A Tale of 8 Kinkirks

Chapter 11

"So Matt, we need you to have her here by 2:00. Tell her you're just coming by for a visit. Okay?" Annie asked Matt over the phone. "Yeah, sure, Mom. Is there anything you need me to bring?" Matt questioned. "Nope," Annie replied. "Everything is all set. See you at two." Matt hung up. "Who was that?" Sarah asked as she walked into the room. "Oh, no one," Matt said quickly. "You want to go out for lunch?" "Sure," Sarah smiled. "I'm in the mood for liver."

"Kevin? It's me- Annie," Annie said. "Hi. What time should I drop Lucy off?" Kevin asked. "Well Sarah is going to be here at two," Annie answered, "So Luce should be here about the same time. Don't let her come by anytime sooner, though. The house is covered in pink and blue." "Okay, see ya," Kevin hung up.

"Mrs. Camden? It's Ben," Ben said. "Hi Ben," Annie greeted. "Uh, what time should we get there?" Ben asked. "Two. And don't be early or late," Annie reminded. "We won't. I'm not going to stay, am I?" Ben questioned. "No. Eric is taking you and Kevin and Matt to the pool hall so he can give you some tips for being fathers," Annie said warmly. "Good. I have no idea what to expect except no sleep," Ben laughed. "Yeah, that's one big thing. Oh- look at the time. I have so much to do. See you later," Annie hung up.

A few hours later

"Where are we going again?" Lucy asked. "We're going to you're parent's house for a visit," Kevin told her. They pulled up in back of Matt and Sarah, who had just arrived. Then Mary and Ben pulled up. "What are they doing here?" Mary asked Ben. "I don't know," Ben said, trying not to smile. "Here, I'll help you out." He got out, opened Mary's door, and helped her out. "Whew! I never knew something as simple as getting out of your truck would be so hard," she said, exhausted. "Of course I am carrying around ten pounds of baby, but still." "What are you doing here?" Sarah asked Lucy. "I'm here for a visit, according to Kevin," she said. "But I don't really believe him. Why are you here?" "Same- for a visit," Sarah replied. "Oh well. Let's go in and check this out," Mary suggested. She and Lucy began to walk up to the front porch. Sarah giggled. "Don't laugh- this is you in five months," Lucy reminded her. "I know- you guys are waddling, though. It's funny," she laughed. "We're carrying twins!" Mary smiled. Lucy rang the doorbell. Annie answered. "Hi! Come on in!"
