Chapter 12: Telling

Ruthie was heading up to the garage apartment but when she

got there the door was locked so she decided to eavesdrop.

"Can you believe there a baby in there?" She heard Kevin

saying. Ruthie's eyes widened as Lucy replied. "Um. Not exactly

I'm still shocked."

"I've got to go to work now I'll be back later. I love you."

"I love you to." Ruthie scrambled outside as she heard

Kevin's footsteps coming towards her. As soon as soon as Kevin

had left Ruthie went upstairs.

"Hey Ruthie what's up?" Lucy asked.

"Oh not much. You couldn't say the same though could

you?" Ruthie replied mischievously as she leaned against the wall

and folded her arms in her usual "I no." way.

"What are you talking about?" Lucy asked innocently

looking up.

"You can't fool me. I already no."

"No what?"

"Come on you no what I'm talking about."

"No I don't."

"Yes you do."

"No I don't."

"Yes you do. You no I'm talking about the baby."

"Listen Ruthie you can't tell anyone. You have to let me and

Kevin you promise."

"Yes I just wanted you to tell me. I'm not keeping this a

secret for long. you better tell then soon."

Kevin and Lucy walked into the kitchen and sat down on the

stools by the counter.

"So, mom, dad how's it feel to be grandparents?" Lucy

asked.

"No Lucy. Sarah's not pregnant." Annie said glumly. Lucy

tilled her head and looked and Kevin.

"See I told you that's what she would say." Lucy mumbled.

"Annie honey I don't think that's what they meant. I think

they meant Lucy's pregnant." Eric replied. Annie looked at them

and watched them nod. Suddenly she was in hysterics, She hugged

them both while jumping up and down.

"Congratulations you guys!"

"What's all the yelling about?" Simon asked as he walked in

with Ruthie and the twins at his heals.

"Lucy's pregnant!"

"Wow congratulations!" The family went around

congratulating Kevin and Lucy.

"So what's new?" Lucy asked.

"I'm getting married!" Roxanne blurted.

"What! You are congratulations! I'm having a baby!"

"Wow! Congratulations!" They hugged each other excitedly.
