If Only, and Hanging On

Jessie found herself in a hospital room. As she came to, a doctor was leaning over her. "Am I going to be ok?" Jessie asked weakly. From under the doctor's clothing an answer replied, "You'd better be!" Jessie smiled as she realized who it was, "James! Look at you! What are you doing in that uniform?" "Um, I'm in disguise," he stated. Jessie letting out a sigh of relief, "I'm just so glad your not dressed as a nurse!" "And have to live up to Nurse Joy's body?" James kidded. "Careful," Jessie warned, as she weakly shook her fist at him. When she saw him back away a little at the threat of potential harm, she tiredly sighed, "Am I really that horrible to you?" "Truthfully?" he asked. She nodded and he took her hand, and gently stroked it. "No," he said sweetly, "it just gets a little excessive at times." "And I don't really mean to hurt you! It's just this- this reflex I have for some reason! I can't help it!" she tried to quickly explain, then caught her breathe and said, "But I'll try." James smiled at her. "I know!" Jessie yelled as an idea came to her. It was so loud that it scared James and caused him to hide. "Where'd you go?" Jessie asked. James presently popped his head up from under the bed, "Here I am!" Jessie fell back on her pillow, "Sweetie, your still scared of me? I'm in a hospital bed, weak and weary. How could I possibly hurt you?" Getting off the ground and sitting on the bed with her again, "How do you get a mallet out of midair?" he asked. She paused, having never really thought about it before, "I don't know. Hmmm….Hey, where's Meowth?" "Oh, he wasn't allowed in. No animals allowed, you know." James explained. Jessie chuckled to herself, "I'll bet he's not too sad. He's probably glad to see me take a fall like this, hmm?" James shacking his head, "No. He was really worried. He's the one that pulled you from the water." Jessie not believing what she's hearing, "He went in the water? For me?" "Yes! He wanted to do more but couldn't." Jessie getting teary eyed, "Who knew that that little furball would be such a good friend?" broke down and began to cry, James hugged her tightly, "Oh, James! I wish so much I could do everything over!" "But there's no need to, Jessie!" James continued as he made her look him in the eyes, "I mean, no matter what has happened. Don't you see that all the events in our lives, they have all lead us up to where we are now? If I hadn't done what I did, as much as I hate myself for it, it made us tell each other our feelings and I- I wouldn't trade that for anything!" Jessie gazed into his eyes and quietly said, "Is it any wonder I love you?" He smiled and kissed her gently. "What shall we do now?" he asked. "I don't know. What's my condition, Doctor?" she smiled at him. James looks confused, then remembered his costume. "Well, let me go see," he said as he got up, "Be right back!" James kissed her on the forehead and walked out the door to ask of his lovely lady's status. James walked up to a nurse and after finally convincing her that he was an actual doctor, she gave him Jessie's charts. As he looked at the papers, his face falls and seems disheartened.
