“I’m going to wait.”

Dr. Jack lifted a brow. “Listen, Nick, it’s a long procedure. Why don’t you go home and I’ll call you as soon as it’s done.”

“Thanks, but I’ll wait.”

Dr. Jack nodded and clapped him on the shoulder. “Got it. I’ll give you guys a few minutes.”

Nick walked over to the table. Old Yeller lay down with his usual quiet dignity, not really moving or flailing around like a normal dog would. Nope, this one already knew he was gonna have to dig deep and fight. For the first time in years, he was without his Mets bandanna and he looked naked.

He stroked the dog’s fur. “Listen buddy, I have a few things to say. I’m going to wait here the whole time, so you’re not alone. Alexa is home with the girls waiting for news. Simba needs you too. It may be rough, but it’s not time for rainbow bridge. And yes, there is one, because if your mom believes in it, you know it’s true.”

The dog blinked with his big brown eyes. Complete understanding gleamed within their depths, and Nick’s chest loosened a bit. He pressed a kiss to his head. “Now go kick a little ass and have a good sleep. I’ll be here when you wake up.”

He knocked on the door and Dr. Jack came back and wheeled his dog away.

Nick sat down and waited. He thumbed through a magazine, checked his email messages, and surfed the web. He’d already researched heavily into cancer, the different types, and the stats. Animal Planet chirped behind him on the television, and people came and went through the hours. When he checked in with Alexa, he made sure he sounded positive, and kept the conversation short.

Finally, Dr. Jack came out. His gut lurched and a cold sweat broke out on his brow from the look on his face. Oh, God, it was over. He was dead. Old Yeller was dead.

“He made it through the surgery,” the vet said. Nick breathed a sigh of relief but the speech wasn’t done. “It was difficult, though. We got the tumor and it hadn’t spread. If he was younger, it would easier to call, but there were some complications and we almost lost him. We have to wait and see.”

Ice trickled through his veins. He managed a nod. “Ok. Can I see him?”

The vet’s face was gentle. “No, I’m sorry, not yet. I want you to go home, Nick. Give him some time. I promise I’ll check in hourly if that will make you feel better. I think Alexa needs you.”

Alexa. Lily. He wanted to promise them a happy ending, but he didn’t know if they existed any longer. Did they?

“Alright. I’ll come back later. I’m staying here overnight.”

The vet gave him a tired smile. “Fine, I know I won’t be able to change your mind. I’ll tell the nurses to expect you.”

“Thanks.”

He walked out and headed home.
