A woman and a male are pregnant. They both go into the nursery for their new born baby boy. The mother is so happy to have a baby with her husband. She looks over to her husband and asks if he is excited for the baby. He doesn't say anything and just walks away. The woman is confused and follows the husband. He goes to the fridge and grabs him a beer. 

The woman is even more confused. "Since when did you drink?" The man stayed quiet, and continued to drink his beer. Getting angry the woman walked up to him to touch his shoulder and her hand went through his shoulder. The woman isn't mad anymore, but more confused. "What the...?" The man starts to cry. Then it hit her. She's dead. She starts to tear up. "How did this happen?" "How did I die?" Then she stayed quiet for a second and looked down at her stomach, it's all bloody, and the baby bump isn't there anymore. 

The woman starts to wail. "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BABY?!" then a book falls off of the table. The man is shocked, and stands up, "What on Earth happened?" The woman looked at the man closely. He has grown out a beard, his hair is slightly longer than she remembered, "How long have I been dead?" The woman said. A couple of months go by and the woman watches her husband slowly killing himself. She hated seeing him like this. 

She can't do anything to help him. The man stands up and limps to the kitchen, opens a drawer of a cabinet and pulls out a knife. The woman looks at him in worry, 'please don't do it' the woman said to herself. The man goes to stab himself in the stomach. DING DONG. "Ugh the hell is that?'' The man drops the knife and goes to the door. The woman follows him, the man opens the door "What the hell do you wan-" He stops, There is this most beautiful woman standing there. 

"Hello, sorry for bothering you, but I just moved in two houses over and I thought I'd stop by and say hello, so uh hello." The beautiful woman smiles softly. 

The man just stands there "u-uh hello, um welcome" He said sheepishly, the woman behind him stares at the man,  the woman smiles. The beautiful woman smiles at the man again "I'm Abigail Grates, and you are?" The man just stood there for a second and cleared his throat. "I'm Harold Tutes." 

Abigail stood there for a few and then smiled and turned around and left, before she leaves, she waves at him. Harold waves back. With a smile on his face. He shut the door and walked back to the kitchen and just stood. "Please don't Harold, you have your whole life in front of you." Harold stops and turns to the living room and sits on the couch. 

The woman thought to herself, 'I need to get those two together somehow, it's the most I can do' A week goes by and the man has been more happy than usual. This made the woman happy. The man goes to the bedroom and gets dressed and grabs his keys. He looks down at them and it's his and his latest wife's rings are on the key rings. He looks upset and sits the keys back on the table. 

The woman looks at Harold in shock. 'No no no no, go out. You need this' The woman picks up the keys and throws them at the front door. Harold turns around so fast. "What the?" He walks over to the keys in confusion. 'Yes, go out.' Harold looks at the keys again and opens the front door. 'Yes finally' The woman follows Harold to the car, sits in the front seat with him. Harold goes to the mall, to just look around. 

The woman follows him, she looks around and she finds that Abigail girl! The woman tugs on the man's shirt ever so slightly and looks around and he sees Abigail as well. He smiles and walks over to her. "Uh Hey Abigail" Harold says, Abigail jumps a little bit. She looks behind her and smiles, "Well uh, hey Harold" She smiled mocking him slightly. He smiles. "What are you doing here?" The woman smiles as Harold and Abigail talk. 

The woman looks behind Abigail and there is a little boy. The little boy is hiding. The woman smiles at him, 'Even if he can't see, it's nice to smile' The boy looks at her and hides some more 'Can he see me?' Abigail feels a tug on her shirt and looks behind her, "OH! Harold, this is my son, Geoffrey. Say hi honey." The boy looks at Harold and waves at him. "I didn't know you had a kid, I bet you and your husband are proud of him."
