Chapter two: Now what?

Lucy sat in the living room staring at Savannah's baby book; Life with her was never simple. Well she is your daughter. So does that make this my fault? Kevin walked in drying off his hair.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Just looking at Savannah's baby book, Kevin do you think Savannah is to short?" Lucy asked.

"Well she is a little short," Kevin sat down. "Why?"

"I want to take her into get her checked out" Lucy sighed. "What if something is wrong?"

"Ok but you worry so much" Kevin laughed. Lucy sighed. Maybe I don't worry enough. Maybe it is all my fault. Kevin put his arm around Lucy. "Don't worry I'll call the doctor in the morning" Lucy looked at him reassuringly.

"Moooooooooooooommy!" Savannah cried. Lucy looked up and laughed, Kevin kissed her on the head and she got up to go see what her daughter wanted.


Lucy sat with Kevin in the waiting room as Savannah played. It was just like any other doctors office, which made Lucy nervous.

"Mr. And Mrs. Kinkerk, Dr. Richards will see you know," Said a nurse with a nasally voice. Lucy hesitantly got up; she picked up Savannah who struggled. They walked down a long corridor, Lucy felt like it was all a dream. They reached the doctors office and stepped inside. The nurse took Savannah to weigh and measure her Lucy reluctantly let go. The doctor walked in.

"Hello Lucy, Kevin" He said smiling.

"Dr. Richards I'm worried about savannahs height," Lucy blurted out impatiently.

"Ok, well lets see, just by looking at her she seems to be abnormally small" He said eyeing Savannah.

"Do you have any idea why?" Lucy asked.

"Well let me first do a physical, I have an idea but I don't want to jump to a conclusion" The doctor looked Savannah over, she giggled. Lucy sat impatiently watching. What could be wrong? What's he thinking? Why won't he tell me!

"Ok?" Lucy finally said.

"Well, I'm not the right doctor I think you should call this number and make an appointment for Savannah to see an endocrinologist. He'll be able to tell you if anything is wrong." The doctor said. Wrong doctor? Endocrinologist? What is going on? Is Savannah sick?

"Why? Is Savannah sick?" Kevin asked.

"Well not sick, but you should get her checked out" The doctor wrote the number down rushed them out. Lucy picked up Savannah and hugged her tightly. Kevin squeezed her hand.

"Now what?" Lucy asked.

"We take her to this doctor. We'll take her to every doctor we can to find out what's wrong" Kevin said taking Savannah.


"So what did the doctor say?" Ruthie asked playing with Savannah. Kevin had driven them to the Camden's house, that was where Lucy wanted to go.

"He referred us to another doctor" Lucy spat out hysterically. "Why does she need to see a specialist?"

"Lucy chill she's fine" Ruthie sighed, god I unleashed a monster.

"I just…Why Savannah?" Lucy stroked the little blonde head of her perfect little daughter. She smiled up at her mother with big green eyes.

"Lucy Savannah will be fine I mean she's just short its not like she is sick so don't worry!" Ruthie sighed playing with Savannah.

"I guess your right," Lucy said. Then why had the doctor referred her? Nobody else in the family had ever had this problem! Thoughts raced through Lucy's mind so fast she could barely understand them herself. Kevin was in the kitchen talking with Eric.

"I don't know why Lucy is freaking out," Kevin said.

"Because shes Lucy" Eric said.

"That's true," Kevin sighed.

"You don't think something is seriously wrong with Savannah?" Kevin asked.

"No but if the doctor wants you to get her checked out I think you should" Eric said. "And if you don't Lucy will be even more hysterical"

"I definitely don't need that" Kevin shook his head.


Kevin had called the number and arranged an appointment for Savannah. Within a week they were again waiting, in this time a hospital waiting room, with Savannah. When the doctor came out Savannah walked up to him.

"Hello" Savannah said. Lucy giggled nervously. The doctor immediately took savannah in for tests. When he was done Lucy sat nervously staring at him.

"Well your daughter is very talkative" he smiled. He had a scruffy beard; Lucy began to notice how nice he seemed. "OK savannah is going to have to stay in the hospital so we can run some more tests on her—"

"What?" Lucy jumped up. "Why? What's wrong with her? I need to know" Kevin held Lucy back she was ready to kill the doctor.

"Mrs. Kinkerk, I think Savannah may have pituitary dwarfism" he started. "Its when the child doesn't produce enough growth hormone. Now we'll run some test's to make sure—"

"Is savannah going to die?" Lucy cried, savannah raised her eyebrows at that in shock.

"No, no of course not. If savannah does have this and didn't get treated all that would happen is she would probably only grow a little more and then stop" the doctor stopped. "Depending on how much growth hormone her body produces but your daughter won't die" Lucy sighed so did savannah which made everyone laugh.

"So now what?" Lucy asked.
