A/N: This is my first fanfic but I've been to the 7th heaven section
quite often and I absolutely love it. The problem, though, is that almost
all the fics either portray Kevin as a wife-beater (not that I don't
appreciate those fics a lot are really well-written, same goes for the
fics on pregnancy.), one he very clearly isn't or Lucy as pregnant.
Anyone can clearly see that he isn't a wife beater; sometimes he's too
kind and gentle with Lucy, that it annoys me. And the pregnancy thing is
good but it gets boring after a while. So I decided to do my own take on
the pregnancy fic, I promise it will be different, really different! So
here goes:
"Mom, could you please tell everyone, I have something to tell them
tonight at home?" Mary requested Annie.
"Sure, including Sarah and Matt?"
"Yes, everyone, except, Sam and David... Just nine of us"
"You mean ten... We might as well count Lucy twice."
"Oh yeah." Mary laughed "She must be really big"
"Well, at 30 weeks what would you expect?"
"Anyway, Mom, I really need all of you there."
"Sure Mary." Annie said, sounding puzzled and a bit worried at her
daughter's latest activities. Mary did have a history of getting into
trouble.
"Lucy" Annie called
"Mom?" Lucy came down the stairs "What's up?"
"Luce, Mary called to say she wants to meet all of us tonight."
"Why?"
"I don't know, she just said she had something important to say and
everyone had to be there."
"Oh, but, Kevin's working tonight."
"Lucy, could you ask him if he could come home earlier?" Annie asked "It
seems like this really means a lot to Mary."
Lucy readily agreed "Sure he works to often, anyway. It is time for him
to spend a bit of time with his pregnant wife."
Annie laughed and then turned to face the kitchen to start dinner, all
the while wondering what was going on.

Mary nervously looked around the table. Everyone was there except for
Kevin who called to say be a little late. After five minutes of waiting
Mary got to nervous and asked Lucy it was fine with her if she said what
she had to without Kevin.
"Sure, Mare." Lucy replied "I'll fill him in later."
"Um. Ok. In that case, I better get it over with." Mary stammered "Mom,
Dad, I'm sorry I really am, but I'm .... I'm... pregnant and I don't know who
the father is."
Everyone just stared at her in shock.
It was Lucy, who finally chose to speak, "Mary how could you? After all
that, Dad thought us, how could you?"
Mary sat, stunned, this was her little sister, Lucy, the one with more
boyfriends than she could count. "You're one to talk; you quit college in
order to marry... By the way, how many of your boyfriends did you do it
with?"
Lucy stared at her sister shocked and outraged at her accusations. The
rest of the family, still reeling at the shock of Mary's announcement
kept silent.
"For your information Mary, I quit because I wanted to devote myself to
being a wife to Kevin and a mother." Lucy screamed, seething mad and
wanting to kill Mary" I knew that Glen Oak wasn't in desperate need for a
pastor, and besides what is a more God-serving job then being a good wife
and mother?"
At that moment, Kevin entered the house to hear his wife's indignant
screams filling the house.
"Oh no" he muttered to himself "Camden World War 10, here we come."
"And by the way, I only slept with one of my boyfriends." She yelled at
Mary, just as Kevin entered the dining room. "Unlike you of course, you
threw yourself at each one of them."
With that, Lucy ran upstairs to the garage apartment. Halfway upstairs,
she turned around and added, just to make sure they got her point. "AND
THAT BOYFRIEND WAS KEVIN!!!"
Finally, everyone noticed Kevin's presence.
Eric stared accusingly at Kevin, sick at the idea that perhaps they had
committed a sin as grave as premarital sex, inside his house, inside the
church's house.
Noticing and accurately deciphering Eric's look, Kevin was quick to reply
"that was after we were married, Reverend Camden." He chose to address he
father-in-law through his formal title.
Eric gave him a short but sincere smile knowing that his daughter had
chosen well. He momentarily forgot Mary.
Annie stood up, scared that Lucy was this upset in her present condition,
and told Kevin that he better check on Lucy.
She then turned to Mary and joined Eric in yelling at her for being so
foolish and misjudging her sister so badly.
As soon as Kevin entered the garage apartment, he saw Lucy sobbing on
their bed. He sat on their bed and took her in his arms.
"Kevin, am I really like that?" Lucy sobbed "Do I act like that? Was that
your first impression of me?"
"No, no, you're not, Lucy, don't cry." Kevin comforted her.
Suddenly, he felt the moisture on the bed. He nervously looked down,
thinking Lucy's water had broken. But, his nervousness turned to horror
soon enough, when he saw blood.
"Lucy" He looked up to see her face contorted in pain.
"Oh my god, ow, it hurts so much." She cried, her tears of sorrow turning
to tears of pain.
"Lucy calm down." Kevin soothed her, sounding panicky, himself.
"Ok, darling, I'll bring you to the hospital, now." Kevin began, and then
remembered the basic first aid training he had received as a police
officer. "Walking speeds up the process of giving birth." He murmured to
himself. So instead he carried her downstairs.
"Mary, how on earth could you be so stupid and you upset you sist-" Eric
broke off, when he saw Kevin, his eyes traveled to Kevin's blood-stained
police uniform and Lucy.
"Get into the car, now. I'll drive" Eric commanded
Kevin wordlessly rushed to the car more worried than ever, as Lucy had
passed out in his arms.
When they got to the car, Matt forced Eric to allow him to drive instead.
"Dad, look you can't drive like this go sit in the back with Mom, Kevin
and Lucy." Matt told his father, seeing Eric's face, he added "I'm her OB-
GYN, remember? She and the baby are healthy, they'll make it"
Eric obeyed, without saying a word.
He got in the back and watched as Annie cried and brushed Lucy's hair
away form her face. He watched Kevin silently wipe tears away from his
eyes as his radioed his colleagues their plate number and let them know
that they had to let all the traffic enforcers know that he would be
speeding at an extremely high rate. He didn't want anymore disruptions.
He looked on, as Kevin bent down to kiss Lucy's hand and whisper
something in her ear. He had never believed in Kevin's love for Lucy more
than he did then.
Eric wondered why God had done this; he had been a faithful servant for
more than 25 years and now this. A grandchild born out of wedlock. The
possible loss of what would have been his first grandchild and as well as
his second daughter, did he deserve this? Eric's lips moved in silent
prayer and he prayed more fervently than he had ever before. He prayed
for Mary, he prayed for Lucy's child, he prayed for Lucy, he prayed for
Kevin, he prayed for Annie, but mostly, he just prayed that God would
protect his them. Hopefully, God would protect his daughter....He couldn't
take her away when she was so close to achieving everything she had
wanted...
