Till Death Do Us Part (An Alejandro and Heather Fanfiction)

Diagnosis Part 5

As Heather was in the ambulance on her way to the hospital, she woke up laying on a stretcher  with the paramedics surrounding her. "What's going on, where am I? and where's my husband? spoke Heather groggily. "you passed out, so we're taking you to the hospital to do some tests,"spoke the paramedic."You're husband is following behind spoke the other paramedic. Suddenly Heather felt the pain coming back in her stomach again, it was so excruciating that she began screaming and crying. Than all of a sudden Heather felt nauseous again. So She told the paramedics,"I don't feel well," cried Heather in pain. Than suddenly, Heather was about to throw up, and the paramedics could tell so one of them grabbed the garbage bin and Heather started heaving nonstop.

At the hospital........ 

Alejandro parked in a stall got out of the car grabbed Mateo in his carseat and ran towards the ambulance crying. The paramedics wheeled Heather into the hospital who was still throwing up from the pain. Alejandro walked beside the stretcher and held Heather's hand tightly.  A few minutes later a nurse and doctor came running and immediately took Heather. Alright Mr. Burromuerto you will have to wait in the waiting room as we do some bloodwork and tests to find out what's wrong with your wife spoke the nurse. "Please let me go with her she needs me! begged Alejandro, who was still crying."i'm sorry sir we'll try and be as fast as we can," explained the nurse. So they wheeled Heather towards the door as she disappeared down the hall, Alejandro watched sadly as he was making his way to the waiting room. 

In the waiting room.... 

Alejandro who was sleeping soundly in the chair, suddenly got woken up by Mateo's crying. So Alejandro took him out of his carseat and held him against his shoulder. But nothing seemed to work Mateo was still crying which eventually turned into loud wailing. "shhhh its ok my little bambino please don't cry,"mama's not here right now,"spoke Alejandro softly. As Alejandro was trying to calm Mateo the doctor came walking in, you must be Alejandro, "yes I am,"responded Alejandro. "My name is Dr. Martin, please come with me," replied the doctor. So Alejandro followed him down the hall, and Dr. Martin began to speak."Alejandro your wife's results came back and it's not good we ran a bunch of tests, did some blood work,we found something in her blood that didn't look right."i'm so sorry, your wife has stage 3 stomach cancer," spoke Dr.Martin with tears in his eyes. "Wait no it can't be true! shouted Alejandro starting to cry. "I'm very sorry I wish I was wrong, but unfortunately i'm' not, that's why your wife has been having severe bloating and stomach pain explained Dr. Martin. Alejandro broke down in tears and wept. "What about treatment options? asked Alejandro sniffling. "she will have to start 10 rounds of chemo to shrink the tumor starting tomorrow, Just to warn you she will have some pretty bad side effects, like feeling nauseous, fatigue, hair loss, tingling/burning, weakness or numbness in the hands or feet, and bowel functions such as constipation or diarrhea," explained Dr. Martin. "Can I see her," "yes of course she is hooked up to IV for the pain.

In the hospital room.......

Alejandro walked into Heather's room and could see that she was crying so he walked over to her and gave her a big hug. "Heather began to speak "it's not fair! sweetheart why me?  "Why do I have to be the one with stage 3 stomach cancer it's just not fair, I'm a mother of 3 kids, the girls need me and I need to care for Mateo, I feel scared sniffled Heather with tears in her eyes. "Look mi amor everything's going to be ok don't worry about the girls I will look after them, promise me you'll fight this,"spoke Alejandro giving his wife a kiss on the cheek. "Yes sweetheart i'll try spoke Heather wiping away her tears smiling, while giving Alejandro a kiss on the lips.
