Riker's POV:
It's Sunday and Carrie and I are just lying together on the coach watching Disney movies and eating popcorn in our sweats. We finally get some private time together for a second date. Somewhat. We started out watching the little mermaid and now we're watching the lion king.
"We're out of popcorn." I said looking at the empty pink bowl in my lap. She looked over at me and nodded.
"I'll get some more, pause the movie." I said. She grabbed the remote and paused it. I stood up and walked into the kitchen. I put a new bag in the microwave and waited then I felt her arms wrap around me and her head rest on my arm.
"I love you Riker. You know that right?" She asked me.
"I love you to Carrie." I told her. She smiled and walked in front of me and sat on the counter. She rested her arms on my shoulders' and I put my hands' on her waist.
"I have my first treatment this Wednesday for my leukemia. And I'm scared." She told me. I was struck.
"I'll be right there with you every step of the way. Because you're the best thing that's ever happened to me and I'm never going to let you go." I told her and pulled her into a kiss. She really was the best thing to ever happen to me and I didn't plan on let her go, not now, not ever. The microwave went off and we broke apart. We emptied the bag into the bowl and headed back into the living room. We sat back down on the coach, covered ourselves up with the blanket, and pushed play. But for some reason I couldn't focus on the movie, I kept thinking about Wednesday and her first kemo treatment. First. Meaning there is going to be more. It doesn't matter I'll be right there with her through every single one.
