A/N: This has NOTHING to do with my other story, Sometimes Love is Complicated. This takes place the week of Lucy's birthday, which I am guessing to be sometime in January. So let's say her birthday is Jan. 11th. Disclaimer: I do not own any characters on 7th heaven.If I did I would be living in a mansion.

It was a normal start for the day for Lucy and Kevin. Kevin woke up first. He looked at the alarm clock. It read in big blocky numbers, 6:00am. This was good for him since he didn't have to be at work until 9:30am. And all the college classes were out for the day. So for once he and Lucy would get to sleep in like normal people. He looked at Lucy, lying beside him, sleeping peacefully. While he was admiring her, he thought about her birthday. It was in less than a week and he had no idea of what the give to her. Lucy yawned and stretched her arms, freeing Kevin of his thoughts on perfect birthday gifts. He kissed her forehead and smiled at her. She smiled back.

"Good Morning" She said yawning softly.

"Morning to you too" He replied, now giving her his irresistible smile.

"What?" She asked, knowing he was thinking something when he gave the particular smile. The kind of smile where it makes your heart want to melt, although you know something is up.

"I was just wondering what you wanted for your birthday"

"Kevin, I told you as long as you think I would like it and it comes from your heart, I will love it. I promise" She replied.

"Okay, Okay" Kevin said climbing out of bed and heading for the shower.

"WAIT, A MINUTE, LADIES FIRST" Lucy said yelling from the bed, referring to him going into the shower. Kevin replied with a chuckle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- After the fight over the shower,(which Lucy had won) Kevin and Lucy headed into the kitchen. Where Annie was cooking and Ruthie was eating breakfast. "But why can't I get a double piercing?" Ruthie whined.

"Because, it doesn't look appropriate for a girl who's 13 years old." Annie replied with dignity in her voice. Ruthie stormed off into the living room after that remark and motioned for Lucy to follow. Once safely out of Annie's hearing range Ruthie began to speak to her older sister.

"You are going shopping at the promenade with Mom, right?" She whispered, quickly and quietly.

"Yes, why?"

"Well, I was thinking you could talk Mom into letting me get a double piercing, please?"

"I don't know, Ruthie, I really don't want to be in the middle of your problems." Lucy said, stating the facts.

"Please, I'll pay you cash."

" I don't want your money. Look I'll see what I can do but don't count on anything." Lucy said giving into her sister's request, figuring there was no way out of it.

"Thank you , thank you, thank you. You are the best sister in the universe!" Ruthie exclaimed as she bear hugged her sister.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." They both went back into the kitchen to finish eating with Kevin and Annie. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Later that day, Lucy and her mother had just finished up shopping and were just walking around the promenade. Lucy figured that this was an okay time to bring up the subject of Ruthie's double piercing. After all Annie did spend some money and seem to be pretty happy.

"Mom, I wanted to talk to you about letting Ruthie get a double piercing. Lucy said very nervous.

"I won't let her do it and I don't appreciate you sticking up for her." Annie replied irritated.

"But Mom-----" Lucy was cut off.

" But nothing. I don't want Ruthie doing that. I don't like you taking sides for her. I really thought you had more sense than that." Annie said storming off. Lucy was left in the promenade. Her tears were building up inside of her. But she knew she couldn't cry. Not here anyways. Not in front of all these people that were kind of nosy. For almost all of Glen Oak, except for a select few, were nosy. Then it incurred to Lucy, had her mother just called her senseless? Lucy felt something inside of her that knew she was senseless and foolish for even bringing up the incident with Ruthie. But still to be called it to her face and by her own mother really hurt. It really hurt.
