Melinda ran over to the doctor, that she had came to known very well of the past two years.
"What's going on?" she asked, trying to keep her voice low as to not waking the sleeping baby in her arms.
"Jim has woken up and has been asking for you. He is very confused and won't speak to anymore but you" Melinda smiled for the first time im two years,
"Thanks, can you watch her. If she wakes up just send someone in to get me please. " she asked, the nurse who had brought over a stroller. The nurse nodded, she had also become close with Melinda and helped a lot when Alexis was born.
Melinda raced down the familiar hallways to Jim's room. Jim was awake in bed and just looking at all the changes around him.
"I can't believe it you are awake" Melinda exclaimed, hugged him so hard that it made the bed sink down against the extra weight of a person.
"Melinda, what are you talking about?"
"Jim, do you remember Hunter and getting shot?
"No"
"You have been in a coma ever since"
"Melinda, I am sorry. I didn't…"
"Jim, it doesn't matter to me. I am just so happy you are okay. I love you"
"I love you too" he said, Melinda smiled she had been waiting a very long time to hear that.
"Jim, I need to tell you something."
"Melinda, can we please not talk about anything right now. I have a huge headache and feel excused despite become in a coma for the past two years."
Melinda nodded and covered him up and kissed his head, she was grateful that he seemed to not have any major speech problems so far. It the back of her mind she knew that he still had a tough road ahead of him. The simplest task, like eating with a spoon is something he might have to learn along side his daughter.
The sound of a baby crying, from down the hall, could be heard in the room, Melinda could always tell her daughter apart from other kids.
"I will be right back" she said standing up.
"Mel, let the mother worry about it, we don't have kids"
Melinda opened her mouth to speak when Alexis was brought in and placed into her arms. Jim looked at her strangely as the baby seemed to calm down as soon as Melinda held her.
"Melinda, how did you do clam her down so fast""I was able to comfort her because…"
"Mama" Alexis said cutting her off.
Jim just looked at the baby with wide eyes.
"Jim. I would you to meet your daughter. Alexis Faith Clancy"
Note: I don't know a lot about a comas. I might not of gotten every right :).
