Lucy POV

I've been sleeping a lot. There's nothing I can do really. I can't read. I can't watch tv. I've been going crazy. Someone just walked in.  “Hello?”

“It's just me honey.” She was my nurse.

“Cathy I'm going crazy I need to do something.”

“Your friend dropped off a little surprise a few hours ago and said to give it to you when you got bored. I think this is the time he was talking bout. You wait here honey and ill grab it for ya.” Her footsteps leave and then are back. I hear a click and suddenly the guys voices come out of whatever is playing.

“Thank you Cathy.”

“You're welcome honey. Now you just rest and listen to this here music.”  Her footsteps leave. I listen to the music. It's great to hear their voices. Then a voice recording comes on. Or so I thought.

“Hey Lucy.” It's Jack. “Lucy Lucy? Ya there?” I start laughing.

“Lucy Merrick. Do not laugh at me. And you're in so much trouble for getting married without me by the way. Lucy hello? Are you gonna talk or what?”

“You're a recording.”

“No I'm not.”

“Prove it.”

“Ok ask me a question”

“What is my maiden name?”

“Ryan's you idiot.”

“How many fingers am I holding up.”

“Lucy it's only audio. Not video.”

“Oh my god. Are we skyping?”

“Yes.”

“How did the music play then?”

“I hooked up a camera in your living room   Only you and I know about it. So you can talk and listen. There's a button you press when you wanna talk. As for the music I was playing it to test the audio and so your nurse wouldn’t take it away. She’s scary!”

“She’s not scary, she’s sweet.”

“Lucy she’s a 40 year old African American women from Louisiana, she’s the 4th of 8 kids.  She’s afraid of no man and is used to fightin’ with people for what she wants and she don’t lose. Her words not mine.”

“That explains the accent. Jack you are amazing. Where is everyone?”.

“Asleep. Lucy it's midnight.”

“I can't tell time right now. That would explain why Cathy was dragging her feet.”

“We love you Lucy. Please get better. Zack's a wreck without you.”

“Jack promise me you'll take care of him.”

“I will I promise.”

“Where is he?”

“Asleep in your chair.”

“Awww Jack he's outside. At least make him go to bed.”

“He refuses to go in your guys bedroom and he can't look at Sunday or the boys. He came home tonight and drank till he dropped on the back porch. He needs you. I haven't seen him this bad since the day you left him 7 years ago.”

“Make him sleep inside at least.”

“Ok Lucy. I'll try.”

“Thank you Jack.”
