MARIES POV (Mom)

"Wake up Hope. Today your first day of school!" I exclaimed. Over the past few years, Brian has been improving. I guess now I can say I woke up from the nightmare.

Today is Hope's first day of kindergarden. She's growing up so fast, its unbelievable. It feels like she was just born yesterday and now shes already going to kindergarden.

"Mommy?" Hope says snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Yes baby?"

"You told me to get up. Im up now." She says rubbing her eyes. I can still see fatigue in her eyes. Last night she went to sleep late, watching the new episode of calliou with her dad.

"Okay, how about I go run you a bath?"

"Yes!!! Pleasssee! Mommy!!" She exclaims as she runs out of her room and secconds after getting caught by her father and thrown in the air.

"And wheres my princess off to?"
He says with a smile on his face.

Hope giggles
"The bathroom!!" She screams trying to wiggle out of her fathers grip.

"Babe how about I go run her a bath and you can go ahead and start on breakfast."

"Sounds good to me. Hope hun, what do you want for breakfast?"

"Uhhhhh, um pancakes and and fries and soda and......"

"I think pancakes and some milk will do." I said shaking my head. The girl has an appetite. Just like her father. Shes got everything from her father. Her feet, nose, eyes, EVERYTHING. Exept her beauty. Which she got from the right person. Hope is a daddy's girl. Her relationship with her father is so strong to the point where it drives me crazy sometimes. Once those two get together, there's no pulling them apart.

"Awwww, okay fine." She said frowning. But her frown quickly turns into giggles as Brian throws her on his back and zooms into the bathroom.

I walk away and start heading down to the kitchen. Then I hear his phone ringing so I make my way to our bedroom. I step inside the bedroom and I grap his phone on the Nightstand. When I look at the caller ID it says Dr. Reynolds. I answer the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Mr. Mcbride I called to let you know that your test results came in."

"This is Mrs. Mcbride. And would you mind telling me about this test and the results. Mr. Mcbride is unavailable right now, he went out. Ill just inform him when he comes back."

"Well we ran some tests last week because Mr. Mcbride has been coming in for some check ups. And the results are'nt so good."

"Well.... what do the results say?"

"Well, Mr. Mcbride currently has stage three cancer Im sorry."

The phone drops, and my world stops. I black out.
