Chapter 5
It had been a week since the pregnancy test at the hospital, and the results could come any day now. Since her period still had not come, Lucy doubted she wasn't pregnant. However, Lucy still wanted to wait to tell everyone until she knew absolutely for sure. Kevin was still in a coma, and Lucy visited him every day. Sometimes she and Ben would play cards with him, and surprisingly, Kevin occasionally won, even though he wouldn't actually play. Everyone had found out that Mary had eloped, and Eric was trying to get the annulment papers.
The phone rang in the afternoon. Lucy was getting a snack in the kitchen, and Simon was watching television in the living room. The rest of the family were scattered around the house.
"I'll get it," yelled Simon as he turned down the volume and reached for the phone. "Hello?"
"Hello, this is Glenoak Hospital. Is Lucy Kinkirk there?" Simon froze. Something must have happened to Kevin. He was either dead or had woken up. Simon hoped for the latter.
"Yes, hold on." He covered up the phone and called, "Lucy! Phone!"
"Okay," said Lucy as she walked into the living room and took the phone. "Hello?"
"Hello, Lucy Kinkirk?"
"Yes."
"This is Glenoak Hospital. Congratulations, you're pregnant." Lucy frowned.
"Okay, thanks."
"You're about three weeks along, and your due date is June fifth."
"Okay."
"We'd like you to come in every few weeks for checkups, too."
"Okay.. is that all?"
"Yes, goodbye, and congratulations again."
"Bye." Lucy hung up the phone.
"What happened?" asked Simon immediately afterwards. Lucy looked confused.
"What do you mean?"
"That was the hospital, they told me when I picked it up."
"Oh, nothing. I just.. left my purse there," lied Lucy. Now Simon looked confused.
"Your purse is right there," he said, pointing to her purse on a table behind her. Flabbergasted, Lucy looked behind her, and bit her lip.
"So it is," she muttered.
"So did you win a vacation to Hawaii in a hospital contest? What happened?"
"Oh, you're going to know eventually. I'm pregnant." It was at that exact moment when Ruthie walked in.
"I didn't even mean to hear that!" she exclaimed.
"Oh, why don't I just tell the world?" said Lucy. "Hey everyone," she yelled. "I'm pregnant!" Eric came running out of the study almost immediately.
"Did I just hear what I think I heard?" he asked.
"And if Kevin wakes up after eight months, he is going to be very confused," said Lucy.
"Lucy, it's okay," said Simon, putting his arm around her. "Calm down." Matt, Annie, Mary, Sam, and David walked into the living room.
"What's going on?" asked Annie. "We heard someone yell."
"Sam," said Ruthie, "is going to be Uncle Sam." She laughed. Sam furrowed his brow, confused, and Matt and Annie looked at Mary.
"It's not me!" exclaimed Mary, looking very insulted. Matt looked at Ruthie.
"I never liked that Peter fellow," he growled. Ruthie stared at him. "Nah, just kidding." Matt laughed, and Ruthie rolled her eyes. "Congrats Luce. Come here and give your big brother a hug," he said as he held out his arms. Lucy made a face and grumbled something as she walked out.
"Okay, then," said Matt, lowering his hands. "Moody already, wow."
