Unwavering Love)
Addie Barnes lay in her hospital bed, her small frame engulfed by the sterile white sheets. The room felt suffocating, the beeping of machines and the antiseptic smell threatening to overwhelm her senses. But amidst the discomfort, one thing kept her grounded—her parents, Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, who stood by her side, their unwavering love a beacon of hope in the darkness.
It had been a week since Addie was diagnosed with leukemia, a diagnosis that had turned her world upside down. But as she began her first round of chemotherapy, she found solace in the presence of her parents, who refused to leave her side for even a moment.
As the effects of the treatment began to take hold, Addie's stomach churned, and she felt a wave of nausea wash over her. Before she could even utter a word, she doubled over, retching violently into the nearby basin.
Steve and Bucky rushed to her side, their hearts breaking at the sight of their daughter in such agony. They held her hair back and rubbed her back soothingly, offering words of comfort and reassurance as she emptied the contents of her stomach.
"It's okay, Addie," Steve murmured, his voice filled with tenderness. "We're here for you."
Bucky nodded in agreement, his eyes shining with unshed tears. "You're so brave, sweetheart," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion.
Addie clung to her parents, drawing strength from their love and support as the nausea subsided and she collapsed back onto her pillow, exhausted but grateful for the relief it brought.
As she drifted off to sleep, her parents remained by her side, their presence a comforting presence in the darkness of her hospital room. And as they watched over her, they vowed to do whatever it took to help her fight this battle, to be her rock in the storm that lay ahead.
Together, they would face the challenges of leukemia head-on, drawing strength from the unbreakable bond that held them together as a family.
And in that moment, surrounded by love, Addie knew that no matter what the future held, she would never be alone.
The end.
