Annie- Lucy?
Kevin- yup, shes driving me nuts!
Annie- sure, come on over
Kevin- Thank you
Annie- your welcome
Kevin hung up the phone and started to drive to the Camdens.
~~Kevins P.O.V~~
Kevin- Its Friday night, I should be working. But No Lucy is 30 weeks pregnant. I need to care for her. She wants to drop out of school. Wants me to be her slave. Every night she wants Ice cream. But yet she wont buy any for her self. I can wait till this is over. Although I'm happy to be a dad in less than a month. I don't like the side affects she has in pregnancy. She has contractions almost everyday know. Were having a girl, although I wanted a boy. Im happy with a girl. I should get some money out from my savings account and put it in the checking account. That way that I know well be set, and the way she likes to shop and spend money is outrageous. Oh look the camdens. I really like these people. There soo nice to me. They fed me 3 meals a day plus snacks while I lived under their roof.
Ruthie- hey why you here?

Annie- it wont be long
Matt- Just be thankful she isn't having twins. Ma over here, wasn't s pleasant at the end Of her pregnancy

Matt- what?
Eric- well, how far
Annie- well
Matt- umm, well, if my calculations are correct about 1 month
Sarah- one month. He's right
Kevin- wow.
Eric- wow
Ruthie- ok, I know I wasn't supposed to be snooping but I was coming down for a drink when Sarah said she went to the doctor to confirm her pregnancy.
Sarah- well you don't hear wrong
Ruthie- so you're pregnant
Peter- whats taking to so long?
Ruthie- Sarah's pregnant
Peter- ohh cool, congratulations
Sarah- thank you.
Matt- I'm going to bed, I'm really tired
(Phone is ringing)
Matt- Ill gets that
Matt- hello
Lucy- MY WATER BROKE, AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE MY HUSBAND IS!
Matt- calm down Lucy, hes over here
Lucy- MAYBE YOU DIDN'T HERE ME CORRECTLY THEN
Matt- no I did. Kevin will be there in 10 minutes so just hang on ok
Lucy- ok, but hurry up. I'm having a lot of pains.
Matt- ok bye (hangs up the phone)
Sarah- what's wrong?
Matt- Kevin, hurry up and go home bring Lucy to the hospital her water broke.
Kevin- ok,
Annie- is she ok
Matt- she was crying in pain
They went to the hospital. Everybody was there in the Camden family. Patty-Mary Kevin's sister, and his mom were going to get a fly out to Glenoak that night. Ben was already in Glen oak to teach a rescue dog for the fire department.
Kevin- umm, how much longer do you think until she deliveres
Nurse- well, lets check,
The nurse checked to see how far Lucy was, she was only 3 ½ centimeters along.
Nurse- well, Ill say about 16 hours till.
Lucy- is there any way to hurry this thing up?
Nurse- not at the moment, but you is at a point to have an epidural if you'd like one.
Kevin- does she need it
Nurse- only if she wants one, ill let you to talk about it for a few minutes, ill be back in 15 minutes ok.
Kevin- ok
Kevin- what exactly is an epidural?
Matt- it's for pain, it numbs the lower part of her body,
Lucy- does it hurt
Sarah- it probably wills for a minute, that's it
Kevin- well
Lucy- go get my mom please I want to talk to her alone if you don't mind
Matt- sure no problem
They all left Lucy's room, and Annie came in, she sat down for a minute and helped Lucy decide if she wanted an epidural or not. They decide she should have one to get rid of the pain. Annie was the only one in the room when they gave her the epidural. After 30 minutes, Lucy felt tremendous results and was feeling so much better, with pain free. She was now looking forward to seeing people while she waits and delivers the baby.
Doctor- hi My name is Doctor O`Grady, you must be Kevin
Kevin- yes, Ive missed you every time I could come and you went here.
Lucy- that's because you refused to come half of the time
Kevin- I had to work, im sorry
Doctor- how you doing Lucy?
Lucy- a lot better since that epidural.
Doctor- good, everything looks fine, good, you should be able to deliver in about 15 Hours.
Eric- that's a long time to be waiting
Doctor- ya it seems long, wait till its here, it won't seem long anymore.
Ruthie- well, we can just sit and wait
Doctor- yes, Lucy or anyone, have any questions for me?
