A/N: Thank you for the reviews!! I love to get them! A note to reviewer 'lily': No, I am not 'obsessed' with stay at home mothers, I just choose to have them all be stay at home mothers because it is much easier to write from that angle, being able to have mother and children together. Thanks everyone, and enjoy.

Still Going Strong Chapter 5: Chatting
Lucy walked over to her computer desk and sat down. The house was calm...Kevin was at work, and the triplets were playing in their room. She double clicked on the 'AIM' icon and typed her password. Her buddy list appeared momentarily, and she saw that Sarah, who's screen name was '9MonthsAndCountin', in honor of her pregnancy, was online. She clicked on her sister-in-law's screen name, and typed "hello!". She pushed send, and a sound was played on Lucy's, '3s_Mom', for her triplets, screen.
3s_Mom: Hello!
9MonthsAndCountin: Hey, Luce! How are you?
3s_Mom: I'm pretty good, how about yourself? How are you feeling?
9MonthsAndCountin: Doing good, feeling great!
3s_Mom: That's good. So where are your kids? The chance to get online is a rare one, anymore!
9MonthsAndCountin: Well, Chloe's taking her nap, Sean's at his friend, Alex's house, and Emily's in her room. And yours?
3s_Mom: Maddy, Will, and Luke are playing in their room. Last time I checked, Maddy was playing with her dolls, and the boys were building towers with their blocks.
9MonthsAndCountin: Sounds like fun to me! Haha.
Lucy was interrupted by a tug at her shirt. She looked down to see Maddy standing beside her.
"Watcha dooin'?" The 3-year-old asked sweetly.
"I'm talking to your Aunt Sarah on the internet." Lucy explained.
"What's the...innernot?" Lucy laughed.
"The Internet is a thing that can connect a lot of people so they can talk." She explained, simply.
"Oh," Said Maddy. "Can I talk too?" She cried excitedly.
"Sure." She picked up her daughter and placed her on her lap.
3s_Mom: Miss Maddy came out and caught me online.
9MonthsAndCountin: LoL.
3s_Mom: She wants to talk to you. I'll type what she says. (I'll put my comments in parentheses.)
9MonthsAndCountin: OK! Hi Maddy! (I'll do the same)
Maddy giggled loudly when she recognized her name on the screen. Lucy read the message aloud.
3s_Mom: Hi Aunty Sareee!! (She's kind of hyper this afternoon, if you can't tell.
9MonthsAndCountin: (LoL) Hey sweetie! What are you up to today?
3s_Mom: Me and Will and Luke are playing and I'm playing with my dolls, and I have one doll named Annie and she has brown curly hair and she looks kinda like Chloe, and where is Chloe? I like Chloe. (Yes, that was all said in one breath...I have a multi-talented daughter, no?)
9MonthsAndCountin: (Yes, you do!) Your doll, Annie, does sound like Chloe! Chloe is taking her afternoon nap right now.
3s_Mom: Like I did when I was just a two-year-old? (Miss maturity!)
9MonthsAndCountin: (tough stuff!) Yeah, when you were just so little!
3s_Mom: Yeah. (Yeah.) Mommy says that I gotta go now and play again cause she wants to get some work done. Tell her no.
9MonthsAndCountin: I think I better obey her rules. Can't have your mommy angry with me!
3s_Mom: (No way do you wanna have me angry with you, missy! LoL) OK. Bye bye.
9MonthsAndCountin: Bye bye, Maddy. I love you! Tell your brothers hi for me!
3s_Mom: OK. I love you. Bye!
Maddy hopped off her mother's lap and ran back down the hall to her room. When she got to her room, Lucy could hear her telling her brothers about her time on the internet. Lucy turned back to the screen.
3s_Mom: Well that was interesting...
