Chapter One: A Big Surprise

A/N: Ok, this is The Gift 2 basically. Read and tell me what you think. Please please review!!!!!

This is a continuation of my first story, The Gift. This story takes place six years after The Gift. Melissa is now six. Lucy and Kevin also have a 3- year-old daughter named Emma. Kevin is still a policeman. Lucy is out of school and now she's a stay-at-home-mom. Lucy and Kevin moved shortly after Melissa's birth, into a home five houses down from where Annie, Eric, and the rest of the Camden's lived.

"Mommy?" Lucy heard the voice of her six-year-old daughter call. She walked to the little girl's room and peered in the door. "Yes?" She asked. "When will daddy be home?" She asked her mother. "In a few hours." Lucy told her, and the little girl went back to playing. "Is that all, Melissa?" She asked "Yep!" She said with out looking up from her game. Suddenly, a whirl of brown curls spun into the room. Lucy laughed as her youngest daughter, Emma, spun into the room, giggling wildly. Melissa quickly protected her dolls that she was playing with and dove for cover from her sister. "Emma!" She cried. "Hold still!" The little girl continued to spin and spin until she became dizzy and fell to the ground at her mothers feet. Lucy scooped her up into her arms. Emma laughed and talked excitedly.
"Did you see how fast I was going, mama?" She asked in her baby's voice. " I was spinning around and around and around." She leaned back in her mother's arms to look Lucy in the face. " It was fun." Emma finished with a smile. Lucy kissed the little girl's forehead and sat her back down on the carpet floor. Melissa crawled back down off her bed and got her dolls back out.
"Do ya wanna play with me, Emma?" She asked her little sister. Lucy answered for her. "Sorry Melissa, Emma can't play right now. It's her nap time." Melissa looked quickly at the clock. "But it's only 3 o'clock!" She complained.
"Exactly!" Lucy said with a laugh. " Three is her nap time!" Melissa looked disappointed and then she began to laugh. Lucy turned to see what her daughter was laughing at and saw the edge of Emma's curls disappearing from sight as she ran to hide from her mother. She hated to nap.
"You can keep playing while I tuck your sister in. Daddy will be home at five o'clock." Lucy told her. With that Lucy started down the hall to find Emma. She immediately walked to the place where her daughter always hid, in the kitchen cabinet. As soon as she opened the small doors, the saw her daughter inside. When Emma saw that her mother had found her, she began to cry.
"I don't want to take a nap!" She told her mother between sobs. "I'm a big girl!" she cried. Lucy looked at her daughter with a stern look.
"You know the rule. You nap until you turn five. That's why Melissa doesn't nap any longer." She told the little girl. Emma began to cry harder and Lucy pulled her out of the cabinet and into her arms. She carried the kicking little girl into her room and layed her down on her bed. Lucy looked at the little girl with a mean look.
"You know that mommy doesn't like tantrums!" Lucy told her and she put up the railing on the side of the bed. Slowly, Emma stopped crying.
"Thank you." Lucy told her with a little smile. "Good night." She said to her daughter.
"Night night." Emma told her mother, and shut her eyes to sleep. Lucy left the room and sat down in the family room with a magazine.
Suddenly, Lucy heard a large crash down the hall, and Melissa began to scream for her mom. She jumped out of her chair and ran to Melissa's room quickly as her legs would allow.
