*WARNING ⚠ VERY SAD! I repeat very sad.*

Guilt... The guilt that Archie felt was eating him alive from inside out. Y/N was dead because of him... If she hadn't stopped her cancer treatment she would still be alive.... the love of life would still be here.

~

Y/N was always sad... So when Archie started hanging out with her the world looked up... that was until she was diagnosed with cancer. The whole world came crashing down on the new couple. There was no way to have seen it coming.

Months going through chemotherapy they all had to come to a halt... As Y/N became pregnant. All her therapy would have to stop unless she got rid of the baby. Now at first, that's what Archie wanted to do if it meant the love of his life would live, but... Y/N wouldn't have it. She said that she would be fine for nine months... But that was far from the truth.

Archie couldn't live with himself being the reason she might die. It seemed as though everyone was mad at him... Everyone except Y/N. She was actually happy.

"I feel so free!" She exclaimed gripping Archie's hand.

"I-I'm glad you do," Archie said faking a smile, she could tell it wasn't real but didn't say anything.

"After we have a baby will we get married?" She asked unpacking the last box in their house.

"I hope so." He said holding in the sigh.

As long as your not dead by then. Were his only thoughts.

It's all his fault. He can't go a day without gilt racking his body.

"Arch... Please don't beat yourself up over this... It takes two people to get pregnant, I chose this." She whispered as he desperately searched for her eyes not able to find them, his fingers brushed against her chin causing her to look up.

"I didn't want this for you... If you die- I do too." He said whipping her tears away.

"Archie no..." She mumbled as tears started coming faster.

"If I die and the baby lives someone has to be there to look out for him or her." She mumbled just barely audible.

"But I-I can't do it without you." He said fingers brushing against her cheek.

"Yes, you can... I believe in you." She said into my shoulder.

"I'm sorry ok- It just happened!" Y/N yelled as her father walked in.

"After all the money we put into your therapy... Now it's all gone to waste." He said shaking his head in disappointment.

She ran out of the room crying... As there was one thing standing out in her mind.

The baby had a full life to live... And it would definitely be longer than her's. So even if she died... It would be worth it.

~

The cries of the baby broke Archie from his thoughts that evening. Sighing he went to the room across the hall, smugging the tears across his cheeks.

"Archie I need you down here." She called.

"Coming!" He called back.

Lifting the baby he rocked her back and forth, smiling as it soothed her. Walking down the wooden steps he made his way into the kitchen grabbing a bottle from the fridge.

"Here you go Arch, I made you 're favorite." His mom said placing her famous hamburgers in front of him.

"Thanks." He said as she took the baby from his tired arms.
