Chapter 1
Melinda Gordon rolled over in bed. Her eyes fluttered open to find her husband, Jim, laying beside her, his head propped up on his arm as he watched her sleep.
"Good morning!" he smiled down at her.
"G' morning!" Melinda mumbled sleepily.
"How are you feeling this morning?" he asked, his free hand stroking her swelling stomach.
"Ask me again after breakfast. Your answer will be whether or not I throw it back up, or not," Melinda replied in a tone that was only slightly joking.
Shaking a finger at her mid-section, Jim mock reprimanded, "Young man, you need to stop making your mom sick every morning."
Laughing in spite of herself, Melinda reached up and gently kissed Jim.
Crawling out of bed, she headed for the shower.

Michael watched over Jason's shoulder, as he sat doing Foundation paperwork.
Jason wasn't bothered by Michael's presence. In fact, he had no idea Michael was there.
As Jason worked, he fiddled with a small box he held in his hand. He kept it hidden out of sight beneath the desk. Once, he opened the box and gazed wistfully at the contents, then closed it again.
Jumping up when the door opened, as though he'd just been caught somewhere he shouldn't have been, Jason walked around the desk to greet his visitor.
Carlee walked up to Jason, and he pulled her into his embrace.
Fumbling for a moment, not quite sure how to begin, Jason said, "I know I've asked this before, but I'm not going to give up." Pulling away and holding the box where she could see it, Jason said, "Marry me?"
Michael was now standing behind Carlee, his hand resting on her shoulder.
"I..." Carlee stammered.
"Don't hold onto what's gone, Carlee," Michael urged. His ghostly plea fell on deaf ears.
"I'm sorry. I'm just not sure I'm ready. I know it's been years, but sometimes I feel like he's still here," Carlee's excuse sounded lame, even to her own ears.
Michael looked sad, and whispered, "No, Carlee!"
Jason snapped the box closed with a click. "Okay. I can wait," he couldn't quite hide the hurt look on his face.
