Chapter 2
Lucy was in a whirlwind of emotions when she saw Kevin lying in the hospital bed. Worry, anxiety, she even felt a little bit of relief. Kevin looked somewhat peaceful, despite the large bandage on his head. He didn't seem to be in any pain. Lucy squeezed his hand tightly, and sighed. She was no longer in tears, but still very shocked.
"You can't die, Kevin," she whispered to him. "You just can't."
"He should be fine," reassured a doctor behind her.
"When will he wake up?" asked Lucy. The doctor paused.
"I'm not sure. No one ever is. Comas are quite unpredictable; it could be anywhere from a day to years." Lucy's jaw dropped.
"Years?" The doctor nodded. Lucy bit her lip and looked down. If she was pregnant, and Kevin..
No, she wouldn't think about that. Not now.
"Lucy!" exclaimed a voice behind her. Lucy looked up and saw that the doctor had gone, and Mary had just walked in. Lucy wasn't certain how much time had passed.
"Mary," sighed Lucy as they hugged.
"How are you?" asked Mary.
"I'm.. fine, I guess," answered Lucy, sitting back down. "What time is it?"
"Almost midnight," replied Mary. "Everyone's going home in a few minutes, but I can take you home later if you want." Lucy nodded.
"Thanks."
"Lucy," began Mary after a pause, "did you take the pregnancy test?" Lucy nodded slowly.
"Positive," she whispered.
"Oh Lucy," said Mary, putting her arm around her. "I'm sure everything will be fine."
"And what if it's not? The doctor said it could be years!" Tears began to well up in Lucy's eyes again. "He could finally wake up when were both old and gray, and by then, I could have Alzheimer's or something! And our kid could be a druggie! Wouldn't that be a perfect fairy-tale ending?"
"That's ridiculous. Why would your kid be a druggie?" asked Mary.
"I don't know," responded Lucy, wiping away a tear. "I was trying to make a point."
"Don't worry. He'll be fine."
"I hope so," sighed Lucy.
"Why don't," began Mary, as an idea came to her, "you tell him?"
"That I'm pregnant?" Mary nodded, and Lucy almost smiled. "Sure, maybe the shock of it all will wake him up." Mary shrugged.
"You never know," she said. Lucy was willing to try anything at that point, and she realized that telling Kevin while she was unconscious would be a lot easier than telling him when he is awake. So Lucy took his hand in hers, and leaned forward.
"Kevin, according to a pregnancy test, you're going to be a father. I'm pregnant."
His arm twitched, and both Mary and Lucy gasped. They stood still a moment, waiting for something else, but nothing happened.
"Did you see that?" asked Lucy, excitement in her voice.
"Yeah," said Mary.
And for the first time that night, Lucy was full of hope, and she smiled.
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter..again, but I got impatient. And I'd like to thank all of my reviewers, and everyone who gave me suggestions for titles. Thanks!
