Chapter 65

Ross' P.O.V

I sit up and look down at Lynn. "Do you still want another baby?" I blurt. I meant to keep that in my head..

"Yeah?" She says weirdly. She gets up and goes upstairs. She comes back down with Romeo in her arms. I grab my phone off the coffee table.

Mom: hey Hun!Would you loves like to join us fordinner?

Ross: sure.  see you soon.

I walk into the kitchen and wrap my arms around Lynn's waist. "Are you still mad at me?" I ask as I kiss her cheek.

She tugs away from me. "no, why?" She sighs.

"wanna go over my parents house for dinner?" I ask, biting my lip. She nods as she gets Romeo's bottle out of the fridge. In the car, she sits with her hands folded in her lap. "Can I hold your hand?"

"hmm?" She looks over at me. "Oh, um, yeah." She slides her fingers in mine.

I sigh deeply. "are you alright?" She nods again. I park the car and look back at our sleeping son. "Can I have a kiss?"

She weakly kisses my lips. I pull back and get out. I get the baby, carrying him in the house. "My baby!" mom yells as she takes the baby.

I notice Lynn isn't behind me. "I'll be right back." I run outside, seeing Lynn sitting by the car. her back rests against the car door, her knees to her chest, and her head in her hands. I sit next to her. "Are you sure you're okay? you're acting strange and its worrying me," I whisper as I rest my head on her shoulder.

"earlier, when we, ya know.." She looks over at me.

I sit up and nod. "that was a little weird how we just switched emotions so quick. but yeah, why?" I smile and wipe her tears.

She holds her stomach in one hand. "it hurts," she glances down.

I stand up. "come on, we'll see if  My mom has pills for it," I pull her up.

She shakes her head. "No, I'll be okay," she says quickly.

I wrap my arm around her waist, helping her to the house. "Okay, baby."

Every one gathers around us and engulfs her into a hug. "Are you okay, Lynn?" My dad asks at dinner.

She looks up from her lap, faking a smile and nodding. "Yes, I'm alright, thank you."

I wipe my mouth and stand up. I pull her into the kitchen. "Is it really bothering you that bad? You can't eat?" She shrugs. "look at me," I lift her chin. My heart shatters as I stare into her teary eyes. Lynn drops to her knees. everyone races into the room. "babe! Baby, look at me. I'll take you to the hospital. just say something so I know you're okay," I panic.

"Ross," she murmurs.

I lift her off the ground, carrying her to the door. "MOMMA!" Romeo yells.

I look back at him. "baby, mommy's sick. stay with grandma," I run to the car. She lays across the backseat. I reach back and hold her hand. She sobs loudly as I drive. "Shh, baby. You're going to be okay," I assure her as I pull into the parking space. I rush her in.

they take her back, leaving me in the waiting room for two hours by, anxiously awaiting a nurse to come out. When she does call Lynn's name, I run over to her. "She's going to be okay," she says,looking at her clipboard. "We ran a few tests and she's begging for us to let you cone back to hear the results with her. So let's go.."

I follow her to a room. Lynn twirls the ring on her finger. "babe," I whisper as I sit next to her. "How do you feel?"

She leans into me. "a little better  I'm just scared," she admits as she breaks into tears again.

I rub her back. "I know," I sigh and kiss her forehead.

"Ms. Calle, does stomach cancer run in your family?" the doctor asks. She nods slowly. "well, thankfully you don't have it. The tests show that the only thing that is wrong, is stress. Do you suffer from depression?" He asks as he looks at his clipboard. Lynn nods again. He sighs deeply and looks at me. "keep her stress free and happy. take these twice a day for seven days," he hands Lynn pills.

She takes them and we leave. I don't start the car, I just stare at her. "Can we please go home?" She whines.

I nod. Romeo stays at my parents house so I can help Lynn recover. we get home at 8:45pm and immediately go upstairs. She sits on the bed. I strip to my boxers and sigh. "here," I whisper as I help her undress.  I hand her one of her tank tops to sleep in. we lay down, her head on my chest as I hold her as close as possible. "I love you," I kiss her forehead.

"love you too," she mumbles against my skin.
