Little Mixed Directions

Chapter Seventeen: Manly Cough

{Jordan's POV}

I hate doctors surgeries with a passion. I look around the specialist room I'm waiting in. I gathered considering Jesy got tested last year, I might as well get tested in case I have dodgey sperm or something wrong down there.

I look at Perri laughing next to me. He's finding this really amusing that I had to go into a room and produce sperm to be tested.

"Perri, shut it." I grumble. Perri nods and stares at the desk as the doctor comes back in. "And?" I ask him as he sits down.

"Right, Jordan, your sperm are fine," Dr. Andrew reassures me. I sigh in relief but Dr. Andrew still looks a little unhappy. "But, we have found cancer in your left testicle." Dr. Andrew says. Wha- what? I nod and Perri stops breathing heavily.

"Um, what does that mean?" I ask, shocked. "H- how bad is it?" I ask panicking. This is not what I expected! This is horrible.

"We've caught it early," Dr. Andrew smiles. How the heck is he smiling at this moment? "And we can do an operation to remove the cancer and the testicle. That means only one of your testicles will be producing sperm, which will make it slightly harder to reproduce." Dr. Andrew explains.

"Then let's do that." I reply immediately. Dr. Andrew seems a little taken aback.

"Jord, don't you want to look into this?" Perri asks me. I shake my head. I need this operation. Jesy and I need to start a family and I cannot die from cancer.

"Okay then." Dr. Andrew nods, grabbing a folder with all the information.

{Jesy's POV}

My Skype starts buzzing on my computer and I jump onto my bed, accepting the call from Jordan.

"Hey!" I say happily to my husband but I then notice his face. He's been crying and he looks like a wreck. "Jords, whats wrong?" I ask worried. Jade looks across from where she is and asks whats wrong with her hands. I shrug and turn back to Jordan.

"Hey Jes." He sniffs. Jade walks over and squats beside the bed so she's not in view but can still see what's going on. "Um, I have to tell you something." Jordan says.

"Okay." I nod. What's wrong with Jordan? He doesn't cry often so this is pretty big.

"Um, I went to the doctor to get my sperm checked," Jordan starts. What? Are they dodgey? "And um, they're all fine," he continues. Thank goodness! But why's he crying. "But um, I have cancer in my left testicle." Jordan says.

Jade gasps and my jaw drops. My eyes start to feel with tears and I cover my mouth in shock. No! Not Jordan. Oh my goodness. This is terrible!

"A- and?" I ask shocked. Tears roll down my cheeks and Jade's too. He cannot die, I love him to bits and he cannot go.

"I'm having it removed along with my testicle. My right one will still work perfectly fine though," Jordan explains. "It's all good." He nods his head. No Jordan it's not good! You have cancer in your testicle!

"When's the operation?" I ask Jordan. I need to be there when he has the operation.

"Next week. I want you stay on tour though please," Jordan says.

"No Jordan." I shake my head. I have to be there, by his side until he goes under and there when he wakes up. He's my husband for crying out loud!

"Yes Jesy," Jordan says. "I need you to be on tour with your mind removed from this. I'll call you right before and straight after I promise. If you want this to be okay please stay in Australia. You only arrive yesterday, the operation is on the eighth, which is six days away. Please, just stay in Australia," Jordan begs.
