Lucy, Mary, and Matt hurried into the delivery room. They saw that the rest of the family was already there. The twins sat in the corner of the room, but the rest were gathered around Mary, holding her hands. Mary's face was crunched up in pain, and she had tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Owww" She moaned. The nurse gave her a sympathetic smile.
"Mary, you're ready." She told her. Mary nodded her head. Ben held her hand tightly. She let out a quick shout of pain. Soon, a baby's cry was heard through out the room. The nurse stood, and showed a small baby to Mary. She left quickly, and came back with a small bundle wrapped in a blanket in her arms. Mary had even more tears coming down her face as she held her daughter in her arms for the first time. The nurse came and crouched down next to the new mother.
"What's her name, sweetie?" She asked her calmly. Mary smiled.
"Natalie Marie." She said happily.
"That's pretty." The nurse said. She smiled. "I'll leave you with the baby for a little while." She left. Annie came forward and looked at the baby.
"My first granddaughter." She said with tears in her eyes. Mary smiled at her mother.
"Would you like to hold her?" She asked. Annie nodded her head and took the baby. She slowly walked around the room singing softly to the little girl. Mary, soon to tired to keep her eyes open, fell asleep. Everyone left to let the family be together.

The rest of the month went by quickly. Kevin was ecstatic to know that his wife was pregnant again. Life was so busy that they never had a chance to make a formal announcement to the rest of the family. September came. Finally, a date was made for everyone to go out to dinner. They planned a celebration of Alex's 4th birthday at a nearby restaurant. Alex's birthday, the 12th finally arrived, and everyone went to eat.
When they arrived, everyone sat talking, catching up. Mary now had a two-month-old daughter that no one but Annie had seen since the birth. Sarah and Matt were there, Lucy and Kevin were there with Alex and Jacob. Annie, Eric, the twins, and Ruthie chatted with Lucy and Kevin, and Mary and Ben were there with Natalie. Everyone eventually sat down and ordered. Once they were eating, Simon sat straight up in his chair.
"We have an announcement to make." He said, addressing the table. Everyone looked up at him, quieting down.
"Well," He began, clutching Haylie's hand, "We're going to have a baby!" He told them excitedly. Everyone looked at them in shock, other than Annie who ran to them to hug them. She sat down quickly after, realizing that she was alone. Haylie looked confused.
"Is that bad?" She asked. Lucy spoke up first.
"No! Not at all, it's just that I'm pregnant too." She said.
"And I am as well." Sarah said quietly. The table erupted into congratulations and hugs. Once they settled down, Annie spoke to the women.
"When are you due?" She asked with excitement in her voice.
"December 18th." Lucy said.
"December 3rd." Sarah said.
"January 2nd." Haylie said. Annie gasped
"You're all so close together!" She told them. "Sarah, Lucy, you're at five months, and Haylie, four?" She asked.
"Yes!" They all answered together. The women laughed.
"Wait, Lucy, Sarah, at five months, do you know the gender yet?" She asked.
"I'm finding out Friday, two days." Lucy told them.
"We're not finding out until he or she's born." Sarah said. Everyone looked at her in awe.
"I could never have done that!" Mary told her. They smiled. The rest of the birthday dinner went well, and Jacob enjoyed his presents and cake.

Lucy sat in her doctor's office, finishing up her check up. The doctor looked at her.
"We can tell the gender of the baby. Would you like to know?" She asked.
"Yes." Lucy told her. She sat nervously as waited for the doctor to finish opening the file to see. Finally, the woman looked back at her.
"You'll be having a little girl." She told her. Lucy jumped into the air with a huge smile.
"A girl! I'm having a girl! Thank you doctor Jennings, but I need to get home! A girl!" She cried, and walked from the room.
A/N: Yeah yeah yeah-I know that it's short. That last section was just to establish that Lucy's having a girl. This is a short chapter. Oh well. Review!
