Melfina and Gene are sitting next to Jim who is in a hospital bed. Gene and
Melfina are married now and have adopted Jim as their son. Now Jim is in
the hospital, dying from an illness no one can find a cure to. Melfina is
sitting beside Jim and stoking his hair as he leans agenst her. Gene is
sitting behind Melfina holding on to his small family while he still had
it. Jim had various IVs on his wrists and his breathing came in either
short gasps or slow and shallow ones. Melfina began to pray.
Hello God.
It's me again. 2 AM room 304.
Visiting hours are over, time for our bedside tug of war.
Jim was now fast asleep and while Melfina stayed on the bed, while Gene sat
on a chair next to the sleeping child. Jim was pale and weak. The doctor
walked in and Gene and Melfina shot to their feet. The doctor shook his
head and Melfina burst into tears.
The sleeping child between us
Might not make it through the night.
I'm fighting back the tears
As he fights for his life
Well it must be kinda crowded
On the streets of heaven
So tell me, what do you need him for?
Don't you know one day he'll be your little boy forever?
But right now, I need him so much more.
He's much too young to be on his own
Just over eleven.
So who will hold his hand when he crosses the streets of heaven?
Gene held Melfina close to him and Aisha and Suzuka were crying outside the
door. Aisha walked over to the bed and kissed Jim on the cheek as a tear
streamed down her cheek. Suzuka was helping to comfort Melfina, but still
couldn't stop the tears.
God, you remember
The wishes that he made.
When he blew out the candles on his last birthday cake.
(Flashback)
Jim is standing in front of a cake the girls had made. Aisha signaled for
him to make a wish and blow out the candles. Jim thought for a moment and
then blew out the eleven candles on the cake with a grin.
"Well, what did you wish for?" Aisha asked.
He wants to pilot the Outlaw Star when he's big enough.
He wants to be like his daddy,
When he's all grown up
Well it must be kinda crowded
On the streets of heaven,
So tell me,
What do you need him for?
Don't you know one day he'll be your little boy forever?
But right now, I need him so much more.
Melfina held the weak child in her arms and cried in his soft blonde hair.
Lord I know
Once you've made up your mind
There's no use in begging!
But if you, take him with you today,
You make sure he looks both ways.
And will you hold his hand when he crosses the streets of heaven.
The streets
Of
Heaven.
"He will make a full recovery!" the doctor exclaimed as he walked back into
the room. Everyone had tears of joy flowing from their eyes. Aisha ruffled
the Blondes' hair and Melfina hugged him. Suzuka put her hand on Melfinas'
shoulder and squeezed it briefly with a smile, and gene Hugged his two
member family close. Jim opened his crystal blue eyes and looked up at his
family with a weak smile and tears of joy were welling up in his eyes as
well, for he would live a long life with his happy little family forever.
