Chapter 18

"So what did he say?" Bryanna asked Sam once they got her dried off. Still wondering how Sam got so wet and why she was late. But she didn't say a word about how Jake forgot her. And she wasn't protecting him.

"Who?" Sam asked as she sat down on the couch with a towel around her shoulders.

"Dr. Morton." Wyatt filled.

Just thinking about it made Sam want to cry. " He said that I indeed do need surgery."

The room fell silent. Bryanna and Grace had tears running down there faces. Even Wyatt looked pretty shooked up. Grace got up and left the room. Sam thought she heard Blaze barking but could of been wrong.

"When is it?" There was the sound of footsteps then Jake appeared. Behind him was his mom, Maxine, and his brother Quinn.

"Three weeks. It is on a saturday." Sam answered. Not making eye contact with anyone. Quinn came over and sat beside Sam putting his arm around her shoulder. Sam couldn't hold it anymore. She cried into his shoulder while Quinn mumbled to her. Jake watched them. He wanted to be that person with his arm around Sam. Then kicked himself for even thinking that. That wasn't the point of him being here. He came to apologize to Sam. And try to patch things with her. And figure out whats going to happen. There was only one little problem. He didn't know.

Sam cried into Quinn's shoulder. About everything. She didn't know how and why this was happening. She didn't know how much more she could take. Before-before she broke down. She has been trying for so long to keep it in and be strong. But she couldn't anymore. She just didn't have the strength. It was just all getting to compicated. And she knew she couldn't last much longer. And it scared her.

Congradulations Samantha" Dr. Morton walked it. "The surgery was an success!"

Sam looked groggly up at the tall man. "Oh, goody."

Wyatt looked strangly at his daughter than at the doctor.

"Drugs haven't worn off yet." Dr. Morton finished the unsaid question. "Mr. Forster, may I have a word?"

"Certainly." Wyatt walked out of the hospital room where Sam lay sleeping and recovering from the major surgery that she had just recieved.

"Sir, we have to have your permission for a CATS scan." Scott asked once they were in the hallway.

"You didn't need it for the first one."

"Yes, thats because we had a reason." Scott answered.

"Then why do you need another?" Wyatt looked confused.

"Well, just in case."

"Of what?" He looked really confused now.

"Of everything."

"I thought the tumor was gone now..."

"It is I assure you. Its just because I want to make sure everything is ok." Scott let him know.

"Fine. Just do your thing." Wyatt nodded at him and went back into the room.

Later that day Sam looked up as she was being pushed into this long machine. Then she wore this heavy almost jacket as they took x-rays. Why are they doing this again?

"Whats going on? Where's Sam?" Jake walked into the Sam-less room. The one she was supposed to be in. But instead it was just Wyatt.

"Um, they are doing some x-rays and another CATS scan." He answered as he laid his head in his hands.

"Why? Whats wrong?" Jake was getting upset now. What happened?

"Nothing, the surgery was a success. And they just want to make sure that everything is ok."

"Oh, is she almost done?"

"I think so." As Wyatt said that he saw Sam being wheeled in on a bed. The nurses carefully guided it back into its rightfull spot. They both sat beside Sam as she slept.

"Dr. Morton! Come quick!" One of the male nurses yelled from the x-ray room. Scott finished up what he was doing with one of his patients and went to see what was wrong this time.

"What is it?"

"That young girl's pictures are back from the CATS scan and x-rays. You have to see this." He answered as he motioned to the black and white pictures on the walls.

"Holy Shit." Was the only thing that could come out of the doctors mouth.
