Jim was starting to remember more with each passing day, it had been a long and hard month on both of them.
Jim went into his daughters room and picked her up. "Well, aren't you miss stinky pants" he placed on the table and changed her. He put on her best outfit as she was going out with him on a special father daughter picnic.
"Jim, I have to go to the doctor. I will try to make it to the picnic on time" she was dressed in just a towel and her wet hair hung down her neck.
"I hope its good news" Melinda had been feeling sick for the past few weeks and got blood work done, and the results just came in today."
"I hope so too. I still think I have the flu or something" she got dressed and kissed her daughter and left grabbing her keys in her rush.
Jim went to the picnic and was having a great time, he was pushing Alexis on the swing as he talked to some of his friends. However, he just couldn't focus on anything, he needed to know about Melinda.
"Out" Alexis told her father, and he undid the straps of the swing and let her run around. Jim went to the table to start to make a plate for them to share, when he heard his daughter let out a scream that sent a shiver down his spine.
He turned around, and saw that Alexis was had fallen flat on her face, when trying to climb up onto the small frog that moved back and forth. Jim rushed over and wiped up the blood that was on her face with some napkins. After, he managed to clean up all the blood and found the source and he could tell that her cut was deep and he wanted to have her taken to a hospital, just in case she need some stitches
"Jim, I will drive you" Delia said walking over and he nodded
Jim was in the waiting room when Melinda walked out with her doctor. "Jim, what are you doing here"
"Alexis, she fell at the park and I think he will need some stitches. I am such a horrible father"
"Jim you are a great father, accidents happen and all that matters is that she will be fine"
Jim just shrugged as his daughter was brought out.
"She must of fallen on pebble and it pierced her skin, she will be just fine just keep the cut clean and give her something for the pain later." Melinda nodded and picked Alexis up who didn't seem to upset about her cut, since the nurse had given her a teddy bear.
"I will meet you in the car" Melinda said, running into the gift shop and buying two items.
It was a few hours later: when Melinda walked into the bedroom and sat next to Jim.
"I have something for you"
Jim looked up as she placed a tiny baby outfit into his arms
"Honey, isn't Alexis a little big for this"
Melinda sighed and pulled out a toddler size t-shirt, and handed it to Jim.
"Melinda, that's so wonderful" he said and gave a huge hug and kiss, he held up the t-shirt it. It was pink and in black letters it read; "Big Sister In Training"
