There's only one more chapter left ;)

"Really?" he asked a bit confused but happy.
"Yes, why not? Why are you confused about it?"
"Well, if I can remind you… You never wanted to have a child and I always thought that you would be done with one?!"
"I thought the same, too. But I have this feeling…"
"What feeling?"
"I don't know how to describe it. When I look at Aiden I feel guilty that he has no one to play with at home… I mean, yeah he has friends but that's not the same. And I thought it would be great to have another child."
"Mel… That really is a great idea! God, I love you so much!" he kissed her passionately.
"I love you, too" she answered after the kiss.
"Are you really sure about that?" Jim asked seriously.
"Yes, why not?"
"I thought that…. You know sometimes people who went through the same thing as you did are wishing things and when they happen they aren't happy about it… And I couldn't take it if we had another kid and you'd think it was a mistake" he explained her.
"I'm not like the others… You should know that, Jim. I know how much you'd want to have another kid. Do you really think that I'd play some games about that topic with you then?"
"I don't know…" he whispered a bit embarrassed.
"Hey…" she put her hands on his cheeks. "If I were you, I'd act the same way you do. I understand you, okay?!"
"Sure, but you don't have to be brave for me…"
"I'm not brave for anyone."
"Okay…"

Suddenly the phone rang. Jim picked it up.
"Clancy?"
"Hello, Jim. It's Dr. Martin. I have the results of Melinda's blood test. Can I talk to her please?"
"Yeah, sure" Jim faced Melinda. "Honey it's for you."
"Okay, thank you." she took the phone. "Hello?"
"Hello, Melinda. It's Dr. Martin. I have the results of your blood test…"
"Okay…" she said sceptically.
"We found something…"
"What?" she asked in shock.
"How do I tell you this now… It would be better if you were here…"
"Don't even try it. I won't come."
"Okay… Well, you're pregnant… You're about 5 weeks along… Maybe 6." Dr. Martin told her. Melinda couldn't say anything. She just went pale and started to shake. Jim noticed it and took the phone.
"Sorry Dr. Martin but we have to call you back" he said and hung up the phone. Then he sat up and faced Melinda. "Honey, what's wrong? What did he say?"
"He…" she just couldn't tell Jim about her pregnancy. "How long have I been in this coma?"
"5 weeks. Why?"
"OH MY GOD…" she stood up, took her purse and run out of the house. Jim stood up, too, and followed her. He totally forgot about Aiden being alone at home now. Melinda ran and ran for minutes. She didn't have a plan where to go to. Half way Jim didn't see her anymore and went back home.

The next morning he woke up and thought that everything just was a dream. He turned to Melinda's side of the bed but she wasn't there. He got up and went downstairs in the kitchen. He looked around but didn't see her. So he went up again and looked into Aiden's room but there she wasn't. Melinda used to go to Aiden in the morning and snuggle up to him. Jim panicked because again he didn't know where his wife was and what was wrong with her. She never told him what Dr. Martin told her the day before. Suddenly the phone rang and Jim went downstairs to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Mr. Clancy. It's Officer Stanley."
"Oh, hello…"
"Well, I want to make it short… We found Gabriel. He came back to his house. We took and arrested him. He's in prison for the rest of his life now."
"Thank god" Jim sighed.
"I just wanted to let you know this" Officer Stanley told Jim.
"Okay. Thank you!"
"You're welcome."
They hung up the phone. As Jim wanted to put it down he saw that the red light on the answering machine was blinking. He pressed it and couldn't trust his ears on what he heard.

"Hey Jim, it's me, Beth. I just wanted to tell you that Melinda is here. I guess she walked over. I found her on my porch this morning. Give me a call. Bye."

Jim immediately typed in Beth's number.
"Hello?" Beth picked it up.
"Hey Beth, its Jim."
"Hey. I called you this morning but you didn't pick it up?!"
"Yeah, I was talking to the police when you called."
"Ouh… Why?"
"They called me because of someone" he explained. He didn't know what Melinda had told her mother about Gabriel.
"Okay…"
"So Melinda is with you?"
"Yes, I woke up this morning because I heard a knocking against the door. I went downstairs and opened it. There I found her. She was sitting there hitting the back of her head against the door. She didn't talk. She just stood up and hugged me. I guess she has been there the whole night. She looked exhausted. So I brought her up into her old room. She is asleep now. What happened last night?"
"Okay… Thank god. At least I know that she is save. I don't know what's wrong with her. She got a call and after that she ran away…"
"Ouh… Do you want to come over?" Beth asked.
"I'd love to…"
"So come here and bring Aiden. We can have lunch together if you want?!"
"Yeah, sounds good. I'm gonna wake him up and then we'll drive to you."
"Okay… So see you then" Beth said.
"Yep. Thank you. Bye" Jim hung up the call, went upstairs and woke up Aiden. Then they both went to the bathroom to make themselves ready and drove to Hamilton.
