Drifting Away

~Part 12~

(Author's note: This is a pretty big chapter again. 😊)

Gabby's P.O.V

We got back from the hospital and I had something I wanted to tell Max really badly but I didn't know how to tell him I decided to tell him after lunch.

"What would you like for lunch babe?" I asked Max as he had is eyes fixed to the TV.

"Um just an easy ham sandwich would be fine for me thanks." Max replied.

"Ok" I said as I turned around to go to the kitchen. As I got the ham and the bread out I decided I would just have a ham sandwich too.

As I was cutting the ham I was thinking about how I would tell Max the news and all of a sudden

*BANG*

"OUCH!" I yelled. Max was next to me in about 3 seconds.

"Are you ok?" Max said in a panic and slightly out of breath.

"Ouch yes I was just cutting the big chunk of ham and I was to busy in my trail of thoughts and the knife slipped and my hand has a cut." I said as I gave Max my left hand knowing he would want to look at it.

"Gabby. It goes from your thumb to the middle of your hand. But luckily it's not to deep. Wait here I will get a bandage." Max said as he ran off so quick I couldn't even say ok.

He came back in a few minutes with some padding and a bandage.

"Sit here." Max said as he pulled out a chair from the bar bench.

"So what were you thinking about?" Max asked breaking the silence.

"What?" I said playing dumb.

"Well you said you were busy in your trail of thought when the knife slipped so what were you thinking about?" Max said as he finished wrapping my hand up.

"Thanks." I said lifting up my hand.

"That's ok....Well?" Max said really wanting to know what I was thinking about.

"Well oh come over here." I said as I walked over to the couch. The couch always seems to be a great place to have a deep conversation.

"What is Gabby I can tell you putting it off." Max said holding onto my hands.

"Well.." I said as I took a deep breath in.

"You can tell me anything Gabby. Honestly." Max said relieving my worries.

"Well ok I'm just gonna say it but don't interrupt. Okay?" I told Max.

"Ok." Max said. I could tell I had his full attention.

"Well I was talking to the doctor today. Obviously. But it was on a different subject other then cancer." I said seeing if Max wasn't panicked just by that.

"Yeeess." Max said wanting for me to continue.

"Well I asked if well...If I could have a baby with having the cancer and all and she said I could and that nothing is stoping me because the cancer is just in the lungs and it's 99% a chance that it wouldn't spread anywhere else in my body and well she also said that I have to remember that I will...well you know...go to another world... And that the baby would be to young to ever remember me and I have been thinking long and hard about it hence the knife and I have a great idea for me to "talk" to our baby. But it's just up to you cause your going to be looking after the baby for his or her whole life and that's pretty big. This might seem like I have just dumped everything onto you and it may seem rushing things. But I don't know when I'm going to...ahhh I'm just gonna say it. Die. I don't know when I'm going to die." I said with tears forming in my eyes.
