The rest of the day and month went by quickly for the Kinkirks as they took care of their new baby. July 14th began just like any normal day for them. Kevin left for work in the morning, and Lucy took care of the baby. Then, the phone rang. Lucy hurried over and answered, with the baby in her arms.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Hey Luce. It's Matt," Said her older brother's voice into the other end of the phone. His voice didn't sound normal. He sounded distressed.
"Hey Matt! Is something wrong?" Lucy asked worriedly.
"Yeah. Actually there is. The thing is.Sarah is in labor." He told her. Lucy gasped.
"But it's only July. She's two months early." Lucy said.
"I know. When she woke up this morning, her water broke." He told her.
"Wait. Where are you right now?" Lucy asked.
"At the hospital. Sarah wanted me to call you." Matt said. Lucy heard Sarah call for Matt.
"Oh. I have to go. Sarah needs me" He continued.
"OK. Call me later and tell me how it's going." Lucy told him.
" I will. Bye."
"Bye."
Lucy hung up the phone and looked down at her own baby, who was contentedly looking around the room through her big blue eyes. Lucy smiled. She looked around her apartment. 'What a mess!' She thought to herself. She put Melissa in her crib for a nap and cleaned up the room a bit. An hour later, Melissa awoke again, and cried out for her mother.
Lucy went and got her, and she decided to make some lunch. She made herself a sandwich and pulled out a bottle for Melissa. She sat down in her rocking chair and put Melissa in her lap, giving her the bottle. As she fed her, she ate her sandwich with her other hand. Suddenly, the phone rang, making Lucy jump. Melissa began to cry when her mother took the bottle away. Lucy took a minute to calm the baby down and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"It's Matt again." Said her brother.
"Matt! How are things going?" Lucy asked, concerned.
"Not that great." Matt informed her.
"What do you mean?" Lucy asked worriedly. "Is Sarah all right?"
"She's all right. It's the baby." He broke off.
"What about the baby? Is he okay?" She asked.
"Well," Matt began. "His heart beat is slowing rapidly. They think it's because of all the contractions. They're coming pretty fast. They're going to do a C-Section in a few minutes. I'll call you when that's over, okay?"
"Okay." Lucy managed to say as she hung up the phone.
Lucy put Melissa in her lap once more and continued to feed her milk from the bottle. She finished her sandwich and began to rock in the chair. She was worried about her soon-to-be-nephew and her sister-in-law and older brother. 'They'll be okay.' She told herself out loud. Melissa finished her bottle and began to look around once again.
The next half an hour seemed to take days as Lucy waited for news of her brother's family. Finally the phone rang and it was Matt. As Lucy answered, she heard the cry of a baby in the background.
"He's OK!" Matt told Lucy happily. She let out a sigh of relief.
"Bryan Matthew?" Lucy asked.
"Bryan Matthew." Matt confirmed. "I have a son!" He told her.
"How's Sarah?" Lucy asked him.
"She's fine. Great. She's tired though. She's really really happy. Oh, she wants me to tell you that she'll call you when she gets out of the hospital in a few days. She wants to come out to see you guys as soon as possible." Lucy laughed.
"OK Matt. Give her a hug for me."
"I will." He said.
"Congratulations." Lucy told her brother.
"Thanks" He said. "I have to go. Love you. Bye."
"Love you too. Bye." Lucy said, and she hung up the phone. She looked down at her baby in her arms.
"You have a cousin, Melissa." She told her and she smiled. "Bryan Matthew Camden."
