5. You are the best friends I have.
"See, we are going to spend all these days watching Grey's anatomy." Scully sat next to her on the bed "McDreamy is going to get you trough the hard days."
Melinda gave a soft smile. She was getting weaker by the day. The cancer was spreading in her body very fast. Melinda kept her eyes open, watching the TV.
"This is fun." Melinda smiled. She rested her head against "No, McDreamy, can you choose Meredith."
"We both know he's going to go for Addy!" Scully laughed. There was a soft nod, Brennan walked in the room. She had been crying. She sat down right next to Scully in the chair.
"See, Tempe." Melinda said, "McDreamy is going to go for Addy, Scully said.
Brennan nodded. Melinda and Scully were both on the bed, laughing. They were like silly little children. Melinda seemed very sick, but she tried to hide it very well. She had a small smile on her face. Brennan did not want to look at them. She felt that Scully was acting a bit to joyful. She could not act that way.
"Tempe, what's up?" Melinda asked, "Why are you so down?"
"Well, you are laughing about McDreamy and McSteamy and McAddison about their Mclife." Brennan was very panicked "But in case you didn't notice if you don't find a donor, you're going to die."
Melinda gave her a mad look. "Don't you think I don't know that?" Melinda gave her another look. "The results of the puncture came back this morning.I have leukemia; we are looking for a donor. Why can't I just forget for a couple hours I'm going to die, and watch Grey's anatomy with my friends, why can't you that with me." "Because…" Brennan watched her "Because I can not bear losing you. You are my friend."
"So start being my friend!" Melinda yelled, "Zach is telling me I'm going to die all the time. In addition, my grandmother is dropping by; she will tell me that I am going to die. I just do not want you to tell me that I am going to die. I just want one hour in the day when I am not going to die. I just want to not die, and watch Grey's anatomy the way we always did, when I was not going to die."
"I'm sorry." Brennan saw that she needed to be a friend. She saw the anger in her eyes. She knew that the anger was fear. Brennan sat down.
"Oh, it's George!" She yelled "George with his nice ass."
"He has a great ass." Scully looked at Brennan. She looked grateful. She saw that Melinda was smiling again. She had a beautiful smile. Brennan was a bit concerned about her behavior. However, she needed to be a friend to Melinda right now.
"So I bet that by the end of the episode, McDreamy and Meredith will be together." Brennan replied
"Nah, like the end of the season." Scully said "Prom time."
"Too bad!" Brennan replied when she turned to Melinda, "McDreamy and Meredith are just too cute together. It is like you and Zach. You and Mulder."
"You and Booth." Scully and Melinda said together. They ware laughing and smiling for the next 20 minutes. Dr. Brennan left the room. She was not able to laugh anymore. She had forgotten how she felt, and tried to feel something ells. Scully was still sitting beside her. She was better in pretending. Some of the team had gone trough the tests. The results were going to come in one of the days. Brennan had not yet go trough the test.
"Doctor." Brennan stepped to the doctor. "Could I test if I could be a donor for Melinda Ryan please?"
"Sure." Brennan followed the doctor to his office. "I'm telling you what I told the rest. The chance that you are a donor is not very big. However, it is there. We did not find anyone. We know that using donors from people who are not relatives is very risky. But we have no other choice. It's sad you know. Her whole family is gone, and a girl like that has to deal with his."
"Yeah she's been trough enough. " Brennan had her arms crossed over her chest. "So the grandmother? Could she be a possible donor?"
"Well, the closer family the better." The doctor explained. "Best donors are usually the sister, brother. They have a close DNA to the patient. Parents are a good possibility. Getting farther away from the patient makes it harder to find that resemblance. Sometimes it happens that friends are great donors. It's to bad that her twin sister is gone. I mean she would have been the perfect donor."
