Chapter 27

(Chase P.O.V)

"Chase quit shaking the whole roll of chairs. You're driving everyone insane." Christian said and laughed. I stopped shaking my leg and smiled at him. He grabbed my hand and held onto tightly; I knew just as well that he was as nervous as I was and his mother was holding tightly to his other hand holding her tears at bay. We were all scared for him and as selfish as it sounds, we were scared for oueselves. Loosing Christian would destroy us all. Sure we would go on with life, smile when we were suppose to for others sake; but for me and his mother we would loose our special gem. The one source of happiness for us both; her son and baby and my whole reason for living. Dramatic or not Christian is my reason for waking up and living my life.

"Chase?" I heard Christian say.

"Yes?" I said and looked at him.

"Promise you'll be there when I wake up?" he said. I smiled and kissed his forhead.

"I'll be there." I said and rubbed my hand over his now smooth head. My fingers brushed againist his old scar and I traced my finger over it and I felt my throat tighten but swallowed my tears. I wouldn't cry in front of him. I had to be as strong as he was.

"Christian!" a nurse called his name and he jumped. His hand began to shake and he squeezed it tightly before letting go. He turned and hugged his mother and kissed his cheek. He turned to me and held my face before kissing my lips and holding onto me tightly. He took and deep breathe and then followed the nurse through the double doors.

"Oh my baby." his mother said and began to cry. I stood up and took the chair that Christian occupied and rubbed comforting circles on her back.

"Hey Ms. Steely. Christian will be okay. He is the strongest person I know." I told her.

"I mean hell, he deals with me on a daily bases!" I tell her and she laughs.

"Oh hush up you. I couldn't find a better man for my son even if I tried." she tells me and I grin at her.

"It's just, this is so hard. I wish I could take his place." she said and took a shakey breathe.

"Me too Ms. Steely. I would in a heart beat." I said. We fell into a silence and waited for us to be called back to see Christian before he went into surgery. The doctor said the surgery should last almost four to six hours and he would have to stay in the hospital for at least a week or two before he could go home. If the surgery went well he would be in a regular room if it doesn't he will be watched around the clock in ICU. From what I could understand, his tumor has grown back to about the size of a golf ball; smaller than his last which was good, they are going to remove the tumor and drain the fluid that had built back up. Were all just glad that this was Benign tumor, which means that it was not cancerous. After that physical therapy was reccomended to help him regain his strength from the surgery and from having to stay in bed so often.

After the surgery they were going to go back in a few weeks to run some CAT Scans and MRIs to see if he had anymore cancerous cells and to see if they could destroy the cells that cause his tumors to grow. We all could hope.

"Christians family!" we heard the nurse call. Ms. Steely and I stood and the nurse escorted us to Christian to see him before his surgery. We opened the curtains and saw Christian lying in the hospital bed smiling up at us.

"Hey guys." he said. I took the chair and sat down next to him and grabbed his hand and his mother sat on the bed with him.

"How are you feeling sweetie?" his mother asked him.

"A little nervous. They gave me some medicine to help with the nauesious and nerves though." he said. I kissed his knuckles and he grinned down at me.

After a few moments the doctor came in and said it was time to take Christian back to surgery.

"Come back to me in one piece okay?" I choked out and leaned down to kiss his lips. The kiss was soft and sweet and he held onto my shirt tightly.

"I will." he whispered. I stepped out of the room and let him and his mother have time together. She came out of the room with tears streaming down her face and nurses and the doctor pushing the bed that held a already drowsy Christian in it. He smiled at me and gave me a thumbs up and closed his eyes.

The hours passed by slowly and I was on the edge. I leaned my head in my hands and closed my eyes.
"Come on Chase lets play it please?" Christian said to me. He pouted his lips and gave me the puppy eyes. I groaned and rolled my eyes at him.
"Fine!" I said and we stepped up to the dance machine. He put in some tickets and chose a song for us to dance too. The music started playing and we stood in position; the actions started to play on the screen and we began to dance to the music. Christian danced and sang along to the song that was playing and was laughing.
"Dance!" we heard people yelling making us laugh harder. We jumped side to side switching places and I did a back flip to make a grand finale. We bent over placing our hands on our knees and breathing hard with sweat rolling down our faces and his bare chest. We looked up to notice that a huge crowd had gathered around us and were clapping at our performance. We both stood straight and bowed at them and walked away laughing. It was one of the best days of my life.

I felt some shaking my shoulder and I jolted awake from my dream. Ms. Steely was smiling at me.

"You fell asleep sweetie. Christian is in recovery." she said and leaned back in her chair. I sat up straight and streched out the crick in my back and neck from sleeping in such a strange position.

"Have they said anything else?" I asked her.

"Not yet dear. You can go home and rest if you need too." she said. I shook my head at her.

"I don't want to leave. I promised to be there when he wakes up." I told her and smiled. A few moments later the doctor we saw before walked out and up to us.

"Steely family?" the doctor said. We both stood up and said yes.

"I'm Doctor Brown. Your son is in recovery and is doing just fine. He is still asleep but will be staying the night in ICU and will be moved into a regular room tomorrow. He will be in some pain but that is normal. You can go see him whenever you are ready. His number is 57." the doctor said and walked away. We both looked at each other and smiled.

Christian is okay.
