Reyna walked through the store with Stormie smiling. "where should we go first?" Reyna asked "let's get you some toys then some clothes then some sheets and curtains and other stuff for decorating" Stormie smiled "ok" Reyna smiled and walked down the toy isle. "how about a doll house?" Stormie asked pointing out a barbie house. Reyna put the doll house in the bottom part of the cart then got a few more barbies, a toy cash register and a play shopping cart full of plastic food, some stuffed animals and a toy doctor kit. "let's go get you some clothes" Stormie smiled and they went to the clothing store after they paid for the toys.
Reyna walked through the isles of clothes then looked at Stormie. "gramma Storms I don't know my size" Reyna said "let me check those clothes" Stormie said and looked at the tags of her current clothes. After finding the section with her size Reyna chose lots of shirts, some pants, some shorts, some skirts, some belts, hats, bracelets, socks, underwear, a few different jackets and a few different pairs of shoes. "Thank you gramma" Reyna smiled "no problem sweetie" Stormie smiled and they went to go get stuff to decorate her room.
"ok which sheets do you want?" Stormie asked "I like the teal ones and the cool black and white blanket on top" Reyna smiled "ok get it" Stormie smiled so Reyna threw the stuff in the cart. "ok you have a bed, a desk, a book shelf and a closet so let's get storage for your toys, curtains and some wall decorations" Stormie smiled "ok, the curtains are right here and I like these ones" Reyna smiled holding teal ones that matched her sheets "ok" Stormie smiled then they got everything on the list.
four hours later Reyna's room looked like a girl's room instead of an abandoned college student's room. "yay! I love it so much! thank you gramma! I love you!" Reyna cheered looking around the room. They heard the front door open so Reyna ran out to see everyone was home. "Daddy! Daddy! your home!" Reyna smiled and ran downstairs. She hugged her dads and smiled "hey baby girl, how was shopping?" Rocky asked "Come see my room. it's really cool and I love it so much" Reyna smiled trying to drag Rocky along. Riker walked up behind Reyna and picked her up. "hey bear" Riker smiled "hey daddy" Reyna smiled and kissed his cheek. "let's go see how your room looks" Riker smiled and carried Reyna upstairs.
Riker walked in and smiled "it looks great, now you have to remember to keep it clean so your toys stay nice and your clothes don't get ruined" Rocky said "ok, I will try to make sure it stays clean" Reyna smiled "good" Riker smiled "daddy play with me" Reyna smiled "ok. what are we going to play?" Riker smiled "doctor" Reyna smiled "ok, at least I won't actually be dying" Riker shrugged "ok now lay on the bed so I can figure out what's wrong with you" Reyna smiled so Riker laid down. "can I go downstairs and talk to Ellington or do I have to play?" Rocky asked "you can leave, we'll pretend you're at doctor school so you can help me later" Reyna smiled "ok" Rocky chuckled and left.
Riker laid on the bed and smiled at Reyna. "umm let's see, you're heart is fine. you don't have a fever and your blood thingy isn't high" Reyna said trying to act like a doctor. "then what's wrong with me?" Riker asked "you're suffering from lack of vitamin me!" Reyna smiled "how do I get these vitamins?" Riker asked "by hugs!" Reyna smiled and hugged Riker. "yay you're all better!" Reyna smiled and laid next to Riker. "I'm glad because I don't like being sick" Riker chuckled "but aren't you sick?" Reyna asked "yes, I have lung cancer, that's why I have to be on oxygen and that's why I was in the hospital" Riker explained "what's cancer?" Reyna asked "it's a deadly sickness that nobody really has the cure for" Riker explained and Reyna hugged him. "I'll find a cure for you so you can be all better and not be sick any more" Reyna "ok" Riker sighed and hugged Reyna. Riker got the tight feeling in his chest again so he looked at Reyna. "Reyna go get daddy" Riker commanded getting out of breath "tell him I need him now" Riker said standing up. "Daddy are you ok?" Reyna asked looking at Riker. She watched as he collapsed on the floor.
Reyna started freaking out so she ran to the stairs. "Daddy! someone! Help!" Reyna screamed through the house so Rocky came flying up the stairs soon followed by everyone else. "Reyna what happened?" Rocky asked "Daddy, he's on the floor" Reyna sobbed so Rocky looked around ask saw Riker passed out on the floor. "shit. Ross help me" Rocky commanded Reyna stood there sobbing scared and worried.
Ellington saw Reyna standing there sobbing because she was worried about Riker. Ellington walked over and hugged Reyna. "he's going to be ok" Ellington told Reyna. "Ellington please watch her, we have to take him to the hospital" Rocky said "ok, I can watch her" Ellington said and they watched Rocky carry Riker out to the car. Reyna went upstairs and looked for her big blue hoodie. "I can't find it. where's my blue hoodie?" Reyna asked "I don't know, I didn't know you had a blue hoodie what did it look like?" Ellington asked "it was my daddy's, I can't find it. I lost it" Reyna said and started to cry. "hey it's ok, someone probably picked it up and put it somewhere but guess what, Riker's my best friend so I know that he has tons of hoodies and he wouldn't mind if you borrowed one until you found yours" Ellington said so Reyna nodded. Ellington went into Riker and Rocky's room and grabbed one of Riker's hoodies.
