The Greatest Gift of All
Chapter 3
Lucy, Ben, Patti-Mary, and Susan made their way out of the airport parking lot, and Lucy began driving toward the hotel where the Kinkirk's would be staying.
"Hey, Luce, is your mom home?" Ben asked curiously from the backseat.
"Yeah, she should be."
"Let's stop by your place first. It'll be good to see your mom again."
"Ok," she agreed.
A few minutes later they pulled into the driveway and got out of the car. Lucy and the other three walked up to the front door and stepped inside.
"Lucy! Is that you?" Annie called out from another room.
"Yes!"
"I'm in the living room."
Lucy headed into the Camden living room. "SURPRISE!" a crowd of women yelled out. Lucy stopped in her tracks with a shocked look on her face.
"What's this?" she asked in surprise.
"It's your bridal shower, silly." Mary told her.
"Oh, my." Lucy was speechless for a moment. "How did you guys keep this from me?" she finally asked.
"Piece of cake," Ruthie smiled.
Lucy turned around to the Kinkirks. "Did you guys know about this?"
They nodded with smiles on their faces. "Your mom called me," Susan admitted
"You were all in on this? Wow! I can't believe it." Lucy's eyes widened as she looked around the room. Everyone was there. Her mom, Mary, Ruthie, Sarah, Aunt Julie, her grandmothers who has arrived the day before, Sarah's mother, Cecilia, a bunch of ladies from the church, and now Patty-Mary and Susan. Everyone! The room was beautifully decorated with lots of bows and streamers. Off to one corner there was a pile of gifts just waiting to be opened. Lucy felt like she was about to cry and laugh at the same time.
Annie walked up to her middle daughter. "What are you thinking?"
"I don't know. You guys are the best!" She hugged her mother.
"Well, then, what do you say we get started with this party?"
Susan and Patti-Mary walked into the living room to join the rest of the group leaving Ben standing in the doorway. "Hey! What about me?"
Everyone laughed. "You can stay if you want, Ben?" Lucy grinned at him.
"Yeah, we could use you," Ruthie added from the floor over by the pile of gifts.
Ben looked at Ruthie hesitantly, "How so?"
"Somebody needs to be our model for the toilet paper wedding dress." Ruthie smiled evilly.
"No way! No way! I'm not staying!"
"You don't have to," Annie interjected and glanced behind Ben where Simon and Robbie had just appeared. "Simon and Robbie agreed to take you out somewhere. They didn't care to stay either."
"Hey, Ben," Simon said. "Let's blow this joint and go have some fun."
"Now this I'll do," he pointed at the guys. "Let's get out of here before they have us modeling Lucy's lingerie." The boys quickly left.
"Now that's a sight I didn't care to imagine," Mary grimaced while the others laughed.
Lucy and Annie moved over to the chairs and sat down to begin Lucy's surprise bridal shower.
