Chapter 8: Blue's Clues
After a day of recuperation Jamie had her first chemo of the six weeks. Landon stayed with her through it, but it was hard to see her. The chemicals to make her better were making her sick too. Afterward she threw up.
It went on like this for the six weeks. Every Saturday Jamie and Landon would get up, get dressed, and go to the hospital. Jamie would have her chemo and go home sick. Everything the doctor said would happen did.
Finally, at the end of the six horrible weeks the chemo was over. The pump that had been inserted in Jamie was removed. To celebrate Jamie and Landon had their parents over for dinner again.
The night after the dinner party Jamie and Landon spent the night on the balcony again. It was such a peaceful night, and so clear. Jamie was hoping she'd have another dream, or at least remember the one she had had the night before she went into surgery, but she didn't. The only thing she remembered was the lullaby, which she sang softly before falling asleep.
Landon could hear her singing, but didn't bother her. In her voice he could tell she was trying to remember something and that it hurt her to do so. She sang the same song over and over. He was beginning to worry about her.
Finally Landon asked Jamie about the song. "Jamie, where did you learn that song? It's really beautiful, but it seems to be bothering you."
Jamie hesitated for a minute before answering, "Well, I had a dream a few weeks ago. I was in a beautiful nursery and there was a young woman there holding a baby, singing that song. I've seen her face before, but I just can't figure out where. In my dream I bent over to look at the baby once it had been laid in the crib, but then you woke me up. Something tells me God is sending me dreams for a reason, but I just don't know what. It's almost like Blue's Clues, but I need the third clue."
"Well baby, maybe you'll have another dream tonight." Landon tried to comfort her.
"Yeah, maybe." Was all Jamie replied before drifting off to sleep.
