This is set right after Lucy takes the pregnancy test; which results are
negative. I am also pretending that Mary and Wilson are still together,
even though I know that they aren't. I am pretending that they eloped and
didn't consider not doing it at all.

And now the story. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Luce?", Kevin asked.
Lucy and Kevin were up in the garage apartment. It was just 7:30 in the morning and they had just woken up. They were still in bed, but Lucy wasn't looking too good.
"I don't feel very good, Kev," Lucy said. She then ran to the bathroom and threw up.
"I know that the pregnancy test was negative, Luce. But this looks an awful lot like morning sickness to me. I am going to take you to the doctor's today so that we can know for sure that you aren't pregnant. Those tests aren't always accurate."
Lucy came out of the bathroom looking very pale. She climbed back into bed, just as Kevin was climbing out.
"Listen, honey. As much as I hate to leave you like this, I have the early shirt at work today. Once I get there, I will schedule an appointment with a gynecologist for a blood test. Then I'll call you and tell you the time of the appointment, and I will take you. I should be home by noon."
With this, Kevin got dressed and headed off to work. But before he left, he kissed Lucy and whispered 'I love you' in her ear.

As Kevin was driving to work, he called the gynecologist's office and scheduled an appointment for 12:30 that afternoon.
"You are lucky- that is the only appointment we have open for a week. And, it was only open because there was a cancellation," the secretary informed him.
"Thanks," Kevin replied. "Bye."
Kevin then dialed their number to tell Lucy.
"Hello?" Lucy asked. She was sounding a lot better.
"Luce? Hun? It's Kev. You're appointment is 12:20- today. I'll pick you up after work. But, I can't talk right now. I am at work now."
"Okay, you won't forget, will you?", Lucy asked, apparently concerned.
"No, I won't forget. I love you. See you at 12:15."
"I love you too. Bye!"
~~12 P.M. that afternoon~~
Kevin had just finished for the day and was driving home to pick up Lucy. When he arrived, she was waiting for him. She hopped in the car and they drove silently to the doctor's office.
When they arrived, Kevin asked, "Are you scared?"
"A little," Lucy responded. "If I am pregnant, then our lives are going to change forever. It's not that I don't WANT to have a baby with you, it's just that I don't think I'm not ready for that kind of responsibility."
"Well, we are about to find out if we are, I guess." Kevin took a deep breath, and they headed into the office.
They entered the waiting room. They checked in their names with the receptionist and sat down in the tacky vinyl waiting room chairs.
Five minutes later, a nurse appeared.
"Lucy Camden."
"That's me." Lucy replied.
"Do you want me to come with?", Kevin asked Lucy.
Lucy merely nodded her head, yes.
"Is it okay?", she questioned the nurse.
"No problem," was the nurse's reply.
The nurse, who had told the couple to call her Nancy, led them back to a large examining room.
"This might hurt a little," Nancy told Lucy, as she prepared to draw blood.
The needle pricked Lucy's upper arm, and she winced. The tube quickly filled with blood and the nurse sent it to the lab to be tested. She cleaned up Lucy's arm and told them that the results should be out in five to ten minutes.
So, they sat in the examining room, anxiously awaiting the results. After about eight minutes, a doctor entered the room.
"Lucy Kinkirk?"
"Yes?"
"I am Doctor Carlson. The results just got back from the lab."
"Am I pregnant?" Lucy asked.
"You---"
