A/N: The end is near my dears. Quite near indeed...

Mitchie felt a pressure grow in her chest as she answered the phone.
Her hand covered her mouth.
She let out a soft sob as they told her what happened.
As she was informed on what happened to Shane.
And how he was dying.
–
The steady beep of his heart monitor was the only thing letting anyone know the man was still alive.
This was common.
He was middle aged.
He was stressed.
It was to be expected.
He was pale in his bed.
His broken chest wrapped up.
Tubes surrounding him.
One for food.
One for air.
So many tubes.
They knew he was going to die.
He had almost no time left.
His heart didn't want to work anymore.
They couldn't keep him on machines for life.
They were going to try surgery.
And hope for the best.
But they all knew the truth.
He probably wouldn't even make it through that.

Mitchie sat next to him.
She never imagined that Shane Grey of all people would be lying in a hospital bed one day.
Dying.
She knew it happened to everyone.
But she simply could never imagine it for Shane.
Shane was...
He was incredible.
All the crap she put him through.
He trudged through it.
All the crap life threw at him.
He acted as if it wasnt happening.
Everything always worked out for Shane.
But as Mitchie sat there letting tears flow freely.
She realized.
That the adoption.
Was perhaps the last time things would work out for Shane.
