30 minutes later a doctor came out.
"How is she?"
"She's okay. We gave her a sedative that calmed her and now she's sleeping. But…"
"That's good… How's the baby?"
"Well, as far as he goes…"
"HE??? We're gonna gave a baby boy?!" Jim interrupted the doctor happily.
"No, you won't. She lost the baby. She lost too much blood. Her body had to make the decision if it saves the baby or her. Anyway there was something wrong with the baby… She was 8 weeks along but the baby was in the condition as if she was 12 weeks along.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO… WHY???? EVERYTHING WAS JUST SO PERFECT…" Jim yelled crying.
"I'm so sorry…" the doctor said and left. Jim went into the room where the doctor came out and saw Melinda lying on a bed looking tiny and pale connected with machines. 'Don't cry Jim… You have to be strong for her' he told himself. He sat down on a chair next to Melinda's bed and put her hand in his. He sat there for hours but Melinda didn't wake up.
Suddenly a nurse came in and looked at the monitors.
"Excuse me…" Jim said quietly.
"Yes?"
"How is she?"
"Are you family?"
"No, I'm her boyfriend and I was the father… Of the baby she lost" he said sadly.
"Well, I think that's family… She is stable."
"When will she wake up? The doctor said that he gave her a sedative to calm her."
"We don't know exactly when she'll wake up but I think in the morning. Do you want to stay here the night?"
"I'd love to stay here. She needs me…"
"Okay, no problem. I'll tell the doctor and you'll ring if she wakes up or the machines are making unusual sounds, okay?"
"Okay… Thank you!!!"
"No problem…" then she left.
"Melinda… I love you so much. Please wake up…" then he slept in, too.

In the morning Jim woke up by a loud beep. He looked up and remembered what had happened. The he looked at Melinda. Her eyes were moving under her lids. He called for a nurse.
"What happened?" the nurse from the day before asked when she came in.
"Her eyes are moving and the machines beeped loudly. You told me yesterday that I should call someone when something happens."
"Right… Thank you. Could you please wait outside while I'm getting the doctor?!"
"Actually I want to stay with her."
"Well, okay… But please just sit down and let us do our work."
"Of course I will."
The nurse called the doctor and they started to look at Melinda. The whole time Jim sat there and said nothing.
"Well, your girlfriend will wake up in a few minutes" the doctor told Jim.
"Okay, thank you" then the doctor left. "Is there anything I have to be aware of?"
"Well, you should tell her about the baby. It might be easier for her hearing it from you but don't throw it at her like a ball… Please do it step by step."
"Okay…" Jim said while the nurse also left the room.

10 minutes later Melinda opened her eyes.
"Honey… How do you feel?" Jim had tears in his eyes.
"I feel okay… I don't feel any pain anymore" she whispered and put her ands on her belly.
"That's good."
"Jim… Why are you crying?"
"Because… Damn how am I gonna tell you this??"
"Just say it straight away…"
"I can't… I promised the nurse to go step by step…"
"Well, then go step by step…"
"Your accident… You lost a lot of blood. Your body had to make the decision who to save…"
"I don't understand. Who to save? What are you trying to tell me, honey?"
"Your body had to decide between you and the baby."
"No… NOOOOOOOOOOOOO…" Melinda screamed and cried when she realized what he was telling her.
"Mel, calm down…"
"I don't want to calm down… I just want my baby…"
"I know, I want our baby boy back, too, but we can't change it. The doctor told me that you were 8 weeks along but he was in the condition as if you'd be 12 weeks along."
"A boy?? Jim…" she cried bitterly until she fell asleep again. Jim put his head on her pillow and fell asleep, too.

In fact Melinda wasn't sleeping. She waited until Jim fell asleep, got up and wrote a note to him. Then she got up, went to the elevator and went to the roof. She went to the end of the roof and looked down. 'That are probably 200m…' she thought. She stretched her arms and fell down in a free fall. On her way down she saw her whole life passing away.

Meanwhile Jim woke up and noticed that the bed was empty. He noticed the note on the pillow and read it.

Dear Jim,
I'm so sorry… What I'm gonna do won't be easy for you but I have to do it. I'm gonna jump of the roof of the hospital. I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU BUT I HAVE TO BE WITH MY BABY…
Love you, Melinda.

He jumped off the chair and ran on the floor to the next nurse he saw.
"Excuse me…"
"What is it?" a male nurse asked friendly.
"I slept in next to my girlfriend. She just lost our baby… When I woke up again she was gone and I found this on the pillow" Jim handed him the paper.
"We gotta go up there."
They ran to the elevator as fast as they could. When they reached the roof they just heard squealing wheels.
"NOOOOOOOOO… MEL…" Jim screamed. He lost his son and his big love. Now he was totally alone. The nurse brought him down to the street where many doctors and nurses were standing around someone. They went closer. Jim saw Melinda lying on the street. Her head was bleeding and her arms and legs were in a strange position. She probably broke every bone in her body. "MELINDA…" Jim screamed but she didn't react. It was like taking his heart away. He died in the inside when he realized that he'd never see his one true love again.

Feel free to hate me… All I can say is that the fic isn't over yet… So there might be something that changes… MAYBE…
