I looked around the apartment for a moment before I looked over at the table. I looked through the mail. "Bill, bill, bill, bill." I said as I dropped each letter one by one till I got to the end. Then I went over and got the phone. I dialed the number I called everyday at this time.

"Hello." The voice said on the other line. It was Maggie, my mother's nurse.

"How is she doing today?" I asked as I filled the sink with water to do dishes.

"She has slept most the day. She is taking her shower now." She answered.

"That's good." I said as I remembered how much it hurt when my mother told us she was sick. Then the word cancer meant nothing to me. That's back when I thought my mother would never die. She like superman, nothing could bring her down. Now I pray every night for just a couple more days. "I am going to bring Flynn up tomorrow." I said as I turned the water off and started on dishes.

"She will love that." Maggie said.

"Tell her I love her." I said softly.

"I will." She said.

"Goodbye." I said before I hung up. I looked out the window as I finished the dishes. Then I walked to the bathroom. I started running water for a bath. This is where I would call Rocky to come down and keep me from losing it. However, Rocky left for Columbia last week. So, now I just lock myself in the bathroom until my tears are gone. I try my hardest to make things easier on Flynn. That's what I was doing when I heard Flynn and Gary get back.

"CeCe where are you?" I heard Gary call from the hallway.

"She is probably in the bathroom." I hear Flynn say.

"CeCe you in there?" I heard Gary call from outside the door.

"Yeah, I will be out in a minute." I said as I grabbed a towel.

"Okay." He said as I heard his footsteps walking away. I walked out into the living room to see Gary and Flynn making a homemade pizza.

"Look CeCe, real food not microwavable junk." Flynn said with a smile.

"Yummy." I said as I walked over to them. "Needs one thing." I said as I looked down at their creation.

"What could it possibly need?" Gary asked as he looked down at the pizza.

"More cheese." I said with a smile as I grabbed for the bag of cheese. I sprinkled some more cheese on it then said "Perfect."

"Now it has to cook." Gary said as he placed it in the oven. I followed him with my eyes. I could tell that Flynn loved him. "Oh and I got something for you." He said as he walked over to the cabinet. He pulled out a thing of flowers. "I found the vase in the cabinet." He said as he handed them to me. I looked down at the flowers. They were my favorite crazy daisies.

"You really shouldn't have." I said as grabbed them. I walked them over to the kitchen table I placed them in the middle.

"Well, Flynn here told me they were your favorite." He said as he walked over to me.

"They are." I said as he gave me a hug. I looked into his eyes. Shit, one day and he has me actually starting to fall for him. Maybe it's just because he could be what could hold my family together. I could tell he was leaning in for a kiss. I wiggled out of his arms. "How about we have pajama movie night, like we used to?" I asked Flynn.

"I get to pick the movie." He said before he took off to his room.

"I don't have any pajamas." Gary said with a sad face.

"Come on, I think I might have something that fits." I walked towards my room. I opened the door and walked straight to the closet. I fished out what I was looking for. "These were my dads." I said as I threw him a pair of pajama bottoms. Then I walked over to my dresser and there in the bottom drawer was on of Ty's old shirts. "Here." I said as I threw that at him. I watched as he shut the door.

"Can we talk?" He asked as he sat down on the bed.

"What?" I asked as I looked at him.

"Why didn't you mention your mom is sick?" He asked.

"It's not something you just throw out there." I said as I turned back to my dresser and started rummaging threw it. Then I felt his arms around me.

"We are getting married you have to be able to tell me anything." He said as I turned around.

"Why? The only reason you're doing this is so you can stay in the country." I said as I pulled away from him.

"I choose you because there is something special about you. If I just wanted desperate I would have asked Tinka." He said.

"You think there is something special about me?" I asked as I looked over at him.

"Of course. You're so strong and sweet, so crazy and lovable." He said as he looked at me. "And don't get me started on how hot you are."

"You really think this is going to work?" I asked as I looked over to him. But, before he could answer I heard someone knocking on the door. I walked into the living room to see Flynn just sitting on the sofa. "Why didn't you answer the door?" I asked as I walked passed him. I opened the door to see Dina.

"I can't take it anymore!" She screamed as she walked in. "There is so much crying, so so much crying." I could tell she had a rough day because she stood in my living room in her pajamas and a bath robe with her hair a complete mess.

"Calm down Gaby will out of this phase in no time." I said as I placed my hand on her shoulder.

"I wasn't talking about the baby, I was talking about Duce." She said with a laugh.

"Come on I will make some coffee. After all I think that is in the job title for best friend." I said as I led her to the kitchen. I saw Gary appear in the hallway in the pajamas I loaned him.

"Everything okay in here?" He asked as he walked into the kitchen.

"Just fine." I said as I pulled me close. "Dina this is Gary." I said but she cut me off.

"I know Gary." She said as she looked at me.

"Let me finish. This is Gary, my boyfriend." I said as I leaned my head on his shoulder.

"Shut up!" She yelled. "You're with him."

"Yes she is." He said. "I am a lucky guy." He said as he looked at me.

"Hello, its movie night. Someone needs to be watching this monster movie with me." Flynn said from the sofa.

"I will." Gary said as he let go of me.
