THURSDAY NOV 23

When I woke up this morning before I opened my eyes I felt my clothes and thought, Why do I have clothes on? Matthew and I always sleep naked. I opened my eyes to see a nurse sitting on the lounge chair and said, Is Matthew here? She said, no. I said, I can smell him. She said, anything else? I said, before I opened my eyes I could feel him. Do you know where he is? The nurse said, You are in the hospital because of your pregnancy and you lost Matthew at the beginning of summer. That woke me completely up and I realize where I was. Being fully awake now I said, thankyou. Today was Thanksgiving. She said, I will go tell your nurse you are awake. I smiled and she left. Scott came by and gave me a kiss in the morning. Several kisses and he didn’t want to leave. He said, he couldn’t stay because he was working for a guy so he could stay home with his family but was going to text me a lot. He said, he was really missing me. I told him I understood. He was looking really good so he must be spending a lot of time at the gym. Conner came by about an hour later. Stuck his head in the door and was looking around. I think he was checking for Scott before he came in. He stepped in and said, Happy Thanksgiving. It put a smile on my face. He came up to the bed and kissed my hand saying, How is my woman today? I responded with good. Really good. Conner said, I have the weekend off because no one is working on new projects until Monday so I thought I would spend more time with you. I smiled and said, that’s nice. Conner said, It is really nice out today. Maybe the doctor would let me take you outside in the wheel chair for awhile and you could eat at the table. I said, that would be great. I had a really good day. Outside it was 70 degrees with the sun shining. I had lunch outside and Mom brought the kids and a bunch of sweets for me. It was so great to hug the kids. Hunter was great and wanted to keep hugging me and saying mommy. I think she was telling everyone I was her mommy. I told her that her baby was going to be born soon and her babies named was Skylar. I put her hand on my stomach like before so she could feel the babies. She was so cute. Her eyes lit up when the babies moved. They were moving around a lot lately. I wondered if they were coming early. Scott kept texting how I was and I texted him about the great afternoon I had with Mom and the kids. When I went to sleep I felt really good. About an hour and a half later I woke half up. I felt I was sleeping with Matthew. I had my head on his shoulder with my arm on his chest. He had his arm around my waist. It was so real. I could feel the heat from his body and smell him. When I became fully awake I realized it was only a dream. I went back to sleep only to wake up an hour later with the same dream and the kids were moving around. I got the card off my table and called Dr. Walton and said, I am sorry to wake you but I keep having this dream. I think the kids can feel him also because they kept moving around. Dr Walton said, Maybe they are moving around and that is why you are having that dream. I said, you are most likely right. He asked if I was having any labor pains and I said, no. He said, he was going to have a nurse sit with me tonight to make sure I was ok and come check on me in the morning. A while later a nurse showed and said, she would be there for the night. She checked my chart, my temperature, blood pressure and monitor on the babies. She then said, everything looks good so try get some sleep.

Matthew woke up and he was starting to get his strength back. He was starting to feel rested. He had a bag hanging from his hand. He didn’t know what day or time it was. He ask a young monk who was sitting there how Jean was doing. The young monk said, he is stable. The doctor said he will need a lot of rest and care but should be fine. Matthew set up in his be bed and notice his feet and hands were wrapped. He was thinking frost bite. He wondered how bad. He ask the young monk if he could go to locker 38 and 39 to get his stuff he and Jean left there. Matthew said, I want to call and have someone pick us up. Matthew looked at his brands on his arms and thought they were healing nicely. The young monk went to the locker and returned with everything that was in it. Matthew text on his phone for someone to come get them. Asking for an extraction. He gave the young monk a card out of his wallet and said, have the doctor put any charges on it that is needed for Jean and him. He then handed him cash and said, I need the donkey well taken care of. It saved my life. Also, take good care of the baby goats. If you need more cash I will get it for you. The young monk said, I will do everything you have requested. Matthew felt a weakness coming on. Matthew said, I am going back to sleep now but wake me if you need something. He went back to sleep.

Chloe was sitting in front of her monitors in security at 11:00pm on Thanksgiving Day with her head phones on listening to some music. She was working on a plate with cheese, fruit, cake and pumpkin pie when a 5 inch scrolling red banner came across her screen with beeping noise. Her eyes got really big. She threw her headphones off and jumped up. She walked around her chair saying, oh my god. She woke a guy sleeping on the couch who said, what is it? She looked at the screen and it said, level 1 which is highly top secret and said, oh nothing. I though I won a bid on eBay. She set down quietly and took her phone calling Carlson. When Carlson answered she said, this is Chloe. I have a level one extraction request for two men who need medical and 4 baby goats. Carlson said, really. Chloe said, yes from northern China. Carlson said, thankyou and hung up. Carlson called 4 men and a helicopter pilot. He said, move out in 1/2 an hour and this is top secret level 1. The men always had their gear ready so they only need to grab a few things they wanted. Everyone said, ok. Carlson told everyone it was a long trip so bring a lot of snacks. At midnight 4 guys with all their gear, a pilot and a helicopter left the compound for a secret extraction to an airport to pick up a plane. Carlson called the airport and had them ready a plane that had medical equipment and other supplies in it.
