you can't fight cancer 🖤

Disappointment

Zach's POV:
i can't read Alex's face... it's blank. when the doctor walked out i couldn't help but smile. being the father of a child sounded great, but being the father of Alex's baby was even more amazing. she looked over at me. "Zach, what did we do?" she said scared. "Alex, i promise you, we can do this." "i keep making your life worse. oh my god zach, what is myta gonna say? she's going to hate me so much." "no she's not." i pulled out my phone and called my mom to bring the kids in and Jack. "Zach, what are you doing?" when they walked in i asked them to sit down. my mom looked scared but honestly i can't care. i was really happy. i don't know why i was so happy but i feel like after all the bad that's happened, this is god's way of telling us things are getting better. "there has been a lot of heart break and sadness these past few weeks, but god has granted us with a gift. and everything is going to be so much better because Alex and I are having a baby." Alex was crying, the kids were cheering and giving her hugs, Jack hugged me and my mom looked mad as hell. "Zach, can i talk to you in the hall?" she asked already dragging me out of the room. oh shit. "Zachary Dean Herron, how could you do this? i can't believe my son is not a virgin. oh my." she began pacing and i grabbed her shoulders. "Mom, this is a good thing. i'm gonna be a dad alongside the love of my life." i tried cheering her up but she still seemed angry. "Zachary. i'm so disappointed in you." "why?" "why? why! do you know the risks of being pregnant with cancer? The baby could die, Alex could DIE!!" she screamed tears were running down her face. "i don't know why i let you put yourself in this situation. i should've set a no girls rule when i had the chance." "Mom," i tried to say without crying. "you couldn't have stopped me. you can't control who i love. who can't tell me who i can and can't love. i don't care if she has cancer. i don't care if she's pregnant. i'm happy. and if you can't be happy for me. then i guess i'm doing this without you." i walked back into the room and left my mom in the hallway. i ran up and picked up Avery and put her on my shoulders. "Avery, are you excited to be an aunt?" i asked making Alex smile. "but Zachy?" "yes?" "what if the baby doesn't like me?" she asked sadly. "The baby is going to love you." alex said. i went over and hugged her.
Jack brought the kids home to put them to sleep. dang i couldn't be able to do this without him. my mom left and i don't plan on seeing her for a while. the doctor said he had to run some more tests to make sure the baby was ok. and also asked if we were positive we wanted to keep the baby. we said yes and then he told us the risks. "Alex, if you continue with this pregnancy, we have to stop chemo, which is a risk to you but we might be able to put you on meds so that it doesn't get worse and it won't affect the baby. but if it does get worse we will have to continue the chemo so that we save your life. cause if we don't you could both die." i bit my lip and looked at her. "i would rather die over my baby. so if there is an option where the baby and i both live, that'd be great. but if i have to die in order to save it, i'm gonna go with that." the thought of Alex dying crushed me. but i have to keep praying that they both live. i now see why my mom was so mad. but the doctor said there are possibilities that they both live. so i'm gonna just need god on my side with this one.
