11- Time is near

Antonio was shocked, but happy to see Harlow made it down to the pool by herself. He got out of the pool, and grabbed a towel, drying himself off as he walked towards her. When he got to her, he leaned down pressing his lips to hers.

"You made it down." he says happy, with a smile as he stood up.

"I'm not dead yet." she snapped, as she looked up at him.

He stepped back in shock, not expecting that kind of reaction out of her.

"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked confused.

"I'm just saying that I'm not dead yet, so don't treat me like I am." she says turning her head to look at the girls.

"Would you like to go into the pool?" he asked, thinking that she might enjoy being in the water. It's been a while since she was in a pool and knew how much she enjoyed it. She hadn't even tried going in the pool at home, and figured he would try while they were at the hotel.

"No, I'll just sit here and watch." she says, as she watched the girls splash Sadie.

Antonio pulled up a chair, setting it next to Harlow, and sat down. He looked over at her, and reached for her hand. She looked down at his hand, debating on letting him hold her hand, she then placed her hand in his. He brought her hand up to his lips, softly kissing her fingers, and the top of her hand, trying to get a smile out of her.

Harlow looked over at Antonio, she could feel in her heart that she would be gone soon, and it was breaking her heart. She hated feeling the way she did, and didn't want to fight with him. She stood up and walked over to Antonio, she sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around him, resting her head in the crook of his neck. "I'm sorry, it's just that I hate this, I hate feeling this way and I just hate knowing what I know."

He began rubbing her back, and leaned his head against hers. "I know Hun, I know... this hasn't been fun for me either."

Gabriella noticed her mom, and climbed out of the pool, with Isabella following behind, both walking over to their mom. Sadie figured she could have a little break after seeing Harlow was down by the pool. She got out of the pool, walked over to the bar, and ordered a beer.

Gabriella walked over and stood by her mom, tugging on her shirt. "Can we go see Elsa and Anna now?"

Antonio looked over Harlow's shoulder, to look at Gabriella. "We will go there tomorrow, it's getting late."

"OK." She pouted.

Sadie walked over to her chair and sat down, she set her beer down and grabbed her suntan lotion, and started rubbing it all over herself. A tall young man with blonde hair, built nicely with a six pack, walked by and whistled at Sadie, blowing air kisses towards her.

Antonio happened to see the whole thing and his blood started to boil, his face got red and was about to get up to say something to him, but then realized Harlow was on his lap and let it go. He watched the man and noticed how he kept staring at Sadie, smiling, and winking at her. He watched the man pucker his lips up to her, and got annoyed even more. He wasn't sure why, but he wasn't liking it one bit.

Antonio's eyes rolled back over to Sadie, she was lying in the chair with her eyes closed, tanning in the sun, and had no clue that the blonde guy was hitting on her. "What do you say we round up the kids and get some dinner?" he asked Harlow. He didn't get a response from her, and figured she might not have heard him.

Sadie sat up, drinking the rest of her beer. "Sounds good to me, I'm a little hungry myself."

Antonio felt Harlow becoming heavy while sitting on his lap, and could feel her breathing heavily on his neck, he pulled back enough to see her, and noticed that she fell asleep.

"I think we're going to just have to do room service, or have food delivered. Looks like someone fell asleep."

"That's fine." Sadie says smiling. "I'll grab the girls."

Antonio stood up and adjusted Harlow in his arms, making it easier for him to carry her. Sadie grabbed the girls, while she was walking, the young blonde man whistled at her as she walked past him, she stopped and looked at the man as he was asking for her to come over to him.

"What can I help you with?" she asked him.

"How about your phone number?" he asked with a grin, trying to give her a sexy smile. He handed over his cell phone, asking for her to enter her number into his phone.

"No thanks." she says, as she eyed Antonio. She noticed he was watching her and turned back to the man. "On second thought hand me your phone."

"Yes, I'll be glad to." He handed her his phone quickly, and looked over at his friend sitting next to him, he could hear his friend laughing at him. "I told you that I'd finally get her number." he says, shoving him.

She handed his phone back, and glanced at his phone. "Sadie... I like that name, sounds just like a temptress." he grinned, while he looked her up and down.

"You're saying my name sounds like a temptress?" she laughed. She turned to wave at the girls, waving for them to come to her. She could see Antonio was starting to get agitated, and figured that she better hurry.

"All I'm saying, is your name sounds tempting, and you're hot as fuck, you look like you would be wild in bed." he says. Sadie smiled at him thinking what an ass but didn't say anything, and let out a fake laugh. She saw Antonio walking over to them, and held onto the girls hands, as they walked over to her. "I have to go."

"Is there a problem over here?" Antonio snapped, looking at the man with an evil glare.

"No, we were just talking, chill man." The blonde man says to Antonio with widened eyes.

"Are you ready?" Antonio asks irritated, looking at Sadie with Harlow still in his arms.

