Well, after everything else that has been going on with my life, my computer crashed, so I haven't been able to update anything in a while. But I just got a new computer, and I had an idea for a new story. I will be updating my other GW fics and my GG fics soon (hopefully...)

Full Summary: Set after "Double Exposure" Instead of resolving their issues, Jim left Melinda to become a doctor after she refused to go with him. Shortly after Melinda found out she was pregnant. Now, eleven years later, Melinda may have to face the man who left her so many years ago. Slightly AU. Eventually Mel/Jim.

Disclaimer: I do not own Ghost Whisperer. If I did, Jim would be alive, and all of us fans would be very happy people.

"Come on, Andy, you're going to be late for school!"

"Coming, mom!" Andrea, Melinda's 10-year-old daughter, shouted as she quickly made her way down the stairs.

"Allie's already in the car, now come on, we have to hurry!"

"Alright, alright, I'm sorry." Melinda quickly shooed her daughter out the door and they were on their way.

Jim had left almost eleven years ago. They had gotten into some stupid argument about him going away to become a doctor, and the next thing she knew, he was gone. It wasn't that she didn't want him to become a doctor, but she wanted to stay in Grandview – Melinda knew there had to be a reason she and so many other ghost whisperers were drawn there.

They fought about it, and fought about it, and one thing led to another, and she told him that if he wanted to leave and go back to school, he was going to have to do it without her. Melinda never meant a single word she said, but by the time she figured that out, it was too late. Jim was gone.

A month later she found out she was pregnant.

Melinda always knew that Jim wanted kids, and he would be so happy to find out he had twins on the way, but they hadn't talked since he left, and she was afraid. She kept telling herself she was going to get in touch with him and tell him, but as the years went by, she just kept procrastinating. He didn't need to know anyway, right?

And so, she raised the girls on her own. Sure, it was hard, and she wished she had someone to help her, but she was fine. She would do anything for her girls. She didn't need Jim, or at least she had convinced herself that she didn't.

"Are you OK, mom?" Her other daughter, Allison, asked, "You seem kind of distant."

"I'm fine, I'm just...thinking."

…

"How was your day at school?" Melinda asked her daughters as they jumped in the car.

"Good." They replied in unison.

"Andy, do you want to come with me and Allie to her doctor appointment, or do you want Delia to watch you?"

"Um…I think…I'll just go with you guys." Melinda sighed; Andrea was very bad at making decisions.

"How about we go to dinner afterward? I'll take you two to Red Robin; I know it's your favorite." The girls squealed in delight. "How much homework to you two have?"

"Mom, its FRIDAY!" Allie rolled her eyes.

"Right, I guess I forgot." Melinda Laughed. "In that case, we'll go to a movie too. We'll have one of our girl's nights." Sighing again, Melinda though it's always just a girl's night.

…

"Would you like to schedule your next appointment now or later?" Melinda had just taken Allie to her appointment with her asthma doctor when she saw a familiar face walking down the adjacent hallway. In shock, she blinked a few times; making sure her eyes weren't playing tricks on her.

It couldn't be…could it?

"Excuse me, would you like to schedule your next appointment now?"

"Oh, sorry, I'll call and schedule it later." Melinda answered absentmindedly as turned away and motioned for her daughters to follow. She had to get out of there. "Come on girls, let's go."

So...its a little bit different, but what did you think? Reviews have been scientifically proven to make me happy and encourage me to update faster! LOL