Lucy- No im good
Doctor- ok see you in a few hours then,
After the doctor left everybody stayed in Lucy's room. It was a long restless night for everybody. Already almost 2:30 in the morning. Patty- Mary and Kevin's Mom were finally here. They got to the hospital at about 12:30am. The twins were getting restless so they took a nap. Ruthie and peter went to walk down by the Nursery to see the babies. They also went to the cafeteria to get some food. Everybody else had gotten coffee and a little snack from a vending machine. Lucy still felt some contractions but not as much. At about 5:30 am Lucy was dilated to about 7 ½ centimeters. The nurse told her to get up and walk around a bit to hurry up the delivery if she wanted. So she did. She walked around the hallway 3 times. She felt pressure so she decided to stop. When the nurse checked her again at about 10:30 am she was completely dilated to 10.
Doctor- you're fully dilated to 10
Lucy- ya, about time
Nurse- here you go doctor.
Doctor- ok, besides your Husband Kevin you can have 3-4 people in here with you. And you got 13 people. Ill be back in about 5 10 minutes.
The doctor came back about 5 minutes later.
Doctor- ok, we will have to move you into the delivery room, ok
Lucy- ok
Doctor- did you decide whose going to be in the room with you yet or do you need more time.
Lucy- no, I got it, it's going to be my mom, brother, sister and, my dad
Nurse- is any of them under 16?
Lucy- no
They moved her to the delivery room, and about 1 hour later they had a baby girl. Although the baby was having a hard time breathing on its on. That's why it was premature.
Lucy- is it healthy? Why ant it crying?
Doctor- here, (to the nurse's) it needs oxygen
Nurse- ok, anything else
Doctor- it needs ICU right away, its lungs aren't fully developed yet, and the brain may have complications.
Nurse- on it doctor
Lucy- is everything ok with my baby?
Doctor- I wont lie to you, no
Annie- well what's wrong with it?
Matt- will it be ok
Doctor- well, the brain may have complications, and the lungs aren't fully developed witch is stopping it from breathing. Were keeping it in ICU probably for 2 months. Or until some major improvements
Lucy- would that be why it came early?
Doctor- no, something in the uterus may have been infected. It could have been getting restless in there. We don't know exactly.
Kevin- but, besides all that, it will be ok right?
Doctor- were hoping. She is at ICU right now; in about 1hour hour in a half you can see her.
Lucy- ok, thank you
With that the doctor left. Lucy was in tears and practically her whole family. They moved Lucy to her original room where the rest of the family awaits. Lucy didn't have the heart to tell them about her daughter, neither did Kevin. No one really did. So Matt had volunteered to do it. He started speaking. Everybody had looks on their faces like were the baby. After Lucy and Kevin heard it again what had happened to their first baby, they started to cry again. Kevin not as much. He was hurt, but didn't show much of it, in front of the family. Roxanne and chandler were also there. They got back to the hospital about 2 hours before Lucy delivered. They had taken the twins home as well as Ruthie and peter for some sleep. They gave a quick hello, and then everybody left Kevin and Lucy in there.
Lucy- are first baby, are first baby, how could that have happened?
Kevin- I don't know hunny. But all we can do is just pray, pray that shell be ok. Ok?
Lucy- easy for you to say, you didn't carry her under your heart for 7 ½ months.
Kevin- no, I didn't, but it doesn't mean that I don't love her as much as I do you.
Lucy- I know, I just wish it didn't happen?
Kevin- we all wish it didn't happen and yet it did. (they were both silent for while it seemed like, but it was only about 5 minutes.)
Kevin- I love you Lucy Camden! And just because are baby girl is in ICU doesn't mean she's going to die. And I know that's what your thinking.
Lucy- ok, but first, I like Lucy Kinkirk better.
Kevin- you want me calling you that again?
Lucy- ya, (Lucy got mad at him during her pregnancy and told him to call her Lucy Camden,)
Kevin- ok, Lucy Kinkirk. I love you!
Lucy- and second, I love you too.
Kevin- I know you do
Lucy- and I want to apologize,
Kevin- for what?
Lucy- well, my being pregnant, put a lot of stress on you. And I wasn't very nice to you at all. Kevin- your for given.
Lucy and Kevin heard a knock on the door. They didn't think it was the doctors so they said come in. They were thinking of it to be a family member, but were surprised to see it was the doctor.
Doctor- ok, I was doing some checks on the baby, and we did come across another problem.
Lucy- (almost in tears again) what complication
Doctor- promise me you wont cry until I leave please
Lucy- ok
Doctor- well, the baby has heart problems. It may need a heart transplant if she doesn't get better.
Kevin- heart transplant. Why
Doctor- well, we think there's no blood going through to her heart, it may be shut down. Were keeping a closer eye on her today and for a few weeks. Ill let you know more later on as the day goes when I learn more of what's going on ok.
Lucy- (in tears) ok.
Doctor- ok
Lucy was in tears. She wasn't expecting that type of news.
Nurse- Lucy, is there anything I could get you?
