Twilight (Quil and Claire)

Chapter 20

~Claire's POV~

So now everyone knew about my cancer.

All I get is sympathy. Everyone is very cautious.

No one wants me to talk for long periods of time or be by myself.

I'm fine. The doctors have been monitoring it and its curable.

I can have surgery to remove it or go through chemotherapy.

It was a hard decision. I have two weeks to decide.

If I go through chemo it would make me weak and I would lose my hair.

If I had surgery I would be in recovery for a month.

Emily thinks I should do chemo.

No one else will tell me what they think. They want me to chose.

I'm really scared. I'm not scared of dying cause just because it's curable doesn't mean something can't go wrong during surgery. Or chemo.

I knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I replied.

My mom walked in. With Owen.

I had grown very attached to Owen. As if he was my own. I loved him more than anything.

She sat down next to me on my bed. She handed my Owen.

He was only two weeks old, but his hair was already covering the top of his head.

He had light blonde hair, I guess the dad's, who I still hadn't met.

Sierra has called Owens dad once and told him he had been born. They are suppose to meet up this weekend.

"Emily got a phone call from your dad", she told me.

I breathed in.

"He sounded very eager to meet you", she encouraged.

There was so much to talk about to my dad. I was ready to see him.

"When?" I asked.

"This weekend. While I take Owen to his dad, you can meet your dad", she chuckled.

I nodded.

I was finally going see my dad.

~Emily's POV~

I started cooking dinner for the pack.

They always came here for dinner. And lunch. Sometimes even breakfast.

I finished cooking and took it off the burner and on the counter for when they got back from the beach.

Claire stayed here most the time. She never wanted to leave the house.

Sierra was practicing her sewing. She wanted to make Owen clothes out of outfits no one wore anymore. Just to save money.

I looked at the calendar. There was so much to do.

Tomorrow was Thursday. I had to go grocery shopping and Friday I was going on a day trip with Sam.

Saturday Owen was going to meet his dad and Claire was going to meet her dad.

I worried about that. I hope Claire wouldn't get her hopes up. He probably doesn't care about her. He probably just wants money from her.

I asked Sam to go with Sierra to meet Owen's dad. Just in case.

Claire wanted to go by herself but I convinced her to let me come.

The pack walked in.

"Hey", they greeted me.
