Mark listened to the doctor and asked if there was anything that could help calm the stomach down or if it would have to run it's course. Mark was worried about Bruce but he began to calm down since he knew that nothing bad was going to happen or at least he was hoping. Mark began to feel worried about Andrea again. Goren stayed by Andrea as he could tell that she needed someone by her side. Goren was hoping that Andrea was okay as he could sense that she was sad and needed to be cheered up.

The doctor said to just let it run its course, but if he has any pain to bring him back for some blood testing to see if there's something else going on. The doctor then left and Bruce went with Mark back to the car and back home. His stomach was still really upset, but he just took a Tums and then went to his room after thanking his father. Bruce then was able to get back to sleep. Andrea was still very much asleep as they got home. She was still curled up in bed as Goren was by her side. She whined a little in her sleep as her mind was replaying what happened with the twins.

Mark went upstairs to where Andrea was and he saw Andrea and Goren laying together. Mark saw that there was no room for him on the bed so he went downstairs to the guest bedroom was and he laid down under the covers on the bed. Mark was having many thoughts running though his mind as he was wishing that there was a way to make it up to Andrea but he knew he would have to wait until she was ready for anything. Mark was feeling calm as he was staying awake just in case Andrea needed him. Mark was glad that Bruce was going to be okay but he was still worried about him.

Andrea heard Mark and woke up, but didn't see him. She realized that he went to the guest bedroom so she got up and went to the guest bedroom. She saw him in bed and she got in bed with him and cuddled with him. Andrea then fell asleep again with her head on his chest as she was still really tired and wanted to be with him. Bruce was asleep in his room too as he was able to go back to sleep. Andrea was curled up with Mark as sh slept peacefully, thankful that he had woken her up as she was having a bad dream earlier.

Mark saw Andrea and he immediately wrap his arms around her as he was feeling happy that she was with him again. Goren woke up and he went to his dog bed as he knew he was not supposed to be on the bed with anyone unless he was making sure that they were okay. Mark was thankful that everything would be okay but he was still worried about something bad happening while they would be gone. Mark knew he could ask Vincent to watch the kids for them or they could ask Lawrence but he was going to wait for Andrea before asking anyone.

Andrea felt Mark wrap his arms around her and she smiled lightly as she woke back up. "I saw your note. What did the doctor say about Bruce? Is he going to be okay?" Andrea asked Mark in a tired voice as she was fighting back sleep so she could be awake for him. Andrea looked at Mark as she yawned again. She continued to rest her head on his chest though. Meanwhile, Bruce felt sick again and got up and went into the bathroom. He started to throw up as he felt sick. Andrea heard Bruce and got up with Mark to check on Bruce.

Mark was about to say something when he heard Bruce. Mark basically raced upstairs as he ask "are you okay Bruce?" He was worried about his son. Mark look at Andrea and told her what the doctor had told him and that if Bruce felt any pain than he would take him back to get blood work done. Mark was looking very worried as he was wanting his son to feel better but he knew that they would have to let the sickness run it's course. Mark was worried that Bruce would have more pain but Mark knew that he would do anything to help his son with getting better.

Andrea followed after him and went up to where Mark was and heard him sign if he was okay. Bruce said that he felt better, but Andrea was scared as she saw blood in the toilet too. "Mark, we should take him to the ER, now," Andrea said as she was fearful that she was going to lose her son too. Andrea ran back into her room and got dressed and waited for Mark to do the same and then picked up Bruce to take him to the ER. Bruce cried as it hurt when she picked him up, even though she was being super gentle. "I'm sorry, baby. It'll be okay. We need to get you to the hospital," Andrea said as she flushed the toilet and went downstairs and waited for Mark to go as she didn't want it to run its course as he was throwing up blood and Bruce was complaining about pain. What she didn't realize was that Bruce had Stomach Cancer and that it was already Stage 3.

Mark immediately rushed them to the ER and he felt worried about everything. Mark got to the ER and he took Bruce inside and luckily the nurses immediately took Bruce into a room as they needed to get to the doctor to do the test. Mark had to be in the waiting room as he felt like he was loosing his family. Mark put his head down as he was sitting on a chair. Mark refused to look at anyone as he needed time to himself to get everything together. Mark felt like he was the main reason why everything bad was happening. Mark felt stressed out about everything and he felt horrible.

Andrea ran inside with Mark and put his head against her chest as they waited in the waiting room for the news about Bruce. They waited for what seemed like forever when the doctor finally came out and gave them the bad news that Bruce had Stage 3 Stomach Cancer and would probably have only months to live if not less. Andrea started to cry, but was trying to keep herself together as she hugged Mark as she knew he'd be hurting just as much as she did. Andrea felt awful but she knew Mark would be feeling like this was all his fault. "It's not your fault, Mark. It's not your fault," Andrea told Mark as she hugged him tightly.
