"Calm down Jim. There's a difference between Ned and Melinda. First, Ned isn't an adult yet. Second, he is my SON and not my WIFE! He's not enough knowledge of life… But Melinda has. But if you want to hear my opinion… I think Melinda should stay here."
"See Mel? Please stay here."
"One night… Not longer. If it turns out that my dream was right I'll go home cause they cannot do anything for me."
"If you know what's wrong with you why don't you just tell us?"
"Cause I wanna find out if it's true!" Mel watched at her clock. "Don't you have to get ready for your shift?"
"You don't really think I'm gonna let you alone right now, do you?"
"Guys I'm tired… I just want to sleep. I'm fine. Please don't worry about me. And Jim… Please go to work… I'll call you if anything happens." Delia, Beth and Ned left the room. Jim still sat next to Melinda's bed.
"Honey…"
"Jim, I love you so much… Please tell me where the difference is between you sitting here or helping people while I'm sleeping?!"
"You're right. But if I think of losing you…"
"Please…"
"Okay, I'll go but please call me when you wake up again… I'll be right back then…"
"Yeah, of course!" she said in a low and sleepy voice.
He gave her a kiss and left her. Melinda waited a few minutes and called the nurse because she didn't want to sleep.
"Excuse me, where can I sign out so I can leave?" she asked.
"It's not good for you to leave now. You've been in a coma! But if you wanna go we can't keep you here. Well, you have to go down the hall to your doctor. You really should go to the tests. You could lose consciousness anytime…" she responded.
"That's my decision but thank you. You guys just have to test my blood again and then you'll have some answers." Melinda responded mysteriously.
She went out of the room and searched the doctor. Suddenly she saw a shadow and felt a light wind. Melinda decided not to get too close to this guy because she didn't want to help anyone until she got out of the hospital. The shadow whispered something she couldn't hear. Then he got louder until he screamed. Melinda felt dizzy. Suddenly the shadow disappeared but Melinda couldn't forget the words 'Put an end to it!'…
Two minutes later she knocked against the door of her doctor's office and went into it.
"Oh… Miss Gordon…"
"Melinda."
"Okay, Melinda, what can I do for you?"
"Well, I want to go home and the nurse said that I had to ask you… So…" she gave him a smile.
"Do you really feel like you should do that?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. You just have to test my blood again and you'll understand."
"What does that mean?" he stood up and took some new blood from Melinda.
"You'll see…" she said mysteriously.
"Okay, if you feel like going home do it but I'm not really happy about that."
"Thank you" she smiled.
Melinda went back to her room, took the bag Jim brought to the hospital before, and left. She decided not to go to the fire station because Jim would be mad at her. So she went home and watched TV. Because there was nothing on she slept in.
Meanwhile
Jim ended his shift. Because Melinda still didn't call him he drove home in order to change his clothes. On his way home his phone rang but the caller ID said David.
"Hey David, what's going on? Is everything fine with Melinda?"
"Hey Jim… I just called her but she didn't answer her cell… So I thought…"
"Why did you call her? You just have to go to…"
"She left the hospital and I thought she might be with you?! But as you don't know it she didn't come to you…"
"SHE IS AT HOME?!"
"Well, yeah! But she forgot her cell here."
"Oh. Shall I come and get it?"
"Actually, no. We got the results of the new blood tests and we got to talk to her…"
"Why? What's wrong with her?"
"Sorry, I'm not allowed to tell you that unless she tells me that I can tell you."
"Damn."
"Jim? Could you please find her and bring her here?"
"Sure. Thanks David. Bye."
He hang up and drove home. When he arrived he ran towards the front door and opened it.
"Mel?" he shouted. Then he saw her on the couch.
"Hey, what's going on?" she said sleepy.
"Except that you left the hospital and didn't tell me, nothing. Oh, well, second you left your cell in the hospital and third David called me because he has the results of your test… He wants to see you!"
"Jim calm down. I left and saw a ghost but don't worry I didn't talk to him. When I came home I was so tired that I immediately fell asleep. Sorry."
"Yeah, okay. Let's go to David."
"Okay." She gave him a kiss.
They drove to the hospital. While they were driving Melinda felt sick but she didn't tell Jim. They arrived and went into the building. Then they knocked at David's office and went into it.
"Hey David." Jim said.
"Hey guys… Erm… Jim, I'm sorry but could you please leave the room?"
"No, it's okay. I want him to stay here. So, you wanted to talk to me? Did the test give you the answer?"
"Actually… Yes!"
"What's wrong with her?" Jim asked.
"There's nothing wrong with her."
"So why did she lose consciousness?"
"Well, Melinda… Congratulations you're pregnant…"
