Sean's POV

As I watch my step daughters's dad being sick as I held the container for him I couldn't myself to think how Violet will react to when her dad goes home with her Auntie Gabby and Uncle Matt. I'm going out of my mind with worry as my fiance doesn't need this stress at all.

Matt is on his way back upstairs with Andrea as she's due for her next feed before they leave the hospital with Jim Jordan. "Hello babe how's Jim been feeling since I took a break"Matt asks. "Not so good baby he's been sick twice and now he's exhausted"Gabby says. "Violet's with Christie"Matt said. "I'll sit in the back with the kids"Gabby says. "Thats a good idea love"Matt said as Jim reads his leaflets that was given too him by his Cancer Doctor. "Are you okay Jim"Gabby asks. "I'll be okay theres just a lot to take in"Jim says. "I know it's hard remembering everything"Gabby says. "How's Violet going to take the news about how my treatment woks and understand the medical jargon"Jim asks. "Don't worry Jim I'll explain it all to Violet from a Paramedic way"Gabby said. "Thanks"Jim said as Doctor Callahan walks in. "Your first day of chemotherapy is done and I'm pleased to say that you can go home"Doctor Callahan said.

"Let's get you home and settled in"Matt said. "Yes please"Jim says. As Jim is helped by Matt and Sean as Gabby gathers Andrea by putting her in her car seat and Jim's stuff for what he needs at home.
