"You mean she doesn't remember anybody at all as of right now? Only her memories from her childhood and teenage years?" Mrs. Germanotta said.

"Yeah. Luckily she remembers her education and some of the family. But as for the children, she has no clue as to who they are but that's it. The doctors even checked her and told me the same thing. As of right now, everything is new to her. Mom, I don't know what to do," Jon said.

"Now you keep your head up. Don't give up. She'll come through," Mrs. Germanotta said. "I'm going to keep the kids for another night. They're really enjoying themselves."

"That's good. Well, I'm going to try to help Adriana regain some of her memory if I can," Jon said.

"You will. Love you," Mrs. Germanotta said. "I'll call you tomorrow."

"Love you too, Mom. Talk to you later."

Jon hung the phone up and went to make himself some coffee. He was downing his second cup when Adriana walked in.

"This is a nice house," Adriana said.

"I know. We picked it out. Remember?" Jon said.

"You keep telling me to remember this and remember that. I told you before, I don't know what you're talking about."

Jon got up and went to get the photo album. He brought it back and turned to the page that had the picture of them holding J.J. when he was a baby in front of the house.

"June 14th," Jon said. "We were excited about finding this house. We made it our home. This is where we are raising our family."

He took the photo out and handed it to Adriana.

Adriana took the photo and studied it.

"That is me...you sure?"

"Positive."

Adriana kept looking at the picture.

"Hmm...why is it that I feel like this has happened before?"

"Because it did. It did," Jon said. He was fighting back tears.

Adriana looked at him.

"Don't cry," she said. She placed the picture down on the table and gave Jon a hug.

"You don't remember anything," Jon said.

"Well, if you are telling the truth about everything, then I believe you. I mean, I...am in the picture with you and a baby. Such a cute baby," Adriana.

Jon pushed Adriana away from him.

"Why did you push me?" Adriana said.

"You remember taking this picture! Don't fucking bullshit me!" Jon said.

"Calm down!" Adriana said.

"Don't tell me to calm down!" Jon yelled at her. "You remember taking that damn picture!"

"Stop yelling at me!"

"Look at the damn picture!"

Jon grabbed the photo and held it up close to Adriana's face.

"Remember dammit. Sorry for pushing you," Jon said, "but you have to remember. That was also the day J.J. was sick and the both of us stayed up to take care of him."

"What's the baby's name again?" Adriana asked.

"Jonathan, Junior. J.J. I named him after me," Jon said.

"Your name is Jonathan...and his name is Jonathan...I remember someone from my childhood named Jonathan...was that you?" Adriana said.

"Yes," Jon said.

"Jonathan..." Adriana said. She placed a hand on his face. Slowly, the memories crept back in. "Jonathan...it is you."

"Yes! Yes! It's me!" Jon said. "I'm the boy from your childhood. Remember when I saved you from the bullies? You have the scar on your elbow from when you fell on the ground after they pushed you. On your left elbow.

Adriana looked at her left elbow.

"They did...assholes," she said.

Jon chuckled.

"Hey, I'm sorry for pushing you. I was just upset is all," Jon said.

"No, it's alright. Um...do you have anymore pictures?" Adriana asked.

"Yes, I do."

Jon showed Adriana all of the picture's from their childhood. It was easy for Jon to explain everything to her to refresh her memory. But once it came to remembering her being married and starting a family, it was tough.

"I really don't remember marrying you," Adriana said. "You sure you didn't drug me and make me your wife?"

"Yes, for the fifth time, I did not drug you and make you my wife. We fell in love at a very young age, we lost our virginity to each other, I went into the military while you went to school to become a vet, you thought I was dead but I wasn't, I came back to you and you were surprised to see me alive and well, you went with a dickhead named Luke, I beat him up at a bar for trying to hurt you, ah let's see...oh, we moved to Japan because I got stationed there, I almost had a close brush with death again but survived, then we had a baby and we named him after me, then we moved back here, we bought this house together, I became a police officer and you started your own vet busienss, we had three more children together, the last one you had about two or three weeks ago, and you...needed some help and everything was going fine until you fell from a tree and hit your head on the ground. The very tree I carved our name's into," Jon said.

