It was not that she wasn't glad Jackson was there, or that he was spending so much time with Harriet. But she didn't want to get used to his presence. She even had to remind herself they were no longer married a couple times. She hadn't even figured out how she would take care of Harriet once they discharged her; she knew she wouldn't be able to move much at first, or pick her up without help. Instead she kept thinking how different things would be if they were still married. She looked at Jackson, who was reading in the sofa.

- Is that another ice tea? It's your third one today…

- At least I'm not spending it on private planes… anymore.

April couldn't help but laugh. She remembered. Jackson smiled at her. ¡Oh, no!, she thought.

No longer married, no longer married. But she couldn't reprimand herself anymore, for a huge fuss started outside the room.

- Something seems to be wrong,- Jackson said- be right back.

Jackson left the room. April hated this, she hated she couldn't get up easily, that she couldn't help or even found out what was going up. And now the fuss had woken Harriet up. She swayed her slowly, calming her down. She couldn't do anything. She even needed help to change Harriet's diapers.

A little boy, no older than eight years, entered the room. He seemed scared.

- Hello, sweetheart. What's wrong?

- The… the doctor told me to wait here.

Jackson, April thought. Something must be really wrong.

- Very well, what's your name?

- Michael.

- What a lovely name. Come closer, Michael. Don't be afraid. Would you like to meet little Harriet.

Michael got closer. He looked at Harriet for a bit, but it was a bit hard for him, since he wasn't very tall, and April couldn't move much.

- I want to go back with my daddy.

God, had something happened to this boy's father?

- You will, in a moment. Do you mind keeping me company for just a little longer? I got hurt so I have to stay in bed for a while and I get bored.

- Ok- Michael said.

April started to tell him a story about a pig and a cow, who were best friends and lived together at a farm. He seemed to relax a little. April was telling him about the time both had tried to steal the farmer's tractor to go to town when Jackson entered the room.

- Hey, Michael. It's time to go back to your dad, ready?

Michael left the sofa quickly and holded Jackson's hand. After both left, April was relieved, Jackson looked calm, so everything must had gone well. After a few minutes, Jackson was back.

- What was that about?- April asked.

- He came with his dad to visit his uncle, in the next room. But his father had a panic attack after he found out he wasn't a match for the kidney transplant. He made quite a fuss. One of the interns had told him before the attendant got there, and the intern also freaked out, unable to explain himself. And the poor kid was watching all, so I send him here. He's calm now. It took sometime to convince him the UNOS list would work.

- I see, I will pray for them.

Jackson smiled and went back to the sofa.
