Still Going Strong Chapter 17: A Stressful Morning
Two months later, Lucy, who was well into her 8th month, walked across the kitchen with her hand over her round stomach. She picked up the phone and looked down at her list below her on the counter. 'Mom and Dad...Check, Sarah and Matt...Check, Mary and Carlos...Check, Simon and Cecilia...Check, Peter and Ruthie...oh, no check!' She dialed the Petrowski's phone number and put the phone up to her ear.
"Hey, Ruthie! It's Luce...I'm doing well, how are you?...That's great. Well, I'm calling to invite you over for a barbecue over here tomorrow after church. We're having the whole family over. It should be a lot of fun!...Yes, kids come too...OK, that's great! See you after church!...Bye." She hung the phone up and smiled to herself, checking off the last name on her list. Everyone was coming. There was going to be a full house at the Kinkirks' place tomorrow!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hello, Sarah! This is Annie!" Annie said warmly into the phone. She held her own paper list in her hand, and had a sly smile on her face. "So are you coming to Lucy and Kevin's tomorrow after church?...Yes, so am I. Well, here's what we're going to do..." She continued to tell Sarah her plan. After she finished, she called everyone else. Yes, tomorrow would be a busy day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The rest of the day passed quickly, and soon it was Sunday morning. Kevin rolled out of bed and got into his church clothes. He then went to wake up his sleeping wife. He put his hand on her shoulder and whispered her name. She stirred and mumbled a bit, before falling back asleep. Kevin smiled and tried again, this time being successful. Lucy sat up and got out of bed, with help from her husband. She walked into their closet and chose her large bellied church dress, and slipped it on. When she came out Kevin smiled at her.
"You look so cute." He said, putting his hand over her big stomach.
"Kevin Kinkirk, I am anything but cute. Fluffy, maybe. Fat, most definitely. But cute?! I think not!" She shouted. "I'm the mother of triplets. I just woke up. I have absolutely no make up on, and I look like some one attached a basketball to my stomach!" Kevin looked at her, trying to keep him self from laughing.
"Lucy, you look beautiful. You have a big stomach because you're practically nine months pregnant! Only one week left until you are!" He said.
"Don't try me, Kevin. I'm tired, fat, and have 18 people coming over later, 23 counting you and the kids. I'm stressed beyond all belief!" She stomped into the bathroom to put on her make up. Kevin came in behind her and put his hands on her shoulders.
"So that's what this is about. The company!" He said, sounding like the light had just turned on in his mind. "I'm going to get it all taken care of! Don't you worry about it. I bought all the snacks last night when I went to the store with the kids. Calm down." Lucy sighed.
"Sorry." She said. "Life's just so crazy!" She said, putting one hand on her head, and one on her stomach. She shut her eyes and leaned back into Kevin's chest. As she took a sigh of relief, the silence was broken.
"Mommy! Mommy!" Cried three young voices, and a stampede of footsteps were heard running down the hall.
"In here!" Kevin called. The triplets ran in.
"You're not mommy." Will commented.
"Yeah, she is!" Luke said, pointing to Lucy.
"I know that, silly kid. I just answered because you mom and I are together and she's tired."
"Oh." They chorused.
"Why is she tired?" Maddy asked. They all ran forward and began jumping up and down and pulling to Lucy's dress.
"Mommy come play with us! Come on! Why are you tired? I'm hungry. Let's go eat, MOMMY, come on!" They yelled, all three shouting different things.
"That's it!" Lucy yelled. "Out! Now!" Kevin pushed the kids out the bath room door and followed them out, shutting the door behind him.
"I want you three to go and get dressed for church." He instructed.
"Can we choose out own clothes?" Maddy asked excitedly. Kevin nodded his head.
"YES!" They chorused and took off for their room. Kevin smiled and went back into the bathroom, where Lucy was applying her make up.
"Thanks." She said. Kevin nodded.
"Any time." He said with a smile.
"I'm almost done." She told him. "How does my make up look?"
"You look great." He said. She smiled.
"Thanks. Now, if only my stomach wasn't the size of Texas..." Kevin lifted her chin so she was looking at him.
"You look great." He repeated.
"Thanks." She whispered.
"Church starts in 15 minutes, we need to go!" Kevin said. "We're running late."
"Oh!" Lucy cried. "I hadn't even noticed the time! Let's go!" She rushed out into the hall. "Will, Luke, Maddy, come on!" She called. The triplets emerged from their room with large, proud smiles on their faces. Lucy gasped. "Kevin!" She cried. Kevin came out, and burst into laughter. "Did you tell them they could dress themselves?" She asked. Kevin nodded and the triplets giggled. Maddy was in her favorite black boots, her long purple skirt, and a dark brown shirt. Will wore sweat pants with a huge hole in the knee, along with his P.J. shirt and socks. Luke was dressed in shorts, so shirt, and slippers on his feet. Lucy put her hand on her forehead. "Back in your room! Now!" She said, following them into their room. "Kev, stay here. I have to fix this." She said with a shake of her head. The four came out a few minutes later. Luke and Will were now dressed in matching tan pants and white shirts. Over their white shirts, Luke had a blue vest, and Will had a green vest. Maddy had on a pink ruffley dress and white buckle shoes. Kevin's jaw dropped.
"Kids, take a look at your mother: The most amazing woman on earth." He said with a smile. They obediently looked up at their mother and then back down again.
"Let's go." Lucy said, smiling at Kevin. They ushered the children out of the house and into the car. Lucy, with help from her husband, got into the car and got the seat belt over her stomach, and Kevin climbed into the driver's seat. They backed out of the driveway, and started for church.
