One morning four year old Sea woke her parents up by banging on the bathroom door when it shut her shirt in it. "You had to give her you're additude didn't you?" Katrina mumbled. "hey I cant control when she inherited. " He mumbled back. She sat up a flinced in pain. "Are you alright? "alton asked sitting up. "Y-yes I just had a catch in my back. " She said rubbing her middle back. "Probably from that 2 x 4." "More then likely." she agreed.

But when she got up it wasnt any better. She'd been having random back pains for the past month. She was acidently hit with a 2x4 lumber while a group of their friends was helping build a shead when a peice fell off and poped right in the center of her back.

She didnt think she was hurt to start with till she went to sit down and nearly fell down. Now nearly five months later she was hurting...she got better for a while but the past week it started again and with a rambuncious four year old having a thrown out back wasnt good.

"I think you need to get thatchecked out." Alton said worridly. "Oh Alton quit worrying im fine."She said straighting up flinching again and walked down stairs slowly.

She was in the kitchen looking through papers, when suddenly she felt tired , extremly tired like she haddnt slept in weeks she fet her self falling back ward until someone stoped her...her husband. "Trina? Are you not feeling well? "She looked up at him and shook her head. "Come on lets get you in bed. " she knodded as he lifted her up. Once he laid her down he felt her forehead and noted how pale she was.

"I'm calling a doctor." he said gently and she knodded. Sea noticed her father carrying her mother to bed and worried. "daddy?" "Yes Sea." Alton stoped and turned on his heels. "Is mommy okay?" "She doesn't feel well baby so im calling her a doctor. " "oh.. okay.." It took the doctor aboout thirty minutes to get to the Navy base they lived on and began to look at Katrina as he ushered her husband out.

"you think she's gonna be o'kay dad?" "She will be baby." Alton said placing a hand on her head. The the doctor came out asking Alton to step over to the side to speak. "what is wrong?" He asked when they were ear shot from Sea.

"Your wife is very ill." Alton felt his heart drop to his stomach . "W-with what?" "Cancer of the spine." his heart hit the floor. "How?" "What was more then likely she had a tumor or something in her back and when she was hit it casued it to spread. " "Alright...now what do we do?" "Now we start treating her." "Alright-" "Now undertsand Treatment can get expensive..but im sure you have medical-" "Not one her." "W-why not?" "My work wont cover her.." "prices will be outrageous then." "I don't care i'll do what ever it takes for her." he declared with determanation. "Alright then we'll start first thing tomorrow." "Very well..thank you doctor." He mumbled and went into their bedroom.

the doctor had left Katrina some medication for her back. She smiled up on seeing him enter. "How are you feeling?" he said quietly okay...well were in a tight spot arent we darling." she said as he held her hand.

"Yes but one we shall get out of." "Alton we-we cant afford-" "I will do what ever I need to for you Trina." "Mom?" "Come here Sea." Katrina reached out for her as Sea climebed into bed. "mommy whats wrong? " "I'm sick sweetie have something called cancer." "when will you get better?" "..It'll be alittle while sweetie." "..Oh.." "But it will be alright." "your mother's right Seannah." the young child cuddled close to her mother , "I love you mom.." "I love you two Sea."
