Chapter 2
Eric was sitting in the waiting room at the hospital. The same hospital Kitty was a nurse at.
"Thank god mom's a nurse," thought Eric. He didn't know what he would of done if his mom didn't take charge. Thankfully Red was going to be fine. But Eric couldn't help but worry. He couldn't picture his dad gone. He had always been such a strong presence, and since Red gave him and Donna his blessing, he had new respect for Red. He was hoping it was the start of an adult relationship with his dad.
Donna sat back down in her chair next to Eric's, she had just called her dad and Joanne, to tell them the news. The chairs Donna and Eric were sitting in faced the room red was staying in. Kitty was in there; she had not left his side since they got there. Fez, was sitting in the chairs next to theirs, with his elbows on his knees, chewing his nails, he was thinking. Eric and Donna were clasping hands, they hadn't said much to one another in the past couple hours.
Laurie came out of Red's room, you could tell she had been crying. Her eyes were red and her cheeks tear stained. As she walked towards them Fez stood up. She couldn't look at him.
"I'm going to the cafeteria, anyone want anything?" she asked the other three.
"I'll go with you" Fez offered. Laurie shook her head and looked at Donna.
"I'll go" Donna said and then looked at Eric, making sure it was okay if she left him, even for a short period of time. He nodded. She stood up, still clasping Eric's hand, they looked at each other for a moment and then let go.
Laurie and Donna walked to the elevator in silence. They were the only ones on the elevator. Laurie leaned on the back wall, Donna pressed the first floor button and then joined Laurie. The doors closed and Laurie burst into tears.
Donna rubbed Laurie's back and asked her if she was okay.
"It's all my fault!" sobbed Lauie. "I almost killed Daddy."
"No, it's Not you're fault" Donna began.
"I thought he would be happy I was helping another person, but instead he just looked at me, with those eyes, and then almost died! When I went to visit him just now he didn't say but two words too me, and when I apologized and begged for his forgiveness, he didn't even acknowledge me, and mom completely ignored me. I couldn't stand the silence anymore, I had to get out."
Donna saw Laurie in a way she hadn't before. Laurie was actually trying to help another person. Maybe she wasn't as wicked as they all had thought. Donna didn't even grasp the idea before, that soon they would be sisters.
"He's been under a lot of stress lately, with Eric and I, and not really eating to well either, it was bound to happen sooner or later, it wasn't you." Donna said.
Laurie looked at Donna. "You really think so?" she asked. Donna nodded. "Well, how can I fix what I did? I mean, I know what I have to do. I have to divorce Fez, but, (I can't believe I'm saying this) that would just break his heart. He wants to be in this country so much. When he and I were talking in Kelso's van, he was telling me about when he goes back to wherever he's from, it'll be hell, and at least here he has a chance to really do something with his life. I wanted to be able to help someone for once, I mean, it doesn't mean anything, it's just a signed piece of paper.
Donna couldn't believe what she was hearing; Laurie just kept on amazing her. "We'll get some coffee, sit down, and I'll help you figure this out."
Laurie nodded. "Thanks Donna" she smiled at her.
The elevator finally reached the first floor and the doors opened.
