They looked at each other, not saying anything. Kay took it as a sign that she should start but he spoke before she got the chance. "Kay, I'm sorry."

….

"I know you are," she said finally, speaking softly, almost sad. "God, I know you are, but there's nothing I can do about that. My mind doesn't want to forgive you yet, even if my heart does. And I'm sorry for that but I can't do anything. I just can't do anything…" her voice trailed into nothing as she finished her words.

….

Jake saw what was in her eyes and pulled his hand back as well. "It's not what I was hoping for, but I can live with it. Thank you, Kay."

….

They walked side by side through the halls of Williamson Penitentiary and back to the SUV.

Chapter 5: On The Road Again

At the SUV, Kevin and Kay got in their seats and buckled up. Since being in silence seemed scarier than having the wrong song on, Kay turned on the radio and "Pon de Replay" by Rihanna came on. It wasn't a rap channel, so she decided to keep it on, although she turned the volume very low. It was so low that the car's sounds overpowered it and only the basic melody and the bass could be heard through the speakers.

A few minutes later, they had passed the last checkpoint and the entrance gate. They were about to turn onto the road, when Kay got a bad feeling. She didn't know what it was about, but she didn't like it.

Kevin didn't have that feeling though, so he turned the car and pressed the gas. They zipped into their lane and headed home, all the while Kay's mind was trying to figure out why she felt weird.

It must be because I just saw Jake, her mind reasoned but she wasn't sure that was it. It doesn't feel like that. It just feels different. I can't place it, though.

They rode four miles to their house until they got to an empty intersection. At least it seemed empty. There weren't any cars in sight and there were only a few people on the sidewalks.

That's strange, Kevin thought as he waited for the light to change. When it hit green, he tapped the gas and the vehicle started going forward. By the time they realized what was happening it was already too late.

Coming down the lane, directly towards them, a station wagon barreled along going at least 80, although somewhere in her mind Kay thought, I didn't know they could go that fast.

In fact, that was her last thought before the front end of the station wagon slammed into her side and she blacked out.

Lucy and Savannah sat at the kitchen table, playing a round of rummy. They had been talking but they decided to give their minds something else to do and they got the cards out. So far, Savannah was winning.

It was Lucy's turn, so she looked intently at her cards, planning her next move. Then, after several seconds, she grabbed three cards from the discard pile and put down a row of four aces. She was able to catch the shock in her daughter's eyes before she put a 2 of diamonds in the discard pile.

"Way to go, mom," Savannah said and picked up a card from the Draw pile. She looked at it for a moment and then put it in the discard pile. Boy, looks like my good luck's changing.

"I wonder where they are," Lucy said, referring to her husband and youngest daughter. They weren't late, but they were being expected any time then and Lucy wanted to get started with dinner. It was she and Kay's turn making veal.

"I don't…" Savannah started but the phone cut in. With a look on her face that said Well, how about that, she got up and answered the phone. Lucy looked at her, waiting to see if it was them but she got her answer when Savannah said, "Oh hey Rob. (pause) Oh, it is. (pause) I swore that I left it on. (pause) Yeah, you're right. Duh! So, what's up? (pause) Oh nothing, just waiting for my dad and Kay. (pause) Haha, yeah, I know. (pause) Okay, talk to you later, bye." She hung up the phone and returned to seat. She started to pick up her cards and situate them once again when she said, "Rob just called to say that my cell was off. I'm calling him later tonight to make plans for tomorrow."

"Oh, that's nice. What was he up to?" Lucy said, playing on her turn.

"Nothing really. Just fixing the water pipe in his bathroom. It's been leaking for a week now, but he just got the new part that he needed."

"Good. Everything good between you two?"

"Yeah, I mean, well, I don't know. I guess we're good. We're not bad. I mean, Ahh, I don't know how to say it," Savannah said, or rather, tried to say.

"I know how you feel. I was young once too." Lucy said and smiled, remembering her days in high school.

"Oh yeah. That Jeremy kid."

"Yes, that Jeremy kid. But if that ever happens to you, don't be dumb like me. Don't give the ring back unless you hate it," Lucy laughed, saying that she was only joking. Actually, she thought it was one of the first grown up things she'd done in a relationship.

Savannah's laugh was cut short by the phone again. "I wonder…" she said and picked up the phone again. "What?" she asked, believing that it was Rob.

"Hello, is there a Lucy Kinkirk there?" A man asked and Savannah held the phone out for her mother.

Lucy got up with a confused look on her face. Who could that be? she wondered. "Hello?"

"Hello, Mrs. Kinkirk. My name is Harry. I'm a nurse at Glenoak Hospital."

Lucy's breath caught. Who could be at the hospital, she thought immediately thinking something happened to one of her parents. "What's going on?"

"Ma'am, your husband and daughter have been involved in a serious accident and we need you get here as soon as possible. Hold on, a doctor needs to ask you something."

Lucy heard the exchange of the phone but she didn't register it. Her mind was still recalling the words she just heard. Your husband and daughter have been involved in a serious accident

"Mrs. Kinkirk?" came a new voice from the receiver, although this time it was female. "I'm Dr. Alicia Hillman and I'm the doctor working on your daughter. I need your permission to operate on her. She's got a collapsed lung and her spleen needs to come out. Maybe even one of her kidneys, as well, we can't tell from our examination just yet. Your husband is in a coma, so he couldn't give his permission."

Lucy was in shock. Savannah crept up next to her and saw her mother's face. Worry started to come into her eyes and she asked, "Mom? What's wrong?"

That shook Lucy from her shock and she closed her eyes to clear her head. When she did, she saw an image of Kevin and Kay, bloody and bruised, so she opened her eyes. "Yes, yes, do it. Do anything, just don't let my baby die!"

"Mom?" Savannah said, tears forming at her eyes.

The doctor told her where they were in the hospital and Lucy hung up the phone. She still hand her hand on it when she realized that Savannah was still there. She turned to her oldest daughter and quickly locked her in an embrace.

Savannah wouldn't have it though and she pushed her mother off of her. "What's going on!" She yelled, tears streaming profusely down her cheeks.

"Your father and Kay got… into… an accident… Kay needs surgery and… and… he's in a coma!" Lucy sobbed and it was Savannah who instigated the hug, although this time neither one of them tried to get out of it.

They only hugged for a few moment before Lucy remembered and said, "Come on, we need to go. Get your cell phone and start calling people right away." With that, Savannah ran upstairs. Lucy grabbed their coats and her keys and went for the mini-van that she used as her vehicle. Once she was in, she saw Savannah emerge from the front door, already on the phone.

"Yeah and can you please call Uncle Simon? (pause) Thanks Grandma, I love you. (pause) Bye," she said when she was in the van. Most of Savannah's tears had tried by then and calling in a business like fashion was helping hold most of the rest in.

Lucy kept hers in knowing that she and Savannah would be in the beds next to Kevin and Kay if she cried. Oh, Lord, please keep them with me. I need them. Please. It's not their time yet; it's not their time, please!

Thanks krazypirategurl for giving me the idea about the accident. At first I wasn't going to do it, cause I thought it had enough drama and whatnot but I changed my mind. How is this going to affect everything with that crazy Rebecca… you'll see. Review please!
