ANOTHER CHANCE
Chapter Eleven

"Pregnant?"

"Yeah, and I have it on good authority that it's a boy."

"I can't believe it!"

"And a girl."

"You mean I'm going to have twins? Jack, this is wonderful!" Her expression softened. "I wish that they could know their father."

"Rose, I'll be with you and them. Maybe not physically, but I will be there."

"Thank you, Jack."

"I'll be there. Don't worry."

"I won't. But I do have one question."

"Shoot."

"How come I'm not dying of grief over all this?"

"Because I'm here with you. You don't grieve for someone who's not gone."

"Thanks, Jack. Thank you for making me promise."

"You're welcome. And, Rose?"

"Yes?"

"I love you." And with that, he was gone.
