A Tale Of 8 Kinkirks

Chapter 14

A/N- It is February 22 (two weeks later). Mary is surprisingly still pregnant and was due two days ago. Lucy is due in two days. Kevin and Lucy are in bed. It is 10:00 A.M.

"Good morning, honey," Kevin smiled as Lucy woke up. "Good morning," she said. "Can you believe it? Two days..." Kevin patted her enormous mountain of a stomach. "I know. It's seems like just yesterday I...Ooooooh!" she winced. "What? What is it? Are you okay?" Kevin sat up. "No- I think my water broke... actually, I know it did!" she said as she felt the wet spot forming under her. "Here- I'm going to take you to the hospital," he said, getting up and beginning to get dressed. "I'll get my bag," Lucy began to get out of bed, but she couldn't. "Ohhh!" she moaned. "No." Kevin commanded. "You stay lying down. I'll get ready." He finished getting dressed, grabbed Lucy's bag, and picked Lucy up. "Let's go!" he said.

The ride to the hospital was very long and painful. When they finally got there, Kevin checked her in and a nurse came over with a wheelchair. Lucy (slowly) sat down and was on her way to her room. After she had her gown on, Matt came in. "Good morning, Kinkirks," he greeted. "Easy for you to say," Lucy said. "I'm going to check you," he told her. "You're only about two centimeters dilated," he said after he did. "Have you called mom and dad yet?" "I was about to," Kevin left.

"She is? We'll be right over!" Annie hung up and yelled, "Eric! Simon! Ruthie! Kevin just called. Lucy's in labor. We should go over to the hospital." Immediately all three of them came running down the stairs, followed by Sam and David. "What's going on?" David asked. "Lucy's going to have her babies!" Annie explained. "That's good. Her tummy looks like it's about to explode!" Sam said. "Let's go!" Eric said loudly.

"Hey- Ben- it's me- Kev. Lucy's in labor," Kevin said. "Really? We'll go over," Ben told his brother over the phone. "OK. See ya," Kevin hung up. "Hey Mare- Lucy's in labor," Ben said, gently shaking Mary's shoulder to wake her up. "Huh?" Mary asked, still groggy. "We have to go to the hospital. Lucy's in labor," he said again. "My little sister's going to have kids before me!" Mary said smiling. "Give me a few minutes."
