Chapter 7: Mary's in the Hospital

Mary was hooked up to monitors in the ICU when Wilson came into be with his wife. He brushed her beautiful away from her face and gave her a small kiss. Mary slightly opened her eyes and smiled to his wife.

"I love you honey," Wilson whispers as tears started to roll down his cheeks.

"Is our son okay," He heard her weakly ask.

"Yes, Lucy and Kevin have him, and he just knows that your in the hospital," Wilson said.

"I hope no one told him I don't want him to worry," Mary whispered. Wilson wiped his tears.

"He doesn't know," Wilson said with a smile.

At the Kinkirk home, Kevin came home late to see Lucy sitting up for him.

"Hi honey is Billy in bed," He asked coming over to his wife.

"Yes, he is, what happened to my sister," Lucy asked. Kevin came over to her to see her eyes glassed with tears.

"Well, she was pretty beaten up by the Coach and just about unconscious when your mom and sister found her," Kevin said. Tears

rolled down Lucy's cheek

"Mary will be very well after weeks of rehabilitation," Kevin promised his wife as he squeezed his wife tight.

At the Camden house, Ruthie was climbing into bed when tears started to flow down her face. Ruthie rubbed her eyes and walked to her phone and dialed Lucy.

After three rings she heard her sister on the other end.

"Lucy, I am scared for Mary, Wilson and Billy," Ruthie said with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"I know you are, but she safe in a hospital and so she will get better," Lucy said.

"I feel so guilty," Ruthie had told her older sister.

"Why do you feel that way," Lucy asked her over the phone. Ruthie told her older sister through the tears.

"Well Kevin is going to make sure he is put away forever," Lucy explained.

"How is Billy," Ruthie then wanted to know.

"He is fine, asleep and he only knows his mom, is in the hospital," Lucy said.

"Sam and David don't know yet," Ruthie said to her.

"When do you plan on telling them," Lucy asked them.

"I don't know when Mom wants to I will let her talk to them," Ruthie said.

"Okay I got to go bye," Lucy said.

"Bye Love you," Ruthie said.

"Love you too, bye," Lucy said. Then the girls hung up and Ruthie went to bed.

Annie came up a little later to kiss Ruthie good night. Ruthie was still awake crying her eyes out.

"Mary will be fine," Annie told her daughter.

"I know you're scared but Mary is in good hands at the hospital, and Wilson is going to be with her until she can come home again," Annie said. Ruthie sniffled and then looked up at her mom to give her a hug and kiss.

Back at the hospital Wilson was sitting with Mary. She had fallen asleep again as she worked on recovering. Wilson sadly got up after a couple of hours.

"I got to go honey but I will be back the next evening I love you," Wilson whispered to his wife kissing her on the cheek. Mary opened her eyes again and said good night and kissed Wilson went back to sleep.

Wilson walked out of the room and down the hall to the nurses station.

"I will be back to visit my wife again tomorrow," He told them.

"Sounds good," the nurse said. He then went to a pay phone to dial Kevin for a ride home.

The next day Wilson called the school where Mary worked.

"Hi this is Mary's husband she won't be in until further notice," Wilson told the secretary.

"Thanks" He heard her say. Mary then hung up and dialed Billy before he went to work.

"Hey Lucy is Billy up yet," Wilson asked his sister-in-law.

"Actually Kevin has him for the day, so I could work on school work, and Billy is with Kevin running errands right now," Lucy told him into the phone.

"Okay tell him after work I will come over and he can come with me to see Mary," Wilson told her.

"Are you sure it is okay to bring him yet, He may not be allowed in the ICU," Lucy said.

"I am sure that is true but Mary has been asking for him," Wilson said.

"How about Kevin and I take him later today and then he can see his mom and we can see her too," Lucy said.

"That would be better since I may go for long hours, Wilson decided.

"I will talk to Kevin when they get home," Lucy answered.

"Sounds great, I got to go to work so bye," Wilson answered.

"Bye Lucy, and the two of them hung up. Wilson headed to work and Lucy got back to her school work.
