Disclaimer: I do not own any of Ghost Whisperer, but if I did, the show would definitely not be over.

A week has passed. Jim and Melinda have been working long hours at the office. The damage that Sam had caused was almost repaired. The last meeting of the day had just ended and Jim trudged back to his office. Slumping into his chair, he let out a sigh.

"I'm sick of this." Jim said.

Melinda was still in the conference room having a one on one with a client. Ten minutes later, she walked into their office to find Jim asleep at his desk. Melinda smiled to herself. She made her way to her own desk and logged onto her computer. An e-mail popped up with an unfamiliar e-mail address. Melinda's eyebrows furrowed as she opened the e-mail.

"Oh my god!" Melinda gasped.

What she saw on her computer screen shocked her. There were a dozen pictures of Sam, naked pictures. She started deleting them as Jim woke up.

"Mel. I'm trying to sleep." he raised his head.

"I'm sorry. Go back to sleep." she furiously clicked on her mouse trying to delete the contents as quickly as she could.

"What's wrong?" he stood up from his desk.

"Nothing! You just sit back down and sleep." she was still in shock.

"Actually, I'm ready to go home." he started grabbing his stuff.

Melinda didn't want Jim to see what she saw. He started walking over to her desk as she was clicking. Luckily, she deleted the last picture before Jim reached her.

"You ready?" he asked.

Melinda got up quickly and pulled Jim to her. She kissed him passionately for a while.

"What was that for?" he asked stunned.

"I love you… and only you." she said, then grabbed her stuff and led Jim out of the office.

It was Melinda's turn to share her apartment, so when she opened her door, she turned to Jim and pulled him into a kiss by his tie, pulling him into her apartment.

The couple engaged in a hot make-out session on the couch. Melinda was lying on her back with Jim on top of her.

"Uh, Jim." Melinda broke off from the kiss.

"Yeah?" he said breathlessly.

"Can we maybe, just lay here? Together?" she asked, shyly.

"Of course." he was a bit confused as to why she was acting strange, but he laid down next to her and pulled her close.

Melinda clung to him for dear life. She had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach and it was hard to ignore. Soon enough, she had fallen asleep in Jim's arms. Jim decided to start making dinner while Melinda slept peacefully on the couch. He gently got up from the couch and went into the kitchen. He settled on making a salad, baked chicken, and ice-cream for dessert.

Meanwhile in the living room, Melinda slumbered, dreaming peacefully.

***Dream***

Jim and Melinda were in her apartment enjoying a night in together. They were eating dinner and drinking some wine. Jim had his feet on top of the coffee table, resting against the back of the couch. Melinda had her legs across Jim's lap with her back against the arm rest. Jim was slowly caressing her legs as they talked. Melinda moved closer to him and kissed him. Something suddenly felt off. She pulled away and gasped in shock. Melinda tried to move away, but he pulled her back against him.

"What's the matter, Melinda?" he asked. "You seem scared."

"Of course I'm scared! What the hell are you doing here?" she asked.

"You want me. You know you do." he smiled.

"The hell I do!" she broke free from him and stepped back.

"You know you're making a huge mistake." he said. "I'm the one you should be with."

"I DON'T want you, Sam! What part of that don't you understand?" Melinda shouted.

"Jim doesn't love you." Sam ignored her. "He's trying to fool me, distract me from the company."

"Jim does love me." she said.

"He wants me to believe that you're the most important thing in his life. That way, I would just take you and his precious company would be fine." Sam replied moving closer to her.

"That's not true! Jim would never use me!" Melinda screamed, tears forming in her eyes.

"You sure about that?" Sam was right in front of her. "Think about it. Jim loves his company more than anything. Suddenly, he is in love with you? After six years of fighting? When I come back to town to ruin his company? Come on now. Even you're smart enough not to fall for that."

Melinda started to think about it. What Sam was saying did make sense. As soon as he came back to town, Jim had turned his attention to her, after years of hating each other. Maybe she was just a ploy to save his company.

Before Melinda could say anything else, Sam kissed her. It wasn't just a chaste kiss, it was a passionate one. She didn't know why, but she continued to kiss him. Sam gently pushed her against the wall, and Melinda didn't protest.

Melinda woke with a jolt. She sat up on the couch.

"What the hell kind of dream was that?" she asked herself.

She looked around the room in search of Jim. He was no where in sight. Melinda thought for a minute.

What did the dream mean? Was she questioning Jim's love for her? Did she subconsciously want Sam? Was her mind just messing with her?

