Kevin woke the next morning, took a quick shower and got ready to drive over to the hospital. Lucy still hadn't woken up and the baby was still in the neo natal unit. He knew there was still a very real possibility he could lose them both. He tried to keep an optimistic state of mind.
He walked over to the Camden's house to pick up Annie and Eric. The kids were at school since today was a Wednesday. The three got into Kevin's SUV and began the drive to the hospital. Kevin parked in an empty parking space after having driven up and down the rows for several minutes. Then he walked with Annie and Eric up to Lucy's hospital room. He pulled a chair over to Lucy's bed and sat down. Annie and Eric went to visit the baby.
"I can't believe this is happening," Annie said as tears welled up in her eyes. "Everything will be all right," Eric said, "Lucy's a fighter and hopefully the baby and her can pull through."
Kevin held Lucy's hand. He couldn't help thinking that she could very well never wake up again. The nurse had told Kevin that talking to a person in a coma could help them wake up. He decided to give it a shot. "Lucy, it's me Kevin. I just wanted to say I love you so much. I don't know what I'd do without you. You're everything to me. Dr. Tillerman delivered our daughter. She's breathing on her own now. She's beautiful and she looks just like you." Just then her eyes fluttered open. "Kevin," she whispered weakly. "Oh my God, Lucy!" Kevin practically yelled, "You're awake!" Her hand went automatically to her stomach. "Oh, Kevin! Did I lose the baby?!" she asked as she started to cry. "No, no Luce. They delivered her. She's breathing on her own," Kevin reassured her, "She looks just like you." He smiled. "Can I see her?" Lucy asked. "Let me find a nurse." Kevin replied. He leaned down and kissed her before exiting the room "I love you," he said. "I love you, too," she replied.
He bumped into Annie and Eric just outside the door. "She woke up! I'm going t o find a nurse!" Kevin exclaimed. Annie and Eric disappeared into Lucy's room. Kevin hurried down the hallway until he saw a nurse that he knew. "Hi, I'm Kevin Kinkirk. My wife, Lucy, just awoke from her coma." Kevin explained. "I'll go find Dr. Tillerman," the nurse rushed away. Kevin practically ran back to Lucy's room. Dr. Tillerman was already there when he returned. "Kevin, Lucy should be able to go home tomorrow," Dr. Tillerman said as Kevin walked in. "That's great!" Kevin said. He walked over to Lucy's bed and bent down to hug and kiss her. "Kevin, the nurse said I could go see our baby! We have to name her!" Lucy said excitedly, "I was thinking Emma or Claire. What do you think?" I like Emma," Kevin said.
A nurse brought in a wheelchair and Kevin helped Lucy into it. He wheeled her down the hallway towards the neo natal unit.
