The next morning Dominic and I took DJ to the doctor while Ben stayed with Anthony. I sat patiently and worried but DJ managed to help retain my happy smile throughout the wait. Looking up at me, giving me hugs and holding my finger seemed to keep me all put together without breaking down. Dominic assured me it would be okay and that we would get DJ the medical care he needed no matter what it was. I gave him a smug hopeful grin, I wanted my DJ, my love-bug to be okay but I could only hope for the best. "DJ" the nurse called and Dominic carried him while I followed behind. The nurse weighed him and measured his height before taking us to our examining room.
dearest readers; I'm so sorry for not updating here lately. I'm out with the flu, I'll be trying to write an update but I'm worried it wouldn't meet my standards. I can't feel my thumb typing this message so I probably spelt something wrong. Anyways, as always please be patient and I'll have an update. I love you guys so much for sticking through to this story. Love always, Sweet_GummyBear
The doctor came in asking us about DJ while he washed his hands, "well, lets just take a look." My hand grasped Dominic's as the doctor checked out DJ's leg, moving it, pressing on it and x-raying it. My heart nervously beating out of my chest felt and sounded loud. I wanted to burst into tears no matter the diagnosis, "he has a cancerous tumor in his hip that's rapidly spreading throughout his body. He won't ever walk again unless he has surgery, since he is one year old, he is not young enough to do the surgery." My face buried into Dominic's chest I immediately started balling at the word 'cancerous,' I could feel Dominic tearing up and hear him sniffing. "What's going to happen to him?" Dominic asked with a crack in his voice. I wanted to run out of the room and go home afraid of what could happen. "For him to be old enough for the anesthesia he needs to be at least 3 years old. I'm afraid DJ can't wait that long, at the rate the cancer is spreading DJ may only have a few months." I sobbed even louder into Dominic's chest, Dominic began to cry and that made me cry louder. "I'm so sorry for the both of you, there's just nothing I can do unless he can make it to 3." The doctor came over to hug us and wished us the best of luck. With tears streaming down my face and my eyes red I picked up DJ, carrying him like a newborn careful not to hurt his leg.
Once we got home Ben was anxiously waiting in the living room. Tears drying before they fell off my warm red cheeks still rolled from bloodshot eyes. Ben's hopeful smile that nothing serious was wrong faded to a depressed frown, "he needs surgery to remove a cancerous tumor, he's not old enough to undergo the anesthesia and without it he may only have a few months left." I broke down into tears, I thought I was stronger than this but looking down at DJ peacefully napping in my arms was only more reason to sulk. Ben teared up but I could tell he was holding back. Dominic, Trey, Yukon and Ben have been inseparable from the boys and still are. They loved both equally and it wasn't going to be the same without DJ running his heart out to attack daddy's leg when he came home. I slugged up the stairs with DJ and took him into my room, I laid him down beside me where Dominic sleeps, laying down facing him. DJ rolled over hugging onto my arm with his head just above my shoulder, I smiled just a little bit and kissed his forehead. -------------------------------- Questions for the readers: • What do you think of this story so far? • Do you think DJ will make it? • Whose your favorite/ least favorite character? • Would you prefer more funny happy updates or ones with a twist or cliffhanger? • Should there be a sequel to this story? * I would appreciate if you could answer these questions, it gives me feedback.
