WISH I OWNED IT BUT I DON'T OWN FSOG.
CPOV
I can't stop my leg from bouncing. This is every husband's worst nightmare. A month ago Ana started getting sick which was not out of the normal. What was out if the normal was the bruising that came out if no where and how a simple flu seemed to last for weeks. She was seen by our doctor and he recommended we see a specialist. That is how we ended up sitting in the waiting room of an oncologist.
When he mentioned it we had no idea what he did. So when we got home we did research. My heart dropped when I seen the word cancer.
"Chris calm down." She says laying her hand on my leg. I take her hand a kiss her knuckles.
"Sorry baby." She lays her head on my shoulder.
"I know your scared I am too." I kiss her forehead. I just need this connection with her.
"Anastasia Grey" a nurse in pink scrubs announces. We stand
"Follow me." We follow with Ana holding my hand in a death grip. They get her weight, blood pressure, and temperature. Then we are led to an exam room. Ana changes into a gown like requested. Ten minutes later the doctor comes in and does his examination. When he's finished he tells her get dressed and meet him in his office.
After she's dressed we go to the office.
I listen frozen as he tells us she has cancer. He says it was caught early. Hodgkin' s Lymphoma. Radiation. No chemotherapy at this time.
I grip her hand as I try to hold in the sobs that are trying to get out.
We leave the office and Taylor drives us home.
We ride in silence. I hold her tight to me not wanting to let her go. I know he said they caught it early but it scares me to fucking death that there is still a chance I can lose her. The thought if going a day with out her makes me physically sick.
When we get home we just spend time with the kids trying to pretend nothing is wrong.
It's been six months since the diagnoses. She completed the radiation but unfortunately it didn't work. So she started chemo.
I got to have front row seats as my wife fought for her life. The worst part is that the cancer was more advanced then first thought. I look down at her sleeping form. She has lost so much weight at one point she was down to ninety pounds. She lost all her hair well technically when it started to fall out she shaved it. So as a sign of support Teddy and I did too. He knows mommy is sick but that's about it. She had to have a central line put in for the treatments.
I was in awe of her. During all of this she never gave up. She continued to be a full time mom to the kids even when I suggested a nanny which she immediately turned down. I told her I was taking time of from work she told me absolutely not. Every morning she would smile and give me a kiss goodbye. I was afraid every time that it might be our last. I accompanied her to every treatment and stayed up with her all night when she was sick.
Three months ago she finished chemo. They told us that she was in remission but the first few years are the crucial time but to remain optimistic. She started gaining weight she's up to about ninety six pounds now. They removed her line the scar that was left behind reminds me everyday to remember life is fragile. She is still getting use to her hair. Instead of the long tresses it was there is now shoulder length style. But it doesn't matter she will always be beautiful to me. We made love for the first time that night she went into remission. We hadn't had sex during the treatments I was afraid of hurting her and she said she didn't feel sexy. So we compromised by holding each other every night. That first night together we both cried it was so emotional. I spent hours worshipping her. I proofed to her over and over how beautiful and sexy she was.
The doctor recommended we use protection to prevent pregnancy for the first year. We talked about it the whole time she was doing her treatments. We decided that we were happy with our family size so I gad vasectomy. I refused to risk her health we have two perfect children and that is more then enough for me.
As for the rest of our lives. Teddy has become Ana's shadow I think he understands more then we know. London is now a walking hurricane. Nothing is safe. Last week she poured apple juice on my computer. GEH is expanding by leaps and bounds. We have acquired at least ten new companies. The intern was fired on the spot when I came in early and she was naked sitting on my desk. I was so tired I couldn't help but laugh. My wife was sick and had two children and looked beautiful. This girl was nineteen and looked like she gad been around the block or two. She started crying. Thank god Taylor kept his ever stoic attitude and removed her because I was laughing so hard I was useless.
ONLINE TABLOID POV
For the first time since her diagnosis Anastasia Grey was seen out with her husband. We learned that six months ago that she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
The couple was seen at a charity event for a local charity that assist patients who are unable to pay fir treatments and or their medications. She looked stunning in a Zac Posen floor length off the shoulder dress. Her husband billionaire Christian Grey was wearing a black Armani suit.
In a rare interview he was asked what was the mist important thing he learned from all of this. His response was " I learned that at a moment at any time the most important person in my life could be taken away from me. I always seen her being in my life as a given and this showed me it's not. "
Anastasia was asked what are some if the things he did during her illness that showed his support. She giggled then responded. "He shaved his head. I screamed when I saw hit. All his hair was gone. He told me that hair wasn't important it was just for show. What mattered was us, our family, my health, and our love for each other. "
We here at Delight were just as much if a critic if the billionaire as anyone. But over the last few months the world has seen a different Christian Grey. We saw a man who was described as aloof, private, and demanding to anyone that wasn't his family. Turn into a man who did commercial endorsements for cancer affiliated association's. We watched as he turned over most of the running if Grey Holdings Enterprise to others to be with his wife.
There have nah sayers over the years who questioned even doubted their love and relationship. If this doesn't show their love and devotion for each other they must be blind."
A/N: the reviews have been great. I'm sorry I can't respond to them all. If you want to ask questions or anything PM me. I had to do the Tabloid POV it seemed like a great way to end the chapter. Again any mistakes are mine as it is and will not have a beta. I use spell check but somethings get over looked so sorry again.
