#6 Bewildered
Doctor: *in I am so sorry tone* Lucy lost her baby.
Annie: *in shocked voice* Baby?!?!?!?!?
Doctor: *oops tone* You didn't know?
Annie: *still in shocked voice* I suspected she was pregnant but…
Doctor: *shaking his head and pointing his finger to Lucy's room* You may want to go in and see her.
*In Lucy's room
*Lucy's room with filled with fresh flowers and cards
*Lucy herself is tired and worn out and looks very pale as she is lying in her bed
Annie: *in a gentle and soft tone* How are you?
Lucy: *in a broken voice* I lost my *sniffling* baby.
Annie: *gives Lucy a hug* I am so sorry.
Lucy: *still in a broken voice with a bit sniffling* Maybe this is my punishment because I never wanted this baby in the first.
Annie: *in a rushing tone to correct Lucy* Oh no this isn't your fault. Sometimes God takes something precious from us for a reason we don't know. Did Kevin know that you were going to have a baby?
Lucy: *in a stronger voice* No, it doesn't and he will never found out that we almost had a baby. This is only between us.
Annie: *in a worried motherly voice* He is your husband…
Lucy: *in a determined voice* No. *then in a softer voice* Maybe later….much later.
*6 days later
Annie: *helping Lucy pack* You don't need to go back today.
Lucy: *folding her clothes* But I need too. The kids need me and I need to settle things with Kevin.
Annie: *in worried tone* You need your rest. You just lost your baby.
Lucy: *smiling and looking into Annie's eye* I promise Mom take I will be careful. However, everything I need and want and need to do is not here. Its time for me to return home.
Annie: *hugging Lucy* Just don't rush things and think things through. Your decision with Kevin doesn't just affect you guys but your kids too.
Lucy: *hugging Annie back* I will Mommy. I love you.
Annie: I love you my child.
*One week later: Lucy is back in Hawaii with her children and Kevin is still in Florida
*It's a sunny lazy Sunday afternoon
*Mercy and Mark is trying to play with Lorena but is bored with her
*Lucy is on the phone
Lucy: *in a business voice* I would like papers for separation.
Lawyer: *in a serious voice* Ok. Would you need divorce papers too?
Lucy: *in a faltering voice* Divorce?
Lawyer: *in matter-of-fact voice* You can get divorce paper later.
Lucy: *in hesitating voice* Uh…uh…uh…umm…umm…sure
Lawyer: Will you please come in tomorrow for the papers?
Lucy: *in a broken voice with a bit of strength* Yes.
Lawyer: Good day to you.
Lucy: Thank you.
*Lawyer hangs up*
*Lucy hangs up the phone
Mercy: Mommy what's a divorce?
*Lucy turns around in a flash and faces Mercy and Mark
Lucy: *in a questionable voice* A divorce?
Mark: *in a duh voice* You said something of a divorce.
Lucy: *for the second time in a hesitating voice* Umm…umm…that is a…
*Lucy looks lost and bewildered
Lucy: *changing the subject* Mercy, where is Lorena?
Mercy: *in bored voice* Outside
Lucy: *oh-oh voice* Alone?
Mark: No, with her dollies
Lucy: Kids please go bring in her sister in
*Mercy and Mark go outside to their backyard to bring Lorena inside
Lucy: *saying to herself* What I am gonna do? Oh, please will somebody help. What I am gonna tell the kids? What am I gonna do next? *starts panicking*
*then Lucy sees her children coming in and starts to calm down
Lucy: *saying to herself* I need to get a grip.
*Children walk in toward Lucy
Lorena: Dolly hungry. Me hungry.
Lucy: *in a disturbed voice* Hmm…what do you want for a snack?

Lucy: *laughing* Lorena, honey we don't eat mud. And Mark we don't have chocolate pie but we can make some later. So what about PB and Jelly sandwich with milk?
Children: Ok
Mercy: I want snowman shape
Mark: Me too
Lorena: Mickey Mouse
Lucy: Come on kids...lets go make our snacks
*Lucy scoops Lorena in her arm and with Mark and Mercy walks happily into the kitchen*
*Two days later – in Florida
*Kevin walks in through the front door after a hard day of work
Kevin: *untying his tie* Oh I have new messages
Answering machine: You have two new messages
*Kevin pushes the button to listen to his first message
Answering machine: *in Lucy voice*
Kevin, this is Lucy. I want to say that I got separation papers. I want to talk to you before we signed it. I didn't get the divorce papers because I wasn't sure exactly where this was going. Please come home soon so we can talk. I want…*Lucy clears her throat* Um…the children wants to say hi. *in Lorena voice* Hi daddy. I love you. *in Mark voice* Come home soon because our basketball team is going to the championship *in Mercy voice* I miss you in the morning and night. Please come home.
Answering Machine: Beep! Tuesday 6:00 PM
Coming up next: What is Kevin reaction to Lucy's message? What did Lucy start to say? Will they reconcile or will they separate? Will the kids be explained in what is going on between their parents? Will Lucy tell Kevin about her miscarriage? And lots more!
