"Melinda, why didn't you tell you were pregnant the day of the wedding?" he asked, everything from the days leading up to his coma, was starting to piece together like a big family jigsaw puzzle.
"I didn't know till a few weeks later, I thought you wanted children" she rose to get a Kleenex from the bedside table.
"Mel, I didn't say I don't want a baby. It's just a shock to all the sudden wake up and have a daughter. It's also hard to know that I wasn't around for the first year of her life, or your pregnancy." Melinda looked at her husband and a tear slid down his cheek. She had never ever saw, Jim cry before even when he talked about his brother or father.
Jim quickly wiped his eyes. "Will she scream if I hold her?"
"No, she has a very good nature to her." Melinda threw her Kleenex into the waste basket and walked over.
She pressed that moved his bed up, so he was he was sitting up in the bed and handed him the baby. Since, Jim had not used his muscles for such a long time even the task of holding a baby could be extremely painful, Melinda took a seat next to him and made sure the hard bed railing was covered with something stuff. It broke her heart to have to do this she never imagined she would have sit next to her husband, like he was a young child holding his new sibling for the first time.
"Daddy? she question, looking from Jim to Melinda and back to Jim.
"Yes, this is daddy" Melinda always showed Alexis his picture when she first woke up and at bedtime. Alexis smiled and placed her tiny hands around Jims head and planted a kiss on his for head, it turned out to be more of a doggy lick.
"Alexis, I have something to tell you. I know you are too young to understand this right now. I just wanted to say that, I love you already."
"Wove you" Alexis smiled, she had just learned to group two words together.
Melinda felt a sprit enter the room and regoinzed it to be Jim's mom. Melinda knew she would stay earthbound till Jim woke up.
"I will be right back" Melina left the room and walked over to his mom.
"He is going great isn't he?" she asked his mom.
"Melinda, I wouldn't get too excited yet. I don't wan you t to be disappointed"
"What do you mean?" she asked, but she had already left. Melinda sighed she walked back into the room.
"Mel, who on earth were you talking too? I heard voices but no one else is around"
"Jim, It was a ghost that needed to give me a message."
"Melinda, are sure you didn't hit your head or something. I mean people don't see ghosts"
Melinda blinked the tears, he remembered her, the days leading to the accident, accepted his daughter easily, but he didn't remember one big piece of information about Melinda, that she had a gift.
