Addison's plea completely caught Margo off-guard; a confession like that being the last thing she expected. It all made sense now, why he was fighting his body for everything it was worth; he was afraid it would happen again.

"You're in the best place you could possibly be right now and in the hands of the best doctor I know." she grinned which made him sightly smile in return. "And I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure you both get through this."

"The more you keep fighting it and holding back, the harder it's going to make it for the two of you."
