Lucy finished preparing dinner as quickly as possible. Simon and his fiancée would be there any minute, and thankfully, Lucy was almost done. She laughed as her husband and sons walked out of the hall into the kitchen, each dressed nicely. Kevin wore dress pants and a nice shirt, and the boys wore matching khaki shorts and blue shirts. Lucy looked beautiful herself, in a knee-length red dress. As she set the table, the doorbell rang. Kevin answered it. Soon, she saw Kevin come back, closely followed by Simon. Her younger brother walked over and hugged her, then turned to the girl behind him.
"Luce, this is my fiancée, Haylie. Haylie this is my sister Lucy." He told the women. Lucy smiled at the girl. She looked young. She looked stunning in a short blue sundress. Kevin came over with the kids. Simon introduced them.
"Haylie, this is Lucy's husband, Kevin, and their kids, Jacob and Alex." Haylie smiled politely, shaking Kevin's hand.
"It's nice to meet you all." She said.
They soon sat down to dinner. Simon spoke.
"So Luce, Kevin, how are things going? Anything new?" He asked.
"Things are going great. Nothing new's going on really." Lucy answered. The phone rang, interrupting their dinner. Kevin rose, and answered it.
"Hello?" He answered. "Mary, hi!---Nothing much, what's going on with you?---No Way!---Congratulations!---Well, Mary, I have to go. We have Simon and Haylie over for dinner, but congratulations again.----talk to you later.---bye." Kevin came back to the table and sat down with a smile.
"I have an announcement to make on behalf of Mary and Ben." He told the table. Every one stopped chatting and paid attention, other than the kids who carried on as usual. "Mary found out today that she and Ben are going to have a baby!" He told them. Every one at the table spoke at once. Once they settled down, Haylie spoke.
"Simon, Mary is your sister, right?" She asked.
"Yes. She's married to a guy named Ben and they don't have any kids- yet. When is she due?" He asked Kevin.
"Late July." Kevin answered. Every one continued their dinner happily. Finally after everyone was done, Simon and Haylie left.
"She seems nice." Lucy said to her husband after they were gone.
"She does." Kevin answered. Lucy took Nick and Kevin took Jacob, and they took their kids into their rooms to tuck them in.

The remainder of February passed quickly, and March went by in a flash. Now, April 10th, things started to move quickly. Mary was now five months pregnant, and beginning to show. Simon and Haylie were getting married in two days, and Mary and Ben were finding out the gender of their baby in a matter of minutes.
They sat quietly in the small office of Mary's obstetrician. Finally, she spoke the words that they were waiting for.
"Mr. and Mrs. Kinkirk, would you like to know the sex of your baby?" She asked them, eyeing the papers in front of her.
"Yes." Mary answered immediately. Kevin nodded his head.
"Well then, I hope you'll be happy to know that on July 28th, you'll be expecting a baby girl." She told them. Mary jumped up from her chair excitedly.
"A girl? I've wanted a little girl since I was just a kid!" She cried. Ben got up and hugged her.
"I'm glad that you feel that way." The doctor told them. "We're done so you're free to go." She said. With that, Mary and Ben happily left the room, hand in hand.

"She's---pregnant?" Sarah asked with hurt in her voice. Matt smiled sadly at her.
"Yes. She just called-she's going to have a little girl." He told her, pulling her into his arms. Sarah looked sad.
"Oh. That's nice," She said, trying to sound as if she really meant it. "Matt?" She asked
"Yes?"
"When will it be our turn? To have a baby I mean."
"Soon." He told her, hugging her tighter. "Sometime soon."
"What if we adopted?" She asked, with a sudden light in her eyes.
"I don't know." Matt told her. "Isn't that mostly for couples who don't have kids?" Sarah sighed.
"Sometimes I guess." She said. "But maybe we could consider it." She told him hopefully.
"Yeah, maybe. I think we'll just try for our own right now though." He told her. She smiled. Matt leaned down and kissed Sarah. Happily, she kissed him back.
