" Morning"

"Morning"

Melinda Gordan and her husband Jim Clancy smiled and embraced each other, Looking adoringly into each others eyes.

"mmm Mel" Jim sighed kissing her neck with a passion.

"Jim pleased" She smiled shrugging him gently. He frowned and then began tickling her softly.

"Jiiiiiiiiiim" she giggled "I need to go get get Iris ready and go to work" she started to get up "and you need to take James to school" she said of there five year old son.

Since the incident that happened five years ago life at the Gordon/Clancy household had been pretty calm. Jim's 'death' had really scared Melinda, She knew she couldn't live without him because he was her soul mate he all and know he was the farther of there children five year old James and one year old Iris.

Her 'Gift' was just a daily part of her life now and she found that as life progressed so did her understanding of the 'ghosts' and she found that sending them to the light was alt easier now.

Since Gabriel's Death and the passing on of the ghosts underground she hadn't had much trouble going on and that's just how she liked it.

Her Antique Show 'Same as it has ever been had been making her a profit despite the loss of her friend Delia who moved away straight after the 'incident' it was was awful because they didn't leave on good terms. Melinda missed her and Ned to and they were often on her though. Dr Payne had taken over from Delia but was more an investor the an assistant so she hired Jubie a nice tubby girl who was a good little helper and always looked after Iris if she needed to 'pop out'

She walked over to iris room and stared lovingly at the beautiful little girl with her dark Small delicate features. She was the spite of her mother and had the personality of her farther. Melinda was already proud of her. She was determined that she wouldn't make the mistakes of her mother, that she would make sure James and Iris would embrace their gifts if iris had it anyway. James had already shown signs which was obviously worrying Jim a little bit but he wouldn't ever tell her and she respected him for that.

"C'mon Princess" she said lifting her little girl out and getting her dressed which didnt take her long.

She went downstaires and saw off her little boy

" Love you Jamesey " she kissed him

"Love you Mummy " he said hugging her tightly

Jim smiled watching the maternal embrace

"C'mon Daddy i need to go to school c'mon"

Melinda laughed and Jim shrugged and the little boy grabbed his dads hand and dragged him. It bought a tear to her eye.

She turned around preparing to go collect Iris who was waiting readly in her cot. She was just about to take a step when she heard a noice in the kitchen.

She grabbed her pink umbrella with a sharp end and walked rapidly in the kitchen.

She Screamed

She Couldnt believe her eyes

She cried

Jims Mother was sat at her table covered in blood with only half a face and cuts and wounds all over her body

She swayed rapidly towards Melinda it was frighting one of the scarist things Melinda had ever seen.

"Hello Melinda" the 'ghost' whispered

"Hello Mrs Clancy" Melinda managed

She couldnt believe it. How could she tell Jim?
