Hey sorry for the long update I've been busy. Please R&R and in your
review can you please tell me which Stephen Collins movie is your
favorite.Thnx, Alyssa :)
Simon chased Megan down the hall.
S:What are you talking about?
M:Don't act all innocent.As if you'd cheat on me with Cecelia.And I thought she was different.I guess you're both like that.
S:Like what?What do you mean I cheated on you with Cecelia?
M:I guess you thought sitting in a dark theatre would be a good place to have a secret date.Well you would have pulled it off if I hadn't seen you in the ticket line.She was all over you.
S:I did go to the movies but that was because you couldn't go out.
M:What are you talking about?
S:Cecelia said that you were spending the night with this guy and that you had to cancel our date.Who was the guy anyway?
M:What guy? I never talked to Cecelia on Friday.
S:But she said you told her to tell me-
M:Quit it Simon.Just tell the truth.If you wanted to be with Cecelia you could have at least broken up with me first.Or were you just using me in the first place so my feelings didn't even matter.
Megan went into the girls bathroom leaving Simon completely confused.But he knew there was one person who he had to talk to.Cecelia.
Dinner had just finished at the Camden's house.Everyone was bunched in the kitchen waiting for desert.
Lucy:I'll be right back Kev I'm just going to go get some fresh air.
Kevin:Are you ok?
L:Yeah I'm fine.I'll be back in a few minutes.
K:Do you want me to come with you?
L:No that's ok. Lucy stepped out onto the backyard porch and sat down on the stairs.Summer was coming and the weather was starting to get warmer by the day.
Eric:(to Kevin)Where's Lucy?
K:She went outside for some fresh air.
Eric knew it was the perfect time to talk to Lucy alone about what him and Annie had found the other day.He walked outside and saw Lucy sitting on the steps.Lucy was so lost in thought she didn't notice Eric until he was sitting down beside her.They both sat quietly.No one spoke, they were each waiting for the other one to start.
E: So, umm how have you been feeling lately?
L: I've been better , why do you ask?
E: No reason. You just don't look yourself.
L: What "looks" different about me?
E: Nothing really, we just haven't seen you much lately.
L: I've been busy with school and everything else. They sat in silence for a bit more. Eric was trying to think of a way to bring up pregnancy into the conversation.
E: So Mary's having a baby. Who would have thought.
L: It doesn't sound really unreal for me. She's always wanted kids.
E: Well her and Carlos didn't start out normally. We didn't even know they were married, now not even after a year of knowing each other let alone being married, they're pregnant.
L: We'll just have to hope it works out. They seem in love.
E: Yah, I guess. Another silence followed.
E: I'm just going to cut to the chase. A few days ago your mother accidentally came across a pregnancy pamphlet and prenatal vitamins in your purse.
L: Wow, I didn't think you'd last this long.
E: What do you mean? Last long for what?
L: I knew once you found those things in my purse you wouldn't be able to take it for long before you talked to me.
E: You knew that I knew?
L: Yah, mom told me but I told her not to tell you.
E: So you put those things in your purse purposely so your mother or I would find them?
L: No, they were there because I put them in there when I received them earlier that day.
E: I don't understand. Are they yours?
L: Yes.
E: So you're pregnant?
L: Yeah. Eric smiled at his daughter.
E: Really?
L:Yeah, I found out a few days ago.Mom already knows. I told her not to tell you because I wanted to see how long it would take you before you talked to me.
E: Your mother knew?
L: Yah, don't be mad at her though it was my idea.
E: I'm not mad, I'm surprised she didn't crack before though.
L: It was hard for her.
E: Does anyone else know?
L: Well Kevin obviously does.We told his mom and dad (Kevin's dad never died) and mom and that's all. Oh and Mary knows, so Carlos probably knows too.
Eric and Lucy talked for a bit more out on the porch before returning back inside.Once inside Kevin and Lucy announced to the rest of the family about the baby.They called Matt and Sarah later and also Ben and Patty-Mary.
Lucy and Mary walked around the promenade eating ice cream.
M:So how far along are you?
L:About a month and a half.You?
M:The same.Our babies are going to be born pretty close together if we both carry to full term.
L:That will be good because hopefully then they will be good friends while they grow up.
M:So your graduation is this Thursday right?
L:Yup.You can still make it right?
M:Yeah.I do my last flight this Tuesday.After that I'm stopping work.I want to be a stay at home mom.Maybe sometime in the future I'll go work again, but not now.
L:Really?I thought you were just going to take a maternity leave?
M:I was, but I figured my baby will need me full time.What about you, what are you going to do?
L:Well before I found out I was pregnant I was going to start working right away.Now I'm probably going to wait until the baby is a few months old before I start working.
M:That's a good idea.
