This is now my longest story I've ever written yay! And it won't be the last I promise you that. Enjoy Chapter 17!
Catherine's POV
Sara's slowly recovering from the kidnaping and i'm glad. She's well mentally and emotionally. Physically she isn't doing so well. Her burns continue to bleed on occasions and she keeps telling me it has something to do with her emotions. Right now I don't know what to think, I believe her but at the same time it doesn't really make sense. Right now she's having a check up and hopefully all goes well. The doctor's are taking blood tests making sure that blue crap is out of her system. I don't mind the muscle build up she has, I like it. But if it hurts her it has got to go.
"Catherine?" Sara's voice breaks my thinking and I look over to her. Concern and worry is etched onto her face and it's touching. "Yes?" She walks over to me and I know she shouldn't be walking around. "You shouldn't be walking around, you need to rest." She just keeps walking towards me and sits down. "I won't rest until I know your ok. You want to tell me what's on your mind?" God why does she have to be so carrying? "I was just thinking, well hoping that your tests come back saying that your ok, if something happened to you, if I lost you I don't know what Lindsey and I would do. Your part of my family and I don't want to loose you."
I see small tears hit my hand and I see that i'm crying. Sara gently lifts my hand up and kisses away my tears. Her lips are soft and soothing and she pulls me into her arms. "Your not going to loose me, your stuck with me. The tests will come back saying that i'm free to go and then i'm all yours." I have to smile when she says that. Her hands are playing with my hair and I feel safe. "You promise?" She smiles gently at me. "I promise."
"Miss Sidle your tests are back and you'll be fine, we just need you to fill out a form and get your medications." Just as she said the words you'll be fine I think my heart skipped a beat. "See you hear that? They said I'd be fine nothing to worry about."
Sara's POV
I know the doctor's lying I can see it in her eyes. "Hey Cath why don't you go get a cup of coffee, looks like you could use it." When she leaves I instantly stand up. "So what's wrong with me?" I can tell it's something bad because she looks down at the floor. "Miss Sidle your going to die within the next eight months. That hexelosis is causing your main body functions to slowly deteriorate. Right now we're trying to find a way to cure it but so far nothing has worked. I'm sorry." Ok this officially sucks, I've got eight months live. God you must really hate me, I finally find something I love and it's going to be taken away from me. Great. How am I going to explain this to Catherine?
"Ok, what about surgery? Can't you burn the bacteria off me or something?" The look on her face tells me that she hasn't thought about that. "It could work but we don't know how that would effect your body functions." Well that was a waste i'm willing to take that risk but Catherine won't. "I'll take that risk." I think she's shocked. "Ok I'll let you know when the surgery will be, we'll get the best surgeons we can." Well glad that's over with now I have to tell Catherine the news.
How should I tell her? 'Hey Catherine I just found out that I'll die after eight months from now but there might be a chance at me living with dangerous surgery.' Hell no. This is going to be hard, how do you tell the woman you love and the child you love that you are going to die in eight months? This is so confusing. I need something, anything to take my mind of the subject. The ride home will be the hardest part, she notices when i'm thinking, when i'm upset, when i'm pissed, everything.
Catherine's POV
Something's wrong, we've been driving for a half hour now and she hasn't said a word. She has her hand in mine and it feels cold, distant like, like she's far away in her mind. "Hey, are you ok? Your awfully quiet." She turns her head for a second and then looks back at the road before answering. "I'm fine, just thinking." Something is wrong the look in her eyes says it all. I want to know what she's thinking about but it looks like she doesn't want to tell me.
When we make it home she still hasn't said a word. Something's definitely wrong. "Alright Sara Sidle something's wrong and your going to tell me what it is right now." She always listen when I use this tone. "Come here." When I walk next to her she pulls down into her arms. "The tests that the doctor took, it came back saying that in about eight month's I'll die. My main body functions are slowly deteriorating, that's why my chest and stomach have hurting a lot lately. There's a chance that I may live if I have surgery. The thing is it's a big risk because they don't know if it will effect my body functions." I can't believe what she just said, she might die? No she can't she promised. She promised that she wouldn't leave me or Lindsey.
Tears overwhelm me and I can't take it anymore. I openly cry and feel her arms around me. "Sara you can't, you promised me that you wouldn't leave me or Lindsey." "Hey, come on, I told you I wasn't going to leave you or Lindsey, and I told you that the surgery can save me, if I take that risk then there's a good chance that I'll be with you and Lindsey forever." I believe her, she never breaks her promises. Never does. "You better not leave me or Lindsey if you do I'll personally hunt you down." She grins and gently kisses me. "You won't have to because I'll be right here with both of you."
She gently entwines out hands and I feel a strong connection. "Feel that? That means i'm yours forever and nothing can change that." God she just knows what to say at the right time. "Like I said your stuck with me so you better get use to it." I smile and rest me head on her chest. Our fingers are still entwined and I feel her gently kissing my forehead. I'm hers forever and nothing can change that. "Let's go to bed, its been a long day." I agree with her. When I get up she easily picks me up carries me into our room.
