The days past too quickly for Liz. They refused to discuss his impending death. They just lived in the moment.
One day Lucky was out with Nickolas. Liz had declined their invitation to join them saying sh "had too much homework". THey went without her.
About 3 hours later Bobbie was pounding on their apartment door. "Liz, you there?"
Liz opened the door, "WHat is it Bobbie?"
"Lucky's in the hospital, he collapsd while he was with Nickolas. He is in a coma."
"God," Liz put ehr ahnd to her mouth, "Is IT goign to happen soon?"
"It doesn't look good Liz, we'll see how the next 24 hours go." Bobbie said, "I'm goign bakc to the hospital, do you need a ride?"
"No Bobbie, I ahve soem things to take care of here. I'll be along soon," Liz assured her when Bobbie looked like she would object.
"Okay, see you there Liz." Bobbie said leaving
Liz shut the door and leaned back against it. SHe wanted to be with Lucky, but there was another matter at hand. SHe glanced towards hte bathroom, where, in a few minutes she would find out how radically her life would change.
*************************************************************
Liz finally reached the hospital, she had been here too much. Never again would she be able to walk into a hospital without remembering what Lucky was going through. She prayed for God to let Lucky wake up as she thried to find someone to tell her where Lucky's room was.
Finally she found a nurse who told her Lucky was in room 110. She ran into the room, hoping Lucky was still alive.
Luke and Laura were seated by his beside. Lucky was hooked up to an assortement of machines. THe steady beat of the machine for his ehart was disconcerting.
As Liz entred the room Laura stood up and hugged her, "He's alive for now Liz. THe doctors said it could be any time now though."
"no donor?" Liz asked, although she knew the answer.
"No Liz, and I don't think we should count on it. Hte doctors said we should say our goodbyes." Luke said.
"Um, would you guys mind if I had some time alone with Lucky?" Liz asked glancing towards the still figure on the bed.
"Sure Liz," on theri way out Luke squeezed Liz's shoulder in support.
SHe took off ehr jacket and threw it over the back of the chair. She didn't bother sitting in it though, she knelt beside the bed.
"Lucky, I hope you can hear me. They say people can still hear while in comas so there are some things you have to know. You can't give up Lucky, you will be allright. A donor will be found, think positive. I know this may be mainly for selfish reasons, but I'm not allowing you to die."
She smoothed the hair back from his face with one ahnd, and held on to his hand with the other. "Lucky, I know I promised to make dieing easier for you but I'm going to make it so damn hard you won't die. This isn't just for me anymore Lucky."
It was hard to speak over the lump in her throat, even unconsious it was so hard for her to do this.
"Lucky remmeber the first night we made love? It was the most incredinle experience of my life, but know something else ahs come from it. I'm pregnant Lucky, with your child."
"I know I'm young but I am going to welcome this child. It is the best of the two of us. But there is one thing I want. I want my child to have its father. I need you to fight Lucky, for yourself, for me, for you family adn all those who care about you, and for our unborn hild."
"Now just believe everyhting will be okay, a donor will be found, it has to be. I love you Lucky, more than anything adn you can not die! I WILL NOT ALLOW IT!" Liz had tried to be cool and collected but was becoming pretty emotional,"Now I'm going to let your family back in adn you are going to try your best to wake up. Please."
