Fan Fiction ❯ Love Powers All: Life or Death? ❯ Surviving Memories ( Chapter 9 )

Love Powers All: Life or Death?

A/N- I'm glad that you all like this fanfic so far and thank you for reviewing the fic. It's Tuesday and I'm surprised I'm able to post this on a week day, but I'm happy that I was able too! Here are some answers to reviews to everyone who reviewed chapter 9:

Snoopy22- Most endings to fanfics are "and they lived happily ever after" endings which is why I was wondering whether I should or not. The idea in my evil little head isn't going to have to do with anyone dying, including Samantha, but then again right when I just typed that I thought maybe she can survive, but at the end she'll die. I won't do that though. Thanks for your review and thought.

Babs567- It's alright and you're welcome for using your idea…half the chapter was yours because of the idea. Thanks for reviewing!

Lucykwinner- I'm glad you love this fanfic so far. Thanks for reviewing!

I just spent almost 10 minutes replying to reviews even though I type quickly…I had to think of what do say…on with the fic!

Disclaimer- I don't own 7th Heaven…..-sniffles-

Summary- Will Samantha come out of the hospital alive? What will happen to Melanie? What about Thomas?

The title of the fic goes well together, but I'm going to explain it since you all probably think it means memories that everyone remembers, but it's not. `Surviving' is for Melanie and Samantha (maybe) surviving and `Memories' is for memories that everyone will have. I just thought I'd tell everyone that.

Chapter 9- Surviving Memories

"Samantha what, Lucy," Matt hugged Lucy.

"She might…she might now…survive." He voice shook as she said the words survive.

Matt hugged her for a little bit longer and then sat next to Sarah. All of them were thinking of the wonderful times they had with the two people who were now in a hospital room. Even if they didn't have many memories of Melanie and Samantha, they still had some.

Lucy had a hard time finding a good position in the seat she sat in. She kept moving and changing the way she sat until Kevin hugged her. He was just as worried as she was and didn't want to have to lose their first daughter. The same thought traveled through their mind.

-Flashback-

Kevin walked into Lucy's room. Lucy's face was almost red, but she was smiling down at a bundle in her arms. It was Samantha. Lucy looked up and saw Kevin and gave him a wider grinned. She waved for Kevin to come closer.

"Kevin," She started with a soft voice, "I don't think this is Jake's baby. I think Dr. Daniels was wrong."

"What makes you think that?"

"Like Dr. Daniels said, she looked a lot like me, but she has your eyes. She doesn't look anything like Jake." Kevin was smiling and hugged Lucy, "And I'm glad I quit school for our baby and not mine and Jake's."

"I'll go tell everyone."

Kevin ran out of Lucy's room with the biggest grin on his face. Everyone could tell he was happy, "Lucy and Samantha Jessica Kinkirk are ready for visitors.

"What do you mean Kinkirk?"

"It turns out Samantha is my baby. Lucy noticed that she didn't have any of your features and she has my eyes."

Everyone congratulated Kevin with a hug and went into Lucy's room, except for Jake. Kevin watched Jake, "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Jake walked through the crowd and congratulated Lucy, but then left before Lucy had a chance to reply.

The Camden's left and let Lucy, Kevin, and Samantha have time for each other. Lucy would be coming home the next day and Kevin wanted to say bye to Lucy before he went back to their house to start on the nursery.

"Lucy, thank you."

"For what?"

"For giving me the best gift,"

"You're welcome," She laughed, "But you gave me the best gift too."

-Flashback Ends-

They both smiled for a little bit until they got the painful memory that they hoped wouldn't come back soon. It was the memory of the day Samantha got kidnapped.

There was only one memory that everyone, but Kevin, Ben, and Mary remembered in the room. It was the memory of when Melanie and Jake came to the Camden's that way the family would meet Jake and his mother. They had also met Thomas there, but then he was the nicest man Melanie could ever be with besides her husband.

