Hey thanx for the reviews...Please R&R :)
Simon and Cecelia were waiting outside of the movie theatre in the ticket line.Megan had tried phoning Simon but the line was busy (Ruthie talking to Peter).Her father was going out to get some things at the store and she was going along for the ride.There was a traffic back up and Megan's car was stuck in front of the theatre.When she looked at the ticket line she saw Simon standing with Cecelia.Feeling devastated and angry she closed her eyes so she couldn't cry and didn't open them until they were far away from the theatre.
Lucy walked into the kitchen.Annie was bringing food into the dining room.
L:Hey did I forget my purse here mom? Annie's eyes got wide.
A:Oh, I'm not sure.
L:Oh here it is. Lucy stopped when she noticed that the pamphlet and vitamins she had received at the hospital where now placed outside of her purse instead of inside it. When Annie looked at Lucy she saw her angry expression.Looking down at her purse she found out why.When the phone had rung she had placed the vitamins and pamphlet beside her purse and got preoccupied and forgot to put them back inside.
L:Mom what are these doing on the counter? Annie quickly tried to think of an excuse but decided it was no use.
A:I'm sorry Luce.I was moving your purse and I dropped it.Some things fell out and when I was putting them back in I noticed what they were. Annie finished her story of how the vitamins and pamphlets ended up outside Lucy's purse.
L:So dad knows too.
A:Yah.
L:And he thinks that I'm pregnant?
A:Well, it's the best explanation.Are you?
L:What do you think?
A:I didn't want to assume, but I think so. Annie waited for Lucy to answer, but she didn't.
A:Are you?
L:(sighs) Yeah.
Many different feelings ran through Annie.She was excited, happy,and sad in a way that her daughter was starting her own family.But overall she was bursting with joy.She was speechless and all she could do was hug her daughter and cry tears of joy.
A:I can't believe it.You and Mary both.
L:We took pregnancy tests together about a month ago but mine was negative so I never thought more about it.But then the morning sickness didn't go away so Kevin made me go get it checked it out.
A:You never told me you thought you were pregnant?
L:I wasn't sure.And I kind of wanted Kevin to know first since he is the father.
A:I know.I just can't believe it.Should I go get your father?
L:No!I have a better idea.
A:Really?I'm listening.
L:You know how dad is so nosy and can't wait long before he talks to us about things.Well pretend that I never told you anything and we'll see how long it takes for him to come to me.
A:I don't know.I never keep things from your father and especially secrets this big.
L:Please mom.
A:Well ok.But if he doesn't come to you in the next few days can you just tell him?
L:I guess.Try to make him come talk to me though if you don't want to wait long.
A:I don't think he'll need much forcing.I know him as much as you do.Waiting for these kinds of things kills him.
L:Don't tell anyone else either.
A:Promise.
They continued on with dinner without another word about Lucy's pregnancy.Eric was already getting crazy.It was the only thing on his mind.Lucy acted so normal during dinner he didn't know if it was true.
Kevin and Roxanne were patrolling the next day at work.
K:So I haven't seen you much lately.
R:I've been busy.
K:With Jake right?
R:Yah maybe.
K:So you guys have been going out for what a month and I haven't even met him yet.
R:Yeah so.
K:That was a hint.Do you think maybe we could meet him now.You guys must have had your alone time.
R:Well..., if I tell you something will you promise not to tell anyone?
K:Of course.
R:Do you promise?
K:Yes I promise.
R:Well when I first started seeing Jake he acted you know, normal.But when we would go to his place he would drink and offer me some.I wouldn't take any but he persuaded me into having some which turned into a lot.After that time I said I didn't want to drink anymore but then he'd force it on me.The first time I drank with him I fell asleep at his house.When I woke up in the morning he was asleep and wouldn't wake up.So I took one of his aspirins and went home.Only a few minutes after I got home I started hallucinating and feeling dizzy and some other feelings.I found out that his aspirins were actually LSD pills.
K:Wow.
R:I'm not done yet.Then about a week ago he tried to give me one of these pills telling me they were aspirins.I knew they weren't so I didn't take one.He got mad and I left.I think he has those so he can give them to girls and "take advantage of them" if you know what I mean.
K:Yeah I know what you mean.If he's like this then why haven't you broke up with him?
R:I want to.But he said if I did then he would hurt me.I looked him up and once a girl tried to leave him and he left her in a burning building.She didn't die but got burned.He was in jail for 2 years.
K:Roxanne you can't let him do this to you.Break up with him.And just in case maybe get some officers to check up on him every day to make sure he isn't doing anything that makes it look like he's going to come after you.
