That night, Lucy and Kevin came home at about eight. They saw Lucy's parents and decided to tell them.

"Mom, Dad, Kevin and I have an announcement to make."

Annie and Eric looked at Kevin and Lucy.

"We're expecting a baby!"

Eric and Annie looked at eachother.

"Congratulations! Eric, we're going to be grandparents!" Annie said ecstatically.

That night at the Richardson home, it was quite different.

"Roxanne, you mean to say, you're pregnant with a BABY?" Det. Terry Richardson asked his daughter.

"No, a horse. I'm expecting a horse. Yes Dad, a baby."

"But you and HIM aren't married! You."

"We aren't married, Det., but we love each other and that's all that matters to me." Chandler said

"I don't care!"

"BUT I do!!! I care, Terry!" Chandler said back, exasperated.

"Chandler, you aren't helping!" Roxanne said.

"Don't call me Terry. It's Det. Richardson to you, son"

" No, I've been wanting to say this to you, TERRY, I frankly love your daughter, and if she wants to, I will marry her!"

"Was that a proposal?" Roxanne asked.

"If it's a yes, it is. I've wanted to ask you for the past few weeks, and now when it flew out, it just seemed right, Roxanne." He walked over to her and got down on one knee.

"Roxanne Richardson, will you be my wife. I don't have a ring, but will you?"

"You aren't doing this because you are mad at my father are you?"

"No, it just seems right."

"You're right, and I've been waiting for you to ask me. Yes, as long as you mean it. Yes, I will!"

Terry glared at his future son in law. He may have lost this time, but the war wasn't over yet.
