Angels_Chapter 10
Kevin ran up to Lucy, taking her hand, then turned to Matt, "the
pregnancy test we took last night, was negative, do you think something
else could be wrong?"
Matt and Mary's anger at Kevin subsided, as worry for Lucy took over.
"Do you guys have a thermometer up here?"
Kevin thought for a minute, "yeah, there should be one in the bathroom
cupboard."
Mary ran over to the bathroom, as Lucy started to protest, "guys, I'm
fine."
Kevin and Matt looked at each other, knowing that something was
defiantly wrong.
"Luce, how do you feel right now?"
Mary returned with the thermometer, and handed it to Matt.
"Okay, Luce, open your mouth and lift up your tongue."
"Matt, I'm not 2 years old, and I'm fine."
"Luce, maybe you should."
Lucy turned toward Kevin, who gently squeezed her hand.
Lucy rolled her eyes, becoming aware of just how sick she felt, "fine."
After a moment the thermometer beeped, Matt gently removed it from
Lucy's mouth. After glancing at the thermometer for a second Matt's
mouth dropped open, as he showed it to Kevin and Mary, whose faces
turned white.
"What?"
Kevin was the first to speak, "your temperature's 102. I'm taking you
to the hospital."
