An unexpected event

A story to tell

"Honey i need to talk to you for a second" i said in a sad voice not knowing how she is going to react

"Whats wrong baby" she looked at me. She looked like she was really happy before and now she is mutual shes not sad but she also isn't happy shes just mutual.

"Its about the doctors i took xavior there today and we found out whats wrong"

As i was about to tell her about xaviors tumour i looked at her and saw what looked like her start to worry. I knew that i was about to make it worse

"Xavior hes... hes not ok"

I see the fear in her eyes start to build

"What do you mean"she said looking confused and worried

"The doctor said he hes Adenocarcinomas"i looked at her waiting for her response

"What... what is that" she said looking more and more affraid

"It....its a.....Its a form of cancer in his stomach"

She stopped and looked at me i coukd tell she was holding back the tears to look strong infront of xavior so he didn't think it was a bad thing.

"Have you talked to the doctor about what our options are" she said with a single tear escaping from her eye

"He said its the worst type of Adenocarcinomas he has ever seen" i said with a depressing tone in my voice.

"The survival rate is almost nothing" she looked at me then looked at xavior and picked him up like the first time she held him but it felt like it could have been the last.

"i know we can beat it baby we are all in this together" i said trying to be positive

"What if we can't he is going to die not knowing what life is like" she said

I stand there in that room everyting arounf me fading to black but i need to keep a smile on my face so katie doesn't worry. Shes so scared i can tell

"How long do you think xavior has doctor" katie says hoping for a good answer

"Its hard to say right now he could have a month or he could have a year we wont be able to tell untile he is older"

I look at my son and think "so thats it hes just a ticking time bomb waiting to explode that hardly seems fair"

"Come on katie we better take xavior home and get some rest. Hey let's go out for dinner tonight to try and keep our minds off this for a while" i said

"Ok baby" katie says looking depressed

We go to dinner and ordered a large family meal with everything but the whole night i kept looking at xavior trying to figure out why out of all the things that could have happened he got cancer

"It doesnt make sence" katie says while looking at xavior

"What do you mean katie?"

"He was so happy and healthy a few days ago and now he could die at any moment and we are just supposed to live with that"

"I know honey" i said trying to grasp what was said "all we can really do is give him a good life for as long as he has" i say with tears starting to drip down my face

We finish dinner and go home but i never expected what would happen next.....
