Chapter: Phone calls lead to bad news
Disclaimer: Yea right, don't I wish!
After the third ring, someone at the station answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Hello, may I please speak to Kevin Kinkirk, it's his wife?" Lucy replied excitedly
"Sure, hold on please" After about 30 seconds Kevin picked up the phone.
"Hello Luce?"
"Yeah, it's me"
"What's up sweetie?"
"Well…I need to talk to you about something important!"
"Ok, shoot" In the background Lucy can hear someone talking, then Kevin reassuring them he wasn't using a gun, he was just talking to his wife.
"Nice one Kinkirk!" Roxanne laughed
"Sorry, what did you need to talk to me about Hun?" Kevin asked sounding annoyed because of the incident that just occurred.
"Um…well about that…see well…hold on the other line just beeped." Lucy stuttered
"Ok"
Lucy clicked over relieved from the fact that she could have more time to find a way to ask Kevin about Faith.
"Hello?" Lucy answered
"Hello, is this Mrs. Kinkirk?" a strange woman's voice said
"Yes who may I ask is calling?"
"Oh, yes well I'm a nurse at Glenoak Hospital and I am calling on behalf of your daughter Emma."
"WHAT! What's wrong" Lucy screamed panicking
"Well, she fell off the monkey bars at school, and she was brought here. That's all I know about the situation, but if you come down here the doctors will be able to tell you more."
"I'll be right there!" Lucy clicked back over to Kevin, tears already streaming down her face.
"Kev…th…that was…" That was all Lucy could get out before she broke down in sobs.
"Lucy, Luce what's wrong?" Kevin asked worried
Finally being able to control herself after about three minutes Lucy answered in a calmer voice. "Emma is at the hospital, she fell off of the monkey bars at school, meet me down there as soon as you can, and Kev hurry I'm really worried!"
"Lucy, calm down and call your mom. I don't want you driving in the state you are. No, I'll bring Roxanne with me and I'll come pick you up."
"No, Kevin I'll be fine, I'll call my mom, just get the kids and come down to the hospital."
"Alright if you're sure, be careful I don't want anything to happen to you too, I love you!"
"Love you too Kev!"
Lucy hung up the phone and a fresh set of tears fell down her face as she picked up the phone again to call Annie.
Time Lapse-
All the adults are in a hospital waiting room while the kids are at the play area.
Lucy is pacing around in front of everyone and they are all trying to get her to calm down.
"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" Lucy nervously rambled
"Lucy, calm down! Your getting your self to worked up." Eric said trying to soothe his middle daughter's nerves.
"I can't calm down, my baby girl l is still unconscious and they won't let me see her!"
"Luce, sweetie come here." Kevin said while patting his knee for her to come sit with him. She sits down on his lap, and lays her head on his shoulder. He grabs her hands with his and sighs.
"What if there is something really wrong or she doesn't make it at all?" Lucy kept on rambling
"Lucy, she'll make it, and it's us we can get through anything!" Kevin tried to reassure his wife, but also trying to reassure himself.
"But I still wanna kno…" Lucy started but stopped as soon as she saw the doctor working on Emma come into the room. By the time he got to were everyone was sitting Lucy was already pleading to know how Emma was doing.
"Mr. and Mrs. Kinkirk, everyone, Emma is doing well for her condition." The doctor said.
"What do you mean her condition? WHAT CONDITION!?" Lucy nearly screamed
The doctor sighed, "Well, this is hard to tell you but Emma's in a coma. When or if she wakes up from it she has a 30 chance of living. You can go in and see her if you want. I'm very sorry about your daughter though." Lucy felt her knee's let out and everything went black.
Time Lapse- We see a hospital room that in one bed has Emma and the other has Lucy. All the adults are still there. Lucy's eyelids flutter.
"Kev…Kevin?" She says in a raspy voice
"Hey you!" Kevin says smiling
"You're awake!" Ruthie said
"What happened to me?"
"Honey, you passed out after the doctor finished telling us about Emma's condition. We got you guys to share a room, but you can be released today. The doctors say if we talk to her then it might help." Kevin explained
"Can you help me over to her bed?" Lucy asked
"Sure" Kevin lifted her up off the bed and sat her down in the chair next to Emma's bed.
"I'm still a little dizzy, is that normal?" Lucy asked fear in her eyes.
"Yea, it is don't worry." Matt and Sarah said at the same time.
Lucy smiled at the cuteness of the couple. She turned toward her daughter.
"Hey, Ems it's Mommy. You gotta wake up, we all need you, you're my little lifesaver! Everyone is here to see you, we miss your smile and eyes Em!" A tear runs down her cheek as she spoke to her daughter's unconscious body. Emma's eyelids flutter open and she screams. A look of panic comes over the young five year olds face.
"Emma, honey calm down!" Lucy said reaching out for her daughter
"Who's Emma?! Who are you?! Who are ALL of you?!" Emma screamed
"Oh god!" Lucy said as she turned toward her husband and the rest of her family.