Lucy- ya, a heathly baby
Nurse- everything will be fine. We have had a lot of cases like this. The most that will happen, she'll have open heart surgery to give her a new heart, after that shell probably start breathing on her own.
Kevin- you really think that's what she needs, a new heart?
Nurse- although the doctor doesn't think so, I do. He wants to find a different problem not as bad as that. He hates seeing moms and dads, and their family` cry. And he really doesn't like seeing UN healthy babies. But I personally believe she needs a heart
Lucy- when will we know for sure?
Nurse- later on today,
Lucy- when will my family and I be able to see the baby?
Nurse- well, she has a lot of IV`s hooked up to her, food, blatter, oxygen, and some to keep he alive. Others to monitor her. Heart, pulse.
Lucy- wow, that's a lot for a tiny baby.
Nurse- ya, and I will let you see the baby in about an hour, or 2, were still helping her get stabilized. Family, and friends, its up to you. It probably wont be best to have young children see her.
Lucy- how about my 13 year old sister?
Nurse- again, its up to you, it might not be best, at least not today or for a little bit yet. She may loose her thought of having kids herself. We don't want to threaten anybody when they see those ivs hooked up to her. You know what I mean Kevin- ya, we do.
Nurse- you really want to see the baby?
Lucy- ya,
Nurse- ok, but first, you need to calm down your self. If you take a long walk around the hospital, and you can even go outside, for about an hour, Ill let you see the baby. Ok
Lucy- ok, deal, but my family too
Nurse- yes, your family can to. But you may want to see her first. And you and Kevin will be the only ones allowed in their at the moment. The rest will have to watch outside the window ok.
Lucy- ok
Nurse- ill get you a wheel chair.
Lucy- Thank you.
The nurse left, and Kevin went to tell all the people waiting to comfort them that they were going on walk.
Annie- hey sweetie, hows it going?
Lucy- fine. She has a heart problem too. The doctor thinks shell need a heart transplant.
Annie- its ok, don't worry Lucy- the nurse said if im calm and go on a walk for an hour around the hospital or outside, when I come back ill be able to see the baby.
Annie- just you or everybody?
Lucy- everybody, except Ruthie and the twins. The twins defiantly cant see her, and
Ruthie, I don't think she should. The nurse said she had a lot of ivs hooked up to her right now.
Annie- well, do what's best. I'm sure she'll understand.
Lucy- come with me on are walk. I want everybody to
Annie- ok, we will.
Mary- he how's it going
Lucy- fine. Were going on walk, hope you have walking shoes on.
Mary- ya, I do
Lucy- good,
Nurse- here you go Lucy, remember one hour at least ok
Lucy- ok.
Kevin- Ready?
Lucy- ya, guess so.
They went around the hospital and outside walking around. They saw a bench by a water fall, and decided to sit down on it. Lucy was starting to get uncomfortable sitting in the wheel chair.
Ruthie- so what's the baby name?
Lucy- I don't know, I didn't really decide it yet. I didn't think I was going to until I was at the end of 8 months.
Ruthie- don't you have any names that you like?
Simon- there has to be something you like
Mary- or you can name her after me
Lucy- I haven't decided
Simon- well, your gonna have to soon, mean the baby ant going to be a no namer. But im sure you`ll think of something.
Matt- when we were kids, I can remember you said, " I want to name my first baby girl Lillian Marie and your first boy Nathan"
Mary- I remember that too,
Lucy- it is a pretty name.
Simon- I remember that too. You were going through some type of boy phase
(They all laugh)
Lucy- do you think it's a cute name Kevin?
Kevin- ya, but it doesn't matter to me what we call her.
Sara- it's a good name Lucy, you should and I think everybody here agrees with me
Annie- I know I do.
Ruthie- you should, when you're a child usually you wont do things the same as an adult. But when you pick a babies name as a child, usually you keep the name. It sticks in your head.
Lucy- it's always stuck in my head, probably my first choice, but I didn't know what Kevin would think of it.
Kevin- it don't matter to me
Ruthie- im so much younger than you, I really don't remember anything from your childhood. But I think it's a go.
Mary- I remember something
Lucy- what?
When mom and dad were trying to pick out names for Sam and David. They couldn't agree
Matt- oh yeah, you said you wouldn't let the guy you marry help pick out names, it was Up to you, and you only
Simon- I remember that too. We all laughed at you. And you said it more than once, even when they were in the deliveries room, dad wanted Nathan but mom wanted Sam.
Lucy- Ya I remember that too. It's funny how much you remember stuff.
Eric- so what do you say Luce, Even Kevin thinks it's a cute name.
