Chapter Nine

I didn't know how long we sat in that position. Minutes, hours, days . . .

But I refused to move an inch until she was ready.

Her whimpers grew softer, her grip around me loosened. She picked her head up and looked up at me. Her nose was runny, her cheeks crimson, and she was as beautiful as the day I met her.

My heart.

My other half.

The reflection of my soul.

"I told you not to hug me." She pushed off the ground and tried to stand, but woozy from the vodka, she stumbled.

"What are the doctors suggesting?" I asked as I followed her into the kitchen.

She stood on the other side of the island. "When you took Lyra to Seattle, I had a partial hysterectomy. They removed a small part of my uterus. Since they caught it early, the oncologist suggested not removing the whole thing since I'm still very young and I need the hormones in my body. The plan is a round of chemo and radiation."

"So they caught it early enough?"

"Yeah." She sounded defeated.

I reached across and grabbed her hand. "That's great news!"

"This took my mother from me. It took my grandmother from her." She shook her head, her eyes closing as she began to cry again.

"Don't say that." I rushed to her side to hug her, but she pulled away from me.

"It's true. And who knows the damage I've done to my body with all the hormones I shot myself with because Jeremy wanted to get pregnant."

"Is that why you won't let him see Lyra?"

"I don't want to talk to you about this." She pulled a bottle of water out of the fridge.

"No, you have to. We have a child together, so whether you like it or not, I'm in this with you."

"This is all Jeremy's fault." She looked out across the ocean and her eyes glassed over with tears.

"You can't say that."

"Why not?"

She shrugged. "He wanted a kid. I took every type of hormone out there and out of nowhere I have cancer. I was fine. I was fine after Lyra and my scans had been coming back normal for years now. And the second I go on hormones I have cancer?" I knew Sarah was speaking out of anger. She wasn't thinking straight.

"What is the prognosis?" I asked quietly.

"They're hoping that surgery and chemo will cure it, but they are doing radiation as well."

"I want to be there, through everything."

"Yeah, sure. Me, you, and Chelsea." She threw her hands in the air sarcastically.

"Chelsea and I broke up the day you got married." I leaned back on the countertop. Sarah snapped her head up at me and I shrugged.

She shook her head slowly. "You never said anything." I watched her eyes as she tried to remember the past year.

"You never asked."

"You know what? It doesn't matter." She inhaled a calming breath and let it out slowly. "Jordan, you don't need to do this for me."

I walked over to her and brushed a loose tendril away from her face. "I know I don't have to do anything, Sarah, but I want to, that's the difference. You're the mother of my child and I want to be there for you." She turned her face and closed her eyes. My fingers lifted her chin back to me. "Promise me you'll fight?"
