A/N: the song is actually Alex's prayer, although I do love the song. Keep the reviews coming for that is what helps me decide how to tell the story. Thanks again for those who review.

Telling Walker

As Walker pulled up the lane in his Ram he could not help but notice his daughter waiting for him on the porch. And could not help but smile when he seen Buddy the ever present puppy in Angela's arms, he could not help but wonder what Angela will do when the dog is too big to carry anymore.

"Daddy, Daddy" Angela was chanting as she ran out to greet him after he put the truck in park

"Hi Angel, how's daddy girl?" Walker said as he hoisted Angela up in his arms.

"Good, except Momma made me get a check up and the doctor gave me a shot." Came the pouting reply.

"Where is Momma, Angel?" Walker asked to change the subject.

"In the kitchen, she told me to tell you that she needs to talk to you as soon as you get home."

"Ok sweetie you go on and put Buddy in his pen and get inside and get cleaned up for dinner."

"Ok daddy"

As soon as Walker put her down Angela picked up the puppy and carried him to the barn.

When Walker enters the kitchen he senses immediately that something's wrong. Alex is sitting at the table absently picking at her hands and her eyes were red from crying.

"Alex, honey what's the matter? Are you ok?"

"Oh Walker, today Dr. Michael found a mass in Angela's abdomen, she said that it is possible that it could be a tumor."

Walker seems to be at a lose for words all he can manage to do is just hold Alex while wishing that this was all just a horrible nightmare and they could just wake up and it be not real and Angela be healthy.

Later that night Walker and Alex explain the situation as best as they can to Angela and Matthew, after dinner Walker just sits in the living room holding Angela in his arms even after Angela fell asleep, and Alex has to pull her from his arms. Alex and Walker have decided to drop the kids off at the hope center and go to work to arrange time off for the two of them so they can be together as a family while they wait to see if Angela really does have cancer
