A couple of days later
After a couple of days of convincing Devin finally came to terms with her being a mother and was easing up to being a wife too, even though she still didn't remember.
"You coming to bed?" Joe asked standing at the door way.
"Uh yeah, soon." Devin says looking up.
"Okay." Joe says turning around.
Stopping in his tracks Joe turns back and walks back in the family room.
"What are you doing?" Joe asked sitting down next to her.
"Trying to remember my life."
"Well don't beat yourself up too much if you don't remember, these things take time."
"Joe it's not like I just miss placed my key`s, I forgot fifteen years of my life, I don't remember giving birth to any of our kids, I don't remember their first word, I don't remember their first day of school, I don't remember our wedding, our honeymoon, the things I should remember but I don't."
"Like I said baby girl, these things take time, don't beat yourself up over something you can`t help."
Looking up from her phone Devin asked. "Are you done?"
"If I`m going to get my memory back I need to focus." Devin continued.
Joe sighs and says. "Yeah."
.
.
Looking up from his bed Joe sees his wife walking in and says.
"Finally coming to bed."
"Yeah, where are my pajamas?"
Joe pointed to the dresser and said. "Or in the closet."
Turning to her dresser Devin pulls out a gown and stares at her husband.
"Can I help you?" Joe asked.
"Can you get out while I change or turn around?"
Joe sighs and says. "Devin."
"Joe I understand we're married and you just want everything to go back to the way it was before the accident, but you have to understand I don't remember my life, last thing I remember is us talking about my love for fireworks at Vince's fourth of July party and then waking up in a hospital and being told I was in an accident and I`m married to my best friend and we have kids, Its scary Joe it really is…."
"All the feeling that I acquired between that moment at the McMahon party and now are gone, I have to learn to love you, I mean I do love you just not the way you want me to love you, in other words I love you but I`m not IN love with you." Devin continued.
Joe doesn't say a word he just flips over and faces the wall.
"Joe." Devin calls as she sighs.
"What- you wanted me to turn around and I did."
Devin gets dress and climbs into bed and says.
"I`m sorry."
"You have nothing to be sorry about baby girl." Joe says.
As Joe and Devin slept Joe naturally throws his hand around her waist and scoots up.
"Joe." Devin says softly as she opens her eyes.
"Yeah?"
"Can you move your arm?"
"Sure." Joe says moving his arm and turning over.
