"Nikki your all bone" Tom said feeling her body
"don't tom…ive not eaten in about a week chemo and radio is really taking its toll"
The three kids came in seeing the hoodied person on the sofa wondering what the hell was going on.
"Right me and sian are here to support you three whilst tom give you the news"
"whos that?" Amy asked pointing to the hooded person
"its me amz" Nikki said putting her hood down
"mom…" Amy said shocked
"mom" Evie said
"Me and your mom we've got a bit of sad news to share"
"tom let me do it" Nikki said welling up a bit.
Tom nodded squeezing her hand.
"Tom thought I was with another man, im not…to be honest I wish I was, at least it would be better but I love tom so much I didn't want to leave I never did, in fact im desperate for support"
"Mom whats going on you've changed your thin, you've cut your hair" Evie asked
Amy knew what was coming and stood up walking out
"Amz"
"I was waiting for you to tell us I saw a letter in your bag in my lesson, when you went to the toilet I got out your bag and shoved it in my pocket…ive known for a few days mom, I just need a bit of space mom, I know im supposed the big older sister in this but its terrifying just let me have some space please mom"
"can sian go with you or Rachel?"
"Rachel can" Amy said walking out followed by Rachel
Amy just burst into tears as she made it into the waiting area for the office, Rachel wrapped her arms around the sixth form girl.
"Mom whats going on tell us"
"Ive got cervical cancer Evie, its why I couldn't have a baby"
"what…are you gonna die?" Evie asked as she welled up
Nikki held back tears "the plans not too" she smiled "but I could possibly yeah"
"Josh…You alright mate" Tom asked
"I need to get out of here I need to get out now I need to get out" Josh said
Tom pulled him out of the office and into an empty classroom. Josh picked up a chair and threw it.
"Josh!" Tom said
"Why dad!" He cried "Why is every woman you with doomed! Why!" he said chucking another chair
"Josh just calm down"
"I cant believe you knew! You knew everything!" Josh said punching the wall.
"I didn't josh I found out today"
"Lies!" He said punching the glass making it smash and cut all his arm.
Josh broke down and sat on the floor. Tom went and wrapped his arm around him, Josh did the same.
"Have your had your tablets today?"
Josh shook his head
"take one now, ill go get a bandage and that for your arm"
Tom had blood all over his shirt.
Evie began to cry. Nikki stood up and walked over to her holding her into her.
"im still your mom Evie weather im here…or up there" Nikki cried
Rachel came in with amy "shes alright now"
"come here amz" Nikki said as amy dived into her other arm "im fighter girls…I can pull through, we all can alright"
Both nodded.
Tom came back with josh blood over the pair of them.
"oh my god what happened?" Rachel asked
Josh put his fist through a window
"oh right"
"I'm seeing my consultant tomorrow, his doing some more tests. Then we will know when the surgery is"
"What surgery will you have?" Evie asked
"I have three lumps in my womb 2 cancerous one ovarian cist. There gonna remove all of them, if they cant get the lumps out then a historectomy will take place meaning there wont be a chance ever of having a baby" Nikki cried a bit "but I have three wonderful children already, and been alone for the past week makes me realise how much ive missed you, I want to move back in, but your see me deteriate rapidly in the coming weeks, ill be sick, ill be tired constantly, I could even lose all my hair, I will get even thinner as eatings an issue but your not worry, if you want to see what happens in radio therapy and chemo therapy then im happy to take you to come watch, its makes me very poorly girls and boy…im on tablets and there looking at blendid food or soup for me to eat."
"mom…is there anyway you could die at home on your own?" Evie asked tears in her eyes
"no darling…you will know if im gonna go…ill be in hospital or a hospice and I refuse to let any of you go to school, I wanna spend my last days with you if it comes to that, if I die I want you all there" nikki cried
Nikki crying set off tom, josh, amy and Evie.
