A/N: Hey, thanks for the reviews! I thought it was funny how many of you said "perfect timing" in the review. Haha. One thing to clear up, Ruthie is not pregnant, like it says in the 1st chapter, (I changed it from the original epilogue, said in the 1st chapter) she had her baby, Natalie, who is 11 months old.

Still Gong Strong Chapter 7- An Eventful Evening
When Chloe was finished opening presents, the kids all darted off again. Chloe walked over to Lucy with a confused look on her little face. Lucy smiled at her niece.
"Where's mommy?" She asked her aunt. Lucy thought for a moment on what to say. Once she decided, she looked down at her niece again.
"She and your daddy went to the hospital to get the baby." She explained. Chloe thought for a minute, nodded her head, and ran off to go play. Lucy heard a baby coo behind her and she turned around to see Natalie staring at her with a wide smile from her bouncer. Lucy bent down and tousled her niece's hair. The baby giggled happily. Ruthie smiled up at her sister cheerfully. She looked at her watch.
"So...Sarah's not to happy right about now." She said with a small smile. Lucy looked at her own watch and saw that it had been just over an hour and a half since Sarah's water had broken. Lucy smiled and laughed sadly in agreement. The party wound down soon. Ruthie left with Natalie first, who was getting fussy. Simon, Cecilia, Rachel, Ethan, and Charlie were the next to leave. Lucy called over the triplets, Sean and Chloe. She let them know that they were going to have a sleep over at her house. They were excited and started getting their toys picked up. Mrs. Overwood showed up soon after to take Emily, Alexa, and Jen. Emily said goodbye to her aunt, brother, and sister, and left. After they were cleaned up, Lucy and Kevin left with all five kids.
It was a loud...very loud...walk home from the park. Maddy, Luke, and Will rode in their stroller, chatting away, while Sean walked along, carrying Chloe. About half way home, Sean claimed that "his arm was breaking" and sat Chloe down to walk herself. Chloe didn't like this very much, so Kevin carried her the rest of the way home. She chatted away to no one in particular for the rest of the walk. When they got home and the triplets were out of their stroller, the kids went wild. They all took off into the triplets' room in a split second. Sean went with them, saying he would "keep them in line". Kevin and Lucy laughed, and said OK. They walked over and collapsed together on the sofa, turning on the 6 o'clock news. They watched for almost a half-hour when Maddy and Chloe ran out of the room in tears. Lucy took her daughter and niece into her arms.
"Sweet hearts! What's wrong?" She asked with concern. Kevin muted the TV and turned to help his wife. Maddy gasped for a breath before she began to talk.
"Sean...and Will...and Luke" She sobbed, "Said there's no girls aloud in our room and they made us leave!" Lucy shook her head and stood up.
"Stay here with Daddy while I go knock some sense into those silly boys." She said. Maddy smiled. Chloe plopped herself on her Uncle Kevin's lap and looked happily at the silent TV, watching the moving images. Lucy walked into the bedroom.
"William and Luke Kinkirk!" She said forcefully. "AND Sean Camden!" She added. "This is Maddy's room to and it is not your job to kick her out! And it's Chloe's birthday! I thought you boys had more sense than that. You three are officially on time out. Come with me." They boys followed, heads hanging low. She sat Will in the corner of the kitchen, Luke facing the wall in the hall, and Sean was put in the corner of the dining room. Maddy and Chloe giggled with delight when they heard what Lucy had done. They hopped back down and ran back to the room. When they were about to close the door, Maddy stuck her head out.
"No boys allowed!" She shouted. Lucy shook her head.
"No, no, Maddy. Everyone is allowed in there." She said. Maddy sighed deeply and nodded her head.
"OK." She said sadly, and shut the door. Lucy could hear them giggling from where she was sitting. She took Will and Luke out of time out after 13 minutes (her policy was 10 minutes plus your age), and let Sean go back after 16 minutes. They all darted back to the bedroom, and were playing in peace once again.
After another hour of play, Lucy went in to tuck the kids in. Will, Luke, and Sean got to sleep in the triplet's bedroom, and Chloe and Maddy slept, by their request, in sleeping bags in the family room. They fell asleep to their favorite Barney video. Lucy and Kevin soon got into bed as well. Lucy looked at the clock. 8:52 PM was scrolled across the screen. She thought for a moment. Sarah had been in labor for five and a half-hours. Kevin shut off their lights. As they curled up to go to sleep, Lucy let out a sigh. Suddenly, the phone rang, jolting her from her sleepy state.
"Hello?" She asked into the receiver. She heard Matt's out-of-breath voice on the other end of the line.
"Lucy! It's Matt!" He said. "Sarah had the baby!" Lucy laughed happily at her brother's excitement.
"When?" She asked.
"13 minutes ago." He said matter-of-factly.
"Well...do I have another niece or another nephew?" Lucy asked. Matt paused for a moment to hold Lucy's suspense.
"You have...another nephew! We had a boy!" He said happily "We have two boys and two girls now!"
"What's his name?" She asked.
"Jack Eric." He said.
"Oh, that's adorable!" Said Lucy. She could hear the smile in Matt's proud voice.
"Well, Luce, I'll let you go. I'm sure you've had quite a night with 5 kids!" They both laughed.
"It's been eventful, but not nearly as eventful as yours! Call in the morning, OK?" She asked.
"OK. Love you." He said.
"Love you too! Congratulations! Give Sarah my love!" She said. Matt told her he would, and they hung up. She rolled back over.
"So? I heard that it's a boy, but what's his name?" Asked Kevin.
"Well, now the Camdens have Emily, Sean, Chloe and...Jack." She told him. Kevin smiled.
"That's great. I like that name." He said. Lucy agreed. She laughed.
"OK, sleep!" She flopped down and closed her eyes. Kevin kissed her on the forehead, and they drifted off to sleep within minutes.
