Kelly, Brandon, Valerie, Donna, David, Steve, Deanna and Dylan all just sat around the living room keeping an eye on Brenda and talking.
"Do you think Mom will be alright?" Deanna finally asked. It was the question that has been weighing on her mind for so long and she finally voiced her fear. She knew better than anyone that keeping something inside like that would tear a person up.
Dylan looked over at his daughter and saw the worry, concern, and fear in her eyes and he said "I'll make sure that she is. We'll make sure that she has the best Doctor's. She can beat this honey and we'll make sure of it."
Brandon nodded and looked at his niece. "You're father is right sweetie. We won't let your Mom give up. We all love her too much. In fact I have an idea."
At that everyone's head snapped towards Brandon and Kelly said "What is your idea baby?"
Brandon smiled. "I think we should call Andrea. She is a Doctor after all and she will be able to help us understand what it is Brenda needs. Plus I think it would be a big plus to have someone helping on her case that Brenda actually knows and trust."
Everyone smiled and nodded at that. They all agreed that it would probably help Brenda so Brandon got up and went to make the call leaving everyone else to talk among themselves.
Kelly looked at the sleeping Brenda and sighed. "I wished we would have known sooner then we could have done something to help her. Maybe if we had known it wouldn't have gotten this bad."
Deanna looked over at Kelly and said "Aunt Kelly you can't blame yourself. Mom mad Aunt Val and me both swear not to tell anyone. She was afraid that you all would look at her differently or treat her differently. Besides that she thought that she was getting better but it seems as if instead of getting better she has gotten worse."
Valerie nodded. "She didn't want anyone to know including Jim and Cindy. She hates it when people worry about her. What she has never seem to gotten through her head is that we all worry about her anyways because we love her. You all know how hard headed and stubborn Brenda is and can be. When she found out that she had a tumor she tried to hide her head in the sand. Now she can't do that anymore so we have to move forward from here. Looking back isn't going to do any of us any good. We need to focus on the here and now and get Brenda through this."
Donna nodded. "I agree with Deanna and Val. We can't blame ourselves because if we do then we are not helping Brenda at all. Right now she needs all of our love and support."
Dylan looked at the woman he loved with pain in his eyes and then he looked back at everyone else. "I don't know about you all but I do know that when it comes time for her Doctor's appointments that I for one am going with her. She's not going to go through this alone any longer."
Kelly nodded. "I'll be going too. She is going to need all the support we can give her."
Donna nodded. "I'm right there also."
Valerie smiled. "I sure as hell am going. Brenda's always been like a sister to me and helping me through things. Now it's time to repay everything she has ever done for me."
David smiled as he said "I'll be there too. She was always there when I needed someone to talk too now it's my turn to be there for her."
Steve looked at everyone and said "I will most definitely be there. She'll need some kind of comic relief."
Everyone laughed at that and Deanna said "She has never let me go with her before but this time she isn't shutting me out. I may only be ten years old but I'm a lot smarter than my age. I'm tired of her not telling me things. I want to be there too."
Dylan glanced at his daughter. "If that is what you want honey then that is what you will get. You're right you shouldn't be shut out. You have a right to know what is going on with your Mom."
Deanna smiled at her Dad and then shocked him by saying "Thank you Daddy."
Dylan's heart stopped in his chest when he heard his daughter call him Daddy. He loved the sound of that word coming from her. It hit him like a ton of bricks then that he really was a father. He had a daughter with the woman that he loved. If he was lucky maybe they would eventually have another child if she could after all the treatment that she had to go through.
"What are you thinking so heavily about Dylan?" Kelly asked. She had watched the emotions flicker over his face even as he smiled.
Dylan looked from Deanna to Kelly and finally said "It just hit me that I really am a father. I mean after I left here I knew that I was but hearing Deanna call me Daddy just made it all the more real for me. I'm a father and the mother of my child is the one woman who has always had my heart even when I didn't realize it."
Kelly chuckled a little bit. "You know Dylan even when we were together I always thought that eventually you would end up with Brenda. I'm just sorry that it took all this to make you realize it. I'm just sorry for all the years we have all wasted by not being in her life. At least now we are all finally back together again."
Dylan nodded but didn't say anything because in that minute Brenda's eyes fluttered open and she looked at him and breathed "You came back."
