Her eyes creaked open taking in her surroundings, the dark drapes covering the windows and letting the smallest amount of light in the room, the wrinkled sheets beside her, wrinkled empty sheets she noticed, sitting up in the bed she saw his blue jeans were still on the floor and she smiled, flinging her legs off the edge of the bed she headed down stairs

She reached the kitchen, finding him standing by the stove in just pajama bottoms

"You're up early" She said against his skin, wrapping her arms around his waist

He smiled as she kissed the tattooed skin on his back "I thought I would make you breakfast"

"Aren't you going to be late for work?" she asked, roaming her hands up his chest

He turned in her embrace, bending his head to capture her lips in a soft kiss "I called in, thought maybe we could spend the day together"

She smiled, kissing him softly "As much I love the idea of having you all to myself for the day" She said, gripping his hand in hers "Unfortunately I have an appointment at the hospital"

Wrapping his arms around her waist "Is everything okay?"

Nodding and resting her head on his chest "It's just a check-up and to get the results from the tests they did the last time I was there"

Kissing her forehead "You want me to come with you?"

Kate shook her head lightly "I don't want to risk them seeing you and making you stay"

Jack chuckled causing her head to shake at its place on his chest, she kissed it lightly "But before I go, I was thinking about going for a walk, and I'd really like it if you came with me"

"That sounds nice, when is your appointment?" He smiled down at her

Glancing at the stove to check the time "In a little over an hour, so we better go get ready"

Sharing once last kiss with him, they went upstairs to get ready, coming back downstairs a little while later. They ate breakfast together and she grabbed her coat to leave

"Let's go" She said pecking his lips

Half hour later they were strolling down the street, heading towards the local park, hand in hand, laughing and smiling simply because they enjoyed each others company

They walked in silence for awhile, Kate stopped walking when she saw a family in the park, the women was sitting on the bench watching the man and the little boy toss a paper airplane into the air, and smiled as the little boy chuckled when it fell to the ground

"Where'd you go Kate?" She heard Jack asked her, tugging her arm slightly

She laughed "It's nothing" She said "They just look so happy"

He smiled "You'll be that happy too"

She pulled away from him, letting his hand drop from hers "Don't say that" He looked at her confused "Don't say that Jack because you aren't sure of it"

He raised his hand to her cheek, softly moving his thumb over her skin "Kate, what makes you believe you won't ever have that?"

"You are an amazing women and any man that could be with you and not dream about having that with you, is insane" He continued sweetly

She tried to smile, a real smile but she was failing "It's not that I don't want it Jack, I want it so bad" She said, tears in her eyes "But it isn't about what I want, I can't have it, I'm sick Jack and I just can't"

"I know your sick Kate but I believe that you will be okay" He kissed her hair "And I won't let you give up because we can make it, I know we can"

She gave her first real smile, finally and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him tenderly, they walked awhile longer, before Kate announced she had to go

"I should get going; I'll see you at the house later?" She asked

He smiled, nodding and hovering over her "Good Luck, Call me on your way back"

Kate nodded and smiled at him, her beautiful bright smile turned sad in a matter of a second, and water glistened in her eyes, Jack wrapped her in his arms once again, kissing her forehead before resting his chin on her head "Hey, are you okay?"

He felt her nod against his chin "I guess I'm just a little nervous"

He leaned forward until his lips were pressing against the skin below her ear "Count to five" He whispered

She did, and laughed a little while doing so, then kissed him goodbye and walked away

"Hey Kate" He called from where he stood "This is a beginning, not an end"

She smiled back at him, wishing she could believe that

She was sitting in a room in the hospital; a nurse had already come in to ask her all the standard questions, she answered the same as she always did and now she was alone waiting for Dr. Silverman.

She hated these check-ups, sitting in a room with nothing to stare at but medical supplies and posters telling you why you shouldn't smoke, all you have to do is think, think about all the bad things the doctor could come in and tell you, and as her mind raced through the possibilities and she wished for a second that Jack was there to hold her hand, she almost called him

"How are we doing today Kate?" Dr. Silverman chose that moment to walk in the room

Kate smiled "I'm feeling good, better than I have in a long time actually"

Mark laughed while checking her pulse "Any reason for that?"

She blushed, shrugging it off as he finished checking her over, after he was satisfied that she was okay, he flipped her chart open and looked up at her, she caught a glimpse of something in his eyes, fear, pity maybe

"What?" She asked "What's wrong?"

"Kate, you're last test showed us a new development in your condition" He told her, keeping his tone completely professional

She grasped her jeans and swallowed hard as he continued " In your condition you're at risk for other complications"

She nodded "Cardiomyopathy puts you at risk for a variety of things, one of which being Arrhythmia"

"Wha, what is that?" She asked, tears filling her green eyes

Dr. Silverman took a breath, saying it in the simplest terms he could "It basically means that there's abnormal electrical activity in the heart" He said "It causes your heartbeat to be to fast or to slow and slightly irregular"

Sitting there listening to his words, every pulse in her body was pumping rapidly, her palms were sweaty and she could feel her breath getting caught in her throat, this couldn't be happening, not now. Dr. Silverman explained how in some cases Arrhythmia can be minor but it could also be a life threatening situation.

"It puts you at risk, even more so, to strokes, cardiac arrests and in the worst cases death" He told her "But we'll monitor you closely and I'm confident we can keep it under control"

She sat silently for a few minutes, then her head popped up from where it was staring at the floor and she spoke "You can't tell Jack right?"

"Excuse me" Dr. Silverman asked confused

"I don't want you to tell Jack, He doesn't have to know" She said quickly "You can't tell him right? I mean doctor patient confidential right?"

He nodded sadly "Of Course" He walked over to the door "I'll book you an appointment for next week"

She smiled a fake smile "I'll see you then"
