“Dad, I know what that is,” Bennie said. “You don’t have to protect me.”

“Well clearly it wasn’t cheyne stokes,” Harley said, trying to keep it light but serious. “I’m not that bad, yet. As macabre as it is, I’m glad we’re able to talk about it openly. I never wanted anything like this for my kids. Growing up with my dad was hard enough and my parents did everything they could to normalize it for us. But I think we can make the best of it.”

“I just hate it,” Bennie said.

“Me, too,” Jason said, his voice cracking.

“Yeah, I hear ya,” Harley said.

The house was just ahead, Fran’s car in the driveway. “Oh no, you didn’t call Fran.”

“My dad probably called. Remember, he was here working on the basement with me.”

“Oh, right.” Harley hated that her health had forced the family into worrying about her, but there didn’t seem to be a way around it.

Leaving the car out of the garage, they huddled around Harley and trudged up the walkway together, the family crowding at the door as soon as they heard the car pull up. Devon’s smile beamed, oblivious to any concerns. “Mommy’s home!”

“We’re so glad you’re home,” Fran said, patting her, Joe looking on concerned, Tina pale, Angie relieved.

Harley pulled Tina over and hugged her. “False alarm. I think the last round of chemo just wore me down. I’m starving,” she lied. “Do I smell dinner?”

“Let’s eat,” Fran said. “Angie saved the day by pulling the ribs out of the oven in the nick of time.”

“Ribs?” Jason asked.

“Just for you,” Harley said.

“I can’t look a turkey in the eye,” Fran said. “So happy we aren’t eating turkey again.”

The family laughed, a tragedy narrowly averted.
