A/N: OK. . . I have to start by telling you all THANK YOU!!! Your reviews for my last chapter were so appreciated. Until you write, you never know how much the reviews really do encourage the author. Thank you!! I hope that you like this chapter too. Please keep reviewing. Just a side note, I know that some of you feel like you should only send one review the entire time you read the story or the author will get tired of you. . .SO untrue. I LOVE getting reviews from the same people every chapter. It helps me see what they're thinking all the way through!!

Lucy Kinkirk awoke early the next morning. She reached over for Kevin, but to her surprise, she felt only the sheets. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the clock. 6:00 AM. Lucy sat up and got out of bed. She threw a robe on over her pajamas and went into the kitchen for a cup of coffee. She smiled when she got there. Kevin was sitting at the table reading the paper, sipping some coffee. Next to him was another cup. He turned around and smiled at Lucy.

"I knew you'd be waking up and that you'd want coffee. Here ya go." He said, handing her the mug. She smiled.

"Thank you!" She said, taken aback by how thoughtful he was. She sat down in the seat next to him and took the comics out of the paper stack. She was too tired to concentrate on something serious. Kevin laughed and kissed Lucy on the cheek.

"See, this is why I love you." He said, eyeing the comic page. Lucy smiled and held up her coffee cup.

"And THIS is why I love you!" She said jokingly.

"Oh, THANK YOU." He said sarcastically.

"Aunt Lucy?" Asked a small, quiet voice, inturrupting the couple. Lucy turned to see Ella standing in the entrance of the hallway, clutching her blanket in one hand and rubbing her eyes with the other.

"Good morning, sweet heart." Lucy said and went over to pick the girl up. She carried her back to the table and sat her on her lap.

"Is my sister here yet?" She asked, looking around.

"Yes. She was born last night." The girl immediately perked up.

"Where is she?" She asked excitedly.

"At the hospital with your mommy."

"Why is she at the hospickle? Is she sick?" She asked, sounding alarmed.

"No, she's perfectly fine. All babies and their mommy's stay at the hospital for one day after the baby is born." Lucy told her.

"Oh." Ella said, dissapointed. "When can I meet her?"

"Soon." She said. "Your mommy's gonna call us a little later and let us know when she'll be coming home."

"Will daddy and baby come home with her?" She asked.

"Yes." Lucy answered.

"OK." Ella said quietly. She leaned her head against Lucy's shoulder and shut her eyes. Minutes later, she fell asleep. Lucy carefully got up and carried her back into the room she was sharing with Maggie. She came back out and sat down next to Kevin again.

"She's so cute." Lucy said with a smile. She took a sip of her coffee.

"Yeah." Kevin agreed. "I wonder when Sarah'll be calling."

"In a couple of hours. She'll be up early." Lucy said with a laugh. Kevin nodded.

"Yes. Very early." He looked up at the clock to see that it was already 7:30. Maggie began to cry from her room.

"Just like clock work." Kevin said. Lucy got up and walked into Maggie's room. She was standing in her crib with her arms streached at the door. Ella was sitting on her matress on the ground, covering her ears. She frowned at her cousin. Lucy picked up the one year old and rocked her back and forth in her arms.

"Shh shh shh." She said soothingly. Ella looked up at her aunt.

"I don't like it when babies cry. My sister won't ever cry. She's a good baby." She said matter-of-factly.

"All babies cry." Lucy told her.

"Nah uh!" Ella said defensively.

"Yes, sweet heart, they do." She said.

"Are you sure?" She asked. Lucy nodded.

"Darn!" Ella cried and crossed her arms. Lucy smiled and tussled her hair. Just then the phone rang. Moments later, she heard Kevin shouting.

"Luce, it's Sarah on the phone."
