A/N: didn't I tell you all that I'd update when I had 44 reviews? Yay! I'll
update again this Sunday if I have 51 reviews. By the way, I'm not sure if
what happened here can happen, so if it can't excuse me. I'm not a doctor...
:-)

Kevin studied the doctor worriedly. "Tell me Dr. Bard, what exactly is wrong with my wife why did she pass out like that?"
"Mr. Kinkirk, when Mrs. Kinkirk gave birth the amount of stress she was under made it a very difficult delivery, am I correct?"
"Yes, it did. But, according to Dr. Camden, her OB-GYN and brother, there were no complications." Kevin replied.
Dr. Bard pushed his glasses up his nose. "Yes, I am aware of that but, we recently discovered that your wife's stress level caused the baby to break to severely damage the uterus. (A/N: Don't take my word for it. I invented this.)
"What are the implications of that?" Kevin asked.
"I'm sorry; Mr. Kinkirk, but your wife can not have another child."
Kevin fought for control. "How will that affect her health?"
"For the next few months, she may experience a post-natal depression and severe stomach aches."

"So what's wrong, son?" Mrs. Kinkirk rushed towards Kevin along with the rest of Lucy's family.
Kevin stared at them blankly then looked at his mom. "The baby damaged her uterus... she... can't... can't have anymore children."
Annie stifled a gasp and turned to look at Eric. They both knew how much Lucy and Kevin wanted a big family.
Mrs. Kinkirk hugged Kevin to her, when she saw the tears streaming down his cheeks.

Kevin's POV:
I feel like a little kid again, coming off the playground with a skinned knee, crying to Mommy. I know I have to be strong later, for Lucy. But, I can't help it. Both of us planned to have a big family. Now, that dream is gone. Why did God have to do this? He took my father, he took my daughter's fingers and he took all of Lucy and my unborn children. I can't face it. I can't tell Lucy. Not now. How will she react? It will devastate her.

Kevin slowly pushed the door open. He strode in with Rev. Camden at his side. He decided that he wanted Lucy's father there. Maybe he could help them understand that this wasn't a punishment from God.
"Kevin! Dad!" Lucy called from her bed, her face tired and pale. "What's wrong with me?"
"Luce, baby," Kevin murmured brushing her hair off her forehead. "Everything's going to be fine."
"Why did I pass out?" she demanded to know.
"Lucy," he sat at the edge of her bed gathering all his courage to tell her "When you delivered Lalitah, your uterus got damaged."
She turned to him, her face flushed with fear. "What? What will happen?"
"I'm sorry, Lucy, but we can't have anymore children."
She just stared at him the started sobbing soundlessly. Kevin held her, all the while looking at Rev. Camden, hoping for support. But, he knew that this was his job.
Finally, she turned to her dad. "Daddy, why did God hurt me this way?
Rev. Camden knew this was where he came in, both as a father and minister. He chose to explain to Lucy, what she had been told a lot of times before, that God wasn't punishing her, that everything happened for a reason during the right time. He knew his daughter's pain wouldn't cease to exist. But at least, it would have a reason to stop...
