White Collar Characters are not my property

Neal was happy to actually be wearing real clothing for the first time in over a week. He was talking a walk around the hospital before he was discharged. Even though he wasn't wearing a suit, which didn't make him happy, but at least he got to get out of bed. Neal was walking by the maternity ward when he saw two people talking in front of an exam room.

"Well Jamie I'm happy to tell you that there's no damage, and when you're ready, you'll be able to try again."

The green eyed girl that Neal all too well nodded and thanked the doctor and began walking in Neal's direction. He started to turn and avoid her but she walked toward him too fast, "Oh Neal! I'm glad you're up and about."

"Yes, you too...Jamie I-"

"Oh Neal I really have to go..."

"I, um, okay," He watched her walk away, for the second time feeling more helpless than the first.

Jamie could barely hold the tears in. She ran as fast as she could and found a little garden. She sat on a bench and let the tears fall for the first time since this whole mess happened.

"Honey? Are you okay?"

Jamie looked up the voice, seeing an old woman standing before her. "Oh, yes, I'm fine m'am."

The woman sat beside her on the bench, "Oh, I've been around long enough to know when someone's really fine or not. You, my friend, are not fine."

Jamie smiled and wiped at her eyes, "I'm just having a bad week."

The woman patted her hand, "Would you like to talk about it?" Jamie almost refused, she didn't know this woman, how could she pour out all her feelings to her? Too much stuff had been building up, and if this woman didn't know her personally, maybe it would be easier to tell her, she nodded.

"Well, before you start, I'm Alice, I feel like I might as well tell you my name before you pour your heart out."

"I'm Jamie."

"Well, Jamie, tell me your story."

She began, changing a few details because even though she and Neal weren't together anymore, she couldn't break her promise. She told Alice how both she and her boyfriend had been hurt in an accident, how Jamie had subsequently lost the child she hadn't even known she was carrying, and how Neal had broken up with her before she even got the chance to tell him about the baby. When Jamie was done, she looked up at Alice, whose clear blue eyes had gotten teary.

"Honey, I'm sorry for your loss."

"Thank you. I..I don't think its really sunk in yet, but I'll get by when it does."

"I've lost a child before, I know that feeling right after it happens, of course, your situation is totally different."

Jamie nodded, "I never really knew this baby, I mean, even mothers who miscarried knew their children in a way. I walked around for weeks and didn't know there was something...growing inside me."

Alice patted her hand again, "You'll get though it, I promise. Now about this Neal boy, is he still in the hospital?"

Jamie nodded, "I think he's getting discharged today, though."

"Well, honey, you need to go find him before he is. Look, from what you told me, I think he thought he was protecting you, it sounds like he loves you a lot."

"I...are you sure? I don't think I can deal with having my heart broken for the second time this week."

Alice nodded, "I have a feeling about this one. Go find him, honey, I think he's realized his mistake, but doesn't know how to apologize."

Jamie stood up, understanding, "I...I don't know how to thank you."

"Just go find Neal. Knowing I reunited you two will be all the thanks I need."

Jamie nodded and started walking away, "Thank you so much!" She called as she left to find Neal.

Well there you go! Please review!
