Melinda rolled her eyes strangely in every possible and impossible direction. She didn't react on his tryings to bring her back to reality. He lifted her and put her to the bedroom. Jim put her on the bed and got his little paramedic flashlight in order to look at the reaction of her eyes. Because there was no reaction he headed to the phone in order to call 911. Right at the moment he tipped the number Melinda kind of came back.
"Jim?"
"Mel…" he threw the phone away and ran towards the bed.
"What am I doing here?" she asked. "I was standing in the hall and now I'm here?"
Jim told her what happened before.
"Could that be dangerous for… for us?" was the first thing she could say after the shock. She held her belly.
"Dunno… We should go to the doctor…"
"Well, yeah! Can I ask you something?"
"Anything."
"If you see an URH… Do you see if there's anything wrong with our daughter?"
"Actually yes. Why?"
"Cause if this keeps happening… You know, that I have those accidents… Maybe it would be better to rent an URH machine and you can do those examinations. That's much better than going to the hospital all the time!"
"Wow… That's heavy. But I like your idea…"
"You just like it because you can play doctor and control me" she smiled.
"You know me like a book. But where can we rent an URH?"
"Dunno… Maybe in the hospital. I mean you are a paramedic and you know how to use this machine. That shouldn't be a problem, should it?"
"You're right. So let's go to the hospital for another examination and ask…" he smiled like a little boy.
Because Melinda felt sick Jim couldn't drive too fast. So they needed nearly half an hour to get to the hospital.
They went to the ER but no one cared about them. When a nurse went by Jim stopped her.
"Excuse me, my wife is pregnant and had an accident. Could you please go and get Dr. David Hill to us? He is her doctor…"
"Yes, of course" she left. Five minutes later David came. He told them that everything was okay with the baby. Because he was relived Jim gave Melinda a long, passionate kiss. He stroked her belly. They asked if they could rent an URH and got one. David found it strange but he understood. Melinda and Jim went back home. The day passed by quickly. They were just lying on the couch and watched TV, talked and enjoyed being together until Jim noticed that Melinda had fallen asleep. He brought her up into bed and went to sleep, too.
At 6.30am Melinda woke up because she was sick. She got up and went to the bathroom. Jim woke up, too, because the bed on Melinda's side was cold and he wanted to know if everything was fine. So he got up, changed his clothes and went downstairs but he didn't see his wife. Then he went up again and heard something in the bathroom. It sounded like someone getting sick.
"Mel?? Is everything okay??" he as ked through the door.
"No, not really…"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm not feeling well…"
"Oh, well, can I help you in anyway??"
"Dunno!" she got sick again.
Jim didn't know what to do. So he went downstairs again and made Melinda's daily breakfast soup and a toast for her. 15 minutes later she came down, too. She looked pale.
"Oh, honey…" he went towards her and gave her a hug. "I really don't know how to help you."
"You can't… I guess that's something I have to go through alone. Do I smell soup?"
"Yes" he smiled and handed her the plate.
"Hmmm… Delicious."
"Mel you need to eat more than soup… What about a roll with marmalade?"
"Sounds good. Strawberry?"
"Okay, I'll make you one."
"Hey, my mom will come at 4 pm which means we have the whole day for us…" she smiled.
"Want are you planning??"
"Well, we could go to the store. I just want to see that everything is fine. And then we could go for a little walk. I really need to get out of the house."
"Okay… After breakfast we'll go out. But what do you want to do in that store at this time?"
"Till we're ready it'll be like 8am… So we'll be right on time to open the store."
"You don't really want to work?! I thought we'd go in stay there like 10 minutes and then go again."
"C'mon Jim… The store is my baby…"
"And you have our baby right under your heart!"
"Jim…"
"We've talked about this… You know how I think about it!"
"I wasn't in the store for who knows how long. I need to show up there again. I cannot leave it to Delia. She also needs some free time."
"Maybe you just need another help there?!"
"That's ridiculous…"
"No, it isn't."
"It is… I just want to go to work for like 2 hours and I'll do it."
"C'mon. We're talking about maximum 3 years to stay home…"
"3 YEARS? You are kidding me, right?"
"Nope."
"Why don't you stay 3 damn years at home?"
"I cannot leave the guys alone…"
"So, okay… I cannot leave Delia alone and neither the ghosts!!! I'll go upstairs now…" she turned around and left Jim alone in the kitchen. They both started to cry. Melinda went to the bathroom in order to brush her teethes. When she was ready Jim did the same. After he was ready he went to the bedroom and found a piece of paper on his side of the bed. It was from Melinda.
What did Melinda do? Stay tuned ;)
