Chapter 10

Sara's Room

"Mama." Meghan says.

"Yea baby."

"I love you." Meghan says bouncing on the bed.

"I love you too." Sara opens her arms for Maggie who immediately curls up between Sara and Ethan. Emily takes the remote for the T.V. and flips channels till she finds a kids show.

"Dora!" Shouts Maggie pointing at the T.V.

"Look mommy Boots is in the balloon." Says Emily playing along with the television.

"I see." Says Sara before turning to Ethan, "How's Lucy doing?"

"I don't know but I do know Kevin hasn't gone home yet and he hasn't been eating or doing anything but sitting beside Lucy." Ethan says.

"Hmm...I hope she's O.K." Says Sara. Sara leans her head against Ethan after moving a sleeping Maggie onto her lap. Emily climbs onto Ethan.

"I want to sleep here too." Emma says pulling the covers to her. Ethan and Sara sit in bed with the girls all Ethan can think about is how lucky he is to have Sara and the girls in his life but all Sara can think about is how is anyone going to catch Dylan. And will he hurt anyone again to get to her?

Lucy's Room

Kevin pushes his plate of untouched food away from himself. He catches a glimpse of Lucy's wedding ring, picks up her hand a rubs his fingers over her ring. Thoughts about Lucy and Kevin dating, him proposing, the wedding, their first fight, their first night together, their entire history all run through his head. Kevin moves closer to his unconscious wife and kisses her softly on the forehead.

"Lucy, sweetheart. If you can hear me I need you to wake up." He starts to cry a little, "I can't loose you Lucy. You have to fight whatever this is. You need to try and wake up. I'll be right here when you do I promise. I love you Lucy. Please wake up." Kevin puts his head down on her shoulder and cries until he feels Lucy move a bit. Kevin shoots up in shock as Lucy's eyes start to open.

"Kevin?" She calls out in a raspy voice. Kevin hits the call nurse button next to the bed.

"I'm right here Lucy." He says as he watches her try to orient herself. A nurse suddenly runs into the room.

"What happened?" The nurse asks.

"She woke up just a few minutes ago." Kevin says sliding out of the nurse's way. The nurse checks for vitals and for brain damage by asking Lucy general questions.

The nurse finishes and says to Kevin and Lucy, "Your going to be just fine Mrs. Kinkirk. I see no signs of brain damage and other than being sore for a few days you will be fine." The nurse leaves the room to call the doctor so he can sign her chart. Kevin moves back onto the bed with Lucy, tears stinging his eyes.

"Oh Lucy." He pulls her close to him, "I thought...they said...." Kevin stops speaking as more tears fall down his face.

"I was so scared when Sara said she saw Dylan." Lucy confesses as her and Kevin continue to hold each other tight. "Lay down with me." She says moving over so Kevin has room to lay down. Kevin quietly obeys her. He wraps his arms around her torso. Lucy tilts her head towards her husband.

"I love you." He says to Lucy.

"I love you." Lucy says to Kevin snuggling as close to him as she can get. Lucy yawns and buries her face in his chest.

"You should sleep." Kevin suggests. Lucy nods softly already half-asleep. Kevin soon follows and for the first time since the accident Kevin sleeps peacefully.
