Chapter One
Lucy was trying to calm Savannah down who had the flu and was very fussy the night that the Camden family changed forever. Kevin was out working in the streets with his new partner Jason. It was a busy night at the police station. Many arrests had been made, so Kevin had to stay late for work. Lucy began to get worried about him. Lucy had been very worried about Kevin lately because he has been working extra hard on an important case. Lucy thinks that Kevin is trying to compete secretly with his partner Jason because he misses Roxanne. Also, Jason seems like a threat because he is a great Police Officer.
On top of her being worried about Kevin, taking care of her first child is very difficult. Savannah has been ill for a while now and the medication hasn't helped. Savannah's fever is 101.8. If it gets any higher, Lucy is taking her to the hospital.
"BRINGGGGGGG!" The sound of the telephone startles Lucy. Its Kevin calling to ease Lucy's worries a little. He tells Lucy about the case. It's a drug catch in Down Town Glen Oak which is a little while away. He should be home around 1 AM. Lucy goes to check baby Savannah's temperature again.
"OH MY GOODNESS!" Savannah's temperature was 103.5!
She has no idea what she's about to see as she is rushing to the car.
Annie and Eric were celebrating Sam and David's fifth birthday. No one ever cared about this, so Eric and Annie decided to celebrate without the rest of the family since everyone seemed to have plans. Lucy was home with Savannah, Mary was in New Jersey, and Simon was, well, being Simon. Ruthie was on a date with Nathan, and Matt was out working.
"ERICCC! Its cake time!" They sang Happy Birthday, ate cake, opened presents and had a jolly ole time being a happy SMALL family. Annie goes to call Mary when Eric and the twins hear a strange noise coming from outside.
Ruthie was on a date with her boyfriend Nathan at the Promenade, where Martin was also on a date with Sami, his old girlfriend who came back to visit him from Texas where Martin last lived. They both have no idea that they are eating at the same restaurant.
Ruthie and Nathan leave the restaurant to go home when Nathan looks up and yells "OH MY GOD!" Ruthie looks up to see what he's looking at and screams.
In Iraq, some troops are being let go. Roxanne patiently waits to see if she can return to her family in Glen Oak. "Veronica Saunders, Jessica Miranda, you can leave", said the sergeant. Roxanne was praying to be let go, as she just got a serious injury from being shot in the stomach. She had had enough of the Army. When thankfully, "Roxanne Richardson", is called.
Mary was living in New Jersey with Carlos and her son. He was to start daycare tomorrow so that Mary could go back to working as a flight attendant. Suddenly she receives a phone call from Glen Oak, CA. She picks up hears a scream and the phone goes dead. She is very worried because caller ID said it was her mom and dad. She calls back and the phone lines in Glen Oak are all dead. She turns on the TV to the news, only to find out something devastating. She gets ready to leave the house very worried about her family, to fly herself to Glen Oak. Carlos walks in and on the TV there is a report about a tsunami.
