Katherines body felt numb. She didnt remember how but she did know she was in the hospital.

She could hear shouting from the hallway but only certain words where audible from behind the wooden door.

“No”, “it cant be right” and “cancer” stood out among the thunderous roars.

Then she realised just what had happened and who was behind that door. This wasn’t supposed to happen she was supposed to die without them all knowing now that didn’t seem possible.

The door rattled and james voice sounded thunderous from behind and katherine felt a wave of fear take over what would he say?does he hate her?

The handle of the door turned and in walked doctor sharky. His face was solemn and she could already sense what he was about to say.

“Im not going to have much longer am i” when she cut him up it wasnt a question it was a statement she already knew the answer.

He shook his head. No.

“James knows doesnt he” again katherine wasnt asking He nodded

“Send him in then. I guess i have some explaining to do”

Doctor sharkey simply nodded giving her a half smile. He understood he had seen the cancer eat her from the inside. He understood why she didn’t tell her husband it can be hard for loved ones to watch a patients health decline and at the speed of katherines deterioration especially difficult.

He understood why but it didnt mean it was the right thing to do. James needed to know he had a right after all when katherine passes he will be left to parent a child by himself. Would he be able to handel it?

James had been angry when he had spoken to the doctor. But he didnt expect much less he was in pain. The sudden thought of loosing a woman he loved would obviously tare him up.

When doctor sharky stepped back into the hall james was on the hard wooden seats provided for visitors

His head betwee his knees and his hands working themselves through his hair. He was a broken man that he was certain of.

James raised his head at the sound of footsteps. “She wants to talk to you” doctor sharky spoke to james in a calm caring voice. James suspected it was symathy but

he didnt want nor de he need this asswholes sympathy.

Here before him stood a man who was letting his wife die. A man who should be stuffing her full of pills.

Drilling them full of hope and powering through like there was at least a glimour of hope for katherine instead he threw in the towel he walked away with the final diagnostic being death.

No. That wasnt ok. Because that would mean he would be alone again. And he just got katherine back.

James stood up nodding before slowly inching himself towards this so called doctor. He got uo close to his face before murmuring five words “this is for my wife” he drew his fist back and let it hurl back into doctor sharkys face.

He walked towards katherines room leaving doctor sharky standing holding his jaw.

Katherine didn’t know what to say to james but the truth sounded like a good place to start. She lay in the bed dreading to see the look on his face as he entered the room.

The door opened and she refused to look up into his cold calculating eyes

She refused to look at him even ad he stood by her bed. It was when he cleared his voice cutting the leangthy silence short that she raised her head.

She wished she hadnt.

His eyes were dull and watery. His hair tousled in an unruly mess. His face just mirrored how she felt. Defeated, Heartbroken and an emotional wreck.

“Im sorry” she finally spit it out

His eyes widened a little “why? You dont need to be sorry”

“Im sorry i cant give you what you need” she whispered the lump in her throat making it hard to speak.

James crossed his arms “and what is it you think i need katherine?” His question supprised katherine she thought it was an obvious answer but if she needed to spell it out she would.

“Love james. I cant give you a steady relationship one with a future. I cant give you anymore children. And i cant be there for you and ella.” The tears started running down her face and she felt james use his thumb to wipe away the tear on her right cheek.

“Katherine. I love you. If i could change it so i was the one in your position i would in a heartbeat”

“But you cant” her sob cut him off

“I know but i wouldnt have our relationship any other way. You make me happy. And i hope you are happy too.

I would rather have you in my life however long that

may be than loose you now because you thought it was best for me. Ella and i habe eachother. Say your goodbyes she knows you love her. Hell katherine make a damned bucket list. I will make every thing on it come true. I

want you to leave me happy and in peace not torn up and worried. This is your time and wether you think it best or not im going to be there with you. Im annoyed you didnt feel you could tell me but i will support you.” His soothing voice reassured katherine and she felt the tightness in her chest release. A weight lift of her shoulders.

She knew she should have told james but she couldnt find the words and now she had had the conversation however brief she was reassured james would be ok.

He kissed her passionately. Its was soft and gentle. It didnt last long but it didnt have to. That kiss held the words they had left umspoken.

A knock on the door diverted thier attention pulling them back to the sad reality as elena walked in carrying a tear stained faced ella.

“Mommy are you sick?”

It had already been one week. Nothing had changed. Katherine still lay in the hospital bed. James had paid for doctors to come in. Treat her.

