Chapter 4
The next morning, Annie was reading the newspaper and drinking coffee in the kitchen when Lucy walked in.
"Lucy, good morning," greeted Annie.
"Morning." Annie continued to read the newspaper, and Lucy fixed herself a cup of coffee.
"Good morning, Mary," said Annie when Mary walked in a moment later.
"Morning. You're not supposed to drink that, Luce," whispered Mary as she grabbed the mug away from Lucy as she walked by. Lucy frowned.
"No.." she moaned quietly.
"Why can't Lucy drink coffee?" asked Annie, not looking up from the newspaper.
"Because it stains her teeth," said Mary quickly.
"Yeah," said Lucy. A second later Eric walked in with a goofy smile on his face.
"Oh, what a beautiful morning," he sang as he opened a cabinet and pulled out a bowl, "oh, what a beautiful day. I've got a wonderful feeling, everything's going my way." Mary frowned.
"Did you tell him?" asked Lucy quietly. Mary nodded.
"I thought it went well, for what I imagined might happen."
"I'm leaving," announced Lucy.
"So am I," said Mary.
"Mary, stay," ordered Annie. "I think we need to have a talk." Mary sighed in defeat.
"Have fun," whispered Lucy as she walked out.
"Thanks," answered Mary sarcastically.

After her classes ended at two, Lucy went straight to the hospital.
"Hi, can I make an appointment with a doctor?" she asked the receptionist.
"For what?"
"To.. see if I'm pregnant." The receptionist nodded and smiled as she pressed a few keys on a keyboard.
"There's an opening at twelve tomorrow. Is that all right?"
"Yeah." All of Lucy's classes were later in the afternoon tomorrow.
"Okay. Your name?"
"Lucy Kinkirk." The receptionist typed in something else on the keyboard, most likely Lucy's name.
"All right, Ms. Kinkirk, you're booked for twelve tomorrow. See you later."
"Okay, thanks," said Lucy as she walked off towards Kevin's room. When she got there, she just stood in the doorway for a while, looking inside. Ben was inside, and playing cards on a small table across the bed. He dealt himself and Kevin each five cards, only looking at his own.
"You want to bet fifty dollars on this one, Kev? Well, okay, I'll match you." Ben took a few chips from two piles he had set out and set them in the middle of the table. "I'll take two cards, and you'll have.. None? Wow, must have some hand there, Kevin. You want to bet fifty more dollars? Well okay, I'll match you, and that's too bad because I have a flush, and you have.." Ben turned Kevin's cards over. "A full house? How the hell- I mean, too bad, because you have nothing, and I just won all your money." Ben laughed to himself as he took all of Kevin's chips.
"Hey, that's my money you're stealing, too, you know," said Lucy. Ben looked up.
"Oh, hi, Luce," greeted Ben. "The doctor said it'd be good to interact with him in some way, so here I am.."
"Cheating him in poker?"
"Yeah," he laughed.
"Where's your mom?" asked Lucy.
"Getting something to eat, I think."
"Where are you staying?
"We got a hotel room. There are enough people staying at the Camden Bed and Breakfast without us."
A/N: Sorry for the abrupt ending, but I wasn't sure how to end it. I'm not totally sure if you're not supposed to drink coffee if you're pregnant, but it was implied in the second book of The Princess Diaries, so if that's not true, we'll just have to pretend. Also, the song that Eric was singing was from the musical Oklahoma, by Rodgers and Hammerstein. And a full house does beat a flush in poker, right? Oh well, again, if it doesn't, we'll just have to pretend.
