patience is key.

Once I got the pizza ordered and Audrey came back downstairs from washing up, she picked a movie for us to watch. The doorbell rang, I handed Audrey the popcorn bowl getting up to go answer it.

"Sorry I'm late."

"It's okay. Movie just started anyways. We're watching Hocus Pocus. Oh, I need to talk to you about something. Audrey wants to know if you can make it to her field trip tomorrow."

"Field trip? What time?"

"Twelve. I already explained to her that you have therapy at that time. They're going to the pumpkin patch. She wants the whole family to go, and she thinks that we won't be so focused on drama."

"Drama? There's no drama between none of us not that I know of. Right?"

"No, no there's no drama at all. We're all good. I told her I would talk to you to see what you would say."

"It would be nice for all of us to go and enjoy ourselves, but, I can't. Sorry."

"It's okay. There's always fun things we could all do together. Christmas is in two months and also your birthday so..don't feel bad. Did you see your dad?"

"Yeah, I saw him and I was going to stay for the party, my mom wanted me to but, I told her I had plans with Audrey, he says thanks by the way. Should I talk to Audrey? I hope she won't be upset."

"I doubt it, but yeah you can talk to her. I ordered pizza if you're hungry, and we popped some popcorn."

"Mommy, are you coming to watch?"

"I'm coming sweetie, your dads here." I said walking into the living room.

"Hi daddy."

"Hey princess, I want to talk to you." Derek says sitting on the sofa, sitting Audrey on his lap.

"I already know. You can't make it tomorrow, it's okay."

"Yeah. I'm sorry I wish I could, but I have therapy everyday at twelve."

"Are you getting any better?"

"Yeah. I'm getting better. Therapy is going great. That's why I can't miss it. You want me to get better don't you?"

"Yes. What if you don't get better?" She asks. He kisses the side of her head and hugs her tightly.

"If I don't, you'll be the first to know. But let's not think like that okay. I'm here now, and I love you..very much."

"I love you too. Is cancer bad?"

"Yeah, it's bad, but I'm going to be okay. That's only if I take my medicine and go to therapy. I at least want to keep fighting this for you."

"I would like to come to therapy with you. Remember when you refused to do physical therapy after your surgery, no one could get you out of bed, but I could. You did it for me."

"I would do anything for you. Always remember that." He says, she nods her head and lays her head on his chest while watching the movie. I smiled and laid on his shoulder eating some popcorn. Audrey went to sleep on his chest as Issac did the same on Justin's. I noticed Justin was asleep, I grabbed Issac and took him upstairs. I changed his diaper before putting him to bed going back downstairs.
