Summery: Remember the chapter about Serena with her daughters on Mother's Day? Well this is what happened to Grace. Grace is sick and Serena is worried. But no matter how much Grace reassures her daughter. Grace deteriorates.

Title is Soon You'll Get Better

Serena sat in the quiet hospital room, her mother, Grace, lying in the bed. The harsh fluorescent lights cast a sterile, unforgiving glow, contrasting sharply with the warmth of the love they shared. Grace had been ill for some time, and Serena had been by her side throughout her struggle.

Worry etched deep lines on Serena's face as she held her mother's frail hand. She had been trying to be strong, to put on a brave face, but the fear gnawed at her heart. Her mother had always been her rock, her source of strength, and now she was faced with the painful reality of her mother's declining health.

"Mom," Serena whispered, her voice trembling with emotion, "I'm so scared. What if..."

Grace, weak but still possessing a reassuring smile, gently interrupted her daughter's sentence. "Serena, my love, you don't have to worry about me. I promise, I'll be fine."

Tears welled up in Serena's eyes as she gazed into her mother's eyes, filled with love and determination. "But you've been in and out of the hospital so many times, and the treatments... they're not working as they should. What if..."

Grace reached out and tenderly brushed a tear from Serena's cheek. "Sweetheart, sometimes life doesn't go the way we want it to. But you have to trust that whatever happens, I'll always be with you, in your heart."

Serena nodded, her heart heavy with the realization that her mother was trying to prepare her for what was to come. "I love you, Mom," she whispered, her voice breaking.

"I love you too, Serena, more than words can express," Grace replied, her voice soft and filled with affection.

As the days passed, Serena remained steadfast by her mother's side, cherishing every moment they had together. Grace's condition continued to deteriorate, but she faced it with grace and courage, her love for Serena unwavering.

In the end, when the time came for Grace to leave this world, she did so with Serena holding her hand, their love enduring even beyond the boundaries of life and death. Serena knew that her mother's reassuring words had been a way to ease her worries and fears, but the pain of loss was still a heavy burden to bear.

Serena carried her mother's love and strength with her, knowing that Grace's spirit would always be a guiding light in her life. The memories of their time together at the hospital, filled with love, laughter, and bittersweet moments, remained etched in Serena's heart, a reminder of the enduring bond between a mother and her daughter.