Lucy- (laughing) I think it's a yes.
Sarah- we have been out here for an hour and 15 minutes. You want to go see that baby now?
Lucy- ya, come on
They all got up and started to head back to the hospital. They made their way upstairs. But before they went to her room, they stopped at the ICU for the babies. Ruthie took Sam and David over to the waiting area. Lucy didn't think they were ready for what was coming.
Nurse- how was your walk?
Lucy- good, calming
Nurse- good, ok Kevin come in there you go Lucy
Lucy- thank you
Nurse- the rest of you will have to wait outside this window ok
Lucy- were is she
Nurse- first you guys need to put these on (she handed them scrub jackets and mask)
Lucy- o, ok
Nurse- over here.
Lucy had tears in her eyes when she saw her. There were not many babies in there, but hers looked the worst. It had soo much Ivs in the body and looked horrible.
Nurse- when you're done, you can bring it over to the window for your family to see her
Lucy- ok, she's so tiny
Nurse- yes, did you get a name for her yet?
Kevin- ya, I think she decided on Lillian Marie kinkirk.
Lucy- I did.
Nurse- that's a pretty name.
Lucy brought the baby over to the window. She couldn't pick her up so they pushed her over there. Lucy was in tears sobbing. She couldn't stand seeing her first baby like that. So, she took off her scrub jacket and mask and left to go back to her room. Sarah insisted she wanted to talk to Lucy alone. They let her and continued to have teary eyes as well. Sarah caught up with Lucy not long after she left. They walked to her room together and she sat on the bed crying.
Sarah- its ok, shell be ok Lucy don't worry
Lucy- none knows for sure, I just couldn't be they're looking at her like that.
Sarah- its ok, I understand, if that ever happened to my baby when its born I would be devastated too.
Lucy- ya, but your not,
Lucy- your pregnant aren't you?
Sarah- only 1 month
Lucy- congratulations.
Sarah- I guess so,
Lucy- but, how do you know how it feels.
Sarah- you really want to know?
Lucy- ya,
Sarah- well, before you got married, matt and I thought we were pregnant.
Lucy- but turned out you weren't I heard
Sarah- ya, but I was. For 4 months. Then I had a miscarriage. Your family found out before I took a pregnancy test, then when I did it proved it It got confirmed, But we didn't really want to tell the family yet, because we were busy. And the night we planned to, I got rushed to the hospital. They performed surgery to take out the baby I had lost.
Lucy- what happened to it.
Sarah- Heart problems. It couldn't breath right, same thing that's happening to yours. My water did break, I couldn't move without hurting so Matt called 911 and rushed me to the hospital. I got there in time, but to late.
Lucy- how in time, but to late?
Sarah- Well,
(There was a knock on the door)
Eric- are you ok
Lucy- ya, but if you don't mind Sarah's trying to tell me something in private,
Eric- no problem
Sarah- anyways
Lucy- so
Sarah-well, seeing the it happened early on in my pregnancy there was no way for it to live, they gave me 1 week for the baby, plus they gave me 30 days to live if the baby lived. After about 42 hours of being on ivs to monitor the baby and me, it died inside of me. Later on that night. They took it out. We thought they didn't know we were pregnant to begin with, so why tell them.
Lucy- I didn't know, I'm so sorry
Sarah- Its ok, and when I told Matt today I was pregnant, he became teary eyed. Actually yesterday.
Lucy- he doesn't want one
Sarah- that's what he told me, he said he was afraid to get me pregnant again. But it happened. And I have total faith in this one.
Lucy- I feel so bad, but at least I know I have you know, and someone who can relate to me. Cause I don't think anybody out there does.
Sarah-probably not, and that's why we kept it a secret, but I thought you should know.
Lucy- wow, thank you, maybe I have hope after all, at least she didn't die
Sarah- exactly so go see your baby, tears or no tears, don't leave she's going to need you by her side,
Lucy- wow, you just gave me a reason to believe everything will be ok, and how much I don't want to believe it, I do. Thank you
Sarah- you're welcome, but go now
Lucy- come with me
Sarah- ok come on
They walked down to the ICU for babies, but on there way was the waiting room. They stopped to tell them were they were going. Lucy told them she and Sarah were going to the ICU alone, She had hopes to believe the baby will be ok. Matt stopped Sarah and asked if her could talk to her,
Sarah- Lucy, Ill meet you there ok
Lucy- ok
Kevin- hey Luce,
Lucy- oh hey Kev,
Kevin- why do you seem so happy now?
Lucy- because, I have hopes.
Kevin- what did you and Sarah talk about?
