~*Too Much at Once*~

~*Chapter 3*~The Phone Call~

"I can't believe there's a baby inside there" Kevin said rubbing Lucy's stomach (A/N~Lucy is home from the hospital.)

"I no.  I can't wait till its born."

Lucy started to yawn.

"You tired, sweetie?" Kevin asked

"A little." Lucy responded

"Ill let u get some sleep. Your gunna need your rest." Kevin said pulling the covers up to Lucy's chin.

"I love you Kevin." Lucy said before falling asleep.

Ruthie was in Sam and David's room playing "cars" when the phone rang.

"Hello?" Ruthie said.

"Hey kiddo!"

"MATT!!  I miss you." Ruthie responded

"I miss you too."

"So whats up? Why r u calling?"

"Can a big brother just call to say hi?" Matt asked

"Ya, but I no u called for a reason."

"Well your right I did."

"Well…."

"Well what?"

"Why did u call!" Ruthie asked wanting to know why Matt called.

"I think I should tell mom and dad first."

"Why?"

"Because."

"Come on.  You told me about you and Sarah getting married and you didn't tell n e one else!" Ruthie said.

"Ya well that's different then telling someone you have to go to Europe for a year!" Matt said

"What?" Ruthie said upset.

"Oh no……Ruthie-" But Matt got cut off

"Going to Europe for a year? Going to Europe for a year!!  I can't believe this!!"

"Ruthie its not what u think."

"Not what I think? Your going to Europe.  Its black and white.  I can't believe your going to Europe for a year and going to miss the birth of Lucy and Kevin's baby!" Ruthie said almost yelling.

"Lucy and Kevin are having a baby?" Matt said excited.

"Ya they are.   But what do u care!!" Ruthie said and slammed the phone down.

"Ruthie—" But then he realized she wasn't there.

"Matt?" his wife Sarah asked

"ya."

"Is everything ok?"

"Not really."

"What they didn't take it well?"

"No.  Ruthie didn't take it well."
