"Mama!" The small girl screamed out when she saw Ava start bawling. Ava just quickly tried to wipe her tears as she nodded. " know Mal no cry," Ava told the toddler who smiled and nodded, but got another nose bleed.

"Mama! Bweed!" The small girl screamed out again making Ava sigh as she pulled out another napkin and applied it to Mal's nose. A few seconds later Alison arrived as she quickly ran over to Ava and hugged her.

"I can't believe this is happening!" Ava cried out as she broke down sobbing all over Alison who just nodded. "I know Ava. Life is just so cruel sometimes. Ava what is that," Alison told Ava when she spotted the napkin covered in Mal's blood from her nosebleed.

Ava just held up the napkin as she looked at Alison. "Oh are you looking at this. Yeah she had another nose bleed. God how could I be so stupid! She's been having so many nosebleeds lately, lots of bruises, and she wasn't really gaining any weight, and she was pretty pale, but I figured that was normal! I suck at parenting! How did I not see the warning signs? They were literally right in front of me!" Ava screamed out as she was blaming herself again.

Alison just sighed as she hated that Ava kept blaming herself. "Ava it's not your fault. You're right all of those things are pretty normal when talking about a toddler. Trust me I'm a mom and I don't think I would see anything wrong with those things either. The only thing I would have been worried about is the weight loss, but other than that nose bleeds are pretty normal. And children are always falling down and getting hurt. And Ava, Mal has always been pale. And it's harder with toddlers because they are too young to tell us what's wrong," Alison rambled out trying to make Ava stop blaming herself.

Ava just sighed. "But still! How did I not notice it! I spend every day with her! I should have noticed something was off!" Ava screamed out. "Ava it's okay," Alisom began to say, but Ava just lost it after that.

"HOW! HOW IS ANY OF THIS OKAY! MY TWO YEAR OLD WAS JUST DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER! A DEADLY DISEASE! I just don't know what to do anymore! She's going to suffer and I can't stop it!" Ava screamed out making Alison sigh as she knew Ava was right, but she still wanted to make her feel better.

"Ava I know this is hard," Alison began to say, but Ava wasn't having it. Alison had two healthy kids right now. She had no clue what this felt like.

"HOW! YOU'RE LUCKY! YOUR CHILDREN ARE PERFECT AND HEALTHY! YOU DON'T HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH THIS! I AM GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH HER SUFFER AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP HER! HOW IS ANY OF THAT OKAY!" Ava screamed out leaving Alison speechless as she knew Ava was right.

"Mama!" The small two year old screamed out as she knew her mama was upset, but she didn't understand why. Ava just groaned as she had completely forgotten Mal was there. "Sh**! Yeah Mal," Ava called out to the toddler.

"Wa you taw bow?" Mal asked Ava who just sighed as she didn't want to tell Mal what was going on. "Nothing! Listen to Baby Shark!" Ava told the toddler, making her smile. "Yay! Baby Sawk!" Mal screamed out as she started singing Baby Shark again.

Making Ava sigh in relief. While Alison watched the toddler in sadness. "Ava I may not understand what it's like to be a parent to a child who has cancer, but Ava I care about Mal. I see her everyday as well and she has play dates with my girls. Ava trust me you're not the only one that's going to have to watch her suffer, but Ava she needs to have a fighting chance! Don't give up! She needs you now more than ever!" Alison told Ava trying to give her a pep talk to convince her to not give up.

Ava just nodded as she looked at Alison. "I know but this is just so hard! I don't want to see her suffer! I don't want her to feel like she's not a normal kid! I don't want her to die at the age of two! She's a baby right now! She doesn't deserve this!" Ava cried out making Alison nod as she hugged Ava again.

"I know Ava like I said life can be so cruel. Now how about I go with you to the cancer center so you're not alone," Alison told Ava who nodded. "Yes please! I can't go in there by myself! I'm gonna lose it!" Ava told Alison who nodded again.

"Okay come on. Are you ready?" Alison asked Ava who shook her head no. "No but I have to do this anyway," Ava told Alison who nodded as she got into her car as they both drove to the Children's Cancer Center they were being sent to.

"I can't believe this is actually happening!" Ava screamed out as they reached the cancer center. Alison just nodded as she looked at Ava. "I know Ava, but we have to go in there," Alison told Ava who just sighed as she unbuckled the toddler and they went into the cancer center.