Adriana looked at Jon.

"That's...a lot. Vet? Hmmm...oh yeah! Man, I need to get back there soon," she said.

"Give yourself some time to recover," Jon said.

"Oh, I'll be fine," Adriana said. "What is it that you do again?"

"I'm a police officer," Jon said.

"Oh my. Wouldn't want to get on your bad side then," Adriana said.

"We've had some fights before. Believe me," Jon said.

"Why?"

"Well, for starters you are stubborn. You can get very stubborn. Second, you have a slight temper. You'll lash out at me sometimes. And hit me. I did hit you back one time. I still feel bad about it, too."

"I do remember having a temper. I'm sorry for everything I did."

"It's alright. I'm sorry again for pushing you."

"Please, there is no need to apologize. You know, you're so cute when you smile. Your dimples make you look more cute," Adriana said.

"Oh hush," Jon said, blushing.

"No I'm serious. You do look cute. Very cute," Adriana said.

Jon noticed that she started looking at him lustfully.

"Adriana...you ok?"

"Yeah...I'm alright," she said.

She was inching closer to Jon.

"Why are you looking at me like that then?" Jon said.

"Because you're just too damn cute. Since you say you're my husband, shouldn't we be...I don't know...be making love to each other?" Adriana said.

"Well yeah...the last time though you just fell asleep on top of me," Jon said. "I was kissing you and the next minute, you're asleep."

"I did?"

"Yes."

"Well, I won't make the same mistake twice then."

Adriana scooted right next to Jon and started unbuckling his pants. Jon quickly stopped her.

"This is awkward," he said.

"How is it awkward?"

"Look, you barely know who I am. On top of that you wanna have sex. You need to get more of your memory back. Damn, this is like Jerry Springer," Jon said.

"Oh come on! Look, how about a kiss?" Adriana sai.

"A kiss will do," Jon said.

They leaned toward each other and kissed. Jon didn't want it to end. Adriana got carried away and stuck her hand underneath Jon's shirt. Jon was about to take her arm out of his shirt but declined. Adriana ran her hand across Jon's rock hard abs. This was driving him mad. Jon broke the kiss and took off his shirt.

"I like," Adriana said.

She climbed on top of Jon.

"I really wish you could remember everything," Jon said.

"I can. And I will," Adriana said. "After this, I would like to visit the park."

"Why don't we go right now?" Jon said. He picked his shirt up off the floor.

"No," Adriana said. "Later."

"No. Now," Jon said. He put his shirt on again. "You need to get some fresh air and so do I. We can set up a tent or something in the backyard and have sex under the stars tonight."

"Fine, whatever you say."


"Okay, so that swingset is the very same swingset we came to at this park. You hopped on the swing and asked me to push you. I was afraid of pushing too hard because even as a little kid I was heavy handed. So I gently pushed you. And you had the most prettiest smile I ever seen," Jon said.

"Everything's the same," Adriana said.

"Yeah it is. Now this is the tree where I carved our names," Jon said.

The two of them stopped and looked at it.

"This looks like the place I fell...with...some people around," Adriana said.

"Your children," Jon said. "The people around you were your children."

"I would love to meet these children of mine soon," Adriana said.

"Tomorrow," Jon said. "They're at your mother's house."

"What's her name again?"

"Gwenyth."

"Okay. I just need to see her face again. I mean, I know her but..."

"It's okay. We'll get through this," Jon said.

"I hope so. You're such a kind person," Adriana said.

"I try to be," Jon said.

"You don't have to try. You already are a kind person," Adriana said.

She pecked Jon on the cheek.

"Love you."

Jon smiled big.

"Love you too."


Author's Note: I was typing this as best as I could. I took a break because it was my birthday but I'm typing again. Adriana looks to be on the getting well quick though. We will see what happens.
