When we get inside, we put Addison down for a nap in the nursery built next to our room, and Keegan sets up the baby monitors. He places one next to the crib, and takes the other in his free hand, leading me down stairs with the other. When we reach the couch he sits me down. "Let's watch a movie or some tv." He smiles patting my knee. I give a weak smile and move in closer to him, placing my head on his chest.

"I'm so scared, Keegan." I whisper putting my head down. "Me too, Troian. Me too." He says holding my hand. When we get about 30 minutes into the movie Addison starts crying. "I'll go get her." I smile standing up using Keegan's knee, and groggily walking up the stairs. When I reach her room, I cradle her in my arms, and sing her a lullaby. I sit down on a chair, and curl up with her. Before I knew if, I fell asleep, with tears falling down my cheek.

"Troian...Troian!" Keegan whispers shaking me a little. "Yeah?" I ask sitting up. "You fell asleep singing and rocking Addy, I decided to let you rest for a few hours but I think we should go to bed." He says running his finger along my cheek. I nod and get up slowly. I collapse into Keegan's arms, and he carries me to bed. "You're exhausted, and need your rest. Goodnight babe." He whispers before kissing my cheek. He lays me under the blankets and crawls in next to me.

The next morning

"Good morning." I smile waking Keegan up. "Good morning, you slept a lot yesterday." He yawns sitting up, fixing the blankets to cover him. "I booked something for us today." He smiles taking my hands. "We're going to go to the spa for the day, leave Addison here with everyone, and by everyone, I mean everyone. They all insisted, because we're going to visit Ashton and tell them how she is when we get back." He says out of breath. "That sounds good." I smile biting my lip.

"I'm going to grab a shower before we go." I tell him getting out of bed. "Can I come?" He asks with a grin. "I would, but someone needs to watch the baby. Maybe some other time we can get the girls to babysit or something." I grin walking to his bathroom. After I grab a shower, and get ready, I meet Keegan in the kitchen. "They should be here any—" he says before being interrupted by the door. "Minute now." He finishes laughing.

We open the door to 6 of our friends eagerly standing there, it's their first day babysitting. "You guys know what to do right?" I ask giving them instructions. "Bottle for breakfast, lunch and dinner, change whenever she cries, you'll have to check yourselves. She needs a bath after dinner, she likes to cuddle and be cradled when she cries. She also sleeps a lot, also her nap is after her bath." I tell them and they all nod. "We'll be fine." Ian smiles hugging me and escorting us from the house.

"Have some fun!" Shay smiles closing the door. We drive to the spa, and prepare for a relaxing day away from our kids. We check in and they take us to the massage tables. "You two can get undressed, get under the blankets, lie on the table, and I'll be back with my assistant to massage you in 10." The nice lady smiles and walks off. I remove all of my clothes and so do Keegan. He walks over and places a quick kiss on my lips and lies on the table put next to mine. We lie on our stomachs and put the blankets over us.

"Hello Troian, good morning Keegan." The lady smiles. "I'm Grace, and my assistant here is Amy. We'll be giving you massages, your session is 2 hours." She smiles. "Let's begin!" She tells us.

2 hours later

After the massages are over, the 2 ladies leave so we can get dressed. I sit up and stretch. "How was your massage?" He asks sitting up. "Good, how was yours?" I ask him sitting up as well. "Great." He replies with a smile. "Thanks for all of this, you really didn't need to take me out." I smile. "I did, you're under a lot of stress and it stresses me when you're stressed." He chuckles and so do I. When I stand up he grabs my wrist and pulls me towards him.

He puts his lips against mine and pulls me on his lap. "We're kind of in a massage building." I giggle as he lays down with me on top of him. "We can make it quick.." He smirks kissing me and I kiss back. "Maybe we can do this tonight." I smile sitting up and he groans. We both get dressed, pay at the front counter and leave again. "Ready to see Ashton?" He asks putting his hand on my knee. I let out a shaky breath and nod. When we reach the hospital we walk inside rather quickly.

"Ashton Allen." I tell the secretary at the desk. "The doctor has some news for you two, follow me." She says leading us to a room. When I walk in my heart drops. Hooked up to tubes, wires and needles is my little baby. Tears quickly fall down my cheeks as I grip onto Keegan's arm, putting my head on his chest. I walk over to her and Keegan stands behind me. She's unable to be held, so we stand by and look at her. I look up to Keegan and I wipe a tear from his cheek, and hold his hand.

Moments later the doctor walks in and shuts the door. "Hello you two. I'm afraid I have some bad news." The doctor says flipping through her notes. "Ashton has this rare sickness, and there is currently no cure for it. She will have to rest here so she can be hooked to tubes, that supply her food. We're able to keep her hooked up for 1 month, and 1 month only. If we can't find a cure or treatment, we'll have to unhook her." She tells us, and stands up to go. "Wait-" I whisper crying. "Yes ma'am?" She asks.

"Will she live? Do you think she'll get through this?" I ask in a weak tone. "I think she's strong enough, even at a few days old, to overcome this. It's rare. I hate to tell you this, but every other child who was diagnosed with it didn't make it." She says before leaving. "Keegan.." I whisper sitting on his lap. "Baby it's okay, it'll be okay. Let's hope, let's pray." He whispers stroking my hair. I go over and hold her little hand.

"Ashton, mommy loves you. I know you're sick, and it hurts to know this, and know I can't do anything about it. But you can pull through this, you probably can't even understand me, because you're that young." I chuckle weakly. "But you can do this. I love you, and I'll be here every day, I'm going to go pack, and stay here tonight because there are follow up tests and surgery tomorrow. Good luck." I whisper before walking away with Keegan. "Do you think she can make it?" I ask weakly. "Yes, yes I do." He smiles hugging me.
