(*A/N *) Wilson, Mary, and Kyle have left. I might put Christine in the Chapter. I am going up to 11 chapters and then this story will be finished.

(Chapter 8 – 4 months later.)

                        (Lucy's P.O.V)

            It was an ordinary day. Mary was gone and everything had settled down a lot. Christine and I had more time to talk. My dad had been helping her with her problems. Everything was going normal. I was glad.

            It was a beautiful so I decided to take the twins to the zoo.

            I walked down into the kitchen. Mom and Dad were up and so were the twins. Ruthie was on the phone with Peter and Christine was in the Living Room watching TV.

            'Good Morning Lucy.' Mom said 'Want some pancakes?'

            'Sure.' I said. I grabbed a plate, a fork, and a knife. Then I took a seat at the table. Mom started a conversation about what was on the news. I finished my pancakes as quickly as possible. I hate when Mom starts these long talks just to get everyone to talk.          

            I finished my pancakes. I put my dish, fork, and knife in the sink and I started to wash them. I finished quickly.

            'Mom… Is it ok if I take the twins to the zoo today?' I asked

            'Sure… No problem. But are you sure you want to take them?' Mom asked

            'Yea. I have nothing else to do all day.'

            'Ok.'

            'We going to the zoo.' David said

            'Yay!' Sam yelled.

            We arrived at the zoo at a quarter to 2. Sam and David were really excited. They wanted to go everywhere.

            'Ok What do you two want to see first.' I asked

            'We want to see the …' David started

            'THE ELEPHANTS!' Sam finished.

            We went to see the elephants. Then we went to see the alligators, polar bears, tigers, llamas, monkeys, and the birds.   We went on the sky ride. On the other side we visited the snakes, frogs, turtles, and bats. By this time they were tired and wanted to go home. We got home at 5:30. It seemed later then I thought it would be.

            When we got home they ran to Mom and started telling her about their day. I went up to the garage apartment. Kevin wasn't home yet. We had one message on the phone. It was from Kevin. He had to work a late shift tonight.

            I decided to go out by myself for dinner. I walked out of the apartment and into the car. I drove off. I had been driving for maybe 5 minutes at the most. Then the last thing I remember was seeing these bright lights flashing into my eyes.

(I know a short chapter. I am sorry. I didn't think I would finish chapters 7 and 8 all in one day. I really think I need to get a life… I have way too much time on my hands. LOL! I hope you all like these chapters. Just 3 more chapters to go! Maybe four. I am not sure about chapter 12 yet…

Love ya!         -Nikki-)
