Miss You Already - SwanQueen

Part 8

~Emma POV~

Treatment has been so consistent in my life and it was the one thing I didn't want. I wanted to live my life to the fullest with adventures, mistakes, family and love but it seems I am being punished for some of my mistakes.

Now that my life is on track with a husband and two sweet little angels, my life is cracking before everyone yet I'm trying my very hardest to stay strong for us all, when I'm the weakest one here.

Let's just say I know it's not my job to put up my walls and mask my emotions, the kids no cancer is a big scary thing but I've made sure they know I will be ok, because I will eventually, I'm sure I will after all the treatment, it's just things are hard right now, I have to hide my emotions in front of Killian, Henry and scarlet, my mother, but the one person I feel honest with ...

Is my dear best friend Regina.

"He is a dark-skinned gypsy in aspect, in dress and manners a gentleman" Regina starts reading from our book that we loved so much as I lay in my hospital bed far too much, it's almost as though my own bedroom is unfamiliar judging by how much time I spend here.

"Because he has an erect..."

"And handsome figure and rather morose" she cuts back in taking control of the story.

And that's when Sam my nurse walks on over to check my needle and make sure my blood is stable and treatment is going as planned.

"What do women see in those pouty Mr Darcy types?" He scoffs as he takes a quick glance at the book my best friend is reading beside me. I love Sam, he is the type of nurse I need through this medical procedure.

I need someone with humour and sarcasm, someone who can understand my humour and sarcasm that is often used to hide my nerves, I need laughter and energy to help get through these dark and low times.

"Darcy?"

"Heathcliff is a whole other kettle of man-meat" Regina taunts over him.

"Well.. you can check out this bit of man-meat as he walks away" he jokes with a soft chuckle. Having Sam as my nurse makes things feel so much more comfortable and reassuring until these words float so effortlessly out of his lips. "I need to find a doctor"

"Sam!Sam!" I holler as he walks away.

"Wow!" Regina whistles sexily.

"Stop it, please" he giggles somewhat embarrassed but he knows we're just teasing him and he enjoys the attention and the lively conversations of some patients.

After the treatment I was told to take it steady, so I returned home to whining and shouting coming from the dining room, and let's face it, a mother can never rest when there's two little children and a grown man acting like a child.

It seems Henry won't eat his vegetables yet again, and scarlet is begging for her ears done but Killian says no. However this is something I want to do with her, you know... in case anything does happen to me.

I want to be seen as a fun mum in her eyes and I need these long lasting memories to stay with her, because these are the good ones, so I promised in the summer holidays she can get them done and I will take her, let's just say, Killian was not pleased and was so eager to leave the table.

"Mmm... why don't you take over and I'll go finish work or something" he raises from the table pushing he chair under and beginning to walk away.

"Yep... right after I puke in this salad bowl" I confirm, I couldn't help it, it's the closest thing and It's not like we're eating it anyway.
