#11 Lost an angel yet gained an angel

Kevin: *shouting* Lucy, come quick!

Lucy: *running toward Kevin* What's wrong?

Kevin: *tears streaming down his face* Its time to say good bye

Lucy: *takes a deep breath* Yes.

*Kevin and Lucy walk back into Lorena's room

Lucy: Where is Mercy and Mark?

Kevin: Sleeping on the couch. Its little past midnight.

Lucy: Let's wake them up so they can say good bye.

*Kevin walks to Mercy and Mark

Kevin: *softly saying* Mercy and Mark wake up.

Mark: *rubbing his eye and stretching his arms* Is it morning already?

Kevin: *his voice breaking* No, but you gotta say good bye…

Mercy: To Lorena?

Kevin: *in a broken voice* Yes.

*Kevin and twins walk to Lucy and Lorena*

*Lucy is holding Lorena in her arms

Lucy: *in distinct voice* Kevin, remember three years ago I had Lorena in my arms like this and we decided to call her Lorena.

Kevin: Yes.

Lucy: *in a strange calm voice* Lorena is ready.

Kevin: I love you baby. You will never leave my heart *Kisses Lorena's forehead*

Mercy: *crying* Good bye sis. Someday I too will become angel and then we can play with our dollies forever.

Mark: Bye. I love you. I am sorry.

*For few minutes Lucy holds Lorena has Kevin, Mercy and Mark surrounds them.

2 minutes later

*The monitor goes dead

*Lucy with tears streaming down her face faces Kevin who was sitting by the bed with Mercy and Mark on his knees.

Lucy: Angel.

Kevin: A beautiful angel.

Mercy: A beautiful sweet angel.

Mark: My beautiful sweet angel.

Kevin and Lucy: Our beautiful sweet angel. We love you, Lorena and you will never leave our heart.

*Kevin kisses Lucy

*Kevin hugs Mercy and Mark

*Doctor walks in for daily routine

Doctor: *noticing the monitor dead and the family crying* I am sorry.

Three weeks later

*Its two days after the funeral

*Rest of the family had come for the funeral and had left.

*Mercy and Mark is in bed

*Kevin and Lucy is in Lorena's room talking

Lucy: I don't want to throw anything away

Kevin: *sighing* Same here but I can't bear to keep it in this room.

Lucy: *crying* We can get boxes tomorrow and pack it all up.

Kevin: And put it in the attic.

*Kevin and Lucy hug for a long time

Kevin: I will always be here for you

Lucy: I know you will. I am glad we ripped up our separation papers.

Kevin: I know.

*Kevin and Lucy break apart

*Lucy looks around the room

*Kevin sees Lucy and her pain and makes a life-changing comment

Kevin: How about another start?

Lucy: *in a puzzling start* Another start?

Kevin: Yes.

Lucy: *slowly realizing what Kevin is saying* But I don't want leave this place and house

Kevin: We won't. But we can't stay here.

Lucy: *in a hurt voice* She was your daughter too.

Kevin: *taking a deep breath* Everywhere I turn I see her, hear her laughter, and feel her. It hurts so much. We can keep this house as a summer house and come here every summer.

Lucy: *slowly nodding* I guess.

Kevin: *hugging Lucy* Our daughter will always be with us no matter. No matter what we do or where we live.

Lucy: You are right.

Kevin: And I also have another idea.

Lucy: What?

Kevin: What about adopting? You know how Lorena always wanted a baby brother or sister, well what about adopting. I know that you can't have another baby because it will hurt you and remind you of Lorena strongly. But as in memory of Lorena lets adopt. We can always consider of another baby later when we are emotionally stronger.

Up next: What does Lucy thinking of adopting? How is the family coping with the recent death of their daughter and sister? Where are they moving? Another city? Another state? What will the children think of moving and adopting?
