Colleen POV

"Who are you?" I ask staring at this good looking man in front of me. "baby, I am Josh, your husband" he says crying. "No you aren't" I say backing up in my bed. I grab my head which is throbbing as a nurse walks in. "She doesn't know who I am. Get the doctor" he tells the nurse. She nods and shouts out the door to get a doctor. "Colleen, do you know where you are?" the nurse asks. "In the hospital" I say quietly. "Do you know why?" She asks taking my blood pressure. I shake my head no as I start to cry. "Colleen you had a baby girl earlier today. A gorgeous baby girl" she says smiling. I look at Josh and he is sobbing. "Josh is your husband. I think you are bleeding in your brain and thats why you don't remember" she says. I just nod. A doctor walks in and checks me over. "My head really hurts" I say to him. "Colleen you are bleeding. We will take you to surgery so you can make your way back to your family" he says squeezing my hand. Everyone leaves the room and Josh reenters as he hangs up the phone. "Your parents are coming back" he says. "Josh I am sorry I don't remember you" I say seeing he is visibly upset. "Its ok sweetheart. The doctors will fix you" he says. I reach for him and he gladly takes my hand. "Can I kiss your hand?" He asks. I nod smiling feeling his love just by his touch.
I see my parents walk in about 20 minutes later and Josh steps out in the hallways with them.  I sit quietly staring at my supposed baby girl lying in the bassinet. I slide out of bed slowly and walk up to her. I lay my hand on her belly as she stares at me. "Baby" Josh says walking up to me with my parents. "Colleen, sweetie you know this is your husband right?" My Mom says rubbing my back. "So I have been told" I say before my head starts to really hurt and I slide to the ground as I grab for Josh. "My daughter needs help please" I hear my dad say as I close my eyes. The pain is too much.
"Colleen the bleed is affecting your short term memory, basically the last ten years, that is why you can remember your parents" the doctor says as they prep me for surgery. I nod and look at Josh. "I hope I remember you" I say as they wheel me away.