Lucy- nothing
Kevin- ok,
Lucy- do me a favor go home and sleep, and tell everybody else that too. Please
Kevin- ok,
Lucy- thanks you, but after you sleep, come back ok,
Kevin- ok, I love you
Lucy- I love you too (they kiss)
Kevin walked off heading back to the waiting room, and told everybody Lucy wishes for everybody to go home and get some sleep
~~*~~ Matt and Sarah~~*~~
Sarah- what's wrong?
Matt- you told her
Sarah- she needed to know, and promises not to tell anyone ok
Matt- ok,
Sarah- you need to have hopes, all is babies we make aren't going to die.
Matt- you're right, ok, fine, after you see the baby want to go home, I'm really tired.
Sarah- ya, that's sounds great. But I promised my mother I would come see her today.
Matt- ok, after we sleep please.
Sarah- no problem
~~*~~ ICU~~*~~
Nurse- Back
Lucy- ya, I'm waiting for my sister-in-law. She gave me hopes
Nurse- good, you're going to need hopes. But shell be ok
Sarah- hey, she's so tiny.
Lucy- did, you see yours when they got it out of you.
Sarah- ya, for a few minutes, not long
Lucy- what she looks like
Sarah- you could see right through her practically.
Lucy- wow
Sarah- but at least she's safe in heaven in peace
Lucy- you think my family could have heart problem hats heredity.
Sarah- possibly, Mean mine died from heart problems, yours in ICU you from heart problems.
Nurse- I couldn't help to over hear, but does your family have a heart problem
Lucy- I don't think so why?
Nurse- well, from what I heard, it sounds like it.
Lucy- don't say anything from what you heard ok, I'm tired im going to sleep.
Nurse- ok, no problem.

They went to the hospital. Everybody was there in the Camden family. Patty-Mary Kevin's sister, and his mom were going to get a fly out to Glenoak that night. Ben was already in Glen oak to teach a rescue dog for the fire department.

The nurse checked to see how far Lucy was, she was only 3 ½ centimeters along.

Annie was the only one in the room when they gave her the epidural. After 30 minutes, Lucy felt tremendous results and was feeling so much better, with pain free. She was now looking forward to seeing people while she waits and delivers the baby.
Doctor- hi My name is Doctor O`Grady, you must be Kevin
Kevin- yes, Ive missed you every time I could come and you went here.
Lucy- that's because you refused to come half of the time
Kevin- I had to work, im sorry
Doctor- how you doing Lucy?
Lucy- a lot better since that epidural.
Doctor- good, everything looks fine, good, you should be able to deliver in about 15 Hours.
Eric- that's a long time to be waiting
Doctor- ya it seems long, wait till its here, it won't seem long anymore.
Ruthie- well, we can just sit and wait
Doctor- yes, Lucy or anyone, have any questions for me?
Lucy- No im good
Doctor- ok see you in a few hours then,
After the doctor left everybody stayed in Lucy's room. It was a long restless night for everybody. Already almost 2:30 in the morning. Patty- Mary and Kevin's Mom were finally here. They got to the hospital at about 12:30am. The twins were getting restless so they took a nap. Ruthie and peter went to walk down by the Nursery to see the babies. They also went to the cafeteria to get some food. Everybody else had gotten coffee and a little snack from a vending machine. Lucy still felt some contractions but not as much. At about 5:30 am Lucy was dilated to about 7 ½ centimeters. The nurse told her to get up and walk around a bit to hurry up the delivery if she wanted. So she did. She walked around the hallway 3 times. She felt pressure so she decided to stop. When the nurse checked her again at about 10:30 am she was completely dilated to 10.
Doctor- you're fully dilated to 10
Lucy- ya, about time
Nurse- here you go doctor.
Doctor- ok, besides your Husband Kevin you can have 3-4 people in here with you. And you got 13 people. Ill be back in about 5 10 minutes.
The doctor came back about 5 minutes later.
Doctor- ok, we will have to move you into the delivery room, ok
Lucy- ok
Doctor- did you decide whose going to be in the room with you yet or do you need more time.
Lucy- no, I got it, it's going to be my mom, brother, sister and, my dad
Nurse- is any of them under 16?
Lucy- no
They moved her to the delivery room, and about 1 hour later they had a baby girl. Although the baby was having a hard time breathing on its on. That's why it was premature.
Lucy- is it healthy? Why ant it crying?
Doctor- here, (to the nurse's) it needs oxygen
Nurse- ok, anything else
Doctor- it needs ICU right away, its lungs aren't fully developed yet, and the brain may have complications.
Nurse- on it doctor
Lucy- is everything ok with my baby?
Doctor- I wont lie to you, no
Annie- well what's wrong with it?
