Sorry for the short chapter I hope it will do until next week, that chapter is longer then this one. An di belive this is the shortest chapter of the story hopefully! Thanks for the reviews you guys! I'm so glad you like it!

Well sit back and enjoy the chapter!

Soon but not soon enough for Archie an ambulance arrived. Archie was able to ride with Edith to the hospital, thanks to Barney who was able to come over and take care of "Rosemary." Now Archie was doing the hardest part of all, the waiting for the news.

After pacing the floor for what seemed like years, he finally sat down and tried to relax, but that became almost impossible when a familiar song played from a near by radio.

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.

As the song finished Archie leaned his head back, against the blue wall behind him. Looking skyward, his eyes becoming misty he began to speak his voice becoming a bit shakier with each word. "Oh Lord, youse can't take Edith…youse just can't. Youse and me both knows I can't make it without her." He stopped to take a deep breath fighting back his tears. "She's still gotta do lotta things. And ain't just talking about for me, for youse too." He paused once more, "And I still gotta a lotta things…I can do for her." He said softly.

Just then Sydney, but as he preferred to be called much to Archie's disagreement Dr. Shapiro, walked into the room. "Mr. Bunker?"

Upon hearing his name Archie looked over at the doctor, looking for so sort of sign from him. Seeing nothing he took at a deep breath and grabbing his hat, stood up and walked over to Dr. Shapiro.
