*Amari's POV*
*Next Day*

"Natalie, wake up" I gently nudged Natalie.

"Yes baby" she sleepily answered

"I know I shouldn't have but I've been thinking"

"Amari" she snuggled up to me

"Well you see babe the thing is, I'm pretty sure that if you have cancer then we need to start making plans"

"Can we not think about this now" she frowned

"The sooner the better"

"Fine we can start making a plan"

"First you and beauty are identical twins therefore there's a possibility she has cancer too"

"Do you think we should tell her so she can get checked out"

"Maybe once we find out wether or not it's cancer"

"Babe all this cancer talk is depressing can we like take the kids out to have some fun as a family because my appointment is tomorrow"

"Fine we'll talk about it tomorrow then" I got out of bed and went into Jaheim's room.

"Flash get up" I yelled from the doorway. He just kept snoring.

"Flash boy if you don't get that ass up and moving Imma knock the air out of you" I yelled and he moved. Then I walked into the twins room. Lord have mercy these boys don't need to be awaken. I thought they were bad at 1 and then worse at 2 but 1 and 2 got nothing on 3. These boys are talking up a storm and they're very intelligent for 3 year olds.

"Rise and shine it's time for the troops to move out. Are you two cadets ready" I yelled

"Sir yes sir" Kieran tiredly responded

" mhmm yeah" Kylan tiredly responded.

"Excuse me cadet" I picked him up and held him a upside down

"Sir yes sir" he giggled

"That's what I thought, now forward March" I yelled out. "Sound off"

"Ready one, two" the boys echoed

"Breakfast"  I yelled

"Three, four" they echoed.

"Hey hey get shut all dat noise up" Natalie yelled.

"Sorry" I looked back at the boys.

"You woke up Amaria" Natalie mugged us

"Sorry princess" I took Amaria from Nat and kissed her tear stained cheeks.

"Loud mouth" Natalie mugged me

"How about I take my princess out to breakfast to make up for waking her up" I kissed Amaria.

"Us too" the twins said in unison.

"Yes" I laughed. We all got dressed in our ashy clothes aka sweatpants and such. We hopped in the car.

"Where are we going to eat" Natalie asked

"Well umm we can go to the Diner" I nodded

"Waffle house" Kieran yelled

"IHOP" Kylan yelled

"I said diner"I yelled

"Denny's" Natalie smiled

"Change of plans, we are going to Denny's" I laughed. The Jhonsons rolled up to Den's.

"Aye Duce give me my regular spot" I hollered at my boy.

"Yo slick umm well hold on cause it's dirty G"

"Who had dey dirty asses in my seat"

"Who da fuck you calling dirty" a familiar voice yelled out

"Ty you ugly motherfucker what are you doing here" I dapped him

"Apparently sitting my dirty ass in your seat" he mugged me

"Nah I'm playing Ty" I laughed

"Whatever slick and aye I heard you quit" he raised an eyebrow

"Yep why"

"Cause Dallas is stepping down and you were next in line but since you out he's looking for peeps and I think I'm in there" he smiled

"Aight whatever Ty" I waved him off and walked towards my table. Jaheim ran up next to me.

"So uncle Dallas sells drugs" Jaheim whispered

"Apparently he quit so don't worry G" I ruffled his hair.

"Don't" he pushed my hand away.

We all sat down and ordered our regulars. The Jhonsons are a family of routine. Kieran and Kylan sat next to each other and made funny faces. Jaheim sat next to me and tried to copy me. We got the same drink and the same food. Natalie sat across from me and held Amaria.

"So Jaheim i talked to your English teacher and she said that if you get atleast a C on your next assignment that will bring your grade up and you'll be able to play football" Natalie smiled. I zoned out on their conversation.

What if Nat as cancer and then she dies. She'll never be able to go to another one of flash's football games. She won't even get to see our kids grow up. Why this why now why her. I always wondered why she's the one with cancer. Why not me. Then she won't even tell me what type of cancer. I tell myself maybe she doesn't know but I feel she does know and doesn't want to tell me. I sat and blankly stared until our food came.

Natalie raised her eyebrows at me. She knows I'm over thinking things when she told me not to worry but I can't help but worry. She worries me. I just want her to be okay. She's my best friend and the love of my life. I've been sitting on my ass about this proposal for too long. I need to make Natalie my wife before it's too late. She rubbed my leg with her foot and snapped me out of my deep thoughts again. I ate my food and tried to have conversations but my mind was too full of thoughts
