| "Sick.. how?" Dana asked uneasily, reaching over to rub at his back comfortingly. |

| "I don't know, some cancer bullshit or something...they don't think she's going to make it, honestly." Dixon explained. |

| "That's awful..." Dana frowned tightly, brows furrowing more. "So.. why... did he call then?" |

Dixon let out a sigh again and shook his head.
"They...want Declan to see her." He said. |

| "I.. in Ireland? Now?" Dana looked anxious. "Dixon.. what if he doesn't want to see her?" |

"Well, I'm not going to make him go if he doesn't want to see her." Dixon said, but before he could say anything else, someone else spoke.
"You're not going to make me see who?" Declan spoke from where he stood at the backdoor, brows furrowed as he listened in on his parents' conversation. |

| Dana jumped slightly and let out a breath. "Ah, Deccy, you scared me." she sighed, biting at her bottom lip and glanced at Dixon before looking back at Declan. "Honey, why don't we go sit down in the living room and talk.. okay?" |

Declan was rather perceptive when it came to emotion, so it was quite obvious to him that something was...amiss with his parents. Nonetheless, he gave a little bob of his head.
"Okay...is everything okay?" He asked as he proceeded further into the house.
Dixon gave a sigh and reached out to put a hand on his son's shoulder, giving a squeeze.
"Let's sit first, okay, Deccy?" He said. |

| Dana reached over to pet the back of Declan's head before going to lead them to the living room and then sat down on the sofa, patting the spot by her. "C'mere, baby boy." |

Declan pressed his lips nervously together as he took a seat by his mother, fidgeting with his baseball mitt in his lap. He watched his father sit in the seat just adjacent to his.
Dixon let out a heavy breath and reached out to touch Declan's knee as he looked in the face.
"Declan...you know...you know how Momma isn't the one who actually gave birth to you, right?" Dixon said.
Declan gave a slow little nod. Both of his parents had always been open with him in the regard that he knew that Dana wasn't his birth mother (for whatever reason), but he knew next to nothing about the woman who actually carried him and birthed him.
"Well...um..." Dixon took a steeling breath. "The woman who had you, your biological...mother, is very sick a-and they don't think she's going to make it."
Declan furrowed his brows a bit.
"Like...she's dying?" He asked. |

| Dana bit at her bottom lip and reached over to take Declan's hand gently between her own. "Yeah.. baby." she answered gently. "Anne is really really sick. She may not recover and... the person on the phone was someone who cares about her.. and.. they want her to be able to see you before anything happens." |

Declan looked between both of his parents as his brow knit even tighter.
"I don't...I don't understand. She's never asked to see me before...I thought she didn't want to be my mom." He said, no hint of anger or remorse regarding his statement. He was content with his situation and never once felt any sense of bitterness towards his birth mother, simply neutral. |

| Dana bit at her bottom lip again in thought, petting the back of his hand soothingly. "Well.. baby, I guess.." she glanced at Dixon and then back at their son. "I guess when you're faced with not having time left... you think about things a lot. Things you wish you could've done and things you could do. Maybe she just wants to see what a lovely little man you're growing into." |

Declan pursed his lips a little, still not sure why seeing him mattered now. Sure, she wasn't faced with much time, but...it didn't matter before, why would it matter now?
"Deccy...we won't make you go if it's not something you're comfortable with." Dixon spoke then, giving Declan's knee another little squeeze. "I can tell them no." |

| "Absolutely, baby boy. If you don't want to go, we can just tell them you're not comfortable with it and send our apologies, simple as." Dana reassured, reaching up to pet his hair. |