She didnt want it. The false hope. She could tell it was her time and she had to accept it and eventually he would too. She spent her week playing with ella and scouring dating websites looking for james’s perfect match. She didnt find one good enough.

James spent his time in the hospital with katherine and at work trying to sort out his company.

Katherine was supposed to be an organ donor but aftera long talk they decided it would be best for everyone if she didnt. Her organs would be used for scoentific purposes and they felt ella would prefer her mother in one peice when she gets older.

The doctors james had called in where hopeful but after a check up shook their heads at james no words were needed. He was loosing hope.

Katherine sat up in her bed watching the clock. It was quater past two james would be her in 56 minutes and 37 seconds not that she was counting. The knock on her door startled her a little and she was even more supprised when the door open and there stood shelly in all her

glory.

Her blomde hair curled to perfection. Heavy makeup caked her face. And her bright pink stilettos made her look long and awkward.

She grined at katherine devilishly before trying to walk in. She obvioisly couldn’t walk in her shoes as she stumbled multiple times crossing the private hospital room katherine had attained.

“Well well. I must admit when i heard the glorified katherine saunders was sick i couldnt have been happier. And when i heard it was long term and you where on your death bed it was like a dream come true.” Her voice came out scratchy. It hirt katherines ears to listen to this stuck io cow for longer than five seconds

Katherine sighed loudly “What do you want shelly?” Her eyes rolled in annoyance at the woman

“I just wanted ti let yiu know when your six feet under ill look after james for you” her snarky tone bothered katherine.

“You can stay away from him shelly he doesnt need a whore with a never ending list of std’s trailing after him like a lap dog. James can take care of himself and even if he couldn’t he would rather a stripper than yiu because frankly they have more class in their big toe than you have in your whole body.”

Shelly stood gapeing at katherine like a fish completely shook at her honesty and straightforward comments. Katherine could guess the woman had been insulted before but to the extent katherine had taken it probably not.

She would have felt a little bad but after the comments shelly had come out with lately katherine thought. She deserved her moment just as much.

“Now katherine we were once friends” shelly tried to suck up seeming to have finally found her voice again.

“No shelly lets be honest for a moment here we were never friends, we never will be and if you try to associate yourself with me i would deny it ti anyone. As for me laying on my death bed as much as i wish i wernt it would be wrong to deny it but you can fucking bet when i die im going to haunt your ass so much you’ll wish your dead. if it were even possible.”

Shellys jaw hung even more at katherines sharp words. She tried to compose herself straightening her skirt and flipping her hair before giving katherine another sour look and leaving.

Adrenaline was coursing through katherine in those few minutes she was telling shelly off. Her heart was racing in anticipation and her fingers twitched itching to give the bitchs hair a rough tug.

The door slammed shut after shellys exit and all that remained was the smell of cheap knock of perfume she had purchased from the bargain store down the road.

Katherine picked up the book she had been reading earlier from the nightstand. A book titled the girl on the train. She loved it and had read it miltiple times. The author was so good at leading them through the story holding the readers attention and creating mystery.

Rachel the main character in book reminded her of someone she used to know. A woman whom was lost an strayed from the path she ince followed. The book hit home and made it even more special.

And just like every other time katherine read the book she found herself lost in it.

James walked in at exactly half four. He stayed till katherine fell asleep every night. Some nights he read to her other nights they reminisced over their young love and wild memories. And other nights he got on to the hospital bed and just lay holding her rocking her whilst he told her about his day.

The time she spent with him flew in. And when he wasnt there she counted the hours untilhe was.

The day was always ling but ella visited her in the mornings to keep her company alongside elena.

Ella brought her paintings and read her some of her storybooks. The one thing that none of them ever did was talk about how long they had left.

They each knew thier time was limited but also that the more time they spent worrying the more time they were wasting. Instead they relished every moment in each others company and had fun.

James walked into the house that evening head low. Katherine was getting worse but he refused to tell her that. Instead they told her there was no progress and no deterioration. No change.

He heard ellas giggleing comming from the kitchen and walked in to find her sitting at the island in the middle of the room sharing a tub of ben and gerrys ice cream with elena. He laughed and ella looked over at him smiling. Her mouth lined with chocolate remnants.

“Daddy your home” she smiled but didnt budge from her seat instead shovelling ice cream into her mouth again.

James chuckled and walked over pecking her cheek. “Got another spoon?”
