Author's note(s)- okay, a few things.
-Thank you for all the reviews!!!!!!
-There is a reason that Lucy has an abortion.not a direct but an emotional
reason
-I KNOW she wouldn't have the abortion in the real show.that's what
fanfiction is for!
-No, I am not a great fan of the show, I am writing this for fun-review if
you want to compliment, review if u want to ask questions, review about my
writing style...but please don't review just to tell me how my plot sucks
Thank you very much ( (Oh, and yes, I will write in double space- thanks for telling me it's hard to read()
Lucy and Kevin sat on their bed in silence.
"Are you angry with me?" she asked tentatively. Kevin looked at her in shock, then hugged her.
"Of course not! Lucy, I love you more then life itself! I could never, ever be angry with you! When did you find out that you were pregnant?"
"This evening, when you were all at the pool hall." I took the pregnancy test, thought about it, and went to the hospital to schedule an appointment to find out if I was pregnant, and to have it aborted. That was where I ran into Uncle Hank; he did it for me. Then we found out about Simon."
"Oh Lucy, I'm so sorry."
"What are we going to go about my mom, and my sisters? I lo-love them, but, they don't lo-lo-love me anymo-re-re!" Lucy began to sob. Kevin felt awful about everything, how Annie, Mary and Ruthie were treating her, how they were treating her father, how they were now treating him. Lucy lay her head on Kevin's shoulder and cried.
Annie, Ruthie and Mary sat at the dining room table.
"Well, Mary, we will move you to the attic tomorrow. You can live there and find work. Maybe as a model." Mary smirked.
"And Ruthie, you can have a new room too. Or, we can re-do your room. I will put you back in private school. Not the one you went to before, but another one. A nicer one. I know exactly where, it's where I wanted to send you when you left your old one. The Academy of St. Lucinda. It's a Catholic school, but plenty of Protestant girls go there. You can probably start in the new school year, I have connections over there." Ruthie raised her eyebrows, but after a nudge from Mary, nodded significantly.
"Its supriseing how quickly you've changed mom. You used to support Lucy in every thing she did. She was the chosen daughter, Ruthie merely a side dish so to speak, and me, well, I was the forbidden fruit to the well- intentioned Adam.
"Nonsense." Annie said, but after a look form Ruthie, relented. "Okay, so I did favor Lucy. After what she did though, I never want to speak her name again. I am sorry for hurting you, my two dearest daughters. But, see it as Lucy has spoiled, while you two have just become ripe." A look of annoyance crossed Annie's face as she could see the extra minute it took Mary to understand her meaning. But, Mary's strengths were limited to sports, guys and, as with all the Camden children, biblical knowledge. Ruthie, however, knew Annie's meaning instantly.
Eric entering the room interrupted their conversation. He carried the baby through to its room, where Sam waited, completely ignoring his 2 daughters and Annie. He put David in his bed, and sang to the twins.
"Dance now, wherever you may be, for I am the lord of the dance said he.
I danced in the sky in the moons and the stars, I danced in the heaven and I danced on the earth, and in Bethlehem I had my birth."
Annie stood by the door, listening and fuming. How could he be so kind to the twins, and to evil Lucy, and not to his good daughters, who obviously were the most deserving.
"Eric" she whispered. He stopped singing and turned to her.
"Yes?" Annie walked over to him and slapped him.
"How can you be like this to your daughters? How can you completely ignore them? They are going places, they are the best of our children!"
"No, they are the best of your children. What did I ever do to Ruthie or Mary? And how can you be so hurtful to Lucy, she is your daughter too!"
"That child-murderer is no child of mine! You offended our children by completely ignoring them when you walked through the room. You have always completely ignored Mary and Ruthie; you love Lucy just because she wants to become a minister. And you ignore Mary because she never went to college."
"Go away Annie. Go spend time with your favorite daughters. I will stay in here tonight."
"No, we need to finish this, and you need to go and apologize to-"
"GO AWAY!" Annie left the room so fast she did not see the tear fall down Eric's cheek.
