A/n: Sorry this chapter took so long for me to write, but I've been having some tech. difficulites with my other computer, and I FINALLY got a laptop of my own! So, of course, I was really busy moving all my files in. But here's the next chapter!
~~
The sugery was set for the next Tuesday, and Monday night Jamie got no sleep at all. At 4 AM, Landon as well woke up, and looked over at his wife, still wide awake.
"Jamie. You need to get some rest" Landon calmly told her.
"I know. But I can't. I almost wish we never even heard about this stupid surgery." Jamie replied, hostility in her voice. Landon knew she was just worried and tired.
"No you don't. I know you. You want to stay here and you want this chance. But you just don't want the other half of the chance, the one that it might not go right. Then you'd still have to leave me and and this was for nothing. But Jamie, I told you that God knows what he's doing and that we have to have faith in all of this. And I believe that. More than I've ever believed in anything. I believe that you're going to come out of all this." Landon said.
"I hate it when you're right." Jamie muttered, laughing a little. Landon cracked a grin. "But I love you for it" Jamie finished.
"I love you. I love you so much Jamie" Landon remarked, pulling her into his arms. The two finally slept soundly.
~~
In the morning, Jamie woke and Landon helped her get ready to go into sugery. An hour later the couple were finally in the office and Jamie almost burst into tears. She was trying to be strong, but Landon could see through her acts, and he saw she was scared. Minutes before sugery, he took his wife aside.
"Jamie listen to me. You have to believe. Believe. I love you more than anything in my entire life and I will always love you no matter what happens. But believe and be strong for me okay? Remember I love you in there. I'm missing you already." Landon said, holding his best friend close.
"I love you....I don't want to leave you. I don't want to do this. I don't want the risk--" Jamie started to voice her doubts when Landon cut her off.
"No, don't think that way. Believe. I know your doubts. Just believe." Landon stated.
"I will. I will." Jamie whispered her promise. "I have to go in now...I'll miss you....I love you" Jamie said.
"I know the feeling....I read about it somewhere" Landon shot back. Jamie grinned.
And with all the strength she could muster, walked into the operating room.
