Disclaimer: I don't own any thing having to do with 7th Heaven, as you all know. Aww, you're so smart! Hehe.
A/N: Wow guys, thank you for ALL the reviews! I'm getting so many! Can't thank you enough. Oh one other thing: In this story Mary and Carlos' last name has been Ponce, but on 7th Heaven on Monday, I believe they said it was Rivera. I'm not going to change it, just because this is the 3rd story in the trilogy, and it has been Ponce in the other 2! So, I hope that you enjoy this chapter, and please review!
In The Days Ahead
Chapter 3: A Busy Day
Mary Ponce buckled her 4-year-old son, Kyle, into his car seat, and sat down in the driver's side. Cecilia had called to invite them to go to the park with her and the kids, and Lucy, the triplets, and Liv. Since they called, Kyle hadn't stopped talking about it. Like most of his cousins, he loved the park. When they pulled up, Kyle began to leap up and down in his seat, and when his door opened and he was un buckled, he took off for the swings. Mary laughed and walked over to the grassy area where Cecilia and Lucy were. She sat down next to her sister and sister-in-law. They all laughed as Liv ran over to Kyle and got on the swing next to him. Charlie pushed them each (now age 6, he was getting stronger by the day), then got in the swing next to them.
"It's nice that the kids get along so well." Cecilia said.
"It's wonderful!" Mary commented. She smiled as the kids continued to play and laugh. She couldn't imagine what it would be like if the kids didn't get along. Everything would be so different! She looked up as Kyle was running over to her.
"I'm so cold!" He said, shivering. Mary laughed. She grabbed her son's jacket, which she had brought just in case. He put it on, then dashed back to his cousins, most of which were wearing jackets too. It was December 12th, and the days seemed to be getting colder and colder. Lucy, Mary, and Cecilia continued to chat while the kids played and played.
Sean Camden walked to his older sister's door and pounded on it. He heard Emily's music blaring from the other side, and got no response.
"Emily!" He screamed "Turn down your stupid music!" She opened her door and looked down at him.
"No!" She said with a smile.
"Yes!" He cried. He had no idea how he was supposed to get his homework done next to a room like hers.
"No!" She shut the door and turned the music up. Sean sighed heavily.
"MOTHER!" He called.
"Hold on!" Sarah called back. "I'm busy. I'm trying to bathe your brother!" With that, Jack took off out of the bathroom in only his shirt. He ran down the hall screaming, as he didn't want a bath. Sarah came after him.
"Jack Eric Camden!" She called. "Get your little baby butt back here!" He screamed and broke out into a fit of giggles as Chloe grabbed him from the door of her room. She took his hand and led him back to Sarah.
"Thanks sweetie." She said. "Now, what did you need Sean?" She asked. He pointed to Emily's door.
"One word. Homework." He said. Sarah nodded.
"I see." She went into her room and grabbed the extra remote to Emily's CD player (a handy tool in times like this). She stood outside Emily's door and hit the off button. The music stopped suddenly.
"MOM!" Emily cried.
"Emily, some people in this house don't like your music! We don't all need to hear it. Sean's doing homework, and I know that you have finals to study for. No music. Study. Now." Emily sighed dramatically and flopped down onto her bed. Sarah ushered Jack back into the bathroom and ordered him to take off his shirt and get in the tub. After some objection, he finally gave in and did so. Sean went into his room and sat down at his desk, where he had his science book open and papers spread out everywhere. If he was supposed to write a 5-page essay on geothermal energy by tomorrow, he needed to start, and fast. He picked up his pencil and began to write on the top of his paper. "Sean Camden, period 6, 12/12." He moved his pencil to the top center of his paper. "Geothermal Ener-" He stopped as music began blaring again. He stomped out of his room and turned to the left.
"Chloe!"
Lucy looked down at her watch with a sigh.
"Well girls, we need to get going. Maddy has ballet at 5, and it's already 4:15. We need to get her dressed and down there." Mary and Cecilia nodded. Lucy cupped her hands around her mouth.
