Four years before

"W-wheres Alysha?" Isabelle whispered. I held the baby in my hand and I looked at Mike, who was crying on the floor.

(She just had her baby)

He cooed in my arms and his small eyes scanned the room. Meeting mine, his eyes where slightly grey. His dark brown hair was straight and short, but it was enough to reach his forehead.

He felt just like when I first held Isabelle. I know this sounds selfish, but I don't care about the baby; I care more about Alysha at this point.

"I don't know baby." I whispered back to Isabelle. Turning around, I see Isabelle hugging Mike as he sobbed.

I knew by then that Isabelle would be closer to Mike in the near future and that she wouldn't let him go no matter what.

I walked over to Mike and handed him the baby; by then the sobs had faded and he started to smile.

"Where's Alysha?" I asked.

He didn't answer, but instead he smiled. Not a happy smile, but a worried and depressed smile.

"She has lung cancer... they found it during labor and she has about a year to live."
