Chapter Thirteen: A Woman's Idea (Part Two)
Matt and Kevin were inches away from going inside the room, until they had a idea of standing to the side and listening to the women who had just started. Though they missed Lucy's side of Jennie's accident they had made it just in time to hear Lucy explain to Sarah about Mindy.
"Luce, what's wrong you seem pretty upset at Kevin, what did he do."
"You know why I had to have a talk with Josh, I was convincing him of forgiving his father." Lucy said with anger pouring out.
"Why is Josh mad at Kev?"
"Oh, well that is a long story and your on the clock so I don't know if you want to hear it." Lucy said with an anger filled smile.
"No its all right, I was on lunch anyway, I have an hour."
"Okay but hey remember you asked for it," after a long pause she slowly continued, "at work Kev got a phone call from his ex wife........." Lucy's expressions changed from anger to hurt and finally a mixture of the two while telling all the events of the last week.
"Why are men so stupid, really, I mean he could have avoided all of this by telling a story that really was no big of a deal, man he is stupid." While listening Lucy seemed to only nod in agreement, "so what are you going to do about it, I mean you aren't going to let him walk free but it is not a divorce or even separation matter as the idiot seems to think?"
"Yeah I have been thinking about that, I think I'll just scare him. You know exaggerate it into a big deal, make him beg, and believe I'm really over with him before stopping all this."
"Hey you could get some jewelry out of this!" exclaimed Sarah.
"No, I mean I can but he bought me the earrings I wanted before all this so you know what else can I get?"
"Wait I just thought, what about Josh, he really thinks this is a big deal, when your torturing Kevin, he thinks its real."
"Oh my god! your right, after all this I can not have any fun with the idiot. Man I am unlucky. Forget plans I have to forgive him so Josh can do the same. Oh damn it that is not fair, after all this, god, I hate men."
"Well you know what that just isn't fair. You will be able to have fun with him, not for long but hey it is something. Josh can spend the night over at my house, I will take him to school and you can have Kev all alone at home." Sarah told Lucy with a smile. "That would be wonderful but he has school tomorrow and he has to come home and change and his stuff, it won't work"
"Oh come on they go to the same school and where the same size and I will stop by and get his stuff in the morning, I will drop them off. And even if your not going to get Kevin back you will still need to talk to him, it can't go on ignored." Sarah pleaded because she could really tell how much Lucy had wanted this.
"Your right, I deserve to have fun," Lucy was ecstatic, "Plus I can yell louder since Jen won't be home either."
The girls continued to talk to finalize the plan they thought would be so clever as Matt and Kevin stood outside in astonishment. Finally once the girls were done, Kevin and Matt walked away to talk about what they had just heard, "so, what should I do know?" Kevin asked.
"Simple you play along, make her think you know nothing because as we saw Luce really wants to have fun with you. Plus I think my wife would kill you if you ruined her plan. She's evil, she'll do is so be scared."
"Are you sure that is a good idea, this all started because I lied and pretending I knew nothing would also be a lie." Kevin asked not wanting to make the same mistake twice.
"Oh shut up, it is not a lie, your just stopping a fight from starting, it is to her benefit, not yours right."
"Sorry, but that sounds all to familiar to me I am going to tell her I ...." Kevin tried to finish but was interrupted.
"What that you were listening in on what she said, smart." Matt laughed at his brother in law's still very naive mind.
"No that is where you come in, I will tell her you heard and then you told me. It will do you no harm trust me I know Lucy she can never be mad at you, she adores you."
"Fine but if she tells Sarah your dead, I am not in the mood for 10 hour apologizes."
"Fine, now can we go see my daughter, I know she would want to see me."
"Sure, come on she should be up with all the talking those two did." replied Matt as the two of them headed down the hallway yet again to see a wide awake Jennie.
Jennie who just a few months ago had learned to say Mommy and Daddy was struggling to get her words out, and though Sarah understood nothing of what was being said by the one year old, Lucy smiled and took in Jennie's mumbles and replied her daughter, "I know it hurts sweety, I am so sorry. How about tomorrow when you get out, you and I go to the zoo if your not tired" The little girl nodded and quickly added her father and Joshie as she called him onto the mixture.
"Well if you want those two sweetie you're gonna have to want until the weekend for Josh to be out of school and your daddy home."
Jennie seemed disappointed but quickly let out a scream of joy when she saw her dad and uncle come in with what seemed like the entire gift shop. Kevin placed the things into Matt's already over filled hands and grabbed a hold of his daughter. Kissing her quickly he soon sat on the bed next to her and continued a conversation they had started seconds earlier. Stopping only to say hello to Sarah and give an apologetic glance over to Lucy who had been sitting quietly staring at the father and daughter. After about 5 minutes Matt and Sarah realized it was a family moment and went in search of Josh knowing he to would want to see his sister. Josh was not to be worried about in the hospital, after all he spent most summers there with some kind of broken bone he had received playing. He knew all the guards, doctors, and nurses and they all knew him. ***Review in order for me to update sooner***
