WLIE: Trials Of The Heart
Lucy was overjoyed as she left Dr. Neumann's office.
She was really going to have a baby. True it was not a planned pregnancy but it was still hers! She had a wonderful idea of how to tell Kevin. All she had to do was find all the candles she could find. Some erotic appetizers (sans mussels!) and invite Kevin over to her place for a little seduction.
Before she left the hospital she dropped by Kevin's office.
Crystal, his secretary, told Lucy that he was in session and that she could leave a message with her.
So Lucy wrote out the following message.. ''Doc, My place. 6:00. Come alone and don't bring anything with you. All my love, Lucy.''
True it was cryptic but that was one of her many talents. She thanked Crystal and left the hospital. Her first stop was the Outback. She had to pick up some stuff she had ordered for that night.
''Planning a big party huh Lucy?'' Kristen asked.''From the amount of food you have ordered, I would say that you have been planning for a large crowd.''
''Nope. It is just me and Doc tonight. I have some news that he will be very excited about and hopefully respond in a very amourous way..if you know what I mean.'' Lucy grinned.''And I know you do!''
''Have fun.''
''Oh I guarentee you Kristen I plan to!''

It had been about four hours since Alex left and Angelique checked wtih Mac and he said that Alex should have been back by then.
''What was the assignment?'' Angelique asked.''Hostage situation? Homicide? What?''
''It was a drug bust and the dealer was armed.'' Mac said.''A report came in just a while ago saying that someone was shot.''
''WHO?'' Angelique asked. Praying that it was not her Alex, she asked.''It was not Alex was it?''
''Honestly, Angelique I don't know.'' Mac said. He started to try to calm her down when Rachelle Davison walked in.
''I know who was shot. It was Alex Garcia.'' Rachelle said.''He wanted me to tell Angelique to meet him at GH.''
When Angelique heard this she started to feel lightheaded and lost her grip on the desk she was leaning against and passed out on the cold, hard police station floor.
''ANGELIQUE wake up! Alex is not in critical condition. He told me to make sure you were okay. He told to also tell you that he loves you and needs you.'' Rachelle said. ''PLEASE WAKE UP!''
When Angelique heard the words ''He loves you and needs you.'' she started to climb back into conciousness. She had to get to GH. And fast. True Alex's injuries might not be life threatening but when someone close to another person the injuries always seem more serious than they really are.

Kevin and Lynne had just finished their session and Lynne was more at ease with the situation than she was eariler. True she still did not know what to do about the Ryan situation but at least she was not as confused as she was before.
They said good night and went their separate ways. Kevin was happy to know that she was better off than she was about two hours ago, after the confrontation.
During the confrontation something did not seem the same about Lucy. She was more high strung than usual. But he dismissed it as being a reaction to seeing Lynne with Ryan.
On his way back to his office Crystal stopped him.
''Dr. Collins, Lucy was here earlier. She wanted to go into your office but I did what you said and did not let her in. She left this for you. Do you know what it means? I generally don't look at your messages but this one is obviously cryptic in a code you and her would only understand.'' Crystal said.
Looking at the paper in his hand Kevin read the note. Then he smiled when he realized what Lucy was planning. She could be so mysterious when she wanted to be. This was one of those times.
''All she is doing is inviting me over to her place for a quiet dinner for two.'' Kevin said winking at Crystal.''There is nothing more to that note than what I told you.''
Crystal giggled.''If you say so. But if you don't mind me saying so, doesn't Lucy look different to you somehow?''
Laughing now, Kevin said,''Crystal, with Lucy you have to define your meaning of different. She changes all the time.''
Later that hour, Kevin arrived at Lucy's house. Before he could say anything she enveloped him in an embrace and kissed him with all the love and energy she had in her soul.
''Come in Doc.'' she purred.''Today I was feeling really good and decided to seduce you for once.''
Then something caught his eye.
The flowers in her hair were babie's breath. The song on the radio was ''Oh Baby I love your ways.'' and to top it off there was a very interesting picture on the coffee table that caught his eye.
''Uh...Lucy? Is there something you want to tell me?'' Kevin asked.
''Why would you say that?''
''Because I am getting the feeling that there is a theme in the works here. Mind telling me what it is?''
''Alright. Doc come sit down. My appointment was with Dr. Neumann.'' Lucy said.''A few days ago I had a blood test done to confirm something that I have been thinking might be going on. The test results came back positive. Did I mention that it was a pregnancy test?''
Kevin was speachless. ''You mean? We're going to have a baby?''
''Well I will be doing most of the work but yeah. I am two months pregnant.'' Lucy said.''Gee I thought my hints were of the not so subtle kind. Why didn't you at least try to guess the theme?''
''Because I wanted you to tell me yourself. I love you and I love our baby already. Lynne is going to have a brother or sister.''
''I love you too.''
Then Kevin claimed Lucy's lips in his and they kissed and kissed for hours on end with tears of joy mixed in.

Connie was still worried that Grace would come to the hospital and look for her. She was also afraid because she knew the consequences of being disloyal to Grace.
She was hesitant to even pair up with Grace, because she knew that she was a manipulative, compulsive liar and that she had been in and out of mental hospitals all of her life. Connie actually felt sorry for Grace.
And only agreed to get Kevin back with Grace after Grace told her that she would get Ryan back as well.
Connie knew what was at stake and she had already made progress. She destroyed Ryan's marriage to Lynne and caused Lynne to miscarry thusly, in Connie's mind anyway, severing all ties to Ryan that Lynne thought she had.
The funny thing was that Ryan did not know her true identity. He only thought of her as a love-sick intern named Tamera Malone who managed to destroy his life.
''Dr. Malone, you have a call on line 3. Dr. Malone you have a call on line 3.''
The announcement made her even more nervous than she already was.
''Hello? This is Dr. Malone.'' Connie said.
''Connie! It's Grace. Why didn't you tell me?'' Grace said.
''Tell you what?'' Connie said.''I told you everything that needed to be told.''
''Oh. So I guess you thought that Lucy Coe's being pregnant was not worth mentioning.'' Grace hissed.''Give you two guesses as to who the father is.''
''Lucy's pregnant?'' Connie said.''Honestly Grace, I did not know that until you told me. I swear. Let me guess, Kevin is the father.''
''Bingo!'' Grace said.

''Hold your horses I'm coming!'' Charlene yelled at the door.
When she opened the door she was surprised to see Lynne standing there. Charlene smiled. She was glad her long lost neice had come back to clear the air. At least that is what she HOPED Lynne was there for.
''Can I come in or is this a bad time?'' Lynne asked.
''No come in. I am sorry! Where is my manners today. Lynne girl you are going to have to forgive my actions on your last visit. I was sufferin' from severe jet lag and Decker's wife is leaving him so I had to handle negotiations between those two. Will ya forgive me?'' Charlene said.
''I did not know you had anything to appologize for?'' Lynne said smiling.''If anyone should be asking forgiveness it is me. I was rotten toward you. I hope we can be friends. I have wanted to find my family for a long time.''
''Me too Lynne girl!'' Charlene said.''Me too.''