Sadie held onto Gabriella and Isabella's hands and began walking back up to their suite. Antonio laid Harlow down on the bed, then called for food to be delivered.

When the food arrived, Antonio walked over to Harlow, trying to wake her up, and she wasn't having it. "I'm not hungry, please just let me sleep." Harlow said tiredly.

Antonio didn't like that she wouldn't eat, and got frustrated with her. "If you don't eat, I'm calling for someone to have tubes put in you, do you really want that?"

Sadie heard the way he was speaking to Harlow and didn't like the tone in his voice, she walked over to him, snapping at him. "Antonio! Was that really necessary?"

"She needs to eat; she hasn't eaten in days." he said worried. He ran his fingers through his hair, and pulled up on his hair out of frustration.

Antonio looked back at Harlow, pleading for her to eat. "Harlow the girls' birthday is tomorrow, and we have that party planned out for them, do you really want to miss that?"

"Of course not, I just have no appetite, and I can barely keep my eyes open." Harlow says exhausted.

Antonio threw his arms up in the air, and walked away. "I give up, I don't know what else to do." he snapped.

Sadie walked back over to the table and made the girls their plate.

"Antonio, come and eat, I'm sure she will eat if she becomes hungry." Sadie says to him encouragingly.

Antonio sat down at the table, he didn't have an appetite anymore, and tried forcing himself to eat. He kept looking over at Harlow, while he picked at his food, he could feel in his heart that his time with her was going to be shorter than what they were told.

Sadie watched Antonio play with his food like a little kid, and reached across the table stopping his hand while he held onto his fork. "Hey... maybe tomorrow she will feel better. She herself even said that she didn't want to miss the kid's birthday for nothing. Maybe she's trying to sleep this off, and have more energy for tomorrow."

Antonio stood up while picking up his plate, and set it in the fridge. "I'll be back, I need some time to myself."

Sadie kept quiet not wanting to upset him anymore than he already was, and watched him walk out the door. She hoped he wasn't going to the bar, but knew him to well and figured that was where he was heading. She figured if he wasn't back in a couple hours, she was going to go looking for him.

She pulled the couch, making herself a bed, and got the girls into their pajamas, and laid them down. Harlow had awakened, and pulled herself up slowly against the pillows, and began watching Sadie with the girls.

"Do we have to go to bed?" Isabella asked Sadie, while rubbing her eyes.

She touched her nose and smiled "Yes you do, you both have a big day tomorrow, and you need to sleep. You'll need all of your energy for tomorrow."

"OK..." she said slowly, sounding bummed that she had to go to sleep, she climbed into bed and got under the covers.

"Just think, you'll be able to see Elsa and Anna tomorrow, you do still want to go see them, don't you?" Sadie asked with a smile, knowing that would make her want to sleep.

"Yes, I do."

"Then close your eyes, and get as much rest as you can, you're really going to need it."

When Sadie was getting up off the bed after talking to Isabella, Harlow closed her eyes quick, not wanting her to know that she was awake, and she also didn't want her knowing that she had been watching her with them. Sadie tried calling Antonio, but his phone was turned off, and kept leaving him messages anyway.

"Where is Antonio?" Harlow asked, sounding like she was out of breath, shocking Sadie that she was awake and talking.

Sadie walked over to Harlow concerned. "Can I get you something?"

"Where's Antonio?"

"I'm not sure, he left saying that he needed to be by himself. He left pretty upset." she says, looking over towards the door.

Harlow sighed, holding her chest as she tried to breathe. "If you could get me some food, I'd like to try and eat something." Harlow says out of breath. "I could also use my medications; I'm having a bit of a hard time breathing."

"Oh sure, I'll be glad to do that." she says, with a smile, happy that she wants to try and eat, yet worried that she can't breathe.

She grabbed her food that Antonio put in the fridge, and heated it up for her. She grabbed her medication, and walked it over to her along with a glass of water.

While Harlow was trying to eat, Antonio walked in the door and was surprised to see Harlow with a plate of food. He looked drained, tired, and looked like he was hurting. He held his hand behind his back holding a bouquet of flowers as he walked over towards Harlow. He sat down on the bed next to her and smiled, while still holding the flowers behind him. "You're eating." he said softly with a half-smile, feeling relieved that she was trying to eat.

"I figured I would try and eat... just for you, it's not going so well, but I'm trying."

He sighed happily, and leaned over to kiss her. "I got something for you." He brought his arm around, handing over the flowers to her, with a smile.

"Pink flowers for you." He explained why he got the pink flowers, and showed her the pink vase to place the flowers in, then showed her the pink ribbon they put on the vase for her.

She pulled out a card that was inside the flowers, and began reading it out loud for him to hear:

My dearest Harlow, you have been the world to me since the first day I laid my eyes on you. When I said I do, I meant it. I will stick with you through sickness and health, for better, for worse, until death do us part. I never thought that would be so soon, and you will always be my wife no matter what happens. I love you with all my heart, and don't ever think differently.
I love you... Antonio
