Chapter 6: A Birth
"One more push, Lucy," Dr. Field commanded. Suddenly crying filled the room. "It's a girl!" the doctor exclaimed. She handed the baby to Lucy while Kevin cut the cord. "She's beautiful," Lucy said with tears in her eyes. A nurse carefully picked up the baby and quickly cleaned her off, wrapped her in a blanket and handed her back to Lucy. Lucy looked up at Kevin and he leaned down to kiss her. "So, another girl," he said, "That makes four girls and one boy." "What are you going to name her?' asked the nurse. "Hannah Madison," Lucy replied proudly.
Back in the waiting room not many people were left since it was late. Mary and Carlos took their kids back to the hotel they were staying in. Sarah had said her goodbyes to Matt and took Noah and Jaime home. Simon and Faith took Kevin and Lucy's kids back home and Ruthie and David left. Only Annie was left when a nurse came and told her she could visit her husband and new granddaughter. "So another girl," Annie said to herself. She walked down the hall to Eric's room.
"Honey, I'm so glad you're okay," she said. "Me too," he said, "How's everyone else?" "Matt's great. He got out of surgery a few hours ago. Kevin just needed a sling after his surgery. Oh, yeah! Lucy had another girl. I'm on my way to visit them. Okay, this might be hard to hear but Sam lost too much blood and passed on," Annie said. She looked deep into Eric's eyes as they filled with tears. She rested her head on his chest. "Everything's gonna be fine," he whispered trying to comfort her.
Half hour later
Annie walked into Lucy's hospital room. She saw Lucy sleeping and Kevin holding a sleeping baby. "She's beautiful," Annie murmured as Kevin handed over Hannah. "What'd you name her?" Annie asked. "Hannah Madison," Kevin answered. "That's a beautiful name for a beautiful baby," Annie said.
