Bridget

"Hey little sis." I heard a boy say from behind me.

I turned around quickly "Jacob!"

He gave me a huge hug.

"Am I…um…. Dead?" I asked

He shook his head "Not if you're strong enough to wake up."

He took my hand and we walked through the door of the hospital. It led into my old house from my childhood.

"Jacob." I said quickly "I don't want to go in here."

He gave me a small tug "It's okay."

The last time I was in this house was the day that Jacob died. I haven't had the courage to go back to the house yet. And it's been 8 years.

"So, my little sis got married?" he asked with a smile.

I nodded "And you'll have a nephew."

We walked through the house, it was the same way it was a few hours before Jacob died, before all the ruckus in the house started.

"I missed this place." I told him.

"Yea, me too."

Then we walked out the back door and into the backyard, I knew exactly where he was bringing me.

"Our tree house" I said happily, following Jacob up the ladder attached to the tree.

"Still in tact." He joked "Dad said this would fall down the moment we climbed up here."

"We did do a good job building this, for being so young." I pointed it.

"You're telling me. Except when we forgot to build a ladder, and we got stuck up here until mom found us." He laughed.

Then I took my brother's hand "I missed you so much Jacob."

"I know beanie" (that was his nick name for me) "I missed you too."

"Is Mom okay?" I asked

"Good. She misses you and dad." He said.

A small tear fell down my cheek and Jacob brushed it away.

"Think it's time for you to get back?" Jacob asked me.

I tried to smile "I guess."

We climbed down the Tree House and were now on the beach, our favorite spot of all.

Jacob pulled me close "Take care of yourself, and my nephew."

I smiled "Take care of Mom, and tell her I love her."

"Will do. I love you Bean." He told me, kissing my forehead.

"I love you too Jacob." I said, trying not to cry.

The next thing I know, James is sleeping at my bedside.

I weakly stroked his hair.

"Bridget!" he said happily, although tiredly "Are you okay?"

I nodded, to weak to talk.

The doctors came in, and monitored the baby and I.

"Mrs. Scott." The doctor said "This is a miracle."

After I got a glass of water, I looked at my wonderful husband "How long was I here?"

He sighed "Three months."

I almost spit out my water, and realized the bigger baby bump on my belly.

"I'm……I'm due in 8 weeks?" I asked.

James smiled "Yep."

"I'm sorry." I apologized. I guess I was sorry for everything, for messing up everyone's lives the past three months.

"There's nothing to be sorry about. I'm just so happy you're okay." He told me

"And we're graduation in 1 month?" I asked.

James nodded.

"Boy, time flies."
