Still Going Strong Chapter 13: Coming home
Kevin arrived at the hospital the next morning long before his wife awoke. When her blue eyes finally did open, she smiled at the sight of her husband, who was sitting before her. He went to get her some breakfast, with permission from the nurse, and he came back with some pancakes and orange juice for her, which she gratefully accepted. After she ate, the nurse came in and did one final check up. Finding no reason to keep her in the hospital any longer, she was released. She was given more iron pills, which she was ordered to take. Kevin said that he would make sure that his wife did so. They took the few things she had with her at the hospital and got into their car.
On the way home, they went by Annie and Eric's home to get the triplets, who were very pleased to see their mother and father. They each had their suitcases with them that their Aunt Mary and Uncle Carlos had given them the Christmas before, which were packed full with toys and other things to keep them occupied. Annie said that she had taken the kids over to their home to get some of their things, at their request. They thanked Lucy's parents profusely for allowing their children to stay there, then left for their own home. When they got their, Lucy went straight to bed, at Kevin's request. Kevin let the kids watch a Wiggles video for a bit while he put their things away, then fixed lunch for them.
They were almost finished eating by the time Lucy woke up. Kevin saw Lucy coming down the hall. She was almost all the way to them when she caught sight of the food, turned back around, and darted for the bathroom. Kevin heard her throwing up and ran to take care of her. He held her hair back out of her face, and put a cool washcloth over her head. When she was done, she smiled weakly at him.
"Thanks." She said. "Man, I sure hate being pregnant. How much longer will this being pregnant thing last?" Kevin smiled at his sick wife.
"If you're at about five months now, then four more months. And remember, the doctor said you should be feeling better soon..."
"Thank God." Lucy mumbled. "I think I'm better now." She stood up. Kevin went out and tossed the remaining food away that the triplets hadn't eaten before Lucy came out. He didn't want her to get sick again. She smiled and came out.
"I would kiss you, but..."
"Yeah, please don't." Kevin joked. Lucy slapped him playfully.
"OK, where are my babies?" She asked. Kevin pointed to the door of the triplet's room. She opened the door. The boys were building a lego tower on the ground, and Maddy was sound asleep on the ground with a baby doll. Lucy laughed and scooped her only daughter up into her arms. The little girl stirred.
"Hi mommy." She mumbled. "Are you all better?" She asked.
"For now, sweetie. Go back to sleep." She carried her to her bed and laid her down. She then shooed the boys out of the room into the family room so their sister could sleep. They complained about the fact that their lego tower wouldn't be able to come with them, but Lucy assured them that they could play with it as soon as their sister woke up. They agreed and ran for the tv.
"No." Lucy told them firmly.
"But mom..." Objected Luke.
"We have nothing to do!" Added Will.
"Yes you do. No TV...you watched some earlier, according to dad. She got no response. "That's what I thought. Now, why don't you guys play in the back yard.
"OK." Will said. He got up and started for the door. He ran outside. Luke, on the other hand, folded his arms over his chest defiantly.
"No! I don't wanna go outside! I wanna watch TV!" He said.
"No, sweetie. Let's go outside." She reached down and took his hand. He leaped back and kicked his feet violently.
"NO!" He shrieked. Lucy put her hands on her hips. She was way too tired to deal with a mini rebel today.
"Luke, get up. Come on."
"No, no, no, no, no, NNOO!" He was screaming. Kevin came into the room when his wife called him.
"I know you're working, and I'm sorry to bother. I'm too tired to deal with Luke right now, can you get him. I need to go out with Will." Kevin nodded his head. Lucy decided to give her son one more chance.
"Luke, if you don't get up right now daddy's going to put you on time out." She warned. The toddler didn't budge an inch. "Fine." She said, and went out the door to watch Will. Kevin reached down and took Luke's hand to take him to time out.
"Come on, young man." He said. Luke screamed and threw a fit. Kevin lifted him and carried him to the corner. As soon and he set him down, he took off and ran back to the TV. He tried again, and Luke did the same thing, despite Kevin's warnings. He tried again, still with no luck. Finally, after being properly warned, Kevin picked him up. "OK." He said. "It's time for a spanking." The little boy screamed, kicked, wiggled, and did everything in his power to get down, but he was not successful. Kevin carried him into his and Lucy's room and prepared his son for the punishment he was about to receive...
"Higher!" Called Will as his mother pushed him on the swing. Lucy laughed and pushed him more. "Weee!" He cried happily. Lucy smiled. She put her hand over her stomach and sat down in a chair by the door. She was always so tired now, but, as the doctor had told her, that was a normal symptom of pregnancy. A few minutes later, as she was about to get up to push her son again, Kevin came out, closely followed by Luke. He had his hand over his bottom, and glared angrily at his father. Kevin pushed Will again, and lifted Luke into the next swing. He pushed him up to speed, then went to sit next to his wife.
"Mama?" Asked a sleepy voice. They turned to see Maddy standing in the door, rubbing her eyes.
"Hey cutie pie." Lucy said. Maddy came over and got into her mother's lap.
"Who was being so noisy?" She asked.
"That was Luke. He was misbehaving a bit." She said.
"Oh." Said Maddy. She sat up. "Can I swing too?" Lucy nodded and the little girl ran over to the last vacant swing. Kevin lifted her up and got her swing going. He gave the boys' swings an extra push to keep them up to speed, and again went to sit by his wife. She had her hand over her slightly rounded stomach.
"May 8th. That's when this one's due." She said quietly.
"Yeah, that's right. And today's February 23rd." He said. She nodded. "When's your next appointment?" Lucy thought for a moment.
"March 6th." She said.
"OK. And we're really not finding out the sex of the baby?" He asked.
"Nope." She answered.
"Really really? Cause last time you said that you could never do that...not find out the sex of the baby..."
"Really, Kev!" She laughed. "What's with you?"
"I don't know. I'm just curious, that's all."
"It'll be more fun to fin out when he or she's born."
"OK...whatever you say..." Kevin said. They laughed. Kevin leaned over to kiss his bride. He was about to do so again when there was a chorus of:
"Higher!" from where the swings were located. They laughed and each got up to give the swings a push. It was turning out to be a nice afternoon after all.
A/N: Review please! I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
