Mafia King & Model Queen

Chapter Sixty Eight

Karly stood there in Luke's arms as he held her close. He moved them to the couch and sat down with her in his lap.

"Babe, what is it?" Karly asked.

"I went to the doctor to get a checkup on the headaches I've been having, baby, they did some scans and found something," Luke said.

"Oh god no," Karly said.

"I have a brain tumor," Luke said

"Oh my god no!" Karly said. She buried her face in his neck. He held her close.

"They gave me two options, chemo/radiation treatment or surgery to remove it," Luke said.

"Which one are you doing?" Karly asked.

"Going to start the chemo/radiation treatment, if it doesn't work, then surgery," Luke said.

"Oh god Luke," Karly said.

"They said there are risks with surgery," Luke said.

"Like they could make a mistake and you would become an invalid or lose your memory," Karly said.

"Or I could die on the table," Luke said.

"Oh god no!" Karly said. He held her in his arms as she cried.

"Baby, I want us to be prepared for any possibility," Luke said.

"What do you mean?" Karly asked.

"I need to go see Jack and Kevin about making a will, and drawing up adoption papers," Luke said.

"Adoption papers?" Karly asked.

"For our babies, if something happens to me, they will have a father," Luke said.

"But who?" Karly asked.

"Ryan, baby," Luke said.

"Luke, how long have you know about this tumor?" Karly asked.

"Baby, I swear, I just found out today," Luke said.

"Then why did you bring him into our bed last night if you just found out today," Karly said.

"I had my suspicions on what could be causing the headaches, I wanted to be prepared and I didn't want to say anything until I knew for sure after seeing the doctor today," Luke said.

"Does he know?" Karly asked.

"No baby," Luke said. She got up and went to the studio and got Ryan and brought him to the office and closed the door and Luke told him about his brain tumor.

"I hope you are going to do whatever it takes," Ryan said.

"I am, but I want to be prepared in case something happens, I'm going to have the lawyers draw up adoption papers," Luke said.

"Adoption papers?" Ryan asked.

"The babies Karly is carrying, they will need a father if I'm gone," Luke said.

"I will be the best father to them as I can be, but not as good as you of course, but I will be the father they need but you are the father they deserve," Ryan said.

"So you are in this for the long haul," Karly said.

"I'm not going anywhere, Karly, you both are stuck with me, I have to say this, I have fallen for you, Karly, from the first second I saw you," Ryan said.

"If something happens to me, I know my family will being good hands," Luke said.

"Speaking of family, you need to tell ours and Hayley," Karly said.
