Chapter 5: 6.01 "Anniversary Presence"

Melinda walked into the ladie's restroom, after waiting for 2 hours on some update on Jim, the doctor's still weren't saying much. She slipped her cell phone into her purse and stalled in front of the restroom sink, she glanced down before turning the water on and leaning down to splash water on her face, she didn't care that she was washing her make-up away, her make-up was pretty much messed up anyway as she was crying her eyes out anyway. She splashed the water over his face one more time before shutting the water off, Melinda stared at herself in the mirror. She couldn't believe this happened, she couldn't help but feel like she was a curse because everytime her and Jim went somewhere for their anniversary or just a simple date something always happened. "I'm bad luck" she mumbled. That was the only explanation she had to why bad things happened to Jim and Aiden and their friends.

"Melinda Gordon, please report to the nurse station in the east wing" Melinda's stomach twisted as she heard her name being called over the P.A. throughtout the hospital. Melinda grabbed a piece of paper towel and wiped her face off. She tossed the paper towel in the trash bin as she exited the bathroom. Melinda held onto the strap of her purse as she walked down the hall and turned the corner. She froze as she seen the doctor standing at the Nurse's station down the hall waiting for her, she couldn't go down there and talk to the doctor, she was afraid of hearing the worst from the doctor. Melinda glanced down at the ground as tears filled her eyes again "Please" she whispered. "Please be ok, Jim". Melinda wiped her eyes and started to walk down the hall again when she seen a familar face walking towards her "Mom" she mumbled.

Beth Gordon stared at her daughter as she walked over to her, she never seen her in so much pain before.

"What are you doing here" Melinda asked, wiping her tears away. "I told you I would be okay" she added.

"Your my daughter, Melinda. Did you actually think I would buy that "Don't worry. I'll be okay" line when you told me what happened" Beth arched her eye brow at her.

Melinda shrugged her shoulders "I guess not". Melinda stared past her mother looking at the doctor again. "I'm suppose to go see that doctor but I don't wanna know what he has to say. I'm scared, I can't lose him again" Melinda whimpered.

Beth shook her head "Your not going to" she told her daughter as she hugged her.

"We should of never came out here. We should of just celebrated with a nice dinner. None of this would of happened" Melinda cried.

"Stop. Right now" Beth ordered her daughter. She didn't want to see her daughter blaming herself for this. "This is not your fault. Going on this trip for your and Jim's anniversary did not cause this".

Why did she feel like that everything happens was her fault then, especially when it came to Jim, Aiden and their friends.

Beth pulled out of her daughter's embrace "Come on" she whispered as she wiped the tears from Melinda's eyes "Let's go see what the doctor says" Beth took her daughter's hand in hers as they both walked down to the nurse's station.

"Ms. Gordon" the doctor asked as he seen the two women approaching him.

Melinda nodded "Yeah that's me" she breathed in deepily before exhaling. She slightly tightened the grip on her mother's hand.

"I wish I had better news" the doctor sighed. "Your husband is in a coma. It appears he has some swelling from when he hit his head from the fall. There's no damage to any of his organs or arteries. No heart attack from the shock or stroke" the doctor said as he glanced down at Jim's file.

The words coma echoed in Melinda's head repeatedly. She bit her lip as she was going to ask the question she was fearing "He's not gonna die is he" she bit her lip. Melinda regretted even asking that question now, she didn't want to know the answer.

"It's all up to him now" the doctor told the two women.

Melinda nodded "Can I see Jim" she asked in a mere whisper.

The doctor nodded "Right across the hall" the doctor pointed to the room "Room 247".

"Why don't you go see him sweetie, I'm gonna ask the doctor a few questions" Beth told Melinda.

Melinda nodded and walked away, leaving the doctor and her mother standing there.

Beth looked at the doctor "I'm nurse, doctor so be honest with me" she sighed. "What are the chances of Jim waking up" Beth asked.

"I really don't know" the doctor sighed as he looked at the paper's in Jim's file. "My personal opinion would be 50/50 shot he has in making it" the doctor added.

Beth sighed heavily "How bad is the swelling" she asked.

"Give me 20 and then you can come down to radiology and I'll show the test results from the scan" the doctor recommended.

Beth nodded "Alright" she turned around and walked away. She froze in the doorway to Jim's room as she seen Melinda sitting in a chair beside Jim, her back facing towards the door.

Melinda looked up at the machine's connected to her husband, the steady beeping kept her mind at ease somewhat knowing that he was still there. She looked at her husband, his eyes closed, just laying there. "Jim, you need to wake up" Melinda finally broke the silence. "I can't lose you again" she whimpered, trying hard to hold back the tears that were already forming her eyes. "Aiden need's his daddy" she mumbled. Melinda laid her hand in Jim's hand "I need you. Please don't leave me" she stood up, leaning over and kissed Jim on the cheek "So open those eyes and come back to us please" she kissed him on the cheek again.

Beth leaned against the wall outside of Jim's room and wiped the tears away forming in her eyes as she listened to her daughter. It killed to see her daughter in so much pain, scared of losing her husband...again. Beth looked up at the ceiling "God, please let him wake up" she whispered, she was never one to be religious and do something like this but now she found it was needed. "Please. Don't take Jim away from my daughter" she did the sign of the cross. Beth exhaled deeply before walking into Jim's hospital room.
