A/N thanks for the reviews!

The Next day Lucy and Kevin walked into the hospital to talk with Eric

"Kevin, I want to go in first. There is a lot I want to say to him."

"Okay, Lucy I will be out here if you need anything."

"Be back in a little bit."

Lucy took that long walk down the hall and turned to go into Eric's room.

"Dad, it is me Lucy are you awake?"

"Yes, I am and I am glad that you came so early. There is a lot I want to talk to you about."

"Okay and there is something I want to talk to you also, but you can go first.

"Well, I was sitting here thinking about when you were little and all you would do was cry. Me and your Mom could not get your to stop, you were only a baby so we thought it was natural and you didn't stop so we took you to the doctor and they said that nothing was wrong with you. So me and your Mom took you back home and I was sitting with you on the couch and you looked up at me with your big brown eyes and I started to sing to you and all of a sudden you stopped crying and started to laugh and that made me so happy." Eric said with tears in his eyes

Why did you not tell me this before?"

"I guess that I always forgot and it was never important."

"Dad, everything I did with you is important to me. I remember everything that we did together and I will never forget any of it.

"Lucy, when I am gone I want you to take over the church for me."

"Dad, I can't do that it will fell like I am replacing you and I don't want it to be that way. When I fist told you I wanted to be a minister I always thought I would take over the church when you retired no when you di-die-died. Dad I just can't do that."

"Lucy, you will not be replacing me and I want you to do this because if you don't then they will bring in some new person and they will not know what to do with the church or what are traditions are there. And if you don't who will the family come running to when they have problems? or whenever you know something is wrong you will hunt them down and make them tell you just like I always did. I know you can do this and it is what I want for you."

"Dad, are you positive?"

"Yes, I am now will you please say yes."

"Yes, dad I will take over when you are gone. That will mean a lot to me. I will fell like you will always be there with me."

"Lucy, I will always be in your heart and I will always look over you and the whole family you will always know that I am around I promise you."

"Okay, Dad I love you. And now I will let you talk to Kevin I will go get him okay?"

"Yeah, Okay Lucy. I love you."

Lucy walked back down the hall to get Kevin."

"He wants to talk to you know."

"Okay, I will be back."

"Hey, Dad" Kevin said

"Hey, Kevin I am glad that you came today also. There is a lot of things I want to say to you to."

"Okay, say what you want to."

"Well, when you first came to glenoak I didn't think that you and Lucy would get married. I knew that she loved you and that you loved her but she didn't have a good history with guys she would always get dumped or she would see that they were not the right ones for her. So when you came into the picture I figured that it would not last that long and I am so happy to know that I was wrong. It was about time that Lucy got her man. You are so good for her and I believe that you will be together for the rest of your lives."

"Eric that means a lot to me and I do truly love Lucy with all my heart, and I can assure you that, that will never change. I am so glad that I found her."

"Yes, and when I am gone promise me that you will take good care of her and you beautiful daughter. And your future kids."

"I promise Dad that I will. I better be going you have a lot of kids to talk to today so I will give them a call and tell them that they can come and see you now."

"Okay, thank you Kevin and I love you."

"I love you to Dad."

Kevin walked out into the hall way and called Simon and Rose to come to the hospital to talk to Eric.
