A/N Sorry it took so long with this chapter … I hope you guys are still interested…
When it Rains it Pours
Ch. 5- Happy Days Are Here Again
It didn't seem fair. Cancer? Hank? Val could hardly believe it. To her knowledge Hank had never been seriously sick before, he seemed to always be in control. It was strange at the station now, they were missing their leader, Maggie, the temporary replacement for Hank handle herself very differently then Hank had.
Jamie was acting strangely, more secretive, it effected them all, but especially Tyler. He told her that he figured if something like that could happen to his best friend, why couldn't it happen to him? He also wanted to help Hank, but didn't know how. He supposed that the reason Hank had been distancing himself from everyone he cared about was because he hated the idea of people pitting him or feeling sorry for him and also because he was in a bad shape. Val didn't know as well, how to help her friend.

Weeks flew by and still Hank's Cancer tormented him. The treatments were really getting him down, his father too. Dr. Beecham tried to get the picture of his wife's last days out of his mind, but found it hard too. He often told himself that Breast Cancer was different then Hodgkin's Lymphoma, that his son would not die like his wife, until, Dr. Lopez asked them into her office.
"Well, that's it Hank. You are in remission. You're done with chemo." Dr. Lopez stated. Hank and Dr. Beecham were ecstatic. Could this really be true? His Cancer was gone? "You'll have to have blood work done every six weeks, thou just to make sure everything's ok."
"So, I'm cured?" Hank asked suspiciously.
"Well, no. You are just in remission. However, if your are in remission for five years you are considered cured, even thou there is still a chance it may come back after that." Dr. Lopez said truthfully. "But, you should be hopeful. This is good news."
Still, Hank felt that he'd have this shadow hanging over him, just as Jamie's did. Always he'd have to worry if his Cancer would come back.

The last week the squad had thrown a surprise party for him, to welcome Hank back to the station. He felt glad to be an EMT again. Also, even though football season was over now, he was trying his best to get back into shape, as he was now weak and skinny from weeks of chemo. Finally, he seemed to be getting his life back in order…..

A/N: Yea, yea I know it's short, Ch. 6 will be longer I promise, and everyone will be in it. Also, Jamie's Leukemia will be reintroduced in the next chapters….. So good? bad?
