Summary: This is just a little fic about what could happen at the end of season 7.
A/N: This chapter may be the last for a couple days because I have finals in school, but Wednesday is my last day, so I will be able to get back to this then. And who knows? I may be able to update this before then. Thanks to all who have been reading and continue to read this.
(Matt's POV)
I have been sitting here for quite a while watching Lucy and Kevin. When Kevin walked back into the room, he sat down and they had been having a seemingly serious conversation since then. Simon was sitting by himself leafing through some random magazine because Cecilia had to leave. Both Roxanne and Chandler had left after Chandler answered a call on the pay phone. Dad had been gone for quite a while, probably with Mom or David. I glanced at my watch and noticed that it was 10 PM. I suddenly realized how hungry I was.
"Is anyone else hungry?" I asked.
"No," Simon replied.
Lucy and Kevin were apparently too engrossed in their conversation to notice me, so I shrugged my shoulders and headed to the cafeteria. When I stepped out of the room I bumped into a young woman.
"I'm sorry- Mary!? What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Oh Matt. I am so glad I found you. Where is everyone?" she questioned with a worried look on her face.
"They're in that waiting room and I believe I asked you a question," I told her.
"Well, I had a few days off so I flew down here to surprise everyone and when I got to the house no one was there. I checked the messages on my cell phone and I had received a weird one from Chandler. I called the number back and it was a pay phone at the hospital. He told me to come down here. I met him outside and he and that Roxanne woman directed me up here. They told me to let you know they went home. How is everyone?" she inquired, breathless from her long, hurried response.
"Oh. Well Mom, the twins, Ruthie and Peter were in a car accident. Mom is okay, but she has a concussion. Ruthie has whiplash and some broken ribs. Her friend Peter has a spinal cord injury. Don't know if he'll be okay. David has a broken arm and Sam. He died because of a severe head injury," I said, not wanting to look into Mary's pain-filled eyes.
"Oh. My. Well. I," she stuttered, speechless.
Her eyes got really big as the news sunk in. She grabbed my arm to steady herself and I led her into the waiting room, so she could sit down.
(Lucy's POV)
When Kevin walked back into the room, I decided to tell him everything. I signaled for Matt to leave us and he got up and moved away.
"Kevin," I started," I have something to tell you."
"What is it sweetheart?" he asked.
"Well," I sighed, " You know how everyone thought Matt's wife, Sarah, was pregnant?"
"Yes," he replied, confused.
"When I heard how she had been feeling, I thought about it and I was feeling the same way. I got really freaked out that I was pregnant, but I took a pregnancy test and it said I wasn't pregnant," I finished with a sob.
"Luce, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Kevin asked.
"I was afraid to. I mean, I'm not ready to have a child, but now that I'm not pregnant I feel really sad. Like I lost a child or something," I explained.
"You shouldn't have any need to be afraid. I wouldn't be mad. Did you tell anyone else?" he questioned.
"No, oh wait. I called Mary and told her I thought I might be pregnant. She convinced me to get a pregnancy test and then tell you," I told him.
"Well, I am glad that you did tell me. But you said you were feeling sick sort of. Maybe you are pregnant. Those home pregnancy tests aren't always correct. Especially if it's this early in the pregnancy," he told me.
"What are you getting at?" I asked.
"I'm just saying that since we are at the hospital, maybe you should get those test results confirmed. You don't even have to do it now, you can just set up an appointment for an exam," he said.
"No! The test said I wasn't pregnant. I don't want to have that kind of exam while part of my family is in the hospital," I exclaimed.
"Luce, calm down. I said you don't have to do it now. You should set up an appointment at any rate, you said it yourself that you were feeling sick. I know it would be uncomfortable, but that's why you do it through the hospital instead of your regular doctor. That way, if it turns out you aren't pregnant, your family will never know," he explained to me.
"Oh. I guess I can see your point," I said," but I still don't like it."
(Eric's POV)
It broke my heart to have to explain to David that he would never see Sam again. I don't know how much he understands it, but it was hard on Annie and me. I took Annie back to her room and got her settled. Then I went to see Ruthie.
"Ruthie?" I asked at her door," are you awake?"
"Yes," she said solemnly.
"Has anyone been to visit you?" I asked hoping she hadn't been alone.
"Yes," she replied. Another one word answer. She must know.
"And how are you feeling?" I asked.
"How do you think I'm feeling?!" she exploded.
"I'm sorry honey," I apologized, knowing how she felt. I asked a bad question.
"No, it's not your fault. I love you Daddy," she said in tears," I just don't know how to feel. I am sad and mad and scared all at once."
"I think that's how you're supposed to feel. I feel that way," I said giving her a careful hug so as not to hurt her ribs.
A/N: Coming Soon- How will Ruthie react when she gets to visit Peter? How is Annie handling all this?
