(A/n: Okay so don't kill me if you cried in the last chapter. Just a heads up you might cry during this chapter too so reader discretion advised.)

(Samantha's pov.)

Nicole left at around six pm when her mom called asking if she was still with me and if she was alright. After she had left I cooked dinner for Alexis and and I before giving Alexis a bath. After her bath she insisted on watching more movies with me and sleeping with me in my bed. The pleading look on her face showed concern, I just couldn't say no. After the first movie Alexis fell asleep cuddled into my side while my arms are wrapped around her.

It's now midnight and I'm still up, Alexis is still wrapped in my arms. I'm just laying here wishing sleep would take me over but no. I can't help but to be lost in my past. I was so deep in thought I didn't even notice the tiny body shifting beside me. "S-sammi...." her tiny voice broke my thought process. "S-sammi..." I could feel her tiny hands gripping my shirt and I could hear the pain and sadness in her broken voice. Pulling her close I whispered softly "Don't worry baby girl I'm here I got you. You don't have to be afraid they can't hurt you." Trying to comfort her shaking body I brush my fingers through her hair. She soon calmed down and not long after I could hear her breathing even out letting me know she's asleep.

I don't know why she has such bad nightmares she's only five. She should be dreaming happy thoughts like ice cream, puppy's and Kitty's not whatever keeps her up at night. I feel bad for her I wish there was something I could do for her. I might just take her to see a psychiatrist to see if that will help put her innocent mind at ease.

~Time skip~

It's been over a week since my mom has been away on her business trip she should be back sometime tonight. It's also been about a week since I broke down. I've avoided the issue with both Alexis and Nicole.

I'm currently just sitting in the living room alone flipping through channels while Alexis is over at her friends house for the weekend. I stop on the news channel and see that there's been an accident on 'I 95' " braking news woman hit by a drunk driver swerving into her lane she is being taken to the hospital as we speak." They zoomed into the face of the women and my jaw dropped my heart shattered and I could feel the tears sliding down my cheeks. I jumped up off the couch ran out the door with both my keys and my phone in hand hoping into my mustang and driving to the hospital.

In the hospital I give the receptionist the name and she tells me the room. I walk in and the doctor informs me on the situation letting me know she's in a comma before leaving. "Hi... Mom..." I say trying not to cry. "I rushed over as soon as I could.... They say that you got away with a lot less injuries than most people in an accident like this." I pull up a chair sitting next to her and grabbing her hand. "Mom I've missed you and now you're away at the hospital..... I need you mom..." The tears started to stream down my face.

I sat there in silence for a moment before continuing to speak. "I realize that we never know when our life could be taken away.... I want to tell her the truth. She deserves to know the truth before it'll be too late." I squeezed my moms hand before standing up. "I'm going to go I'll visit tomorrow and I'll try bringing Alexis so she can see you." And with that I was out of the room making my way back to my car just sitting there.

   ~A week later~

   I'm sitting on the couch watching TV when I get a phone call from my mom. (A/n: italics-me. Bold-them.)

Hello?

Hi this is the Smithfield emergency center down on 40-42 is this Samantha?

Yes why?

As you know your mother has been emitted to the hospital. She is very sick and weak we did x-rays and a cat-scan we would rather show you the results in person. Your mother as requested you come down to the hospital.

So she's awake?

Yes she is and she's  waiting for you.

I'll be there in ten minutes.

   I hang up the phone, grab my keys and head out the door. As soon as I get into the hospital I quickly make my way to my mom's room.

   "Mom!?" My mother looks up and smiles weekly. "Hi hunny." She says just above a whisper. "Why don't you take a seat so the doctor can explain what's going on." I look over to the doctor as I sit down on the chair next to the bed.

   "As you know your mother was in a car accident." I nod my head. "Well we had did x-rays and other test before she woke up and more after." I nod again showing that I was listening. "Well what we found during this was a few cancerous tumors..." I cut him off. "A few as in how many?" "There are exactly three one placed in her chest, one on the brain and the last is I'm her lower abdomen." "Well is there anyway for you to get to them?" I question fearing the worst. "Im sorry but it's too late to act these tumors have become part of her. If we try to remove them there is a 99% chance of death." I look at him in disbelief. "H-how long d-does she have?" I studder. "She has about four months to live." I look over to my mom with a sad expression. "Is she able to come home to spend those months with us?" "Yes but she won't be able to leave until tomorrow. We still need to sort out her prescription so that while she's at home she won't be in as much pain and so her body doesn't completely give out so soon." I nod my head showing that I understand.

(A/n: Sorry if this was short but I hope you liked it. Also sorry it took me so long, I've been busy with school. I'm leaving it as a cliffhanger because I can. Plus you'll see all in good time what I've got planned.)