Matt- will it be ok
Doctor- well, the brain may have complications, and the lungs aren't fully developed witch is stopping it from breathing. Were keeping it in ICU probably for 2 months. Or until some major improvements
Lucy- would that be why it came early?
Doctor- no, something in the uterus may have been infected. It could have been getting restless in there. We don't know exactly.
Kevin- but, besides all that, it will be ok right?
Doctor- were hoping. She is at ICU right now; in about 1hour hour in a half you can see her.
Lucy- ok, thank you
With that the doctor left. Lucy was in tears and practically her whole family. They moved Lucy to her original room where the rest of the family awaits. Lucy didn't have the heart to tell them about her daughter, neither did Kevin. No one really did. So Matt had volunteered to do it. He started speaking. Everybody had looks on their faces like were the baby. After Lucy and Kevin heard it again what had happened to their first baby, they started to cry again. Kevin not as much. He was hurt, but didn't show much of it, in front of the family. Roxanne and chandler were also there. They got back to the hospital about 2 hours before Lucy delivered. They had taken the twins home as well as Ruthie and peter for some sleep. They gave a quick hello, and then everybody left Kevin and Lucy in there.
Lucy- are first baby, are first baby, how could that have happened?
Kevin- I don't know hunny. But all we can do is just pray, pray that shell be ok. Ok?
Lucy- easy for you to say, you didn't carry her under your heart for 7 ½ months.
Kevin- no, I didn't, but it doesn't mean that I don't love her as much as I do you.
Lucy- I know, I just wish it didn't happen?
Kevin- we all wish it didn't happen and yet it did. (they were both silent for while it seemed like, but it was only about 5 minutes.)
Kevin- I love you Lucy Camden! And just because are baby girl is in ICU doesn't mean she's going to die. And I know that's what your thinking.
Lucy- ok, but first, I like Lucy Kinkirk better.
Kevin- you want me calling you that again?
Lucy- ya, (Lucy got mad at him during her pregnancy and told him to call her Lucy Camden,)
Kevin- ok, Lucy Kinkirk. I love you!
Lucy- and second, I love you too.
Kevin- I know you do
Lucy- and I want to apologize,
Kevin- for what?
Lucy- well, my being pregnant, put a lot of stress on you. And I wasn't very nice to you at all. Kevin- your for given.
Lucy and Kevin heard a knock on the door. They didn't think it was the doctors so they said come in. They were thinking of it to be a family member, but were surprised to see it was the doctor.
Doctor- ok, I was doing some checks on the baby, and we did come across another problem.
Lucy- (almost in tears again) what complication
Doctor- promise me you wont cry until I leave please
Lucy- ok
Doctor- well, the baby has heart problems. It may need a heart transplant if she doesn't get better.
Kevin- heart transplant. Why
Doctor- well, we think there's no blood going through to her heart, it may be shut down. Were keeping a closer eye on her today and for a few weeks. Ill let you know more later on as the day goes when I learn more of what's going on ok.
Lucy- (in tears) ok.
Doctor- ok
Lucy was in tears. She wasn't expecting that type of news.
Nurse- Lucy, is there anything I could get you?
Lucy- ya, a heathly baby
Nurse- everything will be fine. We have had a lot of cases like this. The most that will happen, she'll have open heart surgery to give her a new heart, after that shell probably start breathing on her own.
Kevin- you really think that's what she needs, a new heart?
Nurse- although the doctor doesn't think so, I do. He wants to find a different problem not as bad as that. He hates seeing moms and dads, and their family` cry. And he really doesn't like seeing UN healthy babies. But I personally believe she needs a heart
Lucy- when will we know for sure?
Nurse- later on today,
Lucy- when will my family and I be able to see the baby?
Nurse- well, she has a lot of IV`s hooked up to her, food, blatter, oxygen, and some to keep he alive. Others to monitor her. Heart, pulse.
Lucy- wow, that's a lot for a tiny baby.
Nurse- ya, and I will let you see the baby in about an hour, or 2, were still helping her get stabilized. Family, and friends, its up to you. It probably wont be best to have young children see her.
Lucy- how about my 13 year old sister?
Nurse- again, its up to you, it might not be best, at least not today or for a little bit yet. She may loose her thought of having kids herself. We don't want to threaten anybody when they see those ivs hooked up to her. You know what I mean Kevin- ya, we do.
Nurse- you really want to see the baby?
Lucy- ya,
Nurse- ok, but first, you need to calm down your self. If you take a long walk around the hospital, and you can even go outside, for about an hour, Ill let you see the baby. Ok
Lucy- ok, deal, but my family too
Nurse- yes, your family can to. But you may want to see her first. And you and Kevin will be the only ones allowed in their at the moment. The rest will have to watch outside the window ok.
