Jamie's Miracle
Broe 83
Chapter 15
"Hey!" Jamie said cheerfully, smiling when she saw me come in the room.
"Hey." I said and smiled back. She had such amazing power over me that I could almost forget what had happened with Belinda.almost. I walked over to the bed and sat down beside Jamie, "So how're you feelin'?" I asked as I took her hand in mine and kissed it gently.
She sighed lightly, "I'm okay," she smiled and patted her stomach, "and so is this little one. And how're you?"
"I'm okay now that I know you and our baby are okay. Jamie we have to talk about us, about our future." I took a deep breath I had to tell her. I knew how much Jamie hated secrets and lies and I couldn't keep what I had done from her even if I wanted to. She knew me too well.
Jamie looked down. " I think I know what you're going to say. Landon, I'm so sorry for all this. It's not fair to you that you have to deal with this," she gestured toward a couple of machines in the room and the IV tube that was in her arm. Tears filled her eyes, "You deserve so much better, so much more. You should be stuck with me this way." A lone tear rolled down her cheek.
I hated to see Jamie like this, so down on herself and worried about me, thinking that I deserved better than her. It broke my heart and even more so considering what I had just done. With one hand, I wiped away the tears on her face. With the other hand I squeezed hers soft but firm. "Jamie listen to me. I can't possibly deserve better than you because there is no one better, you are the best person I have ever known. Secondly, I am not stuck with you, I chose to be with you, and there is nowhere else I would rather be. And as far as dealing with all this goes, this is only a small part of our lives together; you will be outta here in no time. Besides, I love being with you no matter where we are.
Jamie was now crying tears of joy, "I love you so much, Landon. I am so lucky to have you."
I hugged her, holding her as tightly as I could in my arms. "No Jamie, I'm the lucky one. My life began when I met you. I love you too, only you, and we're in this together from here on out, forever, no matter what happens."
Jamie pulled back and looked at me running her hand through my hair. She always look so deep in to me it was like she could see right through me. I hoped tonight she couldn't see everything. "No matter what, forever," she stated confidently. She kissed me lightly on the lips and then rested her head back on her pillow.
"I'm gonna go so you can get some rest." I stood and kissed her forehead.
She grabbed my hand, "Wait. What were you going to say earlier? About us and our future?"
I hadn't even remembered my earlier plan to confess but now wasn't the right time or the right place. I'd tell her when she was feeling better, when we were home. "It was nothing important. Don't worry about it. Just get better so I can get you home okay?"
"Okay." Jamie said through a yawn.
"I'm gonna say bye to the others and I'll be in later to sleep on my nice comfy cot."
Jamie shook her head, "Don't you think you be more comfortable at home?"
"No," I laughed, "that thing looks more comfortable than our bed. Besides, I couldn't sleep at home without you there."
"I love you Landon." Jamie murmured as she drifted off to sleep.
"I love you too." I answered as I shut the door. I sighed, "Forever no matter what. I really hope you mean that Jamie.
"Hey!" Jamie said cheerfully, smiling when she saw me come in the room.
