"Wait, what don't I know?" Rachael said as she stood up and stared at the girl who claimed to be her sister. "What's wrong with him!"
"Rachael, calm down."
"NO! Im not going to calm down! You walk in here, and tell me you're my sister and then that there is something I don't know about and expect me to be calm! No!" Her voice calmed down and she looked at Jamie. "What's wrong?"
"Dad is sick too."
"With what?"
"He has…" There was a quiet moment and Rachael could tell that something was wrong. This was nothing like a cold or the flu. "…cancer."
The words stung like a whole group of wasps that decided to swarm over and kill her. Her arms ached and her throat became dry. There was nothing she could even try to say. Jamie handed Rachael a small tissue and Rachael took it, not even realizing that she was crying. She began to get a headache and froze in her position. Ross, still sitting beside them both began to tear up also. It was a hard not to cry. Jamie put her arms around Rachael trying to comfort her but Rachael didn't hug her back. She just sat there, not knowing what to do. Her dad needed her just like she had always needed him.
"Where…" she started to say but the words almost couldn't make it out of her desert like mouth. "Where is…where is my dad?"
"He's in the hospital right now…but they think that they caught it in an early stage, so that's always good," Jamie reassured her. "Do you want me to bring you to him Rachael?"
Rachael, although she didn't say anything, nodded slightly. Jamie helped her stand up and walked her out of the door smiling slightly at Ross as she walked out but he could still see the tears running down her face.

Chandler walked into the apartment followed by Joey.
"Hey Ross," Joey said, "Oh! I love this song!" Joey started to dance as he listened to the music that was playing from the radio.
"Joey, this is Chineese," Chandler told him.
"I know, I can speak Chineese."
"Oh, really? What is it saying?" Ross asked him.
"I…Love…You…MarrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa." Joey smiled.
"Nice translation," said Chandler.
"THANKS!"

Rachael walked into the cold hospital room followed by her sister. "Hi dad," she said in-between sobs.
He reached for her and embraced her in a hug. "I'm so sorry honey," he whispered into her ear as she hugged him.
Rachael tried not to seem upset with the fact that she was never told about her sister but it was hard to hide. "I meet my sister today…" she said.
Rachael stayed in the hospital all week and was visited by Ross, Chandler, and everyone else but she was still scared. What if her dad died?
She heard a door open in the hospital and looked up.
"Rachael, could you come here for a second?" the nurse asked…