Lucy- ok
Nurse- ill get you a wheel chair.
Lucy- Thank you.
The nurse left, and Kevin went to tell all the people waiting to comfort them that they were going on walk.
Annie- hey sweetie, hows it going?
Lucy- fine. She has a heart problem too. The doctor thinks shell need a heart transplant.
Annie- its ok, don't worry Lucy- the nurse said if im calm and go on a walk for an hour around the hospital or outside, when I come back ill be able to see the baby.
Annie- just you or everybody?
Lucy- everybody, except Ruthie and the twins. The twins defiantly cant see her, and
Ruthie, I don't think she should. The nurse said she had a lot of ivs hooked up to her right now.
Annie- well, do what's best. I'm sure she'll understand.
Lucy- come with me on are walk. I want everybody to
Annie- ok, we will.
Mary- he how's it going
Lucy- fine. Were going on walk, hope you have walking shoes on.
Mary- ya, I do
Lucy- good,
Nurse- here you go Lucy, remember one hour at least ok
Lucy- ok.
Kevin- Ready?
Lucy- ya, guess so.
They went around the hospital and outside walking around. They saw a bench by a water fall, and decided to sit down on it. Lucy was starting to get uncomfortable sitting in the wheel chair.
Ruthie- so what's the baby name?
Lucy- I don't know, I didn't really decide it yet. I didn't think I was going to until I was at the end of 8 months.
Ruthie- don't you have any names that you like?
Simon- there has to be something you like
Mary- or you can name her after me
Lucy- I haven't decided
Simon- well, your gonna have to soon, mean the baby ant going to be a no namer. But im sure you`ll think of something.
Matt- when we were kids, I can remember you said, " I want to name my first baby girl Lillian Marie and your first boy Nathan"
Mary- I remember that too,
Lucy- it is a pretty name.
Simon- I remember that too. You were going through some type of boy phase
(They all laugh)
Lucy- do you think it's a cute name Kevin?
Kevin- ya, but it doesn't matter to me what we call her.
Sara- it's a good name Lucy, you should and I think everybody here agrees with me
Annie- I know I do.
Ruthie- you should, when you're a child usually you wont do things the same as an adult. But when you pick a babies name as a child, usually you keep the name. It sticks in your head.
Lucy- it's always stuck in my head, probably my first choice, but I didn't know what Kevin would think of it.
Kevin- it don't matter to me
Ruthie- im so much younger than you, I really don't remember anything from your childhood. But I think it's a go.
Mary- I remember something
Lucy- what?
When mom and dad were trying to pick out names for Sam and David. They couldn't agree
Matt- oh yeah, you said you wouldn't let the guy you marry help pick out names, it was Up to you, and you only
Simon- I remember that too. We all laughed at you. And you said it more than once, even when they were in the deliveries room, dad wanted Nathan but mom wanted Sam.
Lucy- Ya I remember that too. It's funny how much you remember stuff.
Eric- so what do you say Luce, Even Kevin thinks it's a cute name.
Lucy- (laughing) I think it's a yes.
Sarah- we have been out here for an hour and 15 minutes. You want to go see that baby now?
Lucy- ya, come on
They all got up and started to head back to the hospital. They made their way upstairs. But before they went to her room, they stopped at the ICU for the babies. Ruthie took Sam and David over to the waiting area. Lucy didn't think they were ready for what was coming.
Nurse- how was your walk?
Lucy- good, calming
Nurse- good, ok Kevin come in there you go Lucy
Lucy- thank you
Nurse- the rest of you will have to wait outside this window ok
Lucy- were is she
Nurse- first you guys need to put these on (she handed them scrub jackets and mask)
Lucy- o, ok
Nurse- over here.
Lucy had tears in her eyes when she saw her. There were not many babies in there, but hers looked the worst. It had soo much Ivs in the body and looked horrible.
Nurse- when you're done, you can bring it over to the window for your family to see her
Lucy- ok, she's so tiny
Nurse- yes, did you get a name for her yet?
Kevin- ya, I think she decided on Lillian Marie kinkirk.
Lucy- I did.
Nurse- that's a pretty name.
Lucy brought the baby over to the window. She couldn't pick her up so they pushed her over there. Lucy was in tears sobbing. She couldn't stand seeing her first baby like that. So, she took off her scrub jacket and mask and left to go back to her room. Sarah insisted she wanted to talk to Lucy alone. They let her and continued to have teary eyes as well. Sarah caught up with Lucy not long after she left. They walked to her room together and she sat on the bed crying.
