Sutton sat alone in the diner, a noisy woman sat in the booth behind her chatting about her son's unbalanced girlfriend, Sutton looked over her shoulder at the woman pretending to be looking back at the door and then turned back towards her menu. Thayer had taken Kendall for a daddy-daughter date to the movies and she didn't feel like staying at home, so she'd called Emma to meet up for dinner but Emma had just sent her a message that she was running late. In the quiet moments, Sutton hoped she'd feel that flutter in belly, a sign that something was there. A waitress had come by a few times asking if Sutton wanted to place an order, but she offered to wait for Emma to show up. She'd been staring at her phone when she felt a soft tap on her shoulder. She startled hoping to see her sister standing there, but instead a middle-aged woman with long brown hair smiled, "I didn't mean to startle you." She said with a grin.

"Oh no." Sutton smiled, "It's alright." She said looking back down at her phone.

The woman smiled, "I don't mean to bother you. Do you mind if I sit down? I was sitting behind you and felt this need to talk to you." Sutton looked at her strangely and the woman picked up on the gesture, "I'm sorry. My name is Andrea Nichols, I am a medium." Sutton looked at her like she was a crazy woman, "I connect with people who have passed on in this world." She said, "I kept getting a sense. An older man kept pestering me to talk to you." Sutton looked at her, skeptical of the woman's words, "DId an older man pass away a few years ago? almost 5 years ago?"

Immediately tears filled her eyes, "My dad died just about 5 years ago." She nodded.

"Who is Kendall?" The woman asked. "He keeps talking about Kendall and cradling his arms like he's holding a baby."

Her words practically floored Sutton and she reached for her phone, "She's my 4 year old daughter. He died just before I found out I was pregnant."

Andrea smiled, "He's telling me that he gave her to you as a gift." Sutton shook her head in disbelief, "Were you there when your dad died?"

"I was at the prom and my mom called me. He was in surgery when we got there but he died that night." She said, "I didn't get to say good-bye." She cried reliving the pain she'd felt that night her father passed away.

Andrea placed her hand on Sutton's and a sudden warmth flowed through her body, "He was there with you in the hospital that night. He wants me to tell you that he heard your good-bye and that he's been with you everyday since his passing."

Sutton brushed tears from her eyes and looked up, "He was there?" She desperately wanted to hear her father's voice again. Look into his blue eyes.

"He keeps saying something about a little boy. Did you have a little boy pass?"

Sutton's eyes widened, "Harper. My son Harper." She nodded.

"He's showing me a small baby, like he died before he was born."

Sutton nodded apprehensively, "I had an abortion a few weeks ago."

Andrea nodded, "He wants me to tell you that he's not mad at you for decision. That he understands the importance of family and that he is protecting his grandson with him." Sutton's heart nearly stopped. She hadn't stopped thinking about her son since she'd had the abortion. She'd wondered how Ted would have handled the situation if he was still alive, "He wants you to know that Kendall is his gift to you. He felt bad for leaving you so young." Andrea paused and looked down, "Can I ask, are you pregnant right now?"

Sutton shook her head, "No, but my fiancé and I have been trying." She said putting her hands on her stomach.

"He is telling to tell you that he is giving you another little gift. He wants you to know that he's been protecting you since he passed."

Sutton's heart pounded so hard, she thought she was going to have a heart attack, she wondered if maybe this woman was crazy but how did she know Kendall's name when she never even told her she was a mother. "Can I just ask you a question?"

Andrea nodded, "Of course, anything."

"Is he mad at me?" She asked nervously, afraid to think that her father would be angry at his daughter for the way she's lived her life.

Andrea was silent for a moment, "He wants you to know that above anything else you are his baby girl and that he loves you. He wants me to tell you that he understands why you did the things you did and he's not angry at you but he wants you to learn from your mistakes."

Sutton nodded, just as Emma was approaching the table. She gave Andrea a weird look and then sat Ryleigh's carrier on the table and sat beside her sister when she noticed she was crying, "Sutton, are you okay?" She asked putting her arm around her sister and glaring at the woman like she was some kind of horrible human being.

Sutton coughed out a laugh, "No it's okay." She looked up at Andrea, "This is my sister Emma."

Andrea nodded as if to make sense of something, "Oh ok, you have a twin. He was showing me two of you and I was like she's not dead, yet. I'm talking to her. You have a twin sister."

Emma looked at the woman wide-eyed and back at Sutton, "Um, what's going on?"

Andrea smiled at Emma, "You were a foster child growing up?" She asked and then she looked at Sutton.

Emma looked terrified, "Who the hell are you?" She said getting angry. Ryleigh stirred some in her chair and Emma looked at her and rocked the chair to hush her some.

"This is Andrea. She's a medium and she was giving me a reading." Sutton said.

"What do you mean she was giving you a reading?" She asked skeptically. Ryleigh kicked her pink blanket off her legs. Emma reached to the floor where it fell and picked it up, putting it back over her daughter's body.

"I'm a medium, which means I can talk to spirits. I was sitting behind your sister here and A spirit pestered me to talk to your sister." Emma nodded unsure of this woman or if they should get up and kindly walk away.

"A spirit." Emma said slowly. She looked at Sutton like she was nuts.

"Your dad has been communicating things he wanted your sister to know. He keeps pointing at you, he's showing me a broken heart. When a spirit shows me the symbol of a broken heart, I usually know that either he wasn't there when you grew up, like he left you or that you weren't in his life. He's saying that he never met you."

Emma's heart throbbed. Suddenly her skeptical mind switched to one of hope, "My birth mother separated Sutton and me when we were babies. I didn't even know I had a father until I got here."

"He wants you to know that he never wanted you to feel like you weren't apart of his family. Did he pass shortly after you came here?"

Emma nodded slowly, how did she know all of this? She thought. She never was one to believe in mediums and she never believed that the dead could communicate with the living. But tears welled in her eyes, "Yeah. Sutton contacted me on Facebook saying she was my twin sister. I was in a foster home in Las Vegas and only a few months after I got here, just a few weeks after he realized I wasn't his daughter Sutton, but his twin daughter Emma, he passed away from complications from a car accident." She said sighing heavily. She realized her story must've made no sense to someone who didn't already know, but Andrea nodded.

"He's telling me that he wants you to know that you were always his little girl." She looked at Ryleigh, "He keeps saying, my baby granddaughter, he shows me a halo like he's her guardian angel."

Emma bit back the tears as she looked at her daughter, "His angel?" She asked.

"He says that he protects her when she sleeps and not to worry. He wants you to know that everything will be okay. Did you just suffer a major injury or did someone close to you?"

Emma looked at Sutton in surprise, "My husband was shot almost a month ago. He shouldn't have lived, but he's temporarily paralyzed, the bullet just barely missed the area of the spine that could have killed him or left him permanently paralyzed."

Andrea nodded, "He's wanting me to tell you that he was there with your husband. He should have died, but he sent him back. He knows how much you need him, how much you love him and with his newborn daughter. He knows all too well how much a little girl needs her father."

Emma was full on crying now, she shook her head and Sutton put her hand on Emma's, "All this time I was so mad at Ethan for all of this and daddy kept him safe." She suddenly felt guilty for how she'd acted.

"Well Girls," Andrea finally said, "I don't want to take up too much of your time, I am glad I had this chance to meet you and share some things you needed to hear."

Emma wiped her tears with the sleeve of her jacket, "Thank you." She said.

Sutton smiled, "Yes, thank you. I think we needed this." She said looking at her twin sister and giving her a satisfied smile. Then they hugged Andrea and watched as she left the diner.
