Chapter Three:
The next morning, Kevin and Lucy awoke around seven a.m. Lucy ran to the bathroom, because she was still experiencing morning sickness. Kevin had off work today, so around 8, they went down to the house for breakfast.
They were greeted with a chorus of 'hellos'.
Lucy and Kevin sat down and joined in the conversation that was already going. Apparently, Ruthie had a boyfriend.
"Who's the lucky guy Ruthie?", Lucy asked.
"Peter." Ruthie answered. "Ever since he let that bully beat him up so they would stop talking about Simon, I knew he really liked me. He asked me out a couple days afterward."
"I really owe it to Peter," Simon said. "Surprisingly enough, that bully is beating up anyone who talks about me at school, so people are starting to forgive me. The brother of that kid who I hit actually apologized to me the other day. He says that it was his fault and that he was the one who gave his younger brother the pot. He said that I don't have to move out of the school district if I don't want to, but I still think it would be better. I think I might stick around Glenn Oak now, though."
"That's great Simon!", Eric exclaimed.
"I knew that that is what you wanted me to do, and after the whole apology, I am feeling a lot better. So, I decided to take those tests, and hopefully get into Glenn Oak Community College before the fall semester."
The conversations then switched back to Ruthie and Peter, and finally Annie asked Lucy how she was doing.
"Well," Lucy said. "We got a call from Dr. Carlson, the gynecologist. She says that after we left her office yesterday, they found out that there was a second fetus inside me. We are having twins."
"Twins? Oh, Luce! That's great!", Annie exclaimed.
"We are twins," Sam and David said simultaneously.
"And now we have twin brothers," David added.
"No, sweetie. They aren't your brothers, they are your nieces or nephews."
"Niece?" David asked
"Nephew? What's that?" Sam asked
"It means that you are going to be uncles." Lucy explained.
"Ooooh." Sam said, slowly beginning to understand.
~~After Breakfast~~
"Ruthie?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah, Lucy?"
"Can you come here for a second?"
"Sure."
Ruthie walked up to the garage apartment with Lucy, wondering what this was about.
"When the twins are born," Lucy explained, "There are going to be some nights and some weekends when I am at college and Kev is at work."
"I see where you are going with this . . .", Ruthie said with a smile.
"We want you to be our babysitter."
"Sure!" Ruthie exclaimed.
"We thought you were the most qualified one, since you know how to change diapers and you love little kids."
"I owe that to Sam and David."
Lucy burst out laughing.
"I bet you do."
"There's just one condition though . . ." Ruthie said.
"And what would that be?" Lucy asked, wondering if it had something to do with money.
"When they are old enough to speak, they call me AUNT Ruthie."
"Of course they will," Lucy replied, relieved that it wasn't something more drastic.
They then walked back downstairs, Ruthie excited to tell everyone that she was going to be Lucy's babysitter.
