Last chance

Becky
I sat up in my hospital bed, after another long night of nightmares. Conveniently just as I woke up Seth bounded through my hospital door, with a huge smile on his face. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I just rolled my eyes at him, as he pulled the blinds open, quite literally blinding me. "You know I hate fun and birthdays and light!" I poured at him and he just came over and kissed the frown off my face. "I was thinking, maybe I could sneak you out tonight. I've got an empty house, if you know what I mean..." He rested his forehead against mine gently as he placed my present down on the bed. "Or you know we could ask?" He shook his head. "But sneaking you out is so much more romantic..." I raised my eyebrows at him as I pushed him away slightly. "Just give me my present and I'll think about it." He handed me a box and I shook it, but it didn't make any noise. "You're not going to be able to guess...just open it Becks." I tore off the paper and I saw an amazon box, filled with three other oddly wrapped presents. "I thought we just said one!" I spoke scornfully and he just shrugged his shoulders. "Honey when did we agree that, because I honestly don't remember?" He spoke playfully as I took the first present out of the box. It was slightly heavy but was still small, I tore the paper off and I was met with an iPhone box. "No way! You really shouldn't have..."

"Oh honey, the presents only get better. That one was just because yours is shit." He winked at me and I looked questionably around the box, until I picked another present out. "Ooh if you don't like this one...I'll have it." I opened it and I saw Seth's favourite hoodie. "I thought since you always steal this jumper I could give it to you." He had an almost worried look on his face, which was soon diminished as I pulled the hoodie on and it smelt just like him, just like home. "Come on you've got another present to go!" I pulled out the final present and it just felt like a book. I ripped the wrapping paper off and was met with a photo album. I opened it and I saw pictures, of me and my dad, me and Seth...me and Millie. Tears sprung to my eyes as I flicked through each page. "Do...do you not like it?" I closed the book as tears rolled down my face. "No...Seth I love it, it's perfect thank you for doing this."

"Well actually we're not done, I have one last present. This one is really special." He stood up from the bed and riffled through his jacket, I went to look away but he got down on one knee. "Rebecca Quin...I know we're still young but I love you more than I'll ever be able to put into words. You're so incredible and strong, you inspire me to be a better person and I love you. So please will you marry me?" Another round of tears poured down my face as I looked at him. "Yes...I'll marry you." He (with much struggling), managed to slip the ring onto my finger. It really is beautiful, rose gold with a diamond in the middle. I lifted his chin and I leant down to kiss him, he wrapped his arms around me as tears ran down his own face. "I love you Colby Lopez..." I kissed his cheek as a tear fell down. "I love you too Becky Quin, soon to be Lopez."

"Ahem..."

Seth
We broke away and a team of Becky's doctors stood at the door. Becky's grip on my hand suddenly intensified as if she'd been waiting for this to happen all day. "Becky I...I have some bad news." She gulped and it felt like she was breaking my hand. "The drug you're currently on isn't working and we believe that some of the damaged caused by the drugs is irreversible." Becky shook her head. "What does that mean?" One of the doctors pulled out a clipboard. "It means you may have some problems in the future, neurologically and physically. With the damage done to your body and circulatory system your body can't pump enough blood around the body causing your blood pressure to be very high, which could cause you problems later in life with conceiving children and fulfilling your life." Becky bit her lip and used her free hand to stop a tear from escaping her eye. "Isn't there any other drug you can try?" Becky's voice was becoming more desperate and it was heartbreaking to hear. "Yes, we've signed you up to as many trials as we can but for now there's nothing more we can do. We're sending you home."

I didn't want to go home until I was better, but now they're telling me there's a chance I'll never get better. That I may never have any kids...yes I have Millie but one day I wanted to have kids with Colby...I wanted to raise my own babies but now I don't have the chance. I've never liked birthdays but I think this is truly the worst one I've had in years.

A/N: Well they're engaged, but Becky may never get better. Truly is a bittersweet birthday if you ask me? I couldn't just let one chapter be all happy, sorry! But let me know what you think!!
