I was lying in the hospital oblivious to everything. It was like I was in another place.in another time.

DECEMBER 2003-

"You know what I really want for Christmas," said a fifteen-year-old Manny Santos.

I stood there in the body of my sixteen-year-old self-having déjà vu.

"I want you to dump Ashley," said Manny.

"I'll try," I said.

"Trying isn't good enough," said Manny.

"Fine," I said, "I'll do it."

Christmas Day 2011..

"Craig sweetie," said Ashley, "I'm here and I want you to wake up."

"Mrs. Manning," said the doctor entering, "Your husband is in a coma as you know and could be in it for a while."

"Will he die," said Ashley.

'I don't know," said the doctor, "But may I suggest you spend the holiday with your family and come back tomorrow."

"Ok,' said Ashley.

DECEMBER 2003-

"I know it's early," said a sixteen-year-old Ashley Kerwin, "but Merry Christmas."

She pulled a Guitar case from under the tree."

"Ash," I said, "I don't deserve a gift from you."

"Why," said Ashley.

"While we were fighting I went out with Manny," I said, "and well I like her I'm sorry."

"It's ok," said Ashley, "at least you were honest."

Manny snuck into the room from the hall.

"Kendal called to wish her dad a Merry Christmas," said Manny, "and Paige told me what happened."

"If things were only different," said Manny.

JANUARY 2004-

"I'm pregnant," said Manny.

"How," I said.

"That night in November," said Manny, "after Paige's sweet sixteen."

"So your two months," I said.

"I figure first I'm late," said Manny, "then the morning sickness."

"Is it," I said.

"Yours," Manny said, "Yes."
