Tonya POV

Today I went to the doctors to see about one more alternative treatment.They said that this is what can cure me for good...but I don't want to do it.

"Ms.Parker, I have to ask do you have any children? "My doctor asked as she examined my heart.

"Yes, one."I said breathing in and out as instructed. Julia was at home with David, asleep probably,I did get here at 6 o'clock.

"Okay, so the procedure we want you to do, is a kidney transplant.We believe one of your kidneys is the cause of your illness.Actually, a reason you maybe sick is because you only have one kidney. "

"Wow, I didn't even know, but when can we start. "I was elated that it was just a kidney.I thought it would be my heart or brain or something.

"Well...I did ask you about your child...and we need a blood transfer and do kidney surgery with that child and give it to you."

"Absolutely not!"

"I thought you might say that, so a second option would be another close relative like a parent or a sibling.Someone with a compatible blood type. We have your mother's records and it shows you two do not have the same blood type.However, we do not have your father's records what so ever. "

I never knew my father so of course I can't have a transplant from him.

"We also have your siblings and it seems that the ones that do have two kidneys do not have your blood type and the ones that do, have been born with one kidney.So your last resort would be your child-"

"No, no, no! I am not putting my baby through that. I can't and I will not."I made my point.

"I understand ma'am, but you realize that you will die if-

"It doesnt matter, I'm not using my child."

"We can put you on a transplant list, but it could take much longer to get the right person. "

"If its an alternative, than put me on the list. "Its the least I can do to get the help I need, not like it would matter anyways.

"Okay Ms.Parker, I'll put you on the list in a few minutes, you can on home if you'd like. "She said as she went into another room.

When I got home, Julia was playing tea party with David.It was absolutely adorable.She made him wear her fairy princess costume, of course he couldn't fit the dress so she let him wear her frily pink tutu.He had the fairy wings and to magic wand as well as a tiara.

He seemed very into it, seeing as he was speaking in a soft high vpice trhing to sound like a girl. Im surprised she hadn't drowned him in make up by now.

"No, your supposed to drink the tea like this."Julia said teaching him the correct way to hold his pinkie finger.I know this may sound stupid, but his pinkie was colossal compared to her tiny one.

"I am."

"You are not! Mommy, please teach this newbie how the pros do it."She said leaving David with a hurt look, acting skills use em'.

I chuckled as wiggled my pinkie finger in the air.

"Tch, whatever. "He said shrugging.

A few hours later, we decided to take Julia to the park.I was surprised because David had suggested it.I remember when he couldn't stand the sight of nature.

Although it was still Spring time, it was unusally cold today. The doctors told mw to stay out of the cold, but I think I can bare it today.I really don't want to spoil their fun.

As Julia skipped infronf of us down the trail,  I decided to tell David...Well, he sorta asked me.

"Where'd you go this morning? "He asked tugging on his scarf.

"No where special. "I said trying to keep it to myself.

"You went to the doctor's didn't you?"He asked looking down at me with those gorgeous blue eyes.

"Yeah...I found out that I could be cured, but I don't plan on doing it. "

"Why not?"He asked concerend like with his eyes narrowed.

"It involves Julia giving me an organ, but...No, I'm not using her."I said as I looked to see her chasing a squirrel.

She's so silly.

"I can do it."He offefed.

"It has to be someone with my blood type or closley related, and I remember distinctively when you and and Joey got into that fight in 11th grade that your blood type is AB."I said thinking back to the day when Joey got mad at David for beating him at a stupid video game.

I remember sitting on the floor with Joey's girlfriend of the week as we watched the madness unfold.Hard to believe that didn't stop them from staying best friends, I wonder what he's up to.

"Oh, yeah.Well, he's a sore losser and always will be."He said smirking.

"You cheated, remember? You deserved to get punched in the jaw."I retorted.

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't who cares?And how can you agree with him?"He asked hurt like, even though I know he was playing.

"Because its true...You were screen watcher and you know it."I said.

He shook his head in denile and smiled at me.

I remember when it used to be like this.Fun and giggly times.I also remember when he used to slip his hand into mine while I wasn't paying...attention....

I looked down and noticed our hands were interlocked.His sneakiness hadn't changed that's for sure.

I started to laugh at myself.I laughed like no one was around. Like it was just me.

Once I realized that I was laughing, I stopped quickly, still holding back some more. I glanced over at David, who seemed weirdedout, and at Julia.She chaced that poor squirrel up a tree and it seems shes trying to bark it down like a dog.

"I'm sorry, its just the nostalgia."I said calmkng down.

I noticed David seemed to be pondering something. It was like he wanted to say something, but couldn't get it out or couldn't word it correctly.

Finally, he spoke.

"...I want you to stay with me."He said squeezing my hand a little tighter, it wasn't painful, but it was quite a grip.

Come live with him...

I had to question that.

"What ?"

"I want you to come live with me.Me, you and Julia."He restated.

I thought about it.Its actually pretty scary in that house, that my grandfathet passed onto me.I mean, no reason to stay in a house thats not even fit for one person. Plus, im sick of being alone.

"...I'll stay with you."

And just like that, a swoosh of cold air  came out of no where. There was this voice that came with it too.So bone chilling and horrible.

David looked completely unfazed, like it hadn't even happened and Julia was still trying to get thay squirrel to come down.Was it just me? Maybe it was my imagination...But it's so...Real.

I lost control of my legs and fell into a warm chest.I felr safe right here. Nothing could touch me as long as I was clinging onto him.He returned the affection, as if ne weren't going to let go of me.

I need him...Him and Julia.
