   Waking up after dying once could be a miracle.

                But waking up twice after dying, someone may say that you have a friend overhead.

                But I wouldn’t say that about me.

                I would just say that I had a guardian angel named Madison.

                After surgery and sometime in the hospital, I was questioned about my take in the murders of a few people.

                I shook my head as I knew that I hadn’t done a single thing wrong.

                So to help with the murder charge on Ryan, the DA asked me to help in his father’s case. Which I did, I gave them everything that they needed that landed that man on death row.

                He was killed 3 years after Ryan’s death.

                The day that man was killed, I think the whole state of Texas celebrate as his tyranny was now over and all us had a chance to breath as his bad judgments were now over and he was done destroying our great state.

                Me on the other hand, I walked away form everything.

                I walked away from 6 murder charges as no one had real evidence to push on me about anything.

                I also had a clean conscience as I knew that what I had done wasn’t by the hands of a bad person. I had just done something that had to be done.

               

                So after 5 years, everyone in our family was back to doing what they were used to.

                Johanna was back in charge at the research center.

                It took some time but my mother was back to talking to me after Madison’s death.

                Even at the funeral she barely looked at me but 2 years later she was at least saying my name. It was slow but it was going somewhere. She couldn’t blame me forever as Madison made her choice and I made mine. I wanted to be here in this world. I belonged here.

                McKenzie was engaged to Matt with a 2 year old named Jared already running around.

                Zoe was happy again with another man that she found at work. So he was smart and funny but more importantly he gave her a reason to be childless on the weekends.

                Me, I finally got my happy ending.

                I got Morgan in the end. He was my best friend and he wasn’t going anywhere and neither was I.

                But something we did decide on was waiting. We waited until the kids were old enough and all of us talked to them about me and Morgan.

                Ella picked it up and was happy but Dean was still a little confused about the situation until after a few weekends at the farm he was happy with me being around.

               

                I looked up from my laptop as Morgan brought someone down to me. “What are you doing?”

                “I heard him crying so I thought I would bring him down to you.”

                I leaned back as I took Jensen from Morgan, “Morgan, he is half asleep.”
