"Hi mom. It's Lucy." Said a voice in the phone.
"Lucy! How are you?" Annie asked warmly.
"I'm great. I'm calling because Kevin and I are having everyone over for dinner tonight. We want you and dad to come with Sam and David."
"Oh that sounds great what time?"
"6:00." Lucy said. "OK, we'll be there."
"OK, see you then. Bye." Lucy hung up the phone and leaned over to the sheet of paper next to her. She crossed out 'Mom and Dad'.
"Who else do you have to invite?" Kevin asked. Lucy turned around and smiled.
"Well, I have Sarah and Matt, Mom and Dad, Sam and David, and Simon and Cecilia. Now I just have to call Ruthie and Peter."
"Cool. I'm so excited to see how the family reacts about triplets!" He said.
"Yeah. I'm only sorry that none of your family lives in town to come."
"It's OK. I'll call them to tell them." He said. Lucy nodded. She called Ruthie and Peter who also said they could come. She then turned to Kevin again.
"OK. It's all set"
"Cool! Are everyone's kids coming too?"
"Yep." Lucy said.
"OK."
"I better start cleaning up so I can cook. It's already 2:00." Lucy said and started to walk around.
"No way." Kevin said. "You go and lay down, I'll take care of it."
"You don't have to do that. I'm fine."
"No! You're pregnant with triplets. Now go and lie down. Take a nap." He said. Kevin walked his wife to their room and layed her down in bed. Within minutes she was asleep...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lucy stretched and slowly opened her eyes. The world came into focus little by little. Once she could see, she rolled over to look at the clock.
"Oh my gosh!" Lucy yelled out loud when she saw that the clock said 6:34. She jumped out of bed and rushed into the kitchen where she saw a lovely buffet sitting on the table. The family was all there in a line getting food.
"Hey sweetie!" Kevin said when he saw his wife. "We'll be right back." Kevin said to the family and took Lucy back into their room.
"Come on, get dressed! Everyone is all dressed up and you're in PJ's silly." He said. Lucy laughed.
"But everything nice that I have is too tight around my stomach!" Lucy complained. Kevin walked to their closet and opened the door.
"Well THAT...." He turned around holding a box with a big red bow on it. "Is why I got you this." He said. Lucy smiled and walked over. She sat the box on the bed and untied the bow. Carefully, she lifted the top of the box off and gasped as she pulled a cute red maternity dress out.
"Kevin, this is adorable!" She said and kissed him.
"I know it'll be a little big on you right now, but not for too long." He said. Lucy laughed and agreed.
"Hold on while I put it on!" She said excitedly. She took off into their bathroom. She came out a few minutes later.
"Wow!" Kevin said. Lucy laughed. Her dress was vibrant red with cap sleeves and a neck line that fell four inches below her collar bone. The dress went down to just above her knees. The hem was covered in ruffles.
"It's so cute Kev I love it." She said. They kissed.
"We better hurry and get out there." Kevin told her. "They're probably done serving now. I have a plate ready for you at your spot."
"Oh you're so thoughtful. Thanks." She said. Kevin nodded and they went together into the dining room.
"Oh, look at you!" Annie exclaimed when she saw her daughter. She came over and admired Lucy's dress.
"Oh!" She said as she ran her hand over Lucy's growing stomach. "How far along are you now? 5, 6 months?" Lucy blushed.
"No, just four." She said, trying to sound calm.
"Oh..." Annie said with a slight frown. She didn't say anything more about Lucy's stomach size and she went back to sit down. Kevin helped Lucy into her seat and he lead the family in a prayer. After he finished everyone began to eat. Emily, Sean, Rachel, and Ethan sat at their own 'kids table' across the room. After everyone had settled in, Lucy looked up to address them.
"Everybody, we have an announcement to make." Lucy said. She looked at Matt who gave her a little knowing smile before she and Kevin stood.
"Some of you" She looked at her mother. "Have noticed my unusual size for being only four months pregnant. But there is a reason for this madness!" Lucy said with a laugh. She took Kevin's hand. "It's kind of funny actually. Kevin and I have been married for less time then both of you couples, Sarah and Matt, and Simon and Cecilia, but we're about to beat you in number of kids! You each have two kids, and in September, Kevin and I will have three. Everyone, I'm pregnant with triplets!" The table seemed to explode.
"Lucy! No wonder!" Annie cried and hugged her daughter. Lucy laughed and nodded. After getting many hugs, the table seemed to calm down again. Sarah broke the silence.
"Actually..."She began, getting everyone's attention. "Lucy, by the time your triplets are born...Matt and I will already have three kids!" She said quietly.
"WHAT?" Was heard from every mouth in the room. Sarah laughed.
"Well, I found out that I was pregnant a few months ago. Quite a few months ago, actually. But I could never have an opportunity to tell Matt or anyone else, because I wanted Matt to know first. I finally told him, so now it's out...I'm pregnant!"
"When are you due?" Asked Eric.
"July 2nd." Sarah answered.
"But that would make you..." Ruthie began.
"At six months already!" Peter helped his wife.
"Yep." Sarah said. She stood and turned to the side, pulling her shirt tight. Everyone laughed when they saw the big bump of a stomach Sarah was modeling for them. Sarah laughed too.
"Six months...do you know the gender?" Annie asked.
"Yes we do! And the name..." Sarah said.
"And?" Everyone asked in unison.
"It's a girl!" Sarah said. She looked to Matt.
"And Sarah and I decided for her name to be Chloe. Chloe Nicole."
"How cute!" Said Cecilia.
"Congratulations." Said Sam.
"Yeah!" Echoed Simon.
And now, with four extra people, Lucy's triplets and Chloe, in the room, dinner finished up, and everyone noticed that Lucy was definitely eating for four.
A/N: Review please!!
