Still Going Strong Chapter 8: Crisis
Sean and Chloe slept over at Lucy and Kevin's house again the next night, while Emily stayed again with the Overwoods. When Sarah and Matt came home the following day, they picked their kids up and let everyone meet the new baby. He had a tuft of brown hair on his head and brown eyes, like his mom, dad, Chloe, and Sean. Emily, who had medium blonde hair, was the only odd- person-out.
After they and Kevin left, Lucy got the triplets dressed and took them to the park again, after they had been insisting on going for over an hour. She pushed them down in their stroller, and spread out a blanket for herself on the grass. She sat and read while her three children played together all over the playground. She was greeted by her friend Jessica, who was there with her 6-year son, Steven. They chatted for almost an hour while Steven pushed the triplets on the baby swings. As Jessica was about to call Steven to leave, Lucy's cell phone rang. She fished it out of her purse.
"Hello?" She asked into the receiver. A female voice answered on the other end.
"Hello...Lucy Kinkirk?" The voice asked.
"Yes?"
"This is Jamie at Glen Oak hospital. We were asked to call and inform you that your husband is here in our care." Lucy's face went pale and she got dizzy. She grabbed onto the blanket.
"What?!" She cried. "What happened?"
"I don't have the details, ma'am, I am just the messenger. Please come to this hospital immediately."
"OK." Lucy stammered. She hung up the phone. "Will, Luke Maddy, Come here!" She cried frantically. They triplets ran over.
"What's wrong, mommy?" Asked Luke, who saw the tears on his mother's cheeks.
"We need to go see daddy. Come on." She said.
"Lucy, what happened?" Jessica asked. Lucy had forgotten that she was even there.
"It's Kevin. He's in the hospital. I have to get home so we can get up there." She said.
"I'll drive you down." She said. She called her son over.
"Jess, you don't have to do that."
"I know, but I want to. Come on. Fold up the stroller and we'll put it in the back. I don't have car seats, so the kids will have to sit regularly, but I'm sure they'll be OK this once." Lucy nodded, in a trance. The got into Jessica's car and drove to the hospital. She offered to stay with Lucy, but Lucy declined the offer. She put the triplets in their stroller and ran inside, with them in front of her. She ran for the front desk.
"My husband, Kevin Kinkirk is here. Where is his room?" She asked, frazzled and out of breath.
"What is your relation to Mr. Kinkirk?" She asked.
"I'm his wife." She said. The nurse nodded her head.
"Well, Mrs. Kinkirk, his room is B132, but he's in surgery right now. Lucy gasped.
"Why? When will he be out?" She asked, holding back her tears.
"He is scheduled to be out in about an hour and a half."
"When did he get here? When did he go into surgery?"
"He got here about 45 minutes ago, and went into surgery right away." Lucy began to get dizzy again. She held on to the counter to keep her self upright. Her ears were ringing, and suddenly, everything faded, and went black.
When she opened her eyes again, she didn't know where she was. She looked around her...white curtain walls...white sheets...it dawned on her that she was in a hospital room, in a bed. A nurse was standing next to her.
"Ahh, you're up." She said.
"Where's my husband? Where are my kids?" She cried.
"Calm down. We took your children down to the day care center on the first level after you fainted. Your husband is still in surgery, but he will be out soon." She said. Lucy felt sick. She grabbed the empty plastic bag next to her and vomited.
"Why am I here, in a hospital room? I only fainted." She said.
"You're in the emergency room. We called the paramedics, who took your vitals...blood pressure, heart rate, and such. You're results weren't good. Pressure was high, and rate was low. They decided to move you into here. We need to do some blood tests. Lucy nodded her head. The nurse left for a moment and came back in a minute with supplies. She took blood from the underside of Lucy's elbow. When she was finished, she turned to Lucy, who was half awake. Her head was pounding, and she was still extremely nauseated.
"We'll put these in the lab. We should have results in about a half hour. Why don't you get some rest." She said. Lucy nodded her head. She was asleep before the nurse even left the room...
A/N: Muah ha ha ha ha! LoL. What happened to Kevin? What's up with Lucy? Look for the next chapter soon.
