Testing Fate 2/3

It can't be

Colleen POV

I have to go see Rachel. I phone her and tell her I am coming over. I yell to Josh that I will be right back and that Rachel needs me for something. I grab the keys and run out the door to the car. I sit in my car and cry. Cry like I have never before. I start to drive and feel like I am in a dream. I pull into Rachels driveway and she is walking out her front door. "You are scaring me Colleen" she says as she is walking towards me and she sees me crying. I grab her and hug her and just cry. "Colleen please tell me what is going on" she asks again. "Dr Jansen called me......[gasping for air]...about my test results....the tests came back that I have the start of ovarian cancer Rachel" I say sobbing. Rachel starts crying and grabs me. "Where is Josh? Did you tell him?" she asks. I shake my head no. "Colleen you need him. He deserves to know" she says. "I know Rachel but I can hardly handle the information imagine him. He won't be able to handle it." I say. "He has put up with so much Rachel. This will kill him" I say. "Colleen you need to tell him regardless. You need him by your side" she says. She hugs me once again. Rachel walks into the house and asks Matt to follow us with their car. She is driving me home in my car because she doesn't want me in an accident being so upset. Matt and her will then take my kids back with them so Josh and I can talk.

Josh POV

Colleen has been gone for about 45 minutes and then I hear her come through the front door. I hear Rachel as well. I come around the corner from the kitchen. The kids are all up having naps and I was wiping down the counters. "Hey I wasn't expecting to see you Rachel whats......" I stop talking. I look at Colleens face and she looks crushed. "i am just going to grab the kids ok Josh?" Rachel says to me. "What ? why? They are all in bed" I am confused. Matt and her go upstairs and grab the kids and leave right away. "Colleen whats wrong? Why is Rach and Matt taking the kids? Why are you crying?" I ask. I know deep down now that something is terribly wrong. "Babe?" I say as I grab Colleens hands. She sits down on the hallway floor so I sit down as well. "You know the phone call that I answered earlier Josh? It was Dr Jansen with my test results from my checkup" she says sobbing. "okay" I say as I gulp. "The initial tests came back that I have the signs of ovarian cancer Josh" she says balling. I loose it. I cannot comprehend anything. I hug her and cry like I have never cried before. "Baby oh my god....I love you" I say."We will fight it Colleen" I added. My world is crumbling. Colleen is crumbling.
