnly.

I smile at my husband sympathetically and walk closer to him wrapping my arms around his torso and resting my head on him. "We'll be fine. You don't have to give up hockey, Cam." I say rubbing his back as I hug him tightly.

"It's not just that I need to be here. I want to be here… for you and for Lexi. I love you." He responds holding me close to him.

A genuinely happy smile stretches across my face and I look up at him adoringly. "You know that you're the greatest right?" I ask him lovingly.

"Why do you say that?" he chuckles slightly not letting go of my waist. "You're just the greatest husband and dad ever. I can't believe we're lucky enough to have you." I smile up at him sweetly.

"M, you're crazy if you think you're the lucky one." He comments leaning down and pecking my lips. Once he pulls away he bites his bottom lip and slowly releases my waist.

"I better go clean the house. She's coming home tomorrow." I tell him gesturing toward our sleeping daughter. "Are you sure you don't want me to do it?" he asks me curiously which causes me to burst into laughter.

"You scrubbing the house down? Funny!" I laugh walking out of the hospital room grabbing my purse on the way out. I notice him roll his eyes at me playfully as I walk out and I smile.

Obviously things are not back to normal. I doubt they will ever be normal, but we are getting used to the way things are now and that is comforting. It makes me feel that we will get through all of this.

I make my way to the house, but not before calling Katie and asking for her to come over and help. She makes it to the house twenty minutes after I do, and we spend the day scrubbing any surface that could have germs to make Lexi sick.

"Thank you so much for helping me out, Katie. I really appreciate it!" I tell her thankfully pouring her a glass of cold iced tea.

"Awe Maya, I'm happy to help as much as I can. Don't ever hesitate to call me if you need anything, or even if you just want to talk. I know you know that you can call me whenever, but I just want to tell you I'm here for you." Katie assures with a smile before taking a sip of the tea.

Everyone we have told about Lexi has been very supportive. My entire family has come to visit her in the hospital. Cam's family has been pretty supportive as well. He hasn't spoken to his mom since their fight on the phone, but he talked to the rest of them. His brothers were even sweet enough to send Lexi a "Get Well Soon" basket.

The next day when we bring Lexi home from the hospital she isn't feeling well. Her chemo has been taking quite a toll on her and Cam and I just want to make her feel as comfy and healthy as possible. We end up spending the entire day with her in our bedroom watching "Tangled" and every other movie she wanted to watch.

"Daddy, can we watch 'Tangled' again?" Lexi asks sweetly grinning at Cam. He gives her the sympathetic smile that he has been giving her since we found out about her Leukemia and replies with "Anything you want Munchy!"

He presses play on the remote for the sixth time today, and Lexi curls up to watch it with me again. We get about a quarter of the way through before Lexi's eyelids start to droop. I kiss the top of her newly bald head as my sweet little baby girl dozes off in my arms.

As soon as he notices that Lexi is asleep, Cam starts flipping through channels and stops when he realizes there is a "How I Met Your Mother" marathon on.

"Are you really watching this crap?" I say in a deep voice mimicking the way he made fun of my shows a couple weeks ago.

He gives me a confused look with a raised eyebrow. "You love this show."

"My wedding shows..." I say trying to jog his memory about the teasing a couple weeks ago. He continues to stare at me with a crazy confused expression and I finally accept the fact that he doesn't know what I am referring to.

"Never mind…" I say turning my head toward the flat screen on the wall and watching the rerun of one of my favorite shows as a teenager.

"Hey, are you hungry? I think I'm going to go down and make a something. I'm starving." I mention starting to get off of the bed.

"Uh… yeah. I could eat. I'll go down with you." He says flicking the off button on the remote.

"Well… shouldn't one of us stay with her?" I inquire not feeling right about leaving Lexi by herself.

"Maya… She'll be fine. She's sleeping, and we are going down stairs not to Japan. If she wakes up we can be up here in a minute." Cam assures with the sweet grin that I fell in love with.

I think about it for a moment before realizing that he is right. I nod my head and start following him down the hardwood steps.

Once in the kitchen I open the refrigerator door, and try to decide what I want to eat. I notice Cam sit down at the island, and I turn to him with a pathetic frown. "I don't know what I want." I groan ridiculously causing him to chuckle at me.

"You're adorable." He comments sweetly biting his lip. "Thank you… What should I eat?" I continue to groan until I think of what I want.

"I'm gonna make an omelet. Do you want one?" I ask him overly excitedly. He laughs at me and nods his head "Sure".

I get the contents that I need out of the fridge and place them on the counter. "Are you okay?" he asks still chuckling. "Yeah, why do you ask?" I question turning around.

"You just seem a bit loopy right now, M." He proclaims giving me a crooked smile.

"Oh… I'm fine. I'm tired, but I'm just happy to be home." I reply in a more normal tone.

"Okay… just making sure." He comments still looking quite amused at my silliness.

Cam's POV

Maya brings the eggs as well as a bowl to the island and starts cracking them one by one. She gets to the third egg, and the whole thing shell and all shatters into the bowl.

I look at the shocked expression on her face and burst into laughter. With seeing my reaction she herself starts into a fit of laughter. "Woops" she says pouring the raw eggs in the bowl into the trash.

She proceeds to wash her hands and rinse out the bowl in the sink when I decide that I can't resist her cuteness any longer. I wrap my arms around her from behind and she sets the bowl down carefully on the counter before turning around and giving me a flirty smile.

