Author's note:
You should listen to the song I keep mentioning, its called 'Nothings gonna change my love for you' by Glen Medeiros. Its so cute!
This chapter is dedicated to swanqueen_trash63 they've given me so much support. (You should read their story, Forbidden love, it's great.)

I laid on the sofa, whilst Emma was tending to Henry, and began trying to move my big toe, as I had seen on Kill Bill. After a long time of slow progress, I could finally move my feet, I pushed all my wight to my elbows and stood up. I immediately regretted it. I wobbled then I fell face first, onto the glass coffee table. I put my hands out to stop me cutting my face, and yelled for Emma. She ran downstairs. "I-I didn't mean to... I tried to stand up... I fell... I-I'm sorry..." I practically begged. She shook her head. "It doesn't matter, all that matters right now, is you. Your safety. Are you okay?" I nodded timidly. She lifted me up, bridal style and laid me back on the sofa. She brought a bandage in, from the first aid box in the kitchen. She cleaned my wound, then she vacuumed up all the glass. I smiled at her, and she kissed my bandage. "I love you." She said, I frowned for a while then smiled. "I love you too." I leant in closer and captured her lips with my own. She smiled into the kiss.  We were broken apart by Henry, "G'night mommy, G'night Emma!" He giggled before heading upstairs. I yawned. "Want to go upstairs?" She asked, I nodded. She carried me up the stairs. "Are you sure I'm not too heavy?" She nodded and set me down. I fell asleep almost instantly. I woke up the next morning and snuggled further into Emma's chest. "Morning, mi amor." She whispered kissing my hair. "Morning, J'adore le Espagnole." I laughed. "Me encanta tu." She whispered. I smiled "I love you too." I whispered."Well," she said. I sat up. "Well what?" I asked, laughing. "Well, I love you from  here," she whispered. I drew my eyebrows together confused. "What do yo-" I was cut of by her kissing me. I smiled and tried to stand up, after stumbling a little, I could stand. I took a step, after a few small steps I was back to normal. After getting dressed,  I walked downstairs to see Henry reading to himself, I smiled and began cooking breakfast. "Hey baby," Emma smiled and kissed my cheek, I smiled and placed the bacon on the plates. I took the plates to the table. Emma sat on the end, I sat next to her and Henry sat opposite me. I smiled to myself. Emma touched my hand. "What are you smiling like an idiot about?" She laughed. I smile even more. "We're a proper family now. This is how its supposed to be." I explained. She smiled too. "And this is how it'll stay." She said. "'Til the end." I whispered. "Regina don't think like that. They haven't said its terminal, we haven't found anything saying that it'll kill you." She said. Tears escaped from my eyes. "But it will." I said. Emma kneeled down, and hugged me. "Shh, its okay. Its going to be okay." She whispered. I pulled myself together. "Don't you have work today?" I asked. She shook her head. "No, they gave me a year off." She explained. I nodded. "Uhm, Henry has daycare." I said she nodded. "What time?" She asked. "From eight to twelve-thirty." I said, she glanced at the clock, 7:35. I lifted him onto my hip and took him upstairs. I put on his toy story shirt and his blue jeans. I felt a rush of nausea again as I fell to the ground. "Emma! Mommy hurt!" Henry yelled, as everything began to go dark, again.
