Lucy just gave birth to a healthy and beautiful baby girl named Ashlee Jennifer Kinkirk! I'M A DAD! Kevin exclaimed.

Everyone ran up to Kevin and gave him a huge hug and congratulations. Than all the family went in and saw Lucy and Ashlee.

Soo, are we gonna sing the birth song or what, cause I didn't go through labor not to hear it!

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it

Love is all around no need to waste it
You can have the town why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all The family sang and Annie started to cry.

Mom, Ashlee's middle name is Jennifer in honor of grandma Jenny. Lucy smiled and cried as she hugged her mother.

Luce, I wish she could be here with us right now, but she is always in our hearts. Annie told Lucy.

Kevin can I hold my granddaughter? Eric asked.

Sure dad. Kevin said as he gave Ashlee to Eric. Eric started to cry with happiness but he couldn't believe his baby girl had her first child.

She's beautiful Luce. Eric smiled.

Can I hold her now? Annie asked anxiously.

Fine. Take her from me. Eric said as he smiled.

I will. Luce, it's official, my cancer is in remission.

Mom that's so great. This is one of the happiest days of my life. Lucy said, in awe of how many great things could happen in one day.

The whole family took turns holding Ashlee. The next day Lucy and Ashlee were ready to go home. When Lucy got there she was surprised to see that the nursery had been decorated purple and pink, thanks to Kevin, Annie, Mary, Sarah, Ruthie and Eric.

I love you Kevin Kinkirk. Lucy said as she put Ashlee in her crib.

I love you Lucy Kinkirk. Kevin said as he gave his wife a passionate kiss. And then it began, Ashlee started to cry.

BACK AT THE CAMDEN HOUSE
How do you think Luce and Kevin are doing? Annie asked nervously.

Probably fine but I'm guessing Ashlee is crying right now. Eric said calmly as he read the newspaper.

Isn't Ashlee Jennifer such a beautiful name? I couldn't have thought of a better one myself. I think that I'm going to go over there and help Luce. Annie said.

Ok Annie but eventually she's gonna have to deal with Ashlee on her own. Eric said.

I know. I'm just being a mother. So I'll go call her. I think I am going to get Ruthie to go too. Annie said.

Ruthie, would you come down here? Annie said yelling up the stairs.

Yah mom. What do you need? Ruthie asked, coming down the stairs.

Do you want to come over to Luce's with me? I'm just about to call her.

Sure. I need to ask her some questions anyway.

What kind of questions?

It's personal, she has been helping me with my love life lately.

Okay, but just remember I am your mother. Annie said as she dialed Lucy's number.

I know.

Hey Luce, can Ruthie and I come over?

Sure, if you want to. Sergeant Michaels just called and Kevin has to go to work. It's an emergency or something. Sarah, Cecillia, and Mary are coming over too. Matt and Simon said they were gonna go hang out with dad and Kevin said he is going to go over there when he is finished with work.

Ok. We are leaving right now. Bye Annie hung up the phone, let Eric know they were leaving, got the car keys and left.

Eric walked into the kitchen and called Matt. Call Simon. Are you ready?

Yah, I'm ready. We will be right over!

MEANWHILE BACK AT THE POLICE STATION
Hey Kinkirk. Long time no see. How's Lucy? Brad said, he was one of Kevin's friends from the force. He had three kids of his own.

She had the baby at 7:00 last night. It's a beautiful baby girl named Ashlee Jennifer. Kevin said, he sounded exhausted.

Congratulations, but you know the next 6 weeks are the most difficult weeks of all.

Yeah, I know. Kevin said coyly, But I'll manage. I'm going to my in-laws house after work.



I'll let you in on a secret.

BACK AT THE KINKIRKS
So Luce, how does it feel being a mother? Cecillia asked.

Great, but EXTREMELY tiring. Mom I don't know how you had seven of us.

It wasn't easy, but it all paid off.

I know, that's why Kevin and I decided we want a big family. I loved growing up with so much love and support.

I'm glad. Annie said happily as she held Ashlee in her arms and rocked her back and fourth gently.

So Luce, I have some questions about relationships, I'm bored with George. He always talks about the stupidest things. How should I break up with him?

Do it gently, like George it's not working between the two of us. Don't hurt his feelings to bad cause he might take revenge.

Also, I like Peter again. I think it was a mistake we broke up but he is dating another girl, not seriously but they are going out like 3 times a week.

Who told you it wasn't serious?

The girl Peter has been dating, her name is Emily.

Oh than her hidden meaning is, I think it's serious but I'm just trying to make you want him back so you can just end up heartbroken. But the good news is that Peter most likely doesn't want to date her seriously because if he did Emily would have said it was serious.

Gosh Luce, how did you learn all of this stuff? Cecillia asked.

Here and there and personal experience. Talk to Peter, tell him how you feel but under no circumstance kiss him hold his hand or show any sign of affection because than you will have his angry ex on your back, ten times more than you normally would. Let him work it out if he really has feelings for you.

Thanks Luce. Can I use your phone? asked Ruthie.

Sure. It's on the kitchen counter, remember be honest but don't spill all your guts. Lucy said.

Lucy loved her house so much. It was a creme colored house with white shutters and a picket fence. Her kitchen had beautiful granite countertops and chestnut colored cabinets. She had a nice sized yard with a picnic table in the back. There were 4 bedrooms, a study, a pantry, a basement, 3 bathrooms, a family room, and a dining room. The study was Lucy's office and they finished off the basement for Kevin's office. There was a nice sized attic that they would finnish one day, if they had enough kids.

Motherhood is hard but you will love it. Mary said, in an older sister tone.

Thanks you guys for all of your support.

Oh by the way, Kevin will probably drive you crazy over the next 6 weeks. Sarah said.

I bet he will. Lucy laughed, and everyone laughed along with her.

DING DONG, DING DONG, DING DONG, DING DONG The doorbell chimed.

I'll be right back. Lucy got up and went to the front door. She opened the door and was surprised at what she saw.
