Mary settled herself down in the chair one of the nurses had brought over, "Now this is James," she picked up her child from the pram and sat him on her knee, he squealed as she did so "and this is your Da." A rather podgy little fist reached out to Jim, it was almost as if he understood. This was not how she wanted them to meet, she wanted to wait until Jim woke up. Four months and no sign of changes later she eventually decided it was better than nothing.

She moved Jim's arm slightly. Being careful to make sure his shoulder was supporting the head, she placed little James in the space created. They looked so at peace together. Eventually James's big blue eyes, which were already showing signs of the green and gold speckles that would inevitably result in them going brown, began to close. Never had she seen two people look so alike. Not only did they have the same features but the same expression, blank, eyes shut, mouths slightly open with their heads tilted slightly to the left, asleep.
