Ok, ok if I'd known you all weren't going to like that ending, I wouldn't have done it that way :) So for you all I'm going to do a second ending. Hope you like this one...

Second Chances: Chapter 5b. Ask me again the day after tomorrow

"You know what I want? I want ice cream, but not that tasteless goo they call ice cream at the hospital. Real ice cream, chocolate"

"Okay. Wait here I'll go buy you some"

"Really?"

"Yeah. Wait here a moment"

"Ok" Adam left. Joan sat in a bench to wait for him. She was looking at the people in the park. Little boys playing, old people walking fathers playing with their kids and then a ball hit her in the foot and little girl god came running after it "Long time no see" Joan said

"I know, but I told you, I'm always with you" She said sitting with her

"I know, you're God, you're everywhere" Joan said smiling and then got serious "Did I do whatever it was I was supposed to do? Did I help Ramsey?"

"Trust me Joan, you did a good job. You helped Ramsey in ways that you may not be able to understand yet. You kept him from doing something terrible that there was no coming back from. And in a way you even saved some other people."

"What do you mean?" Joan asked

"Abby and Carter. They'll get married they'll have kids. Now those kids are going to do some great things. They just needed a little push to get together. It's like a chain; everything is connected."

"And what's my new assignment?"

"Take a vacation"

"Like to Hawaii?" Joan asked excited

"No, no" God said laughing

"Aww. I so needed a good tan"

"Take time to heal Joan. You need to take good care of yourself" God said smiling "But you don't need me to always tell you to do the right thing. You can do some great things on your own too." The little girl stood up and got her ball "I have to go. I'll see you later" And with that she kept walking giving Joan her signature wave

"Here" Adam brought her back to reality handing her an ice cream cone "It's not chocolate. I really have no idea what it is, but it has to be better than the hospital" Adam said smiling and sitting with her. Joan smiled too and took it.

"I'm sure it's good" She said eating and giving him some too. And eating their ice cream, sitting in a park bench in silence they felt more connected to each other than ever before. They spent all day there sitting together holding each other's hands and looking at each other until it was time to go back for dinner.
