When Jeff arrives at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center Natalie and Will aren't to happy. If Jeff coming back wasn't enough what will happen when Natalie receives a tragic diagnosis. Will her and Will stay together, or will Jeff steal Natalie's heart? D...
When I wake up I see Dr. Hansen checking over my stats. She looks pleased. I notice Will standing by the door, looking equally pleased.
"Will?" I ask.
"Nat! How are you feeling?"
"Much better, in fact I feel all better."
"Well, in that case I'll go get your discharge papers." Dr. Hansen says.
I look up at Will in excitement. I can't believe this is finally happening. He walks over to me and wraps his arms around me. He leans in and gives me a huge kiss on my lips.
I'm finally going home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we walk into my house I almost start crying. It's been so long. I can't stand being in the hospital. There's nothing to do. All I do is just lie in that uncomfortable bed all day long. At least when I'm home I can look over paperwork in preparation of going back to work.
"You wanna lie down, or watch something on tv?" Will asks as he sets our bags down.
"Anything but sleeping again, I've been doing that for the past week."
"Alright, tv it is." Will says as he grabs the remote.
We settle into the couch and I lean my head on his shoulder. He wraps his arm around my shoulder and pulls me closer.
As we're flipping through the channels I realize how little I know about day time television. I guess working all day, every day will do that to you.
Once we eventually settle on watching a random movie that was on I realize how much I've missed moments like this.
Whenever we're working, or when I'm in the hospital, we don't get a chance to just cuddle up together on the couch. We're never home enough to do so. If anything, as messed up as this sounds, I feel like my cancer has brought us closer together. It forces me to share my insecurities with Will, which I normally wouldn't do. I'm a very reserved person and the cancer has helped me open up.
Now of course, none of this would be worth anything if I die before we can get married. I'm not saying that I want to die, I'm just saying that I'm prepared for the inevitable.
This cancer has been going on for almost a whole year now and it's not getting any better. Whenever something good happens something tragic happens right after. I'm not going to get better, and I know this for a fact.
I'm going to die, I don't know when, but I know how. This cancer is going to kill me.

AN: Sorry how short this is. I'll try and get a longer one out soon. I'd also like to thank you for getting us to #1 in manstead stories. I can't believe that we got this far. And it's all because of you guys for reading, voting, and commenting. I am thankful for all of you and I can't believe we did it.
