February 14, Valentines day
In The Days Ahead
Chapter 7: Fabulous
Emily Camden stood at her vanity, adding the finishing touches to her eyeliner. She backed up and looked in the mirror. The 16-year-old looked stunning, her dark blonde hair was loosely curled. She was dressed in a short, form-fitted red dress with spaghetti straps. She had on a heart necklace and a silver bracelet. She turned for side to side, smoothing her dress and fixing her hair and make up. She was so busy looking at herself in the mirror, in fact, that she didn't notice her 8-year-old sister enter the room. Chloe flopped down on Emily's twin size bed, rumpling the soft maroon comforter.
"Watcha dooin?" She asked, startling her older sister. Emily spun around to see Chloe lying on her bed. She looked quickly around to see if either of her brothers had followed Chloe in. When she saw that they hadn't, she looked back at Chloe.
"I'm getting ready for my date with Justin." She explained. Justin was her boyfriend of almost 3 years. They had double-dated with another couple when she was 14 and he was 15, and now that she was 16, they were allowed to go out one-on-one. Justin was 17, a senior at Kiva high school. He would be 18 in 4 months. Chloe nodded her head.
"Can you make me look pretty as you?" She asked. Emily smiled and looked at the clock. She still had 15 minutes before her boyfriend was supposed to pick her up.
"Sure." She said. "Come over here." Chloe jumped up and ran to her sister, who lifted her up to sit on the vanity itself. She picked out her sheerest lipstick and put some on the very happy Chloe. She put some silver glitter eye shadow from when she was 12 on her little sister's eyelids, and then put a minuscule amount of blush on her already pink cheeks. Chloe jumped down and turned to admire herself in the mirror.
"Thanks!" She exclaimed. Emily smiled and bopped her sister on the head.
"Your welcome, gorgeous. You better stay away from those boys, cause you look hot!" She joked. Chloe smiled happily at her older sister and gave her a big hug. With that, she started out of the room and down the stairs to show off her new look to the rest of the family. Emily checked herself once more in the mirror before going over and sitting down on her already-crumpled bed spread. She reached down and grabbed her black, strappy sandals, which she had laid out to wear with her dress. Just as she buckled the second sandal, the doorbell rang. She grabbed her purse and hurried down the stairs. She opened the door and smiled when she saw Justin standing outside. He was in nice tan pants and a blue shirt with dress shoes. Sarah came into the room and looked at her daughter and her boyfriend.
"Have fun you two. I know your curfew's normally 11, but since it's Valentine's day, I'll make it midnight."
"Thanks." Emily and Justin said at the same time. Since Justin's curfew was already midnight, it wouldn't be a problem. They said goodbye to Emily's mother, and started out the door. As soon as it shut behind them, Justin took his girl friend's hand and led her down the path leading to the driveway. As soon as they rounded the corner or the path, and were out of sight from the front windows, they stopped and kissed. Emily laughed. They always did that; it was like their little tradition. Justin took Emily's hand again and led her around to the passenger side of his red mustang convertible. He opened her door for her and she climbed in. After she was in, he shut her door and walked around to the driver's seat. He got in, shut the door, and turned to his girlfriend.
"Put the top down!" She said excitedly.
"Anything for you." He said sweetly. He put the key into the ignition and lowered the top of the convertible, leaving nothing but air between them and the 7 o'clock sky. He turned the key, which started the engine to his car, and pulled out of the driveway.
Back at the home of Sarah and Matt Camden, things were still crazy. Matt pulled into the garage and parked. He got out of his car and walked into the house. He was immediately met by Chloe, who nearly took him down, just to show him how Emily had put some makeup on her face. Matt agreed that his daughter looked gorgeous, then continued into the kitchen. His wife smiled and greeted him with a kiss, which he gladly accepted.
"Happy Valentines Day." He whispered in her ear. Sarah returned the sentiment and they kissed again. They were just going in for a third kiss when they were loudly interrupted.
"Ewwwwww!" Cried 11-year-old Sean. "That's so gross!" 5-year-old Jack decided to join in the commotion that his brother was making, even though he had no idea what it was about.
"Yeah! Ewww!" He cried. Jack leaned over to Sean and loudly whispered, "What's so gross?" Sarah and Matt started to crack up.
"Never mind." Sean said. "It's over." Jack nodded his head and walked back up the stairs to his room. After looking back to make sure that his parents were separated, Sean too started up the stairs to his room. Sarah turned to her husband and again started to laugh. Matt took his wife into his arms and kept her there for a few minutes. She finally broke away to stir the spaghetti noodles which were done. She poured the contents of the large silver bowl into a strainer in the sink. After all the water was gone, she got the noodles back in the bowl, and served some food onto 5 plates: one for Matt, herself, Sean, Chloe, and Jack. She spooned some sauce over each of the piles of noodles, and placed the plates at the spots of the table. The family sat down at the table, and after Matt said the blessing, they began their meal.
Lucy, Kevin, Will, Luke, Maddy, and Liv Kinkirk were just finishing up their chocolate cupcakes with pink frosting that Maddy and Liv had helped their mother make that afternoon, in honor of Valentine's day. The triplets, who were very happy that their week's worth of grounding had ended just the day before, finished first. Lucy told her children to put their dishes in the dishwasher, and to throw away their cupcake wrappers. They did as they were told, then were sent to get ready for bed. Liv finished her food next and did the same as her older siblings were told to. After Kevin and Lucy finished, they turned to look at one another.
"Happy Valentine's Day." Lucy told Kevin. He smiled at his wife and kissed her.
"Same to you." He said. "I only wish that it was Valentine's Day every day so I could get to eat these wonderful cupcakes!" He joked. Lucy smiled.
"The girls had so much fun making them." She said. "They were so excited to let you, Will and Luke taste them." Kevin laughed.
"Well, they have my approval." Lucy nodded with a smile.
"They'll be glad to hear that."
They were interrupted then by Luke, who ran into the kitchen in tears. He was closely followed by Will. Lucy and Kevin both jumped up and rushed over to see what was wrong. He held out his arm to reveal a good-sized gash down the underside of his arm. Lucy led her son over to the sink and wet a paper towel, holding it to his arm with pressure to stop the bleeding. While she tried to calm Luke, she asked Will what had happened. He told her that Luke had been reaching for his pajamas, which were on the top of their wooden dresser. He had fallen, and the corner dug into Luke's underarm, causing the gash. Luke howled and howled as the blood continued to pour from his arm. Lucy lifted him onto the sink and began to wash the cut with soap, as it had been cut on their very dirty dresser. Luke screamed bloody murder as his arm stung even worse. Liv and Maddy had since joined the crowd, after they heard the crying. Lucy wiped her son's tears with a new paper towel. Liv began to cry loudly, just because she knew her older brother was in pain. Kevin picked her up and tried to stop her tears. Lucy wrapped her son's arm in gauze, and he finally stopped crying. She kissed him on the cheek.
"Are you OK?" She asked as he took a deep breath.
"Yes." He told her. She set him down on the floor, and he left again for his room with his siblings. Lucy went upstairs and helped Luke get into his pajamas so that he didn't hurt his arm again. After they were all in their P.J.'s, and had their teeth brushed, Lucy had them each get into bed. Kevin came up and tucked in the boys while Lucy tucked in the girls, then they switched. After the kids were in bed and had been tucked in, Lucy and Kevin went into their own room to get ready for bed. Lucy sighed and laid down on the center of the bed, exhausted. Kevin did the same next to her, leaving only 4 inches to his right side. With that, they both fell asleep peacefully.
