Jamie's Miracle
Chapter 16
Broe 83
"Landon! Wait put me down!!" Jamie exclaimed through fits of laughter, "You're crazy you know that?!"
"Yeah, crazy about you, and happy to have you home finally. But. if you really want down your wish is my command, Mrs. Carter." I attempted to put Jamie on the couch but my momentum caused me to land on top of her.
Jamie giggled, "Why hello husband, it's great to see you too."
"Very funny." I replied kissing her lightly, "How about some dinner?"
Jamie looked down, "Oh I'm not hungry but you can have something if you want."
"Jamie, sweetheart, I know you don't have much of an appetite and you're afraid of being nauseous, but you have to eat for your sake and the baby's. Ok?"
"Ok" she said smiling weakly.
Jamie had been amazingly strong and positive during her stay in the hospital, but she was only human and she had her moments. Both of these facts only made me love her more. And made me more and more unsure that telling her about Belinda was the right thing to do. It had only happened once so was it worth breaking her heart and jeopardizing her health and the baby's health?
"Landon?"
Jamie's voice interrupted my thoughts. "Huh?"
"Where'd you go?"
I smiled at her, "Nowhere. I'm right here with you, always. I love you, Jamie."
Her face changed from questioning to concern, "I love you too. Are you okay? You know I may be sick but that doesn't mean you need to keep things from me. You know that don't you?"
I swallowed, "Yeah of course I do."
"Landon we're partners. There is never any reason for you to keep anything from me. Nothing you could say would change things between us."
"Jamie," I took her hand, "I'm not keeping anything from you. Okay?"
"You promise?" she said searching my eyes.
"I promise." I said kissing her forehead, "Now I'm gonna go make us some dinner.
I walked in to the kitchen and banged my head on the fridge. I hated lying to Jamie but it was what was best for her and the baby. Besides, it was one time and it didn't mean anything.
Oh well, I thought, at least she'll never know I lied to her.
"Jamie, do you want tomato soup or-" I stopped in mid-sentence and stared at the couch in fear.
"Oh, hey Landon." Belinda smiled at me from the spot next to Jamie almost too happily, "How've you been?"
