"Daddy, it hurts!" Lauren cried. Her periods get worse everytime it happens. Medicine doesn't help, neither does a heating pad.

"I know, pumpkin. It will all be over in a few days." She started to ball. "But you know I can't do anything about the pain, we've tried everything we could." I place my hand on her forehead. "Sweetie, you're burning up! Maybe I should take you to the doctor!"

"I-I can't move, it hurts t-too much." I sigh.

"Lay on your back." She did as she was told. I slowly lifted up her shirt, and placed my hand onto her lower stomach, slowly applying pressure. I feel some sort of lump.

"Ow!" I immediately pick Laurie up bridal style and start walking to the car.

"Brendon? Is everything okay?" Sarah asked as I walked down the stairs.

"I'm taking Lauren to the hospital. I'm afraid there is something wrong with her." Sarah gasps.

"Okay. I'll start to make some chicken soup for when you two get back!" Sarah kissed Laurie's cheek.

"T-thanks, Sarah." Lauren weakly smiled.

"My pleasure!" I placed my lips onto Sarah's.

"I'll call you." We leave.

I held Lauren's hand as she balled her eyes out, laying in a hospital bed.

"Why haven't they given me any fucking pain killers?!" Laurie yelled.

"They need the lab results to come back, and then they will put you something. " Lauren frowned. I looked at the door when the doctor came in.

"Hello, Lauren. Your results came back. I am so sorry to tell you this, but you have a rare type of cervical cancer. You are lucky you came in today, because right now it is highly treatable." Laurie started to sob into my chest. "Mr.Urie, we will have to start her on Radiation immediately, then Chemo, if nessesary. Luckily, she does not need any surgery." I nod.

"Thank you, doc." The doctor leaves.

"Am I going to lose all my hair?" She asks.

"I don't know, baby, but if you do, we'll get you a wig, okay?" I stand up and go into the bathroom to call Sarah.

"How's everything?" She asked immediately once she picked up.

"Lauren has cancer.. But it was caught fast, so they are going to start her on Radiation."

"Oh my god.. That poor thing! Do you want me to come?"

"Please. We're in the pediatric ward. Room 243."
