Joel and Moriah were expecting a beautiful little girl, Alexis.
Sadly, Alexis died at birth.
So, Moriah and Joel go on tour right after.
But, what they didn't know is that, after they left, Alexis came back to life.
But, after doctors couldn't fin...
Alexis fluttered her eyes open and stretched while yawning.
Sunlight flooded into the bus hallway, and she jumped out of bed. She walked into the kitchen where Joel and Moriah were dressed and ready for something.
She opened the fridge and grabbed some milk and opened a cabinet and grabbed some cereal. "Where are y'all going?" Joel cleared his throat as he took a bite of his bagel.
"You mean 'Where are we going.'" Alexis turned around to see Moriah holding some clean clothes for Alexis.
Alexis smiled, grabbed the clothes, and kissed her parnets cheeks for good morning. She walked into the bathroom and changed.
Joel and Moriah began to talk. Moriah started first. "Should we tell her?" "No, I don't want to ruin her happiness." "But, she'll find out anyways."
Joel sighed. "No, we can't tell her. She's just too young and... She seems so happy. I don't want her to think the days are counted."
Moriah looked at the ground, Joel was speaking the truth. "You're right. We won't tell her."
Joel nodded in time, Alexis walked out the bathroom. Her hair was in a messy bun and she smiled at her parents.

Moriah and Joel smiled back, sadly. It broke their hearts not telling Alexis the truth. But, it would break her heart if she did find out about it. So, they kept it a secret.

"Smallbone Family?"
A lady stood at the door way of the waiting room. She looked around to see if someone heard.
Joel stood up, with Moriah and Alexis. They walked towards her, and she led them into the doctors office.
Dr. Johnson smiled at Alexis and handed her a container of tablets. He smiled at her. "These are your vitamins. You must take three a day, if you want to be healthy again."
Alexis nodded and sat once again, putting the vitamins in her mother's purse. Doctor Johnson took a seat, and placed his hands on his desk. "Mr and Mrs. Smallbone, what I wanted to talk about-"
Moriah quickly interrupted the doctor. "Alexis, why don't you step outside." Alexis gave a confused look, "Why?"
Moriah bit her lip, what was she suppose to tell her. Joel saved her, thankfully. "Why don't you go make friends with the nurse in the main office?"
Alexis shrugged while smiling, and skipped out the room to make friends with the main office nurse.
Dr. Johnson looked at Joel and Moriah. "You have not told her?" Moriah sighed, and played with her wedding ring. "No. She is just to young and happy, I don't want to ruin that." Dr. Johnson nodded. "I understand. I wanted to talk about, the time left that..."