"Will, Luke, Maddy, and Liv Kinkirk, please report to your mother! Will, Luke, Maddy, and Liv, report to your mother. Thank you." She laughed. The kids all ran over to her. When they got there, they demanded an explanation. "Maddy has ballet remember?" She asked.
"It's Sunday?" Maddy asked sadly.
"Yes." Lucy told her. "You four need to grab your stuff and then we have to go." They nodded, each grabbing his or her sand toy from off the playground and reporting back to Lucy. She turned to Mary and Cecilia. "Well, I'll see you later. Thanks for coming up to hang out with us for awhile. I know that the kids had a great time." She turned to the playground where her nieces and nephews were. "Bye Kyle, Rachel, Ethan and Charlie!" They looked up and waved to their Aunt. She smiled and started for the car with her own four children. When they got there, Will and Luke took the back seat of the Kinkirk mini-van, while Maddy got in the middle seat and helped Liv into her car seat next to her. After checking to make sure that everyone was buckled in correctly, Lucy got in the driver's seat and took the kids home. When they got there, she let them out of the car. Before they could go inside, she stopped them. "Will and Luke, you can each choose one toy to take to grandma and grandpa's house." She instructed. Every Sunday, she took the boys over to Annie and Eric's while Maddy had ballet. "Maddy, go get on your tights and your leotard. Then bring me your hair tie and I'll put your hair into a bun." Maddy nodded. Lucy turned to Liv. "Do you want to come with mommy and sissy, or do you want to go to grandma and grandpa's with your brothers.
"Ballet." She said. "Can I bring dolly? She likes to watch sissy dance with her class." Lucy nodded her approval. The kids all went inside, each doing as they were told to do. After Will, and Luke got their toys, and Liv her doll, the three went to play on the boys' favorite game: Mario Party 5 on the Nintendo Game Cube. Maddy came in a few minutes later. She was in her light pink tights and black leotard. Her blonde wavy hair was hanging at her shoulders. She was holding her black hair tie and black ballet shoes in her hands. She sat down by Lucy and held out her hair tie. Lucy grabbed the hairbrush and pulled her daughter's hair back into a neat bun. After she was finished, she helped Maddy get her ballet shoes on and tied.
"OK guys, time to go!" She said. The kids shut off the Nintendo, picked up their toys, and got into the car. Lucy drove them over to Annie and Eric's to drop them off. After thanking her parents, she drove Liv and Maddy down to the dance school. Maddy scurried into her class just 2 minutes before it was to start while Lucy and Liv got seats outside the classroom, facing the window. Before long, music started playing on the inside of the room, and the teacher began to warm the kids up.
Cecilia Camden cleaned up the dinner dishes and looked over at her husband, who had just come downstairs after tucking 6-year-old Charlie into bed. He smiled at her and she walked over to him. He kissed her on the forehead.
"One down, 2 to go." He told her. Cecilia nodded with a smile. "Mr. Charles wants you to come and kiss him goodnight, then you should probably get Ethan in bed. I'll come and say goodnight to him after you finish."
"OK." She said and started up the stairs. She entered her youngest son's room. He was lying on his bed with his flashlight on, shining it all around the room. "Hey you. Shut that off. It's time to sleep. You have school tomorrow ya know."
"I know, I know." He said, sadly shutting off his favorite toy. She laughed and tousled her son's brown hair. He curled up and Cecilia pulled the blanket over her son. She kissed him on the head.
"Good night, sweetie." She said as she began to leave the room.
"Good night, mommy." Answered the tired voice of her son. She left the room and walked to the next in the hall, Ethan's. Her 9-year-old son was sitting on his bed with legos spread around him. When he saw his mother, he pushed the little bricks off of his bed and into the basket next to his bed. He got under the covers and shut the light off. Cecilia kissed him on the head.
"Good night, Ethan. I love you." She said.
"Night." He answered. She went to the edge of the stairs and called for Simon to come say good night to Ethan. Her husband started up the stairs. When he got to the top, he kissed her.
"I'll say good night to Ethan, and tuck Rachel in too." He told her.
"Thanks. I'm going to go and get ready for bed." She said. Simon nodded and started for Ethan's room while Cecilia walked down to the end of the hall where she and Simon's bedroom was waiting.
