This is a revision of Melinda's story
"Jeff and Ginger open up"
Jeff waited impatiently in the waiting room while the doctors were
working on Ginger. He tried to make small talk with Hank, Linda and
his mom but it always ended up in silence. The doctor finally came
in, which what felt like years to Jeff, and said, "Mr. Metcalf, you
can see your wife." Jeff than got up and quickly walked to Ginger's
room. The doctor whispering said, "she should wake up soon." and
left the room.
Anne, Hank and Linda met the doctor outside the room and asked if
GInger was going to be alright. The doctor answered, "Your daughter
in law did very well and she should be physically ok...but she has
lost a big part of her life. Just be aware of what you say around
her."
Jeff took Ginger's hand and sat down. A few minutes later he felt
her hand move. Jeff jumped up and looked at Ginger. She slowly
opened her eyes and smiled at the sight of Jeff. Than her smile
dwindled and said, "Jeff something is wrong. The baby." Jeff looked
into her eyes and said, "Ginger, you're alright and that is all that
matters right now." Ginger looking panicked said, "Jeff what
happened..." Jeff went on to tell her exactly what had happened.
Ginger's face turned pale and she sat up started crying, and put her
head on Jeff's chest. Than Ginger said, "I want to go home..."
Finally back to the house Jeff helped Ginger in the door.
