I went to go see Pump, just like every other weekend. Like usual he stretched out his arms to do grabby hands so he could get a hug. I was just talking to him when my mom walked in, the look on her face told me something was wrong.
"Whats wrong mom?" I said, concerned
"You know how Pump.. needed that surgery sooner or later?" My mom said quietly
Pump looked at me, worried, and i looked at him back.
"Y..yea?" Pump mumbled
"We... we can't postpone this surgery any longer, we have to do it soon" My mom sighed
Pump looked terrified. We both knew there was a chance of him not making it out alive. 
"B-but-" Pump said before he got cut off
"No buts." My mom said, cutting Pump off
I didn't know how to respond. So i just looked at my mom in shock. 
My mom let out a long dramatic sigh and she would pat Pump on the head, she was just as scared as we were.
"W-when will it happen..?" I mumbled
"In 4 days." My mom said, her voice was blunt and monotone
"4.." Pump muttered
