Authors Note: I wrote this before Cecilia and Mark broke up, which I don't remember happening on the show. All of a sudden Cecilia and Simon were dating and Mark was never mentioned again. Anyone know about that? Anyways I just thought I'd let you know that Cecilia and Mark are still together in this fic.

*********** Chapter One

"Did you father Claire's baby?" Lucy demanded furiously as she slammed the door to Simon's room. Simon looked up at her, shocked.

"What?" he yelled back just as loud. He stood up, alarmed at her accusation.

Lucy stepped closer to him. "You heard me."

"You don't know what you're talking about," he told her simply.

"We both know what I'm talking about," Lucy screamed. "It's true isn't it? They were right? You are the father!"

"Who's 'they'"?

"It doesn't matter!"

"Yes it does!"

"No, it does not! Wait a second. You just want to know who it was so that you can be known as Mr. Macho Man for getting some!"

"That is not true!" Simon could not believe Lucy was saying these things. She really didn't know what she was talking about.

"That makes me sick, Simon! You need to GROW UP!"

"I'm not the father!"

"I can't believe you would go out and get a girl pregnant and then deny it! I cannot believe what a JERK you've turned into! So what happened to your baby, huh? Give it up for adoption? I'll bet that was just fine with you. That way you wouldn't have to own up to your mistakes!"

"For the last time--,"

"SHUT UP!" Lucy screamed, not caring if her parents burst through the door at any time. She was not in the mood to hear Simon's excuses. "You have a lot of growing up to do, Simon Camden. I'm ashamed to call you my brother!"

Lucy stormed out of Simon's room and was surprised that he did not follow her. 'He knows I'm right,' she thought. 'What a jerk.'

"I'll see you tomorrow," Kevin smiled as he kissed Lucy goodbye.

"Be careful," she ordered, a small line of worry etching her face. She always hated it when Kevin worked the night shift, especially since his partner was a female. When any danger would come their way, which Lucy was sure it eventually would, Kevin would get the brunt of it to protect Roxanne.

"I always am," he reassured her. She smiled softly as she watched him go. When he was gone she thought back to her fight with Simon. Should she tell her parents? They'd be incredibly disappointed in Simon but they could do something. They could send him to the live with the Colonel, or something to that effect. Simon might never forgive her for telling them, but at least his life would be back on track.

Simon had already left. It was a Friday night and he went out with Cecilia and her new boyfriend, Mark. At least she could be sure Simon wouldn't get into any trouble with them.

Lucy decided to take a walk before talking to her parents. It was a nice night and she could get some fresh air and a chance to think.

Lucy roamed through the park for awhile before settling for a bench. Thoughts of Kevin overwhelmed her and she couldn't help a smile. She knew his proposal would come soon and she could hardly wait for it. She kept thinking about where and when it would come. Daydreams constantly floated through her mind.

In the background, sirens blared, so faint that Lucy almost couldn't hear them. She wondered what was going on and prayed that Kevin was safe.

"Are you Lucy Camden?" a girl, now standing in front of her, asked timidly.

"Yes, I am. Do I know you?"

"Well, kind of. I go to your father's church sometimes. I go to school with your brother, Simon."

"Oh! Well, it's nice to meet you. What's your name?"

"Claire."
