"Hey, look who I found" Cameron said as he popped his head through the curtains of Peri's cubical.

"Tom" Peri smiled happily.

"I got you something" he said as he walked over to Peri's bedside.

"What is it?" Peri asked excitedly.

Tom just stood smiling at her before pulling something out from behind his back.

A fluffy white bear holding a single red rose appeared in front of her eyes.

She smiled and took it from him as she noticed the words on each foot "I love it"

"I also got your favourite sweets" he said as he placed a bag on strawberry bonbons on her laps.

"Aww thanks" Peri said as she placed the bear on her bedside table and took a bonbon from the bag.

"What took you so long anyway?" she asked as she had a mouthful of bonbon.

"Well I went to the shop" he said then he shyly admitted that he got lost on the way back.

"Aww, you're too cute" Peri teased.

...

Leela and Cameron decided to leave Tom and Peri alone for a while so they both sat in the waiting room as they worried about their daughter.

Leela wasn't speaking to Cameron as she couldn't believe he would even question her love for him, after everything they had been through and he doubted her.

"Leela, speak to me please?" Cameron begged.

"What do you want me to say?" Leela snapped.

"You're mad at me" he stated "Look whatever I've done I'm sorry"

"Oh whatever Cameron, I can't do this now, our daughter is in there" she pointed to the cubical "god knows what's going to happen and here you are acting all jealous over something so stupid"

"Stupid, he's your ex Leela, of course I'm going to be jealous when I find him all over you" he snapped as he stood up.

"He was being a friend, that's it, god" Leela sighed in frustration "I chose you didn't I?"

"Did you?" Cameron asked bitterly.

"Maybe I wouldn't have if knew what a possessive control freak you were" Leela spat in anger but as soon as the words came out she knew she had gone too far; I mean maybe he was right to be jealous, she had practically cheated on him with Ziggy, but then she had cheated on Ziggy with Cameron too, it was all just such a mess.

"I didn't mean that" she said in a rush as she saw him start to walk away.

"Cameron" she called after him but he just turned around and told her to go to their daughter.

"Where are you going?" she shouted but he was already gone.

Walking over to Peri's cubical she found Tom and Peri kissing so she coughed slightly to get their attention.

"Hey" Peri said as she pulled away from Tom and gave her Mum a shy smile "Nancy and Darren are coming to pick Tom up"

"Peri, I can stay..." Tom began but Peri cut him off "No Tom, you should just go home, I'll be fine, and it's getting late anyway" she told him.

"It's only 6" he argued.

"Exactly, school starts tomorrow so you can't stay here all night"

"She's right Tom" Leela said from where she stood at the end of the bed.

Tom looked as if he was going to protest "Look I'll let you know if anything happens" Leela promised as he knew how much the young boy cared about Peri.

"Okay" Tom said before quickly hugging Peri and going to leave.

"Love you" Peri called.

"Love you too" Tom smiled back causing her to grin widely as she watched him go.

"Where's Dad?" she asked after a moment as Leela walked to the side of her bed and sat on the chair there.

"Don't know" Leela frowned "We had a stupid argument and he walked off, I don't know where he is" she told her daughter "But I'm sure he'll be back soon" she added as she forced a smile.

"What were you arguing about?" Peri asked.

"He's jealous of me and Ziggy" Leela sighed "But he has no reason to be"

"Doesn't he?" Peri questioned her Mum.

"No, of course not, I love your Dad Peri" she assured her.

"But I did walk in on you kissing him" Peri stated.

"That was a mistake, I told you, your Dad has no reason to be jealous"

"If you say so" Peri mumbled before lying back in her hospital bed.

"So, how are you feeling?" Leela asked as she looked at her daughter's frustrated face.

She shrugged as she looked at her Mum "How am I suppose to feel?" she questioned sadly "I'm scared, I don't know what's going to happen, I don't even think the doctors know" she admitted as a single tear rolled down her cheek "They can't help me, it's just going to get bigger and bigger until it's too late" she cried hysterically.

Leela shot to her daughter's side and hugged her as closely as possible as she just cried.

"No" Leela pulled away and made her daughter look at her "You listen to me, they are going to get you better, your going to get better Peri"

"I wish I could believe that" Peri sobbed before Leela pulled her into her warm embrace once more and caressed her hair gently trying to offer her some comfort.

...

"We got here as quickly as we could" Ste said as he rushed up to his sister, Tegan closely behind.

"How is she?" Tegan asked.

"She cried herself to sleep" Leela whispered as she went to hug her sister but she noticed two little people that she didn't see before.

"What are they doing here?" she asked as she looked towards the vending machine where Leah and Lucas were.

"Oh, Amy dumped them on me" Ste said as he watched his kids "But I'm not complaining, more time with my kids init" he said as he looked back at Leela "Come here" he said as he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her.

"Where's Cameron?" Tegan asked as she watched her brother and sister.

"I don't know and I don't care, all I care about is my daughter and getting her better" Leela stated as she pulled back from her brother and looked at Tegan.

"You're had an argument" Tegan said.

"Why does everyone think that?" Leela said in frustration "Look I'm going to sit with Peri, you two do what you like"

"Believe me it's not pretty when those two have an argument" Tegan mumbled before following her sister.
