I got to the hospital with my whole family. "Hi Ross. You ready?" My doctor asked. I nodded slightly as he took my bag from me. "You're gonna be fine. We're doing everything we can" he assured. I nodded slightly "come on. Let's get you to your room"
We got an elevator to the 3rd floor. I looked up at the sign. 'Cancer ward' I gulped as the doctor patted my back before leading me to my room. He opened the door and my eyes widened.

"This is your room Ross. Your family and record label chipped in to get you the best private room we have" my doctor smiled. I smiled slightly and looked at my parents and siblings, who smiled. "Thanks" I smiled. They all nodded. "Okay. The nurse will bring in a hospital gown for you and then we'll start the treatment in a hour or so. Make yourself comfortable"
The doctor left and I stood staring at the bed. "Come on. Let's get you in the hospital gown yeah?" The nurse asked, walking in. I gulped and nodded slightly. She led me to the bathroom and locked the door. I took my shirt and jeans off and she helped me put it on. "I can leave my undies on right?" I asked. the nurse laughed "yes Ross" she smiled. I nodded "I know it's a lot to take in" she started, tying the string at the back. "But we're doing everything we can to help you Ross. I'll be here every day and some nights to help you get through this" she assured. I nodded. "Thanks" I whispered. "Don't worry about it" she smiled. "I'm gonna look horrible with no hair" I laughed slightly. She smiled "I'm sure you won't Ross. You're still Ross lynch. Women will still be fainting at your feet" she smiled. "Not if I look like an egg" I laughed. She laughed. "Your hairs quite thick actually. I don't think you'll lose it all. You could just shave it short." She told me, running a Hand through my hair. I smiled "hopefully" I smiled. She smiled "now. Come on. Let's get you into your bed"
I walked out of the bathroom and everyone looked at me. "Stop staring" I whispered. "Sorry Ross" Ryland smiled. I walked towards the bed and sat on it. I looked around the room. "I think we should tell the fans. They deserve to know" I told them as the nurse set up the needle. "We will soon." Dad smiled. I nodded slightly. "Okay Ross. When I insert this into your arm, you may pass out so you need to lie down. But don't worry because it is totally normal for people having chemotherapy for the first time" she explained. I nodded slightly before lying down. I looked at my parents with fear in my eyes. I looked at my siblings and they all shot me reassuring smile. Mom held onto my hand and I looked back at her "you got this" dad whispered. I smiled slightly before looking at the nurse. She smiled "okay. You ready?" She asked. "As ready as I'll ever be" I whispered. She smiled before inserting the needle into my hand. Everything went blurry and my eyes rolled to the back of my head. Then everything went black.

"He's fine" the nurse smiled. I nodded as I stroked Ross' hair. "He's a strong kid. He was even making jokes when we were in the bathroom" she smiled. I smiled down at my son. "He is. He doesn't deserve this" I sighed. "No one does. But we're doing all we can." The nurse smiled. I nodded "When he wakes up press the help button and I'll come and help him" she told us. We all nodded. "Also. If you need it. At the end of the hall there is a nurse that will help you get through this. I'm here too. You're not alone. We're here for all of you as much as we're here for Ross" she smiled. We all smiled "thank you" Mark smiled and the nurse left. "Should we tell the fans?" Rydel asked, holding Ross' hand. "Yeah. We should" I frowned. "How? We can't really tell them that Ross has...over Instagram" Riker sighed. "I'll take a picture of Ross and post it there. Tomorrow you've got an interview anyway so you can tell them then" I told my children. They all nodded as I took a picture of Ross. I posted it, Captioned 'I LOVE YOU 💛'
20 minutes later.
Ross stirred and opened his eyes slightly. "Hey baby" I whispered. Mark pressed the help button. "Hey" Ross whispered. "You okay?" Mark asked. "Feel abit nauseous and my throat hurts" he told us. I nodded and stroked his arm "you'll be fine" I whispered. He smiled weakly as the nurse walked in "hey Ross." She smiled. Ross smiled slightly "hi" he whispered. The nurse moved the bed so he was in a sitting position. "Are you feeling any side effects?" She asked. Ross nodded "I'm abit nauseous" he admitted. She smiled and nodded "that is to be expected with your first treatment and many of them. You'll be fine. It will pass once the chemo is done. But if you need to be sick" she opened a cupboard and handed Ross a big bowl "do it in there" she laughed. Ross laughed slightly and nodded. "Now. You need to keep your strength up. D'you want something to eat?" She asked. "I could try?" He smiled slightly. "'Atta boy" the nurse smiled before checking his vitals and leaving the room.
Ross looked at me and shot me a weak smile. "Hey baby. You're doing amazing" I told him. "I'm not giving birth mom." He laughed. I laughed "I mean dealing with it. You're still my smily little boy" I smiled. Ross smiled too as I hugged him. "I love you mom" "I love you too baby"
