It had been a week and James still had no clue what to decision he made was going to change decision was all on his shoulders.
James stayed up all night wondering what to do. Should he tell Sully and the children? Should he ride to Castle Rock and tell Molly...Michaela he corrected himself.
"What if she doesn't want them to find her?" James spoke aloud to himself.
But as soon as that thought entered his head he knew it was wrong. Especially after getting to know her. She wanted to know her family. She wanted to find out who she is.
With his mind made up he knew what he had to do. "Tommorrow,I'll tell they'll know!"he said aloud to himself as he closed his eyes for the night.
"James!" Brian exclaimed as he saw the older man approaching the homestead the next morning."Whatcha doin here?"
"Just came to see ya." James said smiling down at the little boy.
"Everybody is done eating breakfast. Colleen can fix ya something if ya hungry." Brian said reasoning that was the only reason he was here.
"Is Sully and Matthew here?" James asked looking towards the homestead.
"Yeah, he's inside. So's Matthew." Brian said as he turned to go inside the barn.
"Thanks, Brian." James said stealing himself for the reactions and questions he was going to face.
"What do ya mean she's alive?" Matthew said as he wrinkled his brow trying to understand the older man.
"I found her outside of Castle Rock. She was in horrible shape. Her head and feet all of her clothes all in tatters." James said as he looked down at the table he was sitting at.
When he had knocked on the door the family had just finished breakfast. Now Sully and Colleen were sitting at the table in stunned silence and Matthew was standing nervously holding his hat in his hands. Brian was still outside playing with Wolf.
"Why didn't you tell us a week ago?" Sully said regaining his composure. The last thing Sully expected was to hear this news.
"I didn't know what to do. All I know is that I couldn't keep the truth from her or you." James said looking straight in Sully's eyes.
"Is she alright?" Sully asked his voice breaking .
"She hurt her head pretty was in a coma for a while. When she woke up she couldn't remember anything. Her name or where she lived. The doctors call it amnesia." James said quietly, being took back to those first few weeks of metting Molly.
"I heard of it. There should be something in Dr. Mike's medical books." Colleen said getting up to go to the shelf where Dr. Mike kept some of her medical books at home.
"You mean she doesn't remember us?" Matthew said still not believing his story.
"She don't remember nothing. She don't remember her family, growing up ,or moving here." James said eying the young man up and down.
"This is crazy!" Matthew yewlled throwing his hands up in the air." Our mother is dead. Now I don't know what reason ya got for making up this story but my brother and sister don't need any false hope that Dr. Mike's alive."
"It's not false hope. I think it's her." James said looking at Matthew then at Sully.
"What makes ya think that?" Sully asked hoping it was his heartsong.
"Her eyes. Are they two different colors?" James asked as everyone in the room stared at him in stunned silence.
"I found it." Colleen said walking towards the men with her head stuck in the medical book."Amnesia- a patients partial or total loss of memory."
"What are we going to do?" Matthew asked turning to Sully.
"The only thing we can do." Sully said getting up from his chair. Then turning his attention back to James,"You're taking us to Castle Rock."
