Eppy #10 Angels
Hospital – Lucy and the twins running into Lorena's room
Lucy: Where is the doctor? What is going on?
*The Doctor turns around at the sound of Lucy's voice from his position at Lorena's bedside.
Doctor: *in sad hesitant voice* I don't know what how to say this but I need you to talk with her husband about pulling the plug
Lucy: *very pale* Is it really over?
Doctor: Her heartbeat is just getting slower and slower. There isn't much we can do now except maybe praying for miracle.
* Kevin runs in just like Lucy and the twins did couple minutes ago
Kevin: *in breathy voice because he ran all way to the hospital* Is everything alright?
Doctor: *giving sad smile*We have done everything we can for Lorena but its done. Please talk to your wife and make a quick decision on when you want to let Lorena go. Sometimes it is the best not to let a love ones suffer so much.
*Doctor walk out
*Lucy walks to Lorena and with motherly touch storks Lorena's cheek*
Lucy: *crying* I can't give you up. You are part of my life. Oh I wish I can trade spot with you. You don't deserve this my baby. Mommy loves you so much and she is sorry for everything. *turning toward the ceiling* Why God? Why my child? Why not me?
*Kevin not knowing what to say, hesitantly goes to Lucy and hugs her
*Lucy receives the hug and cries harder
*Kevin strokes Lucy hair
Kevin: *trying to comfort Lucy* She will be home with God. The best place to be. We are going to miss her but our love for her won't die. I promise everything will work out.
*Lucy gently pulls away from Kevin and faces toward Mercy and Mark
Lucy: *still crying* Mercy and Mark I have something to tell you.
*Lucy turns to Kevin and silently asks for moral support. Kevin sensing his wife's trouble reaches for hand and softly squeezes and holds on to her hands.
Kevin: *trying to keep his tears back* Your sister will be no longer with us.
Mercy: *looking very sad* Why?
Mark: *looks scared* My fault?
Lucy: *giving Mark a hug* No it isn't your fault. God wants your sister to be an angel to look over you.
Kevin: *let goes of Lucy's hands and pulls Mercy, Mark, and Lucy to him* Your sister was a beautiful girl and now she can be a beautiful angel.
Mercy: *slightly smiling* I love angels. *turning to Lorena* My angel.
*Kevin once more reaches out for Lucy's hand and holds on*
Kevin: *turning to Lucy* Sweetie, when is the right time?
Lucy: *closing her eyes and taking a deep breath* I want to keep her through Christmas and New Years to spend one more holiday with her.
Kevin: *slightly nodding his head* We need to tell Annie and Eric.
Lucy: *pulls her hands out of Kevin's grip and walks to the door* I will go call. I need fresh air and time to think.
Kevin: *nods his head and gives Lucy a hug* I will stay here with the kids.
*Lucy leaves
*Kevin gives a sad sigh and turns his attention to Lorena.
Kevin: *looks at Lorena with sadness and love* It will be hard to let you go but I don't want you to suffer. I love you baby.
Mercy: *whispering to Kevin* Daddy, how can I help Mark?
*Mark is in the corner*
Kevin: *looks at Mark who is white as a ghost* Just hug him and tell him everything will be ok.
*Mercy goes over to Mark and gives him a hug
Outside in the hall
*Lucy on the payphone
Lucy: Mom?
Annie: How are you? How is Lorena?
Lucy: Please come because you need to say good bye.
Annie: *starts to cry* We are losing her?
Lucy: Doctor says there is nothing more left.
Annie: We will come out soon.
*They both hang up the phone
Lucy: *looking drained, slumps down and squeaks weakly* Help.
*Kevin steps out of door, looking for Lucy. He spots her couple of doors down.*
Kevin: Lucy, come quick!
Up next: What happened? Is it over? How will the family cope with this? Maybe a spark of reconciliation between Kevin and Lucy…*wink*…
