Chapter Three
Kevin's P.O.V. I ran into the house. I ran to Lucy. Something was wrong. I knew it was.
"Lucy, Hunny, What's wrong?" "Dad, I am going to talk to Kevin in the kitchen." "Okay Luce."
We walked into the kitchen. We sat down at the kitchen table.
"Luce, what's wrong." "What do you want to hear first. My news or why my dad had me call you and tell you to come home." "Which one is better?" "I don't know. One is worse than the other I think." "Okay, tell me the worst one first." "Well..my dad had me call you guys home because Simon and Ruthie were in an accident. Simon hit a man on a bicycle while driving to the pool hall. The man died, Kevin." "Oh, Luce - everything will be okay. I'm sure it wasn't Simon's fault." "Yea. I'm sure." Lucy said without conviction. "What's the better news?" I asked with a smile. "I don't know if is good news." "Well, what is it?!?!?!" "Kevin...Well..I'm..pregnant." "What?! That's great Hunny!" "Are you sure Kevin. I am still in school. We just got married. I can't do this." "Lucy. We can get through this together, and we have your family to help us." "What if they don't approve?" "They will." "I still have to go to a doctor to confirm it. If I get an appointment will you come with me? I don't want to go alone." "Of course hunny. I will go with you." "Thanks. And can we not tell everyone until we are sure I am pregnant?" "Yes. They can wait. I love you" "I love you too."
Annie's P.O.V. I walked into the house. I ran to Eric.
"Eric, What's wrong. Why did Lucy tell Kevin to have us come home right away." "Lou and Det. Michaels stopped by." "And?!" "They came to tell me that Simon and Ruthie were in an accident on his way to the Pool Hall. Simon hit a man on his bicycle. The man's name was Paul, he's dead." "What?!?! How could Simon do this?" "Annie hunny. Lou and Det. Michaels said it wasn't Simon's fault. The man was drunk." "Yes, but Simon still hit him. He should know better." "Annie. I know, but Simon is a good kid. Simon and Ruthie are at the hospital. We can ask Kevin and Lucy to watch the boys so we can go and get them." "Okay, let's go."
Lucy's P.O.V. Mom and Dad went to the hospital. I wanted to go, but they asked Kevin and I to watch the boys. I was just putting them to bed. I said goodnight, turned the light off and closed the door. I walked half way downstairs and saw Kevin sitting there waiting for me with ice cream. One for me and one for him. I walked down the rest of the stairs and sat next to him.
"Kevin, you didn't have too." "I know, but I wanted to. I love you, and I want to make you happy when you are down. I love you Lucy Kinkirk." "I love you too Kevin Kinkirk."
I kissed Kevin passionately. We broke apart and ate out ice cream. Mom and Dad came home about an hour later with Simon and Ruthie. I talked a bit with them, then Kevin and I went to the garage apartment.
