"Mr. Cohen?..."

Seth waited there anxiously for the doctor's next words. He had watched the clock that hung above his head in the waiting room for several hours. With Summer's hand in his, he took a deep breath and prepared for the next words.

"Yes?"

"The surgery was successful and Allie is in recovery. There are just a few minor details I'd like to discuss with you to ensure the cancer doesn't spread or reoccur."

"Now?"

"No…whenever you'd like…Allie still needs to wake up…she's heavily sedated and we still need to do a few extra x-rays and the doctor who performed the surgery would like to examine her a bit more."

"Okay…"

The dark hour that the Cohen family was upon had passed. The stormy cloud over their heads turned into a sunshine and they were relieved. Seth returned to his chair and wrapped his arm around Summer. They leaned in on each other and smiled with relief. Allie was going to be okay. While sitting there, Summer listened to the beat of Seth's heart. It was fast…too fast. Well wouldn't it be?

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

After another hour of waiting, Seth and Summer were finally able to see Allie. The doctor led them to the room at the far end of the hallway. When the doctor left them alone, all Seth could see was the smallest ray of the sunset glowing over Allie's face. She was still asleep. He pulled the only chair in the room over towards her bed and grabbed her hand. Summer stood behind him with her hands wrapped around him and her head on top of his shoulder touching ear to ear, kissing his cheek about once every 3 minutes before returning to her regular position. After staying like that for about 13 minutes, Allie began to stir. Little by little, she began to awaken from her slumber. The first thing she saw as she opened her right eye was her parents and then came the pain on her leg. Tear drops began to roll down her left cheek slowly. She then smiled.

"Damn this hurts."

" "Heavily sedated?" "

"I'm going to get a doctor."

Summer went out of the room and came back in 10 seconds with a doctor.

"Well if it isn't my favourite patient…how you feeling kid?"

"In pain…"

"Well that's to be expected after someone opens your leg."

"Okay."

"Well…this is what's gonna happen…basically you're okay. You're not gonna die…you are gonna live a long, healthy life. Seems here…"

The doctor showed them the x-ray taken after Allie's surgery. The large lump that was once there, was no longer there.

"Now there are a few restrictions on you that must be followed. Sports that tend to involve a rapid stretch of exercise…"

"What!"

"We don't wanna risk the cancer to reoccurring…"

"How am I supposed to get my exercise?"

"Take walks, throw a ball against a wall, shoot hoops, push ups, sit-ups…"

"Okay Doc I get it…this really sucks."

"I know…I know what it's like."

"How would you know?"

"Because…I had osteogenic sarcoma at your age. I was like you. I lived to play sports. Then the cancer attacked my left leg…that's when I decided to become a doctor…you're not alone…it does suck. But you'll learn to deal with it."

"Is this really true or are you just saying it to make me feel better?"

"It's true…I wouldn't lie to you…the bright side…you get to go home in a few days but you're still gonna have to see a doctor for regular check-ups afterwards...y'know just in case okay?"

"Okay…"

"Any questions?"

"Nope…thanks."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Two weeks since Allie had come home from the hospital and to her surprise, she was doing well.

As Allie lay awake, staring at her ceiling, her life was never going to be the same again. She went over that day in her head again.

That Day

Allie, Jenn, Jeff, Matt, and Nicky were all outside with the rest of the family playing in and around the pool. Allie sat on the cement surrounding the pool with just her feet dipped in. Her scar ran from the middle of her shin to just above her knee. Seeing the sad look upon her face made Kirsten walk over and sit beside her.

"You okay sweetie?"

"Yeah, why?"

"You seem…down."

"Nah I'm fine."

"You sure?"

"Yeah…"

Allie got up from her spot near the edge of the pool and made her way inside the house. She put her hands in her sweater pocket as she entered the house and sat on the couch playing Playstation.

End of Flashback

Truth be told, Allie hated her life at this point. She hated that she couldn't do anything but walk.

While thinking, she was interrupted by a light knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Hey you…"

"Hey mom."

"How are you?"

"I'm okay."

"I'm so sorry baby."

"For what? It's done…you can't do anything about it."

"You sure you're okay?"

"Yeah…I'm kinda tired. I'm just gonna sleep okay?"

"Okay…good night."

Summer turned out the light as she left Allie's room. She made her way down the short hallway to Seth's room where he was watching TV.

"I was wondering when you were coming back…everything go well with Allie?"

"She says she fine…I just feel so bad for her."

"I know so do I…but we can't do anything about it."

"I know…I just wish there was something we could do to cheer her up Cohen."

"I dunno what we can do…"

Summer sat beside Seth on the bed as she did so, he pulled her into his lap and she leaned back on him. He wore Spider-Man boxers and a T-shirt that said "I'm like a Superhero, without the powers or motivation." He kissed her forehead. She turned out the lights and they cuddled together thinking about how they could cheer up their daughter.

Okay I know that that was crappy and a weak chapter…didn't really do anything but the thing is I was on a writers block and didn't know how to move the story forward…I was lost with ideas and now I have a few. Also, if anyone has anything that they would like to see happen in the future let me know and I will try to incorporate it into the plot. Please review (psst…the button is down there…at the bottom).
