I Stand Here Alone
Disclaimer- I own all my stories and this plot.
Summary- Lucy dies and Kevin needs to take care of what Lucy left behind, their daughter. Lucy dies during child birth. Kevin wishes he could change the past.
I lye here under the stars, just Lucy and I. I can't believe I'm almost a father, I know I'm going to be great at it. " Kevin." Lucy said softly. " Yeah." " Kevin promise me, just promise me, if anything happens to me during birth you will always take care of our daughter." Lucy told him and kissed him. " Lucy you wont die and don't say that." I told her and hugged her. " Well it could happen." Lucy told me. " Lucy, just calm down. I know nothing will go wrong." We went back and looked into the black/dark blue sky with yellow stars. Lucy and I started to walk into the house. We walked into our room and sat on the bed. I hugged her tightly, telling her that everything will be alright.
The next day, I woke up at 11:30, I don't have work today. Lucy was still sleeping. I went and took a shower while I have the time. In the shower, I was thinking how grateful I am to have a wife and child. When the baby is born, I will be very thrilled. They both mean the world to me. I got dried off and put my clothes on. I saw Lucy sitting on the couch, I went and joined her. " Hey." " Hi." She replied. Then I saw her wince " What's wrong?" " I think, I'm going to have the baby." She said happily. " Let's go to the hospital. I'll call your parents." I picked up the phone that sat on the counter in the kitchen, I dialed Annie's phone number, she answered " Hello?" " Hi mom, can you meet us at the hospital?" " Sure, but why?" " Lucy is going to have the baby, I have to go bye." I hung up the phone and we went to the car and drove off.
Annie heard a long beep on the phone. " Eric, kids, get down stairs in the kitchen. Grabbed your jackets also." Annie yelled. In a matter of seconds everyone came sprinting down the stairs into the kitchen. " We need to go to the hospital, now!" Annie yelled happily,. " Why?" They all asked. " Lucy is having her baby." Annie said. They called Matt and Mary to tell them. They said they will catch the next flight to Glen Oak. We all went to the car and started to drive to the hospital.
We parked the car. Lucy and I walked into the hospital. " Hi, my wife is in labor." I said out of breathe. The nurse put her in a wheel chair and we went to room 309. They doctors got her hooked up fast. I stood next to her the whole time. I just can't believe I am going to be a father. I know my dad would have been so proud of me.
Eric, Sam, David, Ruthie, Simon and I ran into the hospital. " We would like to know where Lucy Kinkirk's room is." I asked. " Are you family?" She asked. " Yes, I'm her mother, that's her father and these are her siblings." " She is in room 309." We all walked there. We emerged into the room and saw Lucy lying there. I went over to her and kissed her head. " Hi sweetie, how are you?" " I am good." " Can you guys go outside." He said talking about everyone besides Kevin. " Kevin, can I talk to you for a minute." " Sure." I told him and followed him. " Kevin." " Yes." " There is a 75 percent guarantee that Lucy will die during labor." " What?" Kevin said starting to cry. " Your wife might die during labor." " No, she isn't , I know she wont." I told him and walked back into the room with Lucy. I hugged her for dear life, knowing that today will be the last day I will ever see her alive. I don't want her to die. I would want to die for her instead. I love Lucy with all my heart. I don't understand why god is doing this to her. I hate him with all my passion right now. He is taking away my one true love I have in my life, besides my daughter. " Kevin, what's wrong?" Lucy asked. " I love you." I told her and had a tear fall down my cheek. " I know, I do too. What's wrong Kevin?" I hugged her and kissed her. " The doctor said, you, you have a 75 percent chance of dying." " No, please tell me your kidding. Kevin." She sobbed. " He told me that, I don't what you to die. You mean the world to me. You're the only woman I ever loved." I told her. " I should tell your family." She nodded and cried.
I walked into the waiting room where the family was. Mary and Matt were already there. I started to cry, I felt tears swell up into my eyes and fall onto my face. " What's wrong Kevin?" Annie asked. " Lucy." " What about her?" " Everyone I think you should sit down." Everyone sat. " The doctor told me she only has a 75 percent chance of dying." " What!" We all screamed " If you don't believe me go ask the doctor yourself." They all ran to the doctor and I went into Lucy's room to be with her. I might never see my dear Lucy again, until we meet in heaven again. I know after Lucy dies, if she does. I will never love or marry again. I just can't. I love Lucy and I will always love her. If I marry again, it means I don't love her. She looked up at me and smiled. " I love you." " I love you too." " Kevin, I knew something was going to happen." She sobbed into my chest. " Kevin promise me, you'll take care of our daughter Savannah we picked that name together." " I promise." I told her and cried too.
Three hours later, the doctor came in and said in 30 minutes until you are going to have your baby. I felt I wanted to punch him in his face. I hate god, I hate him so much! He is making my life miserable. How can he do this to me, my family and Lucy. How can he do it to her, Lucy is a Minster and wants her to die? That is real low, I want her to be safe. We talked for cried. This was going to be the last 30 minutes of our lives we would ever have again. I kept telling her how much I love her. " Kevin, I love you with all my heart. I wish I don't need to die." She told we in-between sniffles. " I know, me too." I said while stroking her back. " Kevin, since we only have 5 more minutes until I have to do this, I want to tell you, good bye." She kissed me long and passionate. " Lucy no, don't say that. You wont die, I know you wont. If you do I will want to say bye too." I told her. I'm becoming really sad and very angry right now.
The doctor walked in and sat on the chair in front of the bed. " Lucy, Kevin, it's time." He told us. " On the next contraction I want you to push." Lucy pushed hard with all she got. Lucy did two more like that and the baby was born. The baby started to cry. I went over and cut the cord. I took the baby and put her in her arms. " I smiled at her. " Good bye, Kevin. Just remember to take care of Savannah." " I promise. You wont die, your alive right now. " I smiled and cried. Then, the heart beat monitor went still. I screamed no! The doctors told me to leave the room. Then the doctor came out to me. " Kevin, I'm sorry, she's gone. She died of loss of blood. She also died because oxygen didn't go to the brain." I cried and bawled with all I got. I went back into the room and kissed her. I looked at savannah and I picked her up.
I went back into the waiting room. I took Savannah with me. I was crying, and looking at Savannah, the only thing I have left. Now that Lucy died, all I have is Savannah. Everyone looked at me wondering why I was crying. " Everyone, please sit," They all sat. " I am sorry to announce this, but Lucy has passed away." Kevin cried. " No!" Mary and the rest of the family yelled. We all sat there crying. I miss Lucy already, I want her to be here where she belongs.
