After every one left, Mom and Andy carried the sleeping children to David's and Brad's room, Jesse and I stayed on the couch. It was just mom and Andy in the house and Rosie had gone to bed already. Mom and Andy came back down and sat across from us. I had to tell them the truth.

"Would you like some tea?" Andy asked looking at Jesse and I.

We shook our heads and I went forward.

"Mom, we weren't in Mexico for the past 18 years."

"But you said you were." she said looking at me with wandering eyes.

"If I'm going to tell you this, I have to say it form the beginning. Mom, I'm a mediator. It means I can see ghost. And I have been able to since I was two. "

"What does this have anything to do with why you were gone?" Andy asked.

"Well, when I first moved to Carmel, there was a ghost sitting in my window seat. His name was Jesse de Silva. I fell in love with him and I couldn't imagine my life without him. But we both knew that he'd have to cross over one day but I couldn't face the facts. Until Paul came to me with a plan that he was going to send Jesse back to where he had died. To make it so that he won't die and meet me. But I went to 1850 first and after I told Jesse, and after he solved his own problem, a fire started and Jesse and I jumped out of the window from the hayloft and I lost my memory. I had been there for a few weeks and somehow, the person that I had become, fell in love with Jesse, and he fell in love with her. Jack came for me at the end of my few weeks tenure, but he was an older boy. I couldn't come back without Jesse and I couldn't ask him to leave his family. So 15 years went down by my clock and 18 here and then we just appeared in a highway present day. I called Paul and that's how it went." I said then taking a deep breath.

"It's romantic really. You made a bad choice, but in the end you get all that you want. The man of your dreams who doesn't have any money to provide for my daughter, and your family, who is still here and would never say no to you." My mother stood up and left to her room. Andy just sat there and looked from Jesse to me.

"I don't care where you went Suze, I'm just glad you are home. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. And don't worry about your mother, she's in her moods all the time now. Maybe with you back, she will calm down. I never told you this, I don't know if I should have or not, but you were like a real daughter to me. See you in the morning, hey Jesse, we start out tomorrow. So be ready."

"yes sir." and then Jesse and I went to my room and to my surprise, it was just the same as I remembered.

"Nice room." Jesse said giving me a passionate kiss. "it looks like the one at that Inn.

"It is Jesse." And taking off the overalls, cause with experience, overalls where a pain to sleep in, I crawled into bed and Jesse did the same only on the daybed. I was home now.

The next day when I woke up, Jesse had already left and there was a note on the bedside table next to me.

-Hey Querida-
I'll be back later,
I think this will be good for us.
I talked to your mother, and I don't think she's mad at us anymore. Love you and Paul has the children.
Love,
Jesse.

I put the note in the table put my overalls on and left the room. My mom was gone but Rosie sat on the table with the dog at her feet. I gave the dog greetings and looked into the fridge for some orange juice.

"Can you really see ghost?" She asked.

I looked shocked. Had she heard?

"Yes I can. Why?"

"Oh no reason. It makes perfect sense now. Your husband Jesse, so he was a ghost when you met him?"

I nodded.
"It wasn't the best way to meet someone, but yeah. He was there for me when I needed protection against other ghost."

"There aren't that many at the Juniperro Serra."

I stopped.

"You can see ghost!"

"Shhhhhhh. I don't want mom to know."

"But you have to tell her. Look what happened to me. I didn't tell her until I was 31! Tell her Rosie."

"I told you out of confidence. I thought we could be friends. I thought you were my sister."

"Fine, I wont tell her but I expect you to tell her." the baby kicked.

"You okay?" she asked me.

"Yes I'm fine. Don't you have school?" I asked her.

"It's summer Suze."

"So what do you normally do then?"

"Well, I was at camp up until a few days ago and Dad said I needed to find something to occupy my life with so I go to the mission and help out father D. But he was busy the past few days so I just sit here and watch TV."

"Don't you have any friends?" I asked putting some waffles in the toaster.

"Are you kidding? Me friends? I don't have any because I'm such a freak and all."

"Do people at school know about the gift?" I asked. I referred to the 6th sense as a gift since it showed me the love of my life.

"Gift? You call it a gift? No I didn't tell them. I had friends but these two girls start putting out rumors about my sister and well, my fist met their faces."

"You didn't get in trouble did you?"
"I got suspended for a week. But its okay. I was defending my family."

"Thank you."

"Oh my gosh!. Suze. You're leaking. I think your water broke."

dun dun dun...haha...i think the next chap is the arrival of the new baby and awhole bunch of Stuff.
