Blake's POV: 

Blake: Yo DJ can you play defense or what man? Defend the rim.. You are running slower than Shaq when he run sprints man! 

we laugh. I love basketball practice. It really calms me down. I dont have to think about anything else in this world when im in the gym. It it my stress release. 

We run a couple more drills and we have a team meeting and then we head to the locker room and I take a shower. After the shower i check my phone and i see that i have 5 missed calls from Lydia. I begin to panic and i call her but she doesnt answer. Ugh shit wht do I do. I see i have a text message and it reads Lydia is in the hospital. Come quick. Emergency! 

I begin to run out of the locker room but then i noticed i only had a towel on.. damnit. I run back in the lockerroom and get dressed and run out not stopping to explain to anyone. I cant lose her.. I cant do this again..

FLASHBACK

Lydia's POV: 

I yawn. Sleep is what makes me happy. It is really the only thing that i am actually 100% good at. I lay there and think about my life and how lucky i had been. And also how Blake's rug doesnt match the curtain. Oh i have got to fix that, pronto. I begin to sweat under the 1 million blankets that Blake likes to sleep with,ugh he kills me. Then i notice something that pulls my concentration toward it. Blood. there is blood everywhere in the bed all over his white sheets. i quickly check my body for any bullet wounds or gapping openings on my body. But i find nothing. then i see it is coming from my HooHaa ( that is what my mom called it when i was a little kid and it stuck. i know its ridiculous) And there was alot of it. I begin to run up to the go to the bathroom but i had lost so much blood that I was lightheaded. i collapsed to the ground. I look around for my phone and see it on my bedside table. I grab it and call 911, then i call Blake.

then i call Blake.

then i call Blake. 

then i call Blake. 

then i call Blake. 

Nothing. He must be a practice and cant answer me. what do i- 

what do- 

All i see is black.. 

Blake's POV:

Blake: WHERE IS SHE!? WHAT HAPPENED TO HER? LYDIA KONANI. WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?

why the hell is every one ignoring me. you would think that me being 6'10 ppl would just naturally look at me. But not in this case. Finally i get some help. The lady says she is in the ICU and her room number. I sprint. Nothing else matters to me. Nothing in this whole world. I finally get to her room and i see that she is as pale as a ghost. I am frozen for a second bc she doesnt look like herself. She is naturally tan. I mean she is from Hawaii for gods sake. The doctor steps in and pulls me out into the hallway.

Doctor: Hello, Im Dr. Fischer and I am Lydia's Doctor/ Boss. She is a joy to work with.

Blake: Oh i know she is. She is my joy.

Doctor: I need to talk to you about something, were you aware that Lydia was pregnant?

Oh shit.

Blake: I had a hunch that she was but i was not for sure.

Doctor: Well she WAS pregnant, unfortunately she lost the baby. I am very sorry for your loss.

the doctor looked at me with a strange look...

Blake: but there is more, isnt there?

Dr. Fischer: Because Lydia fell out of bed, we wanted to run some scans and check on her to make sure that she was okay to be discharged, However we found a lump on her Lymph Nodes, we are removing it and doing a biopsy of the mass, i dont want you to worry yet but there may be a possibility of it being cancerous.

Blake: But she didnt show signs or anything, I just dont understand. How can this happen?

Dr. Ficsher: Many many ways. I will get you the results as soon as possible, you can go on in and check on her if you like, she should just be waking up from the anesthesia.

I cant move. After everything we have been through, this is going to happen, Will we ever catch a break.

I walk into the room, I walk to the side of the bed and sit on the edge, and i being to sob. Throwing my head in my hands, I knew her waking up to this would devistate her. I just have to be her man and be ready to be strong for the both of us. I can. and i will.

I feel her nudge my arm. I look at her ,red faced, puffy eyed and she is confused.

Lydia: Blake whats wrong baby? Why are you crying?

I tell her everything the doctor told me and she begins to tear up.

Blake: Look i dont care if that lump is cancerous. I dont care. You wanna know why? Because I know that you will make it through. I know you will. You are a bad ass. Nothing scares you. Its just that i cant not see you in the morning making me breakfast wearing my big tshirts blaring the music and swaying your hips while i sit back and silently watch, I cant not get those cute text messages you send me or the pictures, I cant not drive in the drive way and see your car here and Know that you are in there waiting for me, I cant not have you cheer for me at my games, and most of all, I cant not wake up to your beautiful face everymoring, reassuring me that this isnt a dream, its a reality.. That is why you are going to pull through, Because i need you damnit. I need you. 

i am snot-running sobbing now. I just dont know what to do. I dont knw how to live without her now that i have her

she grabs my face and gives me a sweet sweet kiss. She looks up at me.

Lydia: Blake, No matter the lump being cancerous, or me being pregnant and losing the baby, there is one thing that i know for sure i this world that i will carry with me forever, its that my love for you is so real. as real as ever. I need you to know that.

A couple hours later, the doctor comes in the room holding what looked like a College level text book..

Dr. Ficsher: Lydia, Blake. I know you are both anxious to know the results, so they came in seconds ago and I brought them right here. Lydia, Im afraid you do have cancer. We did the biopsy and we found the cancerous cells. However we caught it in the very early stages, which is excellent. We can discuss treatment options later when you have had time to process this, Again i am very very sorry.

The doctor leaves and i am a wreck. I look at Lydia and she is a mess, she is crying silently on her side facing away from me so that i dont see her.

Blake: :Lydia, you dont have to hide your tears. Im here for you baby. Im here. 

I fall into her arms and lay in that hard ass hospital bed, lying next to my fiancé I realize something. Lydia is my heart. She is what makes me get up in the morning. She is what gets me through the day, but when she is upset im upset. We are synced. She is broken. So i am broken.
