The Last Wish.

CHAPTER 4

WHEN I GET THERE I SIGN IN AND AS SOON AS THE RECPTIONIST SEES MY NAME SHE SENDS ME RIGHT BACK. I walk into the office and say "Hi Doctor Marksen!" Doctor Marksen smiles "Hello Peyton." I look at him "Can I get a pregnancy test along with my usual tests?" He chokes on air "Of.. Of course Peyton. Here go pee in this." I take the cup from his outstreched hand and I go into the bathroom and pee in it. Then I walk back into the room and hand Doctor Marksen takes it and sticks a stick in it. We wait for a few minutes and the stick turns a light blue and he looks at me "Congratulations Peyton your pregnant." I smile widely and a tear trickles down my face and I laugh. Doctor Marksen smiles too and runs his usual tests and he leaves the room. He takes a little bit longer to come back and I know its noting good. He comes back and says "Your cancer is progressing like we knew it would, but a little faster. It would appear the babies draining the life out of you. You have 1 to 2 years left at the most if you don't die before the end of your pregnancy." I gasp and a tear trickles down my face I wipe it away and he sighs "I take it you still haven't told anyone yet have you?" I shake my head and he shakes his head "Do you plan on it?" I nod and say "Of course its just I can't lose this baby. its my last wish." Doc looks at me his eyes shining "Then ill make sure you survive until this baby is born." I laugh "Thank you so much doc." He smiles "Tell them please. Today." I frown "I can't im sorry I just can't. its hard enough for me I just need time." He nods and says "fine you have three months." I nod and walk to my car and drive home with my new pills that won't harm the baby and I take two of each and they have a bad side effect, they make me even more tired then the baby and the cancer combined. I go inside and collapse on my bed.

My mom opens my door and wakes me up "Peyton! Have you done any homework?" I shake my head and she says "Jem told me when you got home that you went right to sleep. Get up and do your homework." I get off my bed and sit at my desk trying to do my homework when my joints started hurting again and I leave myself bruises because of my pencil. I take my pills just as my mom walks in and says "Dinner time Pey." I nod and walk out after her to the table. We have mashed potatoes, pork chops, and green beans. I pick at my food and push it around on my plate and stand suddenly "I need to finish my homework." They all give me a funny look but nod and I walk to my room and close my door? I lay on the bed and fall asleep again.
