Katelyn sighed as she walked past her gate for what seemed like the hundredth time. It had only been an hour and a half since she watched Lucy and her husband board their plane. They were the lucky ones they didn't have to wait the two hours that she did to get a flight to wherever they were going…unlike her who was still waiting for her flight into Glen Oak International Airport. She kept checking her watch that was on her right arm since she was left handed. As she paced back and forth she started to think about the events that had occurred earlier through out this past year.
Ever since Monica (her mom) told her back in January of this year (it was now June of 2006) that her leukemia had come back even though she had been in remission for the last ten years that there was something important that she had to tell her. For the days, weeks and the five months that followed Katelyn watched her mom's health deteriorate getting worse day after day even after all of the radiation treatments and the chemotherapy it looked like Monica wasn't likely going to see the upcoming Christmas holiday.
Katelyn quickly came back to reality when she heard that her flight 3539 was now boarding rows 11-25. She quickly grabbed her backpack and her purse and proceeded to the counter and handed them her driver's license and her ticket and placed her middle finger and her index finger onto the I.P.O (the Identifying Process Order) that was created after September 11th occurred. She waited the forty seconds that it took to fingerprint and ID her and was handed back her ticket stub and her driver's license and she started to walk towards the gate and into the airplane cabin. She doubled checked her ticket to make sure that she was indeed in row 12 seat A before she placed all of her carry on top into the compartments that were located up above. She sat down in her seat and was surprised to find out that this time she wasn't going to have a seatmate which suited her just fine…she really wasn't in the mood to talk. She took the pillow that the flight attendant had offered and put it behind her head…she had another two hours left on her quest and she wanted to be well rested for the remainder of her trip.
After Annie and Eric had dropped Lucy and Kevin at their home they drove back to Glen Oak in silence. They both knew that the other could tell that something was not quite right with Lucy and Kevin…normally they are very affectionate towards each other. Always holding hands, stealing kisses when they thought no one could see them. Even after being married for 3 years they still acted like newly weds.
Back at Lucy and Kevin's home in Stoney Creek, both of them were in the master bedroom unpacking their bags since they really didn't want to do it later. Neither one of them was talking to the other…Lucy was still partially mad at Kevin for the way he had acted all weekend but when he finally had told her he real reason she felt guilty. She still had both of her parents who were still after 27 years of marriage very much in love and very healthy as well. Lucy sat down on the bed and propped her feet up onto the pillows she had placed after emptying her suitcase and placing it on the floor. She fell asleep almost instantly when she felt an unexpected, yet well-known spasm go down her spine when she gasped out loud in surprise…loud enough for Kevin to notice.
"Luce?" he asked worriedly quickly walking over to her side of the king size bed. "What's wrong? Are you ok?" he asked her touching her stomach and her face hoping that whatever her answer was it wouldn't be bad news. The pained look that was on her face finally faded away but it took more than a few minutes.
"Lucy? Answer me…what's wrong? Are you ok? Is the baby ok?" Kevin asked again reaching for Lucy's hand.
"I'm…I'm fine…really" she replied struggling to get up on her elbows so she could look at Kevin.
"I…I think it was just a back pain…Dr. Jacobs said that I might have some pain once in a while but other than that it…it was nothing" she replied too quickly trying to convince herself and Kevin that everything was going as normal as possible…unlike the last time.
"Luce…sweetie…you look exhausted…why don't you take a nap and then when you wake up we can either go out to dinner or I can make something" Kevin said waiting for an answer.
When Lucy didn't respond he sighed and he grabbed the blanket that was strewn across the bed and put it over Lucy who had fallen asleep again. He watched her sleeping peacefully before he stood up and walked quietly out of their bedroom. He closed the door part way so he could come upstairs and check on her every once in a while to make sure that everything was ok. This time he wanted to make sure this baby and that his wife would always be with him. He walked slowly down the stairs and walked into the family room where there was a picture of Lucy and himself on their wedding day, an engagement photo that they had taken at the local JcPenney and then finally there in the middle of the two was a picture of little Leah Renee Kinkirk.
