For five long years both Alex and Nathan suffered through their cancer. One day when Nathan was getting a pet scan.
The doctor set up the Pet Scan for Nathan and then scanned him are cancer cells and his lungs. "Well, what's the verdict?" Nathan asked.
" I'm afraid it's inoperable I'm sorry but there's nothing we can do for you now," the Doctor stated, "but your son looks like he'll be okay."
"So you're telling me that I am dying?"
" I'm sorry but I'm afraid so."
He sighs and is shaking, " B-but what about Samantha?"
The doctor looks at him. "What about her? She is perfectly safe. But she might not like this news."
"She's safe? You sure?"
"Yes."
He sighs. "I'm just worried."
"I understand your concern but I'm sure she'll be alright."
"How many supposed to explain this to her?"
"You'll have to tell her, but be gentle about it."
Samantha walks in. "Be gentle about what?"
"Samantha....I...I...The cancer has grown. The doctor says he can't help me anymore. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I am dying." He tears up.
"W-what?! No! NO NO No No No!" She shouts as she clings to him tightly.
"I'm Sorry Samantha, but nothing can be done." A tear falls down his cheek.
Suddenly he collapses, and the doctor catches him. " I -I can't breathe..." he says gasping for air. "Samantha, I love you..." he says as he closes his eyes.
"Nathan? Nathan!" Samantha shouts.
"He's gone, I'm sorry Samantha."