Reyna sat on the couch curled up inside of the hoodie crying. "hey Reyna, why don't we go do something to help you get your mind off things" Ellington said "like what?" Reyna asked poking her head out of the head hole. "we could make cookies" Rydel suggested "no thanks" Reyna sighed "we could walk on the beach" Ellington said "no thanks" Reyna sighed "we could watch a movie" Rydel suggested "I guess we could" Reyna sighed "what do you want to watch?" Rydel asked "umm how about we have a harry potter marathon" Reyna suggested "ok" Rydel agreed and turned on the first Harry potter movie. Reyna cuddled close to Ellington and stared at the tv.
They were in the middle of the fourth movie when someone opened the front door. Reyna looked back to see her dads. "daddy!" Reyna smiled and wiggled out of Ellington's arms. She hugged Riker and smiled up at him. He didn't smile back at her or call her bear or baby girl. "Daddy what's wrong?" Reyna asked and all Riker did was hug her. "baby I love you and no matter what happens to me I want you to continue being yourself and promise me one thing" Riker said "what?" Reyna asked "you will change the world, big or small it doesn't matter but I know you can" Riker said "I promise" Reyna smiled and hugged Riker. "I love you Reyna" Riker said through tears. "Daddy what's wrong?" Reyna asked "sweetie the doctor told me he's not sure my body will be able to hold up with cancer and he said I only have six months left to live" Riker explained and Reyna started crying. "no! NO! NO! you have to live! you have longer than that! you have a whole long life left! you can't die!" Reyna cried. Riker hugged her again. Reyna clung to Riker and sobbed. "I love you, please don't die" Reyna sobbed. "I love you too Reyna and I promise I won't go any sooner. I can't promise that I will live through it" Riker sniffled. Rocky just stood there saying nothing with tears sliding down his cheeks.
Dinner was dead silent that night. nobody said anything about anything.
Reyna laid in her bed and cried. Ellington heard her so he went into her room. He sat next to her and hugged her. "I don't want to loose my daddy" Reyna sobbed hugging Ellington. "I don't want to loose him either. he's my best friend and I honestly don't know what I'd do with out him" Ellington said Reyna let go of Ellington and walked down the hallway to her dads' room. she walked in and crawled in bed with them. Rocky hugged her and sniffled. "I love you" Rocky whispered. "I love you too" Reyna whispered and fell asleep.
Reyna woke up and both her dads were gone. she got up and went downstairs. Rydel walked up and hugged Reyna. "what happened?" Reyna asked seeing everyone was sad. "we should let your dad explain it to you" Rydel said "where are my dads?" Reyna asked and everyone looked at each other. Reyna got what they were saying and ran upstairs in tears.
Reyna put Riker's hoodie on and hid inside of it and sobbed while sitting on her bed. "Reyna open the door please" Rydel said "no! leave me alone!" Reyna cried "Reyna please open the door" Ross said "leave me alone! I want my daddy!" Reyna screamed.
Ross texted Rocky so he came home. She won't come out" Rydel sighed so Rocky walked upstairs to Reyna's room. "Reyna open the door, it's daddy" Rocky said so Reyna got up and unlocked the door. She hugged Rocky and cried. "where's daddy?" Reyna asked in tears. "Reyna, daddy's cancer is hitting him hard and he's in the hospital right now. he can barely talk or move, he is under strict watch and we have to be very careful around him" Rocky explained "he's not gone?" Reyna asked "no sweetie, he's still alive. he's fighting for us" Rocky explained "can I go see him?" Reyna asked "yeah, let's go" Rocky sighed and picked up Reyna. "are you wearing one of his hoodies?" Rocky asked so Reyna nodded. "ok" Rocky sighed and got int the car.
Reyna walked down the long hospital hall and they stopped at a room. Rocky walked int with Reyna and looked at Riker. "Daddy" Reyna choked out seeing Riker barely alive with wires and tubes going to his body. "hey bear" Riker managed to get out. Reyna ran over and hugged him. "I love you daddy. you have to keep your promise please" Reyna cried. "I'll try, for you" Riker said weakly. Reyna kissed Riker's cheek so Riker kissed her forehead. Rocky looked at Riker and just broke into a million tiny pieces. "Riker I love you so much, please please please fight this for us. I need you to function. with out you I'm lost, I can't see, I can't think, I can't sing because you are my world and I can't live with out you. I need you" Rocky cried "I love you" Riker whispered weakly "Riker, I'm broken. I need you to be ok. I'm broken because I know I'm not making you the happiest you can be and I feel like I'm failing at everything" Rocky sobbed "this isn't your fault" Riker said "I love you" Rocky cried.
Reyna sat on Rocky's lap in a chair next to Riker and they just sat there hoping Riker would be ok.