-Flashback-

Lucy rushed to the door as the doorbell rang, "I'll get it!" She yelled so she could let everyone continue what they were doing and swung the door open. Jake Anderson, his mother Melanie Anderson, and her boyfriend Thomas Hendricks were standing at the door smiling. Jake walked in and kissed Lucy on the cheek before he hung his and his mother's coat up.

"Hey Jake," She smiled, "Hi Mrs. Anderson and Thomas."

"Hey Lucy," Jake said.

"It's nice to finally see you Lucy. I've heard so much about you." Melanie smiled at Lucy as she shook her hand.

Lucy led the two to the kitchen where everyone was ready and waiting for the three to arrive at the table for prayers. Simon and Cecilia were sitting next to each other and next to them were Matt and Sarah. At one end of the table was Eric and on the other was Annie. On the other side of the table sat Ruthie, Melanie, Thomas, Jake, and then Lucy. Finally, on both sides of Annie sat Sam and David.

There were plates in front of everyone and food was lain out on the table. There was steak, hot dogs, mashed potatoes, corn, salad, green beans, and more. Melanie gazed at the table in astonishment.

"This looks great, Annie."

"Thank you, Melanie!" Annie said cheerfully before Eric started the prayer.

Eric bowed his head and when he was sure everyone else had he started the prayer, "Dear Lord, Thank you for the meal that sits in front of us and thank you for our wonderful guest's Jake and Melanie Anderson. Amen." Everyone put their heads up after saying Amen and then started to fill their plates.

The night was filled with laughter and fun and everyone seemed to love the Anderson's and Thomas Hendricks.

-Flashback Ends-

-----

Thomas had just been thrown into the cell and locked in. He had been forced to change into the dirty black suit that the prisoners were supposed to wear. He was currently sitting on the bed thinking. Plan B, was what he was busy thinking about…and he planned to think about it until he figured out the answer.

If I can't have Samantha…then I'll have to go with the threat. He thought with a grin sneaking on his face

-----

The doctor, Dr. Smith, walked into the waiting room, "Melanie Anderson?" Matt stood up.

"Is she ok, Doctor?" He asked.

"I'm afraid not." Dr. Smith sighed, "She's lost too much blood and she'll only be surviving for a few more hours. If you want, you can visit her, though." Matt nodded and he and Sarah followed him.

Mary stood up, "I'm going to call home and tell them what's going on." She walked towards the payphone and started to call everyone in her family, including Jake since he was Melanie's son.

Lucy, Kevin, and Ben sat quietly and anxiously waiting for Samantha's doctor to come out.

-----

The phone rang and Annie ran to pick it up, "Hello?"

"Hey Mom, this is Mary."

"Oh, Hi Mary" Annie paused noticing the sound of Mary's voice, "What's wrong?"

"Samantha and Melanie are in the hospital."

Annie was stunned, "How?"

"Thomas hurt Melanie with a knife and she'll only survive for a few hours since she lost so much blood."

"What about Samantha?"

"Well we haven't heard about her yet, but Thomas dropped her and starved her."

"What,"

"Mom, I have to go." Mary hung up before Annie even had a chance to say bye.

-----

Jake looked up as a police officer walked over to his cell, "Anderson, you have a phone call." He got up and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi Jake, this is Mary, Lucy's sister."

"Is something wrong?"

"Your mom is in the hospital…Thomas hurt her with a knife and she lost too much blood….she'll only survive for a few more days.

"Oh." He was silent, "I should go now." He hung up the phone.

-----

Mary sat back in her chair in the waiting room just as a different doctor walked in. Everyone looked at him with question in their eyes and you could see how anxious they were to know what was going on.

"Samantha Kinkirk,"

"Is she ok? Is anything wrong? What's…"

"Mrs. Kinkirk, calm down. Your daughter should be …"

A/N- There are two ENORMOUS reasons why I ended this chapter. The first reason is because I have an evil little mind and I just had to make a cliffy for you, I had just finished the part where Lucy and Kevin found out about Samantha, when I decided: What the heck? I need a nice cliffy sometime in this fic. For the second reason, it's because I have to go soon…I'm just really happy I finished this chapter on the same day I started it…and it's a weekday which makes me even happier!
