~Fate~
By: Melissa
(Our story begins at the lighthouse comfy and cozy under the covers the very same place we left off Friday)
Kevin: Did you hear that?
Lucy: Yeah I did. Maybe you should go check it out.
K: (reluctant) hmm
L: It could be a burglar…
K: Let then have what they want I have all I need right here
L: ...Or a murderer
K: (smiles) Good at least I’ll die happy
L: Kevin Collins!
K: Yes?
L: (rolling off him) Move it bub.
K: (sighing) Yes ma’am (putting on clothes) you know I almost forgot how pushy you can be. (kneels down for a kiss)
L: Mmm and I almost forgot what a good kisser you are (smiles) I’ll be waiting.
K: (smile) I’ll be quick (walks outside)
Ian: Eve! Eve, can you hear me?
Eve: (groans) yeah, unfortunately. Could you keep it down?
I: Oh, you must have nine lives Lambert you know that? (picks her up) c’mon we’re getting you to a hospital.
Kevin: (rushing over) What happen… Eve? Ian? But you’re both dead!
I: Well apparently not quite. Now please help me get her into the cab. We have to get her to a hospital
K: Wait, how? Why? (watches Eve’s eyes slowly close)
I: I’ll explain everything to you after we get her to GH.
K: (frantically looking back to the lighthouse remembering Lucy) Okay you take her I’ll follow you in my car I have to take care of something first.
I: (nodding getting Eve into the cab) Alright.
K: (rushing back into the lighthouse frantic) Eve!
L: What? No Doc I’m Lucy…
K: No, Eve was just in an accident! Lucy, she’s alive Ian’s bringing her to GH right now. C’mon get dressed we’ll take my car.
L: I… okay I’ll be right out (begins to get dressed)
K: I’ll wait outside.
L: (nodding) okay (Kevin leaves Lucy who picks up a picture of Eve) Oh, you’ve really done it this time haven’t you? Well, I hate to break it to you Eve but he will always be my Doc. Always. I love him more than you could ever even dream possible and he needs me. You hear that? He needs me. (shakes her head) He loves me and that’s all that’s going to matter in the end of all of this. We have fate on our side and even you can’t change that. (leaves)
(Kevin and Lucy both rush into the ER. Kevin stops at the nurses’ station.)
K: Where’s Eve?
Nurse: They’re checking her out now. (Kevin nods)
L: C’mon Doc sit down (leads Kevin to a chair holding his hand)
K: She’s alive, Lucy. She’s been alive this whole time and I didn’t even know. The DNA report said they were dead. You saw it…
L: (guiltily) Yeah, I did. Doc?
K: What?
L: You remember a very, very long time ago when you swore to me that you’d be honest with me no matter how much it hurts and I swore to do the same with you.
K: Yes, why?
L: (tears in her eyes) Because I have something to tell you and I have a feeling it’s going to hurt
K: (focusing his attention on Lucy) Lucy, What is it?
L: Doc, I…(A doctor interrupts)
Doctor: I’m sorry to interrupt but Dr. Collins we’re done checking out your wife. Everything appears to be fine. She’s with Dr. Thornheart now but she’s asking for you.
K: Alright (To Lucy) I’ll be right back.
L: Promise?
K: (realizing what she means looks into her eyes) Lucy, I meant everything I said back at the lighthouse. But Eve is my wife and…
L: (sadly)…and you love her
K: (placing his fingers over her lips) And I owe her an explanation on why we can’t be together
L: Doc, you don’t mean?
K: Oh Lucy I mean it with every part of my soul. (kiss - whisper) I love you.
L: (through tears) I love you too Doc. Its like I’ve loved you for all eternity.
K: (kiss) Face it Ms. Coe we are meant to be.
L: (smiles) Fate.
K: (nods in agreement) Fate. (kisses her one last time before leaving to see Eve)
(Kevin knocks lightly on Eve’s door then enters)
Eve: (looks at Ian who is sitting right next to her bed) Umm… Ian could you gives us a minute.
Ian: Sure (leans over kisses Eve’s forehead then leaves as Kevin watches suspiciously)
E: Hi you.
K: Hey. (smiles) I’m happy you’re alive.
E: Oh me too. C’mere. (hugs)
K/E: Listen I have something to tell you
K/E: Go ahead
K: I’m still in love Lucy
E: I’m in love Ian
K/E: (startled) What?!
K: Wait, did you just say you’re in love with Ian? You mean that Irish doctor Ian?
E: Yeah I did listen Kevin I’m really… wait a second! Didn’t you just say your still in love with Lucy? Your backstabbing ex-fiancée, Lucy?
K: (laughs) Wait just a minute, you love Ian. And I love Lucy?
E: Yeah what’s so funny?
K: We’re married for god sakes!
E: Listen Kevin I’m sorry…
K: (laughing) Sorry? No don’t be sorry I mean we’re going to be happy aren’t we.
E: Well I am.
K: Me too. (serious) We had some good times, Eve.
E: (nodding) Yeah we did. (smiles) Good luck, Kevin.
K: (smiles) You too. (kiss) Goodbye.
E: Bye.
(Kevin exits as Ian reenters)
I: (looking back to Kevin) Well he doesn’t seem to be taking it too bad.
E: Why should he be? He’s in love I’m in love, your in love… we’re all in love. And most importantly I’m all yours. (kiss)
I: Finally.
E: Finally?
I: I’ve been waiting my whole life for this.
E: (smiles) Me too. (more kisses..)
