Here is something different from me, but I quite like it and hope that you guys do too.
Rachel: Thanks for the review. I'm glad you thought the chapter was brillant. I've reviewed your Iain story.
The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 421.
Jessica is alone, it's saturday night, the kids are with their friends. She decides to head up stairs to bed. She undresses and puts on a pair of pj's, all the while, looking at the picture of her baby boy. She sighs, pulls back the covers, gets in and closes her eyes.
"Mummy?"
Jessica wakes to hear "mummy" again: Lucas and Amelia had stopped calling her mummy a long time ago and she misses it. She rubs her eyes, covinced she's tired, her mind is playing tricks on her.
"Mummy!"
OK, she's scared now. But it all becomes clear. A small boy is standing in her room, she knows who it is.
"Baby?" she whispers. She can't believe it, her baby, Harry, is in front of her. Jessica looks at her son, he's still dressed in the bluesleep suit.
"I'm sorry, Harry,"'she whispers.
"I'm with uncle Alex" Harry replies.
Jessica laughs, Alex had died while she had been 8 months pregnant.
"Is he ok?" Jessica asks, finding it surreal that she's having a conversation with her deceased son.
Harry nods. "We watch over you and daddy. "
At the mention of Adam, Jessica finds her gaze being drawn to the only wedding picture she allows herself to keep in the room, Harry is in her arms. She keeps an album, which is gathering dust as it haunts her
"Mummy, I have to go, Alex will be waiting" Harry tells her. Jessica doesn't want him to, but she knows that he has to, he has another life now. She reaches out her arms, wanting to feel her baby, one last time. Harry's small body fits in to hers and she wants to keep him with her forever. He's walking away from her now, until she can no longer see him.
She reaches for the photo and smiles, happy to know her baby isn't scared and has people around him that love him and care for him.