She had no clue.

Melinda took a deep breath and tried to focus.

"It was just a dream. A nightmare, actually." she told herself.

"What's a nightmare?" Jim spoke as he walked into the living room.

Melinda practically jumped out of her skin. Jim chuckled and sat next to her on the couch. Melinda poised herself into a sitting position, slightly away from Jim.

"Uh, nothing. Just some stupid dream I had." she averted her eyes from him.

"What was it about?" he placed a hand on her back in a concern way.

There it was. That tingling sensation Melinda always felt when Jim touched her, sexually or not. A surge that warmed her heart instantly.

'How can I question that?' Melinda asked herself.

"Mel?" Jim pulled her away from her thoughts.

"Huh?" she looked at him, his eyes enchanting her.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." she nodded, convincingly.

Jim decided not to push it. Melinda could see the worry etched on his face, but ignored the voice in her head that told her to confess her dream.

"Okay. Well, dinner's ready if you're hungry." he forced a smile.

"Great. I'm starving." she smiled and went into the kitchen, leaving Jim behind.

Once she stepped foot into the kitchen, she let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding. She started debating with herself.

'Lying to him is painful.' 'Then why do it? It was a stupid dream!' 'How will Jim react to it, though? Him turning into Sam and then me kissing Sam? He'll think I want Sam and I don't. Do I?' Melinda sighed in frustration.

"Shut up!" she shouted at no one in particular.

"Who are you talking to?" Jim asked, walking into the kitchen, clearly concerned for her.

Melinda spun around and forced a smile.

"No one." she said.

"Are you sure you're okay? You seem…off." Jim spoke as he deposited some food on a plate for Melinda, then himself.

"I'm fine, Jim." she said. "Stop your worrying."

"Alright." he gave up.

The couple sat at the kitchen table and quietly ate their dinner. Melinda broke the silence.

"Jim?" she said, unsure.

"Yeah?" he answered.

"What's the most important thing in your life?" she asked.

"What kind of question is that? You." Jim answered without hesitation.

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"Of course I'm sure. I would give up anything for you." he replied.

"Even your company?" Melinda asked quietly.

Jim looked at her in disbelief. What has gotten into her?

"Melinda. I have worked so hard to keep this company running smoothly. I put everything I have into it. But, if I ever had to choose between the company and you, well, I'd have to find another job." Jim spoke with such love and confidence, it made Melinda want to cry.

"I love you, Jim. Never question that." she said.

"I love you, too. What is going on? Why are you acting like this?" Jim asked.

"I…I, uh…just wanted to confirm what I already know." she smiled.

After dinner, Melinda skimmed her CD collection, searching for the right song. A smile beamed across her face as she picked up a Celine Dion CD. She popped it in and the apartment filled with soft, relaxing music. Jim had been sitting on the couch the whole time watching Melinda. She walked over to him and held out her hand.

"Dance with me." she smiled.

Jim smiled and took her hand. She pulled him off the couch and into the open area in her living room. Jim held Melinda close as she snuggled against him as they started dancing. Melinda inhaled Jim's sweet scent as they danced.

"Jim? Can I ask you something?" Melinda spoke.

"Anything." he answered.

"We've known each other for six years. During those six years, we've found all kinds of ways to get under each other's skin. I know that it was our way of hiding our true feelings for one another, but some of the things you did really hurt me and I know I've hurt you. And now, we're together. I just wonder, how can two people forgive so much pain one has inflicted on the other?" Melinda questioned.

Jim stopped dancing, lifted her head off of his chest and looked deeply into her eyes. He could see so much confusion and concern, it was heartbreaking.

"Mel, the things we said and did back then doesn't matter anymore. We may have hurt each other, yes, but we didn't mean anything we did. I don't know about you, but I forgave you for all of that a long time ago. My love for you eliminated any bad feeling I had towards you." Jim replied, softly. "There is nothing I doubt about our relationship, and there shouldn't be anything for you to doubt either. I love you and that's all that matters."

It was at that moment, Melinda threw all insecurities out the window and didn't doubt her relationship with Jim anymore. Everything that has happened between the two was true. There was nothing Jim wouldn't do for her. Together they would put Sam in his place.

"I love you, too." she smiled and kissed him with every ounce of passion inside her.

Melinda pulled away and looked up at Jim smiling. He smiled down at her. She held him tighter as they began to sway to the music once more.

Okay, I know this chapter is kind of short, but hopefully the next chapter will make up for it. Please review. :)
