Kevin
and Lucy smiled then they walked out of the room and shut the door.
As Kevin and Lucy walked out of Savannah's room and were headed
downstairs.
Lucy turned to Kevin. "You can't quit your job I know how much you like watching Savannah but the police station needs you besides Savannah is actually starting to like daycare" Lucy said to him.
"No Luce I have it all worked out I'm quitting my job and starting my own baby-sitting business" Kevin said.
"What?" Lucy said shocked.
"I don't like being a detective its just too much pressure but I do like baby-sitting so that's what I'm going to do Mrs. Kearns the next door neighbor plus some guys at work already said they would let me watch their kids it's perfect" Kevin said he had a huge smile on his face.
"Your really happy about this?" Lucy asked.
Kevin nodded "Luce this is something I have always dreamed about".
Lucy sighed she didn't like the idea a babysitting business? It sounded crazy to her. And plus how much money would Kevin make if he started this business? He would make more if he stuck with his police detective job.
"Look Kevin I know you really want to do this but I think you should wait a few years wait until this little baby's…Lucy patted her stomach older and Savannah gets a chance to be in daycare she finished.
"Can I do it this summer?" Kevin asked.
"Maybe we'll talk I was thinking we could enroll Savannah in some preschools this summer" Lucy said.
"Great, prefect I'll take it now I'm going to go take a shower and thanks again Luce you're the best" Kevin said smiling he patted her arm and walked off towards the bathroom.
Lucy watched him go thinking is this the right thing to do.
She needed help and she knew the right person to call she walked off downstairs and into the kitchen.
She picked up the kitchen phone and dialed her parent's number.

"Good morning" Annie greeted him.
"Hi David ready for another day of school?" Eric asked.
David nodded and walked over the cabinet he pulled out a piece of bread and tossed in the toaster.
"did you hear I'm thinking about trying out for the football team?" David asked.
"No we hadn't heard that" Annie said.
"When are try outs?" Eric asked.

"I think you should try out son it will be good for you" Eric told David.
"Yah that was thinking" David said.
"I don't know David football can be rough" Annie questioned.
"He'll be fine Annie" Eric informed his wife giving a kiss on the top of her head.
"Are you sure?" Annie asked.
"Yes" Eric said. "I'll wear lots of pads Mom" David informed her.
"You better I don't want my baby to get hurt" Annie stated.
David's toast popped up David grabbed it and started separating butter on it then he sat down around the island and started eating it.
Just then Sam came downstairs "Hi all" he said.
"Hey Sam" Eric said.
"Hi Sam how are you this morning?" Annie asked him.
"Good" Sam said walking over to the fridge he got out the milk.
"Sam's not trying out for any sports" David said.
"That's okay Sam doesn't have to play sports" Annie stated.
"Yes he does other wise he'll be loser" David said.
"Excuse me?" Annie said.
"I won't be a loser Sam snapped.
"Yes you will and you won't have any friends" David stated.
"I have friends" Sam said.
David rolled his eyes "yeah you have friends loser friends"
"Boys that's it cut this out Sam doesn't have to play sports to have friends" Eric said putting his hands up.
David and Sam both looked at him.
"Whatever I'm off to school" David said grabbing a apple and starting to walk out the door.
"Wait David aren't you going to wait for your brother" Annie asked putting her hand on David's shoulder stopping him from walking.
"No see you later" David stated Annie removed her hand and he walked the rest of the way out the back door.
Annie watched them go thinking that was odd.
"He never wants to do anything with me any more" Sam said grabbing a banana and eating it.
"Really?" Annie asked surprised.
"Yeah he wants different friends and doesn't sit next to me in class or wants to sit next to me at lunch" Sam stated.
"And how does that make you feel?" Annie wondered.
"I don't care" Sam said shrugging he threw his backpack over his shoulder. "Bye" he said as he walked out the back door.
"My boys are growing up" Annie said turning to Eric.
Eric nodded "they security are"
"I don't know how I feel about that?" Annie stated.
"Annie you did know they were going to grow up eveally and separate from each other you can't feel that bad" Eric said.
"Yeah I guess I knew I just didn't think it would be this soon Eric their only in the fourth grade" Annie said.
