Having her as a nurse has been a blessing, it's perfect to have her around and it's amazing to get to spend so much time with her, she's always laughing and she's making lots and lots of friends. She makes me feel like a proud parent. "Happy anniversary," I smile while she walks in. She says she loves it when I smile so she can imagine a laugh to go with it. "Thirty one years." I walk towards her brushing me nose against hers softly. I'd like some lip to lip contact but it could pass on germs that could be harmful to my condition. She's very cautious about that, especially now considering she's my nurse. She lived off of two hours of sleep for six months and now she's really qualified to be a nurse and it's pretty much unbelievable. Although she did have the basic degree before.

"Happy anniversary to you too." She smiles giving me a hug.

"You look so comfy baby, shouldn't you go put on your doctor clothes?" I raise an eyebrow.

"It's my day off, and I wanna give you a day out." Sometime last month the bone marrow got really bad so I had another transplant and she was my donor. She have me what I needed and now my bone marrow is pretty much clear. They say the leukaemia is being treated too but the lungs are being stubborn.

"You're gonna take me out huh?" I raise an eyebrow. Her head brushes against mine in a nod.

"It's going to be really nice, and the kids are even gonna spend time with us, baby boy it's gonna be perfect." Her hands run over my sides. "You're really gonna love what I had planned." She grabs a back pack like thing with oxygen tubes attached to it. "So you can breath while we're out?" She grabs two more tanks and puts them in her bag.

"Thanks baby," I smile running my nose against hers.

"Happy thirty first."

"Are you happy?" She hums running her hands over my back while we watch the game. She wears her nerdy hockey outfit that I can't help but find adorable. Her glasses a maple leafs hat and sweatshirt that's way too big for her. She looks so comfortable and cute. She's just so perfect like that, and she's so kind too. She brought me out on a dinner date and then to a game. She even offered to invite my friends but I refused, I just wanted her.

"Ecstatic!" I smile pecking her temple, I'm not supposed to but today's our thirty first year. "But I'm tired," I lay my head on her shoulder. "And I wanna go home and sleep." I pout.

"I can't take you home, but I'll bring you back to the hospital? I'll even lay with you all night, and I may even be there in the morning." She giggles in my ear.

"Well then what are we waiting for?" I gasp a little making her smile. She offers me as much assistance as possible taking me towards the car slowly but efficiently. "You know if I were allowed," I sigh staring out the window at everything we pass. "Today would've been all about you." I peck her cheek trying not to distract her too much.

"But instead it was all about you, and I never get to do anything like that so suck it up." She rolls her eyes turning the opposite direction than the way we need to go.

"Babe?" I raise an eyebrow and she giggles.

"The game still has at least an hour left, so we're gonna spend an hour at home, and I'll cuddle you for the time we have and then we'll go back to the hospital and sleep." She smiles squeezing my hand. "This day is gonna count." She nods at me while I nod back. I continue to stare out the window, all of the passing cars, and trees and everything else, our little field, I feel bad most days, she spends all of her time with me. I can't remember the last time she saw her friends let alone went out with them, and she won't anymore. I consume her life I take up all of her time. "You're being awfully quiet," She giggles making me smile slightly.

"Just thinking,"

-

She lay in my chest, her body warm above mine while she pulls the blankets up, the snow makes it freezing. "You Alright?" She questions at my heavy breathing. I've done lots of walking all day and it's been kinda hard but she did take it upon herself to stop for me, all of the time.

"Fine, just tired." I yawn softly and she nods. "Hey baby girl?" I raise an eyebrow and she nods. "You're not working tomorrow either right?" She nods again. "I'm gonna call the girls, I think you should go out and have a day to yourself." I grab my phone and she pushes it down.

"I wanna stay with you," She pouts. "Plus that would be awkward, I haven't talked to them in a long time." She sighs a little.

"Well why don't you go tomorrow? It would be nice for you to get out, and it would be good for you to relax a little."

"Oh alright," she huffs. "But I expect you to call me constantly to tell me what's going on, or at least send me a text." She pleads listening to my breathing. "You're really starting to worry me."

"I promise I'll be fine darling, and it's only one day." I roll my eyes and she nods.

"For now, I have one last gift for you," she smiles. "Your leukaemia," She starts giving my lips a soft kiss. "It's gone."