As soon as they entered the small girl started squirming as she wanted down. "I wan dow!" Mal screamed out, making Ava sigh as she placed Mal down and she immediately started giggling and running inside accidentally running into someone causing her to fall down and get another bruise.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" Evie screamed out as she helped the small girl up and she gasped when she saw the bruise and the nosebleed that she caused on the small girl as she hadn't meant to do that.

She was still new at volunteering. "Oh my gosh! You poor baby! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!" Evie screamed out as she tried to help the toddler who couldn't stop staring at her in shock as she looked exactly like her mama, but with blue hair and a little bit younger.

Before Evie could really help the toddler Ava came running over. "Mal there you are! Oh sh** another nose bleed!" Ava groaned out as she picked up the toddler that couldn't stop staring at Evie.

"Mal what are you doing! Come on we have to go see the doctor... Okay what the!" Ava screamed out as she looked up and got a good look at Evie who looked almost identical to her, but with blue hair and she looked a few years younger around Carlos's age.

Evie just laughed as she looked at Ava's confused face. "Hi! I'm Evie! I'm a volunteer here!" Evie told Ava who just nodded. "I'm Ava and holly wow you look like me!" Ava told Evie who laughed again.

"Yeah I thought that too but didn't want to say anything! And I am so sorry about her! I wasn't watching where I was going and I accidentally ran into her! I promise I didn't mean to hurt her!" Evie rambled out as she was feeling horrible.

Ava just rolled her eyes as she looked at the younger girl. "It's fine. She bruises easily right now. And the nose bleed thing is normal right now too. Anyway I would love to stay and chat but my sister was just diagnosed with a deadly disease and I have to go talk about treatment," Ava screamed out making Evie gasp.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I just completely forgot this was a cancer center! I am so sorry!" Evie screamed out feeling horrible.

Ava just rolled her eyes as she didn't feel like entertaining some kid when she was going through a lot. "Yeah well," Ava told Evie with an attitude as she picked up the toddler and left.

Alison just quickly ran over to Evie feeling bad for how rude Ava had been to the younger girl. "I'm so sorry about that she's just going through a lot right now. So you're a volunteer?" Alison asked Evie, making her smile.

"Oh yeah no I totally get it! I've seen plenty of people more rude than that! And yeah I'm a volunteer! I love helping people and it looks good on college applications!" Evie told Alison who started studying the girl.

"College applications?" Alison asked Evie trying to gauge how old Evie was. "Yeah I'm 14 well almost 15! I know it's early to be talking about college and stuff, but my dream school is BHU and I heard it's like almost impossible to get into that school!" Evie rambled out causing Alison to take in the information.

This girl was the exact same age as Carlos. "You're 14 almost 15?" Alison asked Evie again, making her nod. "Yeah! Why?" Evie asked Alison not understanding what was going on. Alison just nodded as she was trying to play detective.

"Nothing, it's just that you look so much like Ava and Ava has a brother named Carlos who is 14 almost 15. I just thought it was a coincidence," Alison told the younger girl making her smile.

"Oh that's cool! Yeah well I actually don't know who my parents are to be honest! I live with a foster family!" Evie told Alison just making her feel even more as though her hunch could be right.

"Oh really," Alison asked Evie, making her nod. "Yeah! Anyway I should get back to work before they "fire" me! And again I'm so sorry about um... your daughter?" Evie told Alison assuming Mal was hers.

Alison just laughed a little bit as she looked at Evie. "Oh no! Mal isn't my daughter! I'm a friend of Ava's and Mal is her sister that she is raising. I'm just here for moral support because she's going through a lot right now," Alison told Evie who just nodded.

"Oh well either way I'm so sorry!" Evie told Alison, making Alison nod again. "Yeah me too. Well I should go before Ava takes off with Mal before they can even tell her what to do for treatment!" Alison jokingly told Evie but also she was being somewhat serious.

Evie just laughed a little bit. "Oh wow!" Evie jokingly told Alison getting the attention of her boss, the head volunteer. "Evie! Are you talking to people again and not doing your work!" The head volunteer asked Evie as Evie was always getting in trouble for talking to people and not working.

Evie just laughed as she looked at Alison. "Whoops! I should go! Bye! It was nice talking to you!" Evie screamed out as she went running off to go do her work. "Alison!" Ava screamed out as she still couldn't go in there without her.

Alison just sighed as she knew there was something more to that story with Evie, but she knew Ava needed her right now. "I'm coming!" Alison screamed out as she ran back over to meet up with Ava and Mal.