Sarah- its ok, shell be ok Lucy don't worry
Lucy- none knows for sure, I just couldn't be they're looking at her like that.
Sarah- its ok, I understand, if that ever happened to my baby when its born I would be devastated too.
Lucy- ya, but your not,
Lucy- your pregnant aren't you?
Sarah- only 1 month
Lucy- congratulations.
Sarah- I guess so,
Lucy- but, how do you know how it feels.
Sarah- you really want to know?
Lucy- ya,
Sarah- well, before you got married, matt and I thought we were pregnant.
Lucy- but turned out you weren't I heard
Sarah- ya, but I was. For 4 months. Then I had a miscarriage. Your family found out before I took a pregnancy test, then when I did it proved it It got confirmed, But we didn't really want to tell the family yet, because we were busy. And the night we planned to, I got rushed to the hospital. They performed surgery to take out the baby I had lost.
Lucy- what happened to it.
Sarah- Heart problems. It couldn't breath right, same thing that's happening to yours. My water did break, I couldn't move without hurting so Matt called 911 and rushed me to the hospital. I got there in time, but to late.
Lucy- how in time, but to late?
Sarah- Well,
(There was a knock on the door)
Eric- are you ok
Lucy- ya, but if you don't mind Sarah's trying to tell me something in private,
Eric- no problem
Sarah- anyways
Lucy- so
Sarah-well, seeing the it happened early on in my pregnancy there was no way for it to live, they gave me 1 week for the baby, plus they gave me 30 days to live if the baby lived. After about 42 hours of being on ivs to monitor the baby and me, it died inside of me. Later on that night. They took it out. We thought they didn't know we were pregnant to begin with, so why tell them.
Lucy- I didn't know, I'm so sorry
Sarah- Its ok, and when I told Matt today I was pregnant, he became teary eyed. Actually yesterday.
Lucy- he doesn't want one
Sarah- that's what he told me, he said he was afraid to get me pregnant again. But it happened. And I have total faith in this one.
Lucy- I feel so bad, but at least I know I have you know, and someone who can relate to me. Cause I don't think anybody out there does.
Sarah-probably not, and that's why we kept it a secret, but I thought you should know.
Lucy- wow, thank you, maybe I have hope after all, at least she didn't die
Sarah- exactly so go see your baby, tears or no tears, don't leave she's going to need you by her side,
Lucy- wow, you just gave me a reason to believe everything will be ok, and how much I don't want to believe it, I do. Thank you
Sarah- you're welcome, but go now
Lucy- come with me
Sarah- ok come on
They walked down to the ICU for babies, but on there way was the waiting room. They stopped to tell them were they were going. Lucy told them she and Sarah were going to the ICU alone, She had hopes to believe the baby will be ok. Matt stopped Sarah and asked if her could talk to her,
Sarah- Lucy, Ill meet you there ok
Lucy- ok
Kevin- hey Luce,
Lucy- oh hey Kev,
Kevin- why do you seem so happy now?
Lucy- because, I have hopes.
Kevin- what did you and Sarah talk about?
Lucy- nothing
Kevin- ok,
Lucy- do me a favor go home and sleep, and tell everybody else that too. Please
Kevin- ok,
Lucy- thanks you, but after you sleep, come back ok,
Kevin- ok, I love you
Lucy- I love you too (they kiss)
Kevin walked off heading back to the waiting room, and told everybody Lucy wishes for everybody to go home and get some sleep
~~*~~ Matt and Sarah~~*~~
Sarah- what's wrong?
Matt- you told her
Sarah- she needed to know, and promises not to tell anyone ok
Matt- ok,
Sarah- you need to have hopes, all is babies we make aren't going to die.
Matt- you're right, ok, fine, after you see the baby want to go home, I'm really tired.
Sarah- ya, that's sounds great. But I promised my mother I would come see her today.
Matt- ok, after we sleep please.
Sarah- no problem
~~*~~ ICU~~*~~
Nurse- Back
Lucy- ya, I'm waiting for my sister-in-law. She gave me hopes
Nurse- good, you're going to need hopes. But shell be ok
Sarah- hey, she's so tiny.
Lucy- did, you see yours when they got it out of you.
Sarah- ya, for a few minutes, not long
Lucy- what she looks like
Sarah- you could see right through her practically.
Lucy- wow
Sarah- but at least she's safe in heaven in peace
Lucy- you think my family could have heart problem hats heredity.
Sarah- possibly, Mean mine died from heart problems, yours in ICU you from heart problems.
Nurse- I couldn't help to over hear, but does your family have a heart problem
Lucy- I don't think so why?
Nurse- well, from what I heard, it sounds like it.