She is the most beautiful person on the planet. I think to myself before leaning down and kissing her lips tenderly. A few seconds later I pull away and hear a faint moan erupt from Maya. I take that as a signal to continue and lean back down to her lips this time with more force and more passion.

She responds to my kiss by shoving her tongue in my mouth which I was surprised at. We usually don't get this passionate when Lexi is home, but I figure Maya has decided to change the rules a bit since Lexi isn't able to stay over at Katie and Jake's anymore.

She pulls away from the kiss a few minutes after it starts and I figure that our spontaneous moment is over, but instead Maya grabs my shoulder when I turn away from her.

"Where do you think you're going?" she asks pulling me close to her again. "I guess nowhere." I reply biting my lip pleasantly surprised by her actions.

My beautiful wife grabs the back of my neck and forcefully crashes her lips into mine. I continue to move my lips and tongue in sync with hers not knowing how far she wants to take this until she tries to take my t-shirt off of me. I help her out by pulling it off of my head, and I lean back down to kiss her slightly giggling at how much she struggled to get my shirt off. I start moving my kisses down to her neck and I smile at the moans escaping her lips.

I hoist her small frame up and she wraps her legs around my waist. I find the island and set her on it careful to not disturb the food products still sitting on top of it. I pull away from the very zealous and sloppy kiss to see a wide grin adorning Maya's face. She pulls her tank top over her head and is left in a plain white bra and pajama pants.

I find myself staring at her beauty until she jumps down from the counter and wraps her arms around my neck and presses her lips to mine once again. She wraps her legs around me again and holds on tight to me as we continue to make out. I am… excited at this point and I am pretty sure Maya can feel it.

My suspicions are confirmed when she pulls her lips from my neck and whispers "living room!" in my ear excitedly. She squirms a bit signaling for me to let her down and she pulls me into the living room by the waistband of my pants and I can't believe any of this is happening.

We are never that spur-of-the-moment couple. Maya hasn't acted like this since before Lexi was born, and this is seriously the most fun we have had in years. Everything we do is scheduled, but not this.

"That was fun. You're really good at this." I tell Maya as I hold her close to me on the couch.

She looks up at me and smiles. "Why don't we do that more often?" she asks with her hair a complete mess.

"We don't have time... sadly." I say stroking her arm under the blanket. "Oh yeah… we should make time." She says laughing. "Because that was the most fun I've had in years." She adds biting her lip embarrassed.

"We had sex three weeks ago… but I know what you mean. It's different when the moment is planned." I mention smiling at her.

"Mommy…" I hear Lexi crying from the top of the stairs. We both get up speedily and look for our clothes. "I'll be right there Lex" Maya yells nervously her voice cracking several times in the sentence.

She rushes into the kitchen to find her top and I see her running out and back upstairs not even a second later.

I find my clothes and get dressed a little more slowly than Maya. Lexi called for Mommy not daddy, and I'm sure she's got it covered. I put the eggs back in the fridge before heading back upstairs.

When I get up there it turns out Lexi woke up and puked all over the bed. I don't even know where it's coming from at this point. She hasn't kept anything down in days. Doctor Pierce told us that her stomach should be settled in a few days so we aren't especially worried about it.

"Need some help?" I ask Maya when I see her holding our increasingly frail munchkin and trying to calm her sobs.

"Lexi, don't worry about it baby. We aren't mad at all. We just want you to feel better, baby." Maya comforts the little girl who is only mildly covered in vomit.

"Here baby, go with daddy. You need a bath." She says releasing Lexi and handing her to me.

Before I walk out I notice Maya look down at her now puke covered tank top and say "I need a bath." I laugh and carry Lexi carefully to her bathroom where I give her a quick bath. I notice on her bedroom clock that it is getting late. It's almost midnight and Lexi really should be going back to bed. After I am done hosing off the upset child, I put her in new pajamas and lay her down in her bed.

"I'm sorry Daddy…" Lexi cries one last time causing me to tear up a little. "Munchy, don't worry. Just go back to sleep, and I'll be in soon to check on you." I mention feeling guilty for her guilt.

She's such a sweetheart that she feels worse about the mess than anything else.

I smile at her sympathetically as I walk back to our bedroom where Maya is stripping the king sized bed.

I help her out with the sheets and pillow cases folding them all into a ball so that the puke is face the inside. We carry the blankets down to the laundry room next to the kitchen where we start a load of the laundry.

Maya looks really tired and distraught. "M, what's the matter?" I inquire sadly.

"We are terrible people!" she yells with a guilty frown. "Maya, you got up there seconds after she called for you. It's not a big deal." I say trying to suppress my own guilt regarding the situation.

"We shouldn't be doing that, Cam! She is sick and we aren't allowed to have fun! We aren't. Never again!" Maya screams at me before bursting into tears.

I nod in response quickly rushing toward her and enveloping her in my embrace. She cries into my chest and I try my best to disregard the puke on her shirt rubbing against my shirt and making my shirt gross.

"Shhh… It's okay. Calm down…" I comfort her rubbing her back as her body quivers with every sob.

She sniffles deeply and pulls away from my hug a few minutes later. "I'm gonna shower. I have puke on me." She says miserably before running up the stairs.

I walk over to the kitchen sink and get the puke off of my shirt before going into the living room and cleaning up the mess that Maya and I left including my pants, her undergarments, and both of our socks. I bring the clothes and the blanket we used to cover ourselves into the laundry room, and think about how right Maya is.

What were we thinking doing that when poor little Munchy is upstairs feeling like shit? We are terrible…
