Yes i am do you want me to go get something no we have some leftovers in the fridge that doesn't sound very appetizing your right so what do you want i have a surprise lets go Brandon grabbed Marie's hand and ran to the car where are we going i told you it's a surprise fine i will just be quiet and look where were going oh ya here is a blindfold you get to put on seriously Brandon smiled and nodded fine Marie put the blindfold on and kept quite Brandon waved his hand in front of her face to make sure she couldn't see. Brandon drove off and headed into the sunlight. Marie i have been thinking Marie looked at Brandon about what? for one thing about the baby Marie smiled and bit her lip i can't stop thinking about our baby. I remember when we first got married and the doctor told us it was impossible for me to get pregnant we were pretty upset and we thought about adoption but we didn't have enough money so we waited and now i am pregnant it's a miracle. Brandon sighed and kept driving, it was silent for awhile Brandon finally turned off the car and said were here Marie took off her blind fold her mouth dropped Brandon had drove all the way to where there first date was om my gosh Marie couldn't believe that he had done this. I thought we should celebrate our baby Marie walked over to Brandon and gave him a hug and a kiss. I love you Brandon and i love you Marie they walked hand in hand into the restaurant it looked the same to Marie lights strung on the ceiling wooden floors little square tables with blue table clothes candles hanging from the ceiling a waterfall inside filled with Lillie's and candles floating on the water the walls were covered in vine and flowers pictures were hanging from the walls Marie looked closer at one of the pictures that was right by there table it was of her and Brandon they were smiling at each other Brandon come look at this Brandon came over to Marie and saw the picture i remember that it was the day we saw each other and you left me standing there all alone i waited for you but i knew you were gone but that night was the night i looked into your eyes and saw the sparkle that i only saw from you that was when i knew we were meant to be together. Marie kissed Brandon on the cheek we should eat i'm so hungry Brandon laughed let me help you with that he walked Marie over to there table and went to the kitchen he grabbed someone from the kitchen and came back are dinner should be here soon that was fast what did you get it's a surprise. another surprise i can't wait Marie said with a smile

What now

Doctor Short came back in to the room. I'm sorry Marie, Marie didn't know what to say she said the first thing that came out of her mouth. Your sorry, you come in tell me that i am pregnant and then tell me i have cancer what do you want me to say that i understand life goes on we'll news flash Doc this is not ok and life does not go on i just can't do this Marie started sobbing Brandon grabbed her hand and wrapped his into hers. Marie look at me Marie was being stubborn and wouldn't look up Marie please she finally looked into his light blue eyes darling we will get through this togather i promise. Marie smiled at Brandon and nodded her head Marie sighed and looked at doctor Short i'm sorry i over reacted Marie you have every right to be upset but i need you to listen to me before we jump to conclusions Marie nodded her head yes Doctor Short. Doctor Short smiled alright first off this condition is not going to be easy it's a good thing we caught the cancer before it grew we could make it all go away with treatments but your pregnancy complicates things we can't do treatment while your pregnant. Marie was lost in her thoughts so Brandon spoke up where would that leave us? you have a couple of options you could terminate the fetis so we can start the treatments or you could just stay pregnant and not have any treatments. What would happen if i don't take treatments and i keep my baby? We have never had this happen so the chances are you or the baby could die in child birth chances are you both could. So one of us is going to die anyway we go with this? I am not certain how the results are going to work out. Doctor Short will you give me and my wife a moment to figure this out Doctor Short got up and left the room. Brandon i don't want to loose are baby, but Marie i can't live without you he put his warm hand on her pale cheek i know but this baby means so much to me and who knows maybe Doctor Short is wrong I hope so Marie but if he isn't i could loose both of you Marie turned away Brandon's hand slipped off Marie's cheek. Brandon walked out to get Doctor Short, Marie sat there thinking how much she loved this baby more than anything and didn't want anything to happen to him or her even if that meant taking her life.Brandon walked back in with Doctor Short so what have you decided Brandon looked into Marie's eyes and sighed we are going to keep are baby and not do any treatments.Are you sure? Yes Marie spoke up unless there is a way i can keep my baby and get rid of the cancer then this is are decision? I am afraid that's all i can offer you. Then we will see you in a month correct so you can check on our baby yes that will be fine see you then. Marie and Brandon left the room with confidence. Marie got into the car while Brandon scheduled another appointment as she was waiting Marie was thinking how scared she really was. Doctor Short can i talk to you Oh yes Brandon when we come back in will you check Marie too i just want to make sure everything is going to be ok yes Brandon i will and one more thing please don't tell her that i asked you to. Doctor Short smiled at Brandon with assurement that he would keep his word. Brandon left the office got into the car and drove him and Marie home.
