Alex POV - two months later

I stare at the results and sigh.

'Shit, how am I going to explain this to them?'

I rub my forehead when my phone starts ringing.

I quickly answer it, "Hello?"

"Hi Mrs. Carrasco, just calling to confirm your appointment."

I bite my lip, "Yeah, I'll be there."

"We know how difficult this can be, but just know that we got it early and you have a great medical team."

I close my eyes, "I know and I appreciate that. Thank you."

"See you next week, Mrs. Carrasco."

"Bye."

I hang up and feel arms snake around my shoulders then a kiss pressed to my collar.

"Morning, honey." Serv whispers.

"Morning."

"You okay?"

I shake my head, "I'm just still in shock."

He presses a kiss to my shoulder, "You're going to be okay."

I close my eyes, "I know. I'm just worried about the kids."

He sighs, "They'll be okay. They have each other to lean on."

I turn in his hold, "Sawyer is going to freak out."

He bobs his head up and down, "She probably will."

I give him a look, "She for sure will and is going to want to drop everything to come to San Diego."

He smiles, "A testament to how much she loves you."

I sigh.

"Look babe, we reassure her and Q that the doctors caught it early and you'll need two surgeries. No chemo is the hope."

I nod and bite my lip, "This totally sucks."

He smiles sadly, "It totally does, but you're the strongest woman that I know. You'll get through it just like my mom did."

I feel my eyes fill with tears and he wipes his thumbs under my eyes.

"You're going to be okay." He says and presses a kiss to my lips.

"Good morning parental units." I pull back and wipe my eyes.

I turn and see Q who freezes, "What's wrong?"

I sigh, "We will talk about it later, yeah?"

"Uh, okay? Is everything okay?" She asks.

"Family meeting later, Sawyer will be here too." I say.

"But everything is okay?" She asks.

"Everything will be okay. We want to tell you guys together." Serv says.

She stares at us and takes a deep breath, "Okay."

She grabs a granola bar and walks out of the kitchen.

"We have two very anxious kids who are going to spiral and ask 3,000 questions tonight." I say.

"And we will answer all 3,000 of them." He says and pecks my lips.

I give him a small smile, "Okay."

"Do you know what this emergency family meeting is about?" Makena asks me.
