Okay - I think I forgot to mention this in the last chapter - Kevin and
Lucy made it very clear to Sara that she didn't have to call them mommy and
daddy - but she insisted.
To everyone: Thanks so much for the reviews - and I'm sorry that it's taking me awhile to update - but you wouldn't believe how much homework I have - I'm taking AP Spanish IV, honors English, AP world history, honors Chemistry, honors Algebra II, and sign language - and I have had to work my butt off - and as of right now - but the funny thing is - I love it! I love being busy and having a lot of things to do, but as always school gets to be my first priority - so the updates are not going to be that frequent - I'll probably only get a chance to update on the weekends - and days like this - when I had like 5 tests, so I don't have much homework. Lol - okay, enough complaining - you probably don't care :) - On with the story!
Chapter 2 - So? What's for dinner?
"The hotdogs!" Lucy cried, running into the kitchen which was filled with smoke. As soon as Lucy entered the room, she began coughing. Kevin who was right at her heels, quickly grasped her shoulders and pulled her out of the kitchen. He then ran back into the kitchen, turning off the stove - luckily a fire had not started, but the hotdogs were very black. Kevin opened all the windows and after most of the smoke cleared, returned to the living room.
"Is everything okay?" Lucy asked immediately.
Kevin smiled - "everything except the hotdogs."
Sara looked up at him sadly, "the hotdogs are ruined?" she asked - her voice showing the disappointment she felt.
"I'm sorry Sara." Lucy said sadly, wishing she hadn't forgotten them, she then turned back to Kevin, "did they actually start on fire?" she asked, worried.
Kevin gently pulled her close to him, "no, they were just very very burnt."
Lucy laughed, "so, what's for dinner?" she asked, looking at Kevin.
"Why don't we go walk around the promenade - we could eat at the hotdog stand - and then go to the dairy shack?" Sara immediately jumped up. (Okay - so obviously I don't know much about hotdogs - is there such a thing as a 'hot dog' stand?)
"Yay!" she said happily, running upstairs to put her shoes and jacket on.
After making the suggestion Kevin immediately felt guilty, and turned back to his wife, "Is that okay with you? Maybe I could just take Sara and bring you back something?" Lucy smiled at his concern, "no it's okay."
Kevin smiled, kissing her once more, "I love you."
Lucy smiled, "I love you too."

At the promenade
Sara ran ahead of Lucy and Kevin - who were holding hands.
"Mommy, Daddy, Come on! We're almost there!" She cried, excitedly, as they reached the hotdog stand.
After they ate, they walked around a little while longer - and eventually ended up at the diary shack. Since it was the middle of summer the line was really long, but they decided to wait anyways.
"I'm going to go sit down. Get me a hot fudge sundae" Lucy said tiredly, pointing to a nearby table. Kevin smiled gently wrapping his arms around her before she left, "okay." He said kissing her forehead as she walked away.
"Daddy? Can I go sit with mommy?" Sara asked, pulling on Kevin's sleeve.
Kevin turned to her, "and leave me all alone?" he asked laughing
Sara looked worried, "I just didn't want mommy and the baby to be alone."
Kevin smiled, "sure. What do you want me to get you?"
Sara thought for a moment, "a hot fudge sundae, just like mommy."
"You got it." Kevin replied as Sara walked toward Lucy.
Lucy smiled as Sara sat down next to her, "are you tired of standing too?"
"No. I just didn't want you to be alone." Lucy smiled at Sara, "I love you." She said. But as she was looking at Sara someone at a nearby table caught her eye.
