Title- Whiskey Lullaby
Author- BevandDavidFan aka Theresa Disclaimer- I don't own any of the 7th Heaven characters, please don't sue cause you won't get much!!!
Information- This is based on the song "Whiskey Lullaby" by Brad Paisley and Allison Krause. It is a short Lucy/Kevin fic set in the future. This fanfic doesn't have anything to do with my other fics, Trust and Friendship and Ties That Bind, but it may include Jen, as well as some of the other characters.
Enjoy!!!
Lucy watched from the window of their small 3-bedroom house as her husband Kevin stumbled up the drive. He was coming home drunk again, after a night out with his fellow officers after their shift. She couldn't take this anymore. The still tender bruise on her left cheek and the two broken ribs were all the convincing she needed.
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette.
He walked in, expecting the usual kiss and welcome home. As he bent to kiss her she turned away
"This is it Kevin, I'm done."
"Lucy, what are you saying? We can't get a divorce, what will your parents say?"
"They'll say 'Good for you Luce.' I should have left a long time ago. Ever since you started going out drinking with the boys you've become a different person. Can you even see this bruise you gave me? It's got the whole town talking."
"Lucy that was an accident and you know it! I was upset that night, we lost a fellow officer."
"Don't give me that crap Kevin. You were drunk and when I said something you went off. Get out of my house."
"You can't do this to me Luce." He said and he grabbed her arm, "This is my house."
"I'll be more than happy to leave you in YOUR house then Kevin." She grabbed the two suitcases by the door. Funny how he didn't notice them when he came in.
"Goodbye Kevin."
She broke his heart; he spent his whole life trying to forget.
Kevin had lost his job and his wife in the same week. Some of his friends from the station said she was staying with her parents. There wasn't any doubt in his mind that the Camdens were the reason he was fired. His boss had told him to get his life together, to sober up, and maybe he would get back on the force.
Why bother? He thought to himself as he took another sip. It won't bring Lucy back.
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time. But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind...
He was in a drunken stupor when Reverend Camden showed up at his door.
"These are the divorce papers. Lucy asked me to bring them by."
"Icing on the cake, isn't it? Thanks Reverend, for all your help." He said sarcastically. The Reverend left without another word.
"I can't take this anymore. I won't turn into the man my father told me I would be!" Kevin screamed as he walked up the stairs.
"A low life, drunk son-of-a-bitch, yeah, you were right Dad!"
Until the night...
Jennifer answered the door when Sgt. Michael's pulled up. The Camden's had invited Jennifer and Simon to dinner that night.
"Hello Jennifer. It's been awhile since I've seen you. How's the baby?"
"She's wonderful. Simon's a great Dad," She saw the look on his face and stopped, "But I have a feeling your not just here to talk about the baby."
"Is Lucy home? I need to speak with her." Just then Lucy, along with the Reverend and Annie, walked up.
"I'm here Sgt. Michaels, what is it."
"I'm afraid I have some bad news. We got a call about some gunshots that were heard in your neighborhood. Kevin shot himself Luce..."
She sank to the floor, hysterically crying, before he could say another word.
He put that bottle to his head, and pulled the trigger And finally drank away her memory Life is short, but this time it was bigger Than the strength he had to get up off his knees We found him with his face down in the pillow With a note that said I'll love her till I die
The funeral was a few days later, limited to family only. Kevin's mother, brother and sister flew in. Matt and Sarah came from New York with their kids, and Mary's family came from Florida. Simon and Jen stood side by side, the baby in Jen's arms. Ruthie stood next to the twins. No one spoke as the tears rolled down Lucy's face.
And when we buried him beneath the willow The angles sang a whiskey lullaby La la la la la la la La la la la la la la
So, what did you guys think of the first part? There will only be one more chapter. Review for a quick update!!!
