**A/N Remember I said last chapter that Jr. was advanced. He may only be 3 but he thinks like a 6 year old**

Chapter 14

Do Not Make Me Choose

BPOV

I was about to do the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life. I had to tell my little boy that his sister was sick. Jr . was smart and he would ask all the questions I didn't want to answer. I haven't seen him since Charlie was admitted and I felt like a horrible mother. Quil assured me that was not the case and I walked into Quil's parents' house to deliver the news.

"MOMMY!" My son yelled as he ran into my arms

"Hey baby. Mommy missed you?"

"Me too. Where is everyone?"

This was what I dreaded.

"Mommy where's sissy? Where's daddy?"

"Baby do you remember how I told you Charlie used to be very sick?"

"Yes with lukma"

"Leukemia. Yes. Well it came back again and she is in the hospital"

"NO! I want to see sissy!"

"I will take you in a little bit"

"I thought she got daddy's help"

"She did honey but it doesn't always work. It is more successful with a sibling."

"What is that?"

"A brother or sister"

He looked a little confused for a second.

"I want to do it"

"You want to do what?"

"Help make sissy better. I want to give her my blood"

"That is very sweet honey but you are too young"

"Mommy. I want to do it"

"I know you do"

"Now listen to me. Charlie is in a coma. She looks like she is sleeping."

"Why?"

"Cause she is sick. She will wake up soon"

I hoped.

I know my son is smart and that he is caring, but I couldn't let him do this. He was just a baby.

We drove in silence to the hospital and I could tell his wheels were turning. I knew he wasn't going to keep his idea to himself. Jr. had no verbal filter like his uncles and father.

We got to the hospital and Jr. ran into the building. We got onto the elevator and rode it up to the 5th floor to Charlie's room. I watched as realization set in my son's eyes and tears fell down his face. He walked over to her and kissed her forehead and then went to sit in Quil's lap. It was so sad.

Mommy and daddy were outside talking to the nurse and I was sitting there as I have been for the last few days reading, waiting for sissy to wake up. I could hear my parents starting to come back in the room when I heard the sweetest sound.

"Mom?" Charlie asked hoarsely

"MOMMY! DADDY!" I shouted

"Jr. What is…..Charlie? Oh baby."

"Where am I?"

"You are in the hospital silly. Mommy Charlie is silly"

"Jr. she fainted before she got here so she didn't know"

"Oh"

The doctors came in to look at her and I pulled daddy outside.

"What's up buddy?"

I could tell daddy wanted to be back with Charlie but this was important.

"I want to help"

"You are helping sport"

"No I want to give her my marlow"

"Marrow and no it is too dangerous"

"You did it"

"I am an adult"

"Yeah well your blood didn't help."

Daddy just stood there shocked and I realized what I said.

"Daddy I'm sorry. I didn't mean that"

"I know what you mean Jr. It's ok. I need to get back to your sister"

"Please talk to mommy and the doctors about it"

"Jr."

"Daddy please"

"Ok Ok."

QPOV

I couldn't let my son go through all that. There was no way. He was too young, but I also knew he wouldn't let it go. Unfortunately it turned out we didn't have much of a choice. Charlie's blood work came back and the leukemia was far more advanced than it was last time. If she didn't get a successful transplant she would die. How do Bella and I make that choice? Have one child go through hell or lose our other child? The doctors have said Jr. was at minimal risk. I didn't think we had any other choices.

"Bells?"

"What Quil?"

"I think we need to seriously consider this."

"Quil…."

"Bella I wasn't able to help her. Yes Paul is a match but the chances that Jr's marrow is more of a match are higher."

"Do you have any idea what you are asking me to do? You are asking me to make the choice of putting both my children through hell"

"So you would rather lose Charlie all together? I can't let her die"

"I know. He is just so young. I need time to think"

"You have till Friday and then I am making a decision"

"What?"

"Isabella I am not going to sit on the side lines while you take your time to think. I won't let her die"

"Oh so because you have been in her life for a few years now you think you can just take over. You didn't even want her"

"I can't believe you just fucking said that. You kept her away from me"

"Cause you told me you didn't want us"

"I was fucking 16"

"So was I!"

"That is in the past. I am in her life now Bella and I will not let her die. I don't know why this is even an issue. They said Jr. will be fine. Charlie's life is hanging in the balance"

"Quil Ateara you are an asshole. I love both of my children and it is killing me to know I have to make one child go through surgery to save another. Do you think that is easy?"

"I know it's not, but I will save my daughter and Jr. wants to do it"

"He is a kid. What does he know about the pain he is going to experience"

"Obviously more than you" Oh shit did I just say that?

Bella just looked at me. Tears running down her face. Fuck! I didn't want to fight with her. What the hell is going on here.

"Quil I am going to pretend you didn't say that. You will have my decision tomorrow. We will appear united for the kids' sake but other than that I don't want to have anything to do with you right now. You are way out of line."

"I know I am sorry. I don't know what is wrong with me. I didn't mean anything I said. I love you Bella"

"Ok Quil"

"Bella?"

"You know how I feel about you Quil."

"I need to hear you say it. We have to be ok"

"I do love you and we are certainly not ok. I am going to take a nap while Jake is at the hospital and your mother has Jr. When I get up we can go back to the hospital"

"Do you want me to lay with you"

"No"

I called Paul to talk to him and went to his house for a bit. He punched me when I told him what happened, which I deserved but, damn that mother fucker hits hard. Jake called me after I left Paul's and told me he I would be smart not to come near him. I guess Bella called him. I went back to the house to get Bella and go back to see our daughter.

"What happened to you?"

"Your brother"

"You told him what happened?"

"You told Jake didn't you?"

"Yes, but Paul could have killed you."

"I know"

"Quil I cant be worried about my brother killing my husband right now. Come on let's go talk to the doctors"

"What?"

"I am going to let Jr. do it. It is Charlie's only chance and I can't lose her"

"Ok. Thank you"

"What are you thanking me for?"

"For letting Jr. help"

"I am not doing it for you."

I tried to put my arm around her on the way out and she shrugged me off. I was so screwed and I needed to make it up to her.
