Cancer was the only word Nathan heard. It sent his mind reeling he had heard of childhood cancer but he hadn't realize it could happen to his kid. His eight year old had cancer. Nathan held onto Hayley even tighter as they listened to the surgeon's report.

"We got 95.5% out but I didn't want to risk taking any more as it was too close to the stem and would have risked permanent face damage. We were very lucky that we did not have to put a stint in his head and as far as treatment options. He needs to go through radiation and then chemo. We can do it at this hospital. But Mr. Scott your son is a candidate for St. Jude's and can be treated there if you so choose. Radiation would work very much the same here as it would at St. Jude's. Chemo however is different. Here we do smaller doses every few months for 9 months. At St. Jude's the chemo would be far more aggressive but would only last for 4 to 6 months. However Mr. Scott these decisions do not need to be made today. Your son is down in recovery. If you and your wife will come with me, I will take you in to him and you may sit with him. He will be moved into ICU soon. "

Lucas sat there he didn't know what to say. He was a writer words were his life but do you say when an eight year old has cancer? He locked eyes with his mom and she gave him a weak smile as she held a crying Deb in her arms. As he looked around the room he saw the tears in everyone's eyes Jamie had cancer… the day just didn't seem real. Would the world ever be normal again?

Brooke crouched in a corner. She felt bad for running she just couldn't stay in the room any longer. Cancer. NO! NO! NO! She thought this can't be happening her mind went back to the day she had heard the same words from another doctor's mouth.

"Chase I 'm worried what if it's something bad?"

"Baby, I promise whatever it is we'll get through it together don't worry ok. I love you." Then he had kissed her. They parted just as the doctor walked in the room.

"Mr. and Mrs. Adams I am so glad that you could both come on such short notice. As you both know we ran a series of tests on Mr. Adams. I am sorry to say that Mr. Adams has Leukemia."

Brooke started crying again at the memory and that's how Peyton found her best friend.

"Hey, B. Adams. It's going to be ok. You've come so far and you have been so strong it's going to be alright." Peyton said as she bent down to hold her friend.

"I'm sorry Peyton. I know I should have stayed in there…. I just heard the word cancer and oh Peyton I just miss him so much and every day I see him in…"

"In Logan. I know and B you always will and hearing the word cancer will probably always make you cry but you don't have to be ashamed. We all know it was hard on you being here today and Nathan and Hayley were thankful for it but let's get you home to that little boy of yours. He needs his mommy and hey we don't want him to fall in love with my daughter just yet."

"Your right. Your right."

Peyton held Brooke all the way to the car and it wasn't until they we're in the car and on their way that either of them spoke.

"Peyton, I wish my last memory of Chase was when he was healthy and not the day he died."

"Then make it be Brooke. I don't remember Ellie for the day I found her. I remember her for how she taught me to live. Chase did the same for you. He taught you a lot, gave you a lot and he left you with the best thing in the world."

"Once again you are right. Chase was the greatest and I am glad I got to be the one that stood by him as he battled leukemia and I most thankful that he gave me Logan and that he got to spend time with his son before he died. Sometimes I just still go back to the day after, the day the medicine came and it was too late. "

"Brooke I know, I know and you probably will for a while if not forever. I know I still think that if I had just gotten the CDs a day earlier or left five minutes sooner, hadn't been stuck in traffic…anything. I might have been able to save Ellie, at least for a little longer. Cancer is bad Brooke and it has taken so much from all of us already but we're not letting it take anymore. You did all you could for Chase just as I did for my mom. The medicine it might have helped him for a few days and then again it might not have so please don't dwell on it.

"Thanks Peyton, I don't know what I would do without you. I really don't. You have helped me so much in this past year."

"I love you, B. Adams I would buy the moon for you if I could."

"And I love you too but oh I've missed my little boy today"

The girls got out of the car and ran into the house, they missed their babies!

Ok so I am still learning out to write fan fiction and how to post them and everything. I'm sorry if the characters aren't dead on but I wanted them to grow up just a little.

Please review and let me know of anything I can improve on but please be nice .
