《Silver》19

Silver's POV
It's been a week since Ethan had asked me out and to be honest it's been amazing. He's been so sweet to Aiddan and me. He really is a great father. Aiddan loves him. Although he was a little tense at the idea of sharing with me. It was cute though.
This week has passed by fast and it's been great. But as it was with most things in life, with something good comes something bad. Aiddan had to go to the hospital for another chemo treatment. The doctors say even though it is only his second treatment he is showing a remarkable recovery for a child with lung cancer. To say I was surprised was an understatement. I can't believe how far my little boy has come in life so far. He's been through a lot for a three year old. But I know how strong he is too. And that gives me hope for his future. I know when the time comes that he leaves my house he will be a very capable young man. And I'm so proud of him already.
As I packed an overnight bag for Aiddan and me my phone rang. Grabbing it from the night table next to me I glance at the screen. Unknown Number. Hmm? Who could it be?
Curious, I unlocked my phone and read the message that was left. Shaking with fear I reread the message to make sure I had read it correctly the first time.
Unknown: Roses are red, Violets are blue. You'll soon be mine, and I'll make that come true.
Deleting the message I tried to convince myself that it was a mistake. That whoever sent it meant it for someone else. Putting the device in my pocket I grab the bag in a hurry. Turning around I go to walk out the bedroom door but I run into something firm.

Looking up in fear I quickly sigh in relief. It was Ethan. Thankfully.
Ethan's POV
Walking up to Silver I try to gain her attention. I had been calling her name for a few minutes but she seemed to be lost in thought. As she had turned around she ran into my chest and for a moment I swear I saw fear flash through her eyes. But as quickly as I saw it, it left.
"Why hello there." I chuckle pushing my confusion away.
"Hello." She answered with a slightly quivering voice.
"Are you ready to go?" I asked, grabbing her hand as I laid my forehead against hers.
Looking into my eyes she smiled and gently squeezed my hand. As if for reassurance. Then she whispered looking a tinge bit sad, "As ready as I'll ever be."
"Well let's go get our son and get this over with." I stated trying not to make my tone falter as I felt tears pierce my eyes.
I had to watch my son go through chemo. I didn't like the idea of chemicals being pumped into his body but I really hated the idea of him possibly dying. So I guess I'll just suck it up. For him. And Silver. Hopefully he won't have to go through this much longer. I made sure to get the best chemo doctors and cancer specialists that money could buy. They had reassured me that Aiddan should be fine within the next year, if not less.
I really hope they're not lying to me just to get the money I can give. But even if they are, I will make it my goal to make sure Aiddan lives. No matter what. I'd give away all my companies and every single dime I owned if it means he stays on his Earth, alive.

With Silver in my arms we walk to Aiddan's room. He was sleeping soundly so Silver gently picked him up. Heading to the car I couldn't help but feel as if my life were complete.
I had a son, and the most beautiful woman in the world by my side. I was truly a lucky man. Now...time to go to the hospital.

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of The Creeping Bam (BOOK ONE: The Job)
TAO is a broken world held together with nothing but magic and the will of the gods who protect it and its people. Then thousand years ago THE SUNDERING struck and Tao was almost torn apart by a terrible magical cataclysm which resulted in the planet almost being halted in its journey through the cosmos. It took all the power the gods of Tao could muster to restore its orbit and set it turning again, but in their efforts it was forever changed – its axis was drastically altered, and it now spins in such a way that one face of the world is forever turned from the sun it orbits, leaving half the planet in perpetual darkness. The various humanoid races that survived and now thrive within the habitable parts of THE DAY LANDS have come to live in perpetual fear of what lives beyond THE BORDERLANDS that separate them from whatever dwells within THE NIGHT LANDS, but for ten millennia it has kept its secrets. The land of RUNDAO languishes under the rule of their warlike Northern neighbours, the TEKTEHRAN EMPIRE, while a small, ragtag band of motley adventurers ply their mercenary trade fighting monsters and protecting the common man from the various dangers that haunt the night and prowl the hinterlands on the edges of civilization. THE CREEPING BAM have amassed a modest reputation in their years together, but they’re still just a small-time party of sellswords, thieves, outcasts and mages. They’re also exactly the kind of underdogs the people of Tao doesn’t yet realise are needed to save the world from the encroaching darkness they doesn’t even know is coming … This is a love letter and homage to the high-fantasy worlds of the tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and Warhammer and the sword & sorcery cinema and literature I fell in love with as a kid growing up in the 80s, from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.
