the stab. No charges were pressed against me considering that I did for survival. The next day I go with melody to the hospital to visit him. He is in a coma and so all I can do is stare at him. Melody stays outside. The doctor pulled me aside and told me that he was fine and that he might not have his memory but he will eventually start acting normal.
As I drive home I see Natalie’s car and then I see Natalie with two boys in her arms. I don’t talk as I carry melody up the porch stairs and open eh door. I leave it open putting melody down on the couch I see her putting the two boys on the other opposite couch. I stand facing her. “Hi Natalie.”
The two boys are Andrew and Grayson. Their boy twins. She cut her hair to shoulder length. Dyed it blonde and now she’s taller than me. “I need a place to stay. I can’t pay that rent for the house without Jonathan and keeping up with the kids are too much for me to handle. I won’t bother you and since you killed my husband I think I have the right to come and see you.” I smile. “I missed you too nat.” she smiles and I can see her eyes welling up with tears. “I missed you too.” She comes over and we awkwardly tried to hug and after a moment we actually hugged and it felt good to know that I had family again.

A few weeks later Aiden came home and even though he didn’t remember me he wasn’t like hiding away from me. Natalie was the problem.
It was a Friday afternoon, after picking up the kids form school I notice Natalie and Aiden being too nice. “Oh hey whast going on?” Natalie has a slight blush to her checks and I can see the flash of guilt go through her eyes. Then Aiden laughs. “My wife doesn’t know how to cook!” I laugh a little confused. “Yes I do silly!” he stops laughing and puts his arm around her waist. “Okay. Good for you but im not talking about you.” I shake my head. And look over to Natalie. “Will you excuse us Aiden, Natalie and I have to talk.” He goes out to the living room. “What the hell did you do!” she is biting her lips. “I kind of told him we were married.” I look at her. “Kind of?” she nods. And sighs putting the spoon down. “Well technically we should be.” I can feel the tears. “But you aren’t. We are and we were happy and he’ll remember. The doctor said it. He will remember one day and… How the hell can you do this to me?” I look back at her tears streaming down my face. “You took him away from me.” She picks up her dish towel and puts it in the kitchen. “Just like you took him from me.”

She walks out and doesn’t look back.
Melody and the kids are playing in the living room with Aiden. “Aiden can we talk for a second?” he nods and we walk upstairs. “You and I are married. Natalie is my cousin and she thinks she is in love with you. She is trying to get back at me. I killed her husband and now she’s after me. Please believe me. I even have photos.” I take out the box of photos throwing them at him. “Look!” “That was when our melody was born and when we got married and our honeymoon to London and when melody started walking and then when you first re did the kitchen and that’s all of us at the beach. You are kissing me and melody sis in our arms. Look the engagement rings!” his shaking his head. “No Maby that was when we got divorced.” I sigh frustrated. “We never divorced!” he laughs. “Yes we did. And then I married Natalie.” I yell!” no you and Natalie never married. She was married to Jonathan before he tried to kill you and then he died! And so know she wants to get back at me.” He just looks at me. “Please remember!” he shakes his head. “Im sorry” I grab his shoulders and kiss him. He kisses back and when I pull away im ready to face it. “I won’t allow you to think you’re married to her but if you think you’re in love with her I guess I can’t force you to love me. I just wish one day you’ll love me equally like I love you.”
With that I walk out leaving him dazed. Letting fate take life were it wants.
