A/N: I just changed the prologue, so if you haven't had a chance to read the new one please do because some information has changed.
"Be thankful for what you have, not what you don't," the words from her father's sermon earlier that day kept repeating in her head. She shook her head. It's one thing to want something; it's another to hate God for not getting what you want. Lucy looked down the long isles in the grocery store until she came to the isle that held the home pregnancy tests. Should I? She questioned herself as she picked up a pregnancy test. She looked back down the isle and then at the pregnancy test.
"Hey, what the heck," she said putting the pregnancy test into the cart.
"Lucy Camden, is that you," a familiar voice called.
"Cecilia!"
" I thought that was you, so how have you been?"
"Good and you?"
"Good."
" So what's going on?"
" I met a guy," Cecilia said flashing Lucy her wedding ring.
" That's wonderful."
" So how are you and Kevin?" Cecilia questioned as she looked down at the home pregnancy test in Lucy's cart.
"Pretty good."
" Lucy?" She said looking back down to the home pregnancy test in Lucy's cart, "Are you expecting?"
"No, I don't think so," she added looking down into her cart, "Oh that."
" I understand."
" It's not that big of a deal, it's just."
" Don't worry about it you don't have to explain."
" Thanks Cecilia."
" So how's Simon?" Cecilia questioned changing the subject.
" Good, he's still going to NYU. And I think he's going steady with some girl named Brianna. He came home for thanksgiving, but I haven't seen him since. Although I do think Brianna and he are coming home for Christmas."
" That sounds cool."
" Well look, I better get going. Kevin expects dinner when he gets home."
" Ok, see ya."
" See ya." And with that last word the two departed.
Lucy finished up her shopping and headed for checkout. The checkout lady scanned all the food when she came to the home pregnancy test. She looked at Lucy and then back down to the home pregnancy test and smiled, showing her rotting teeth. Lucy smiled back to embarrassed to say anything.
...later that night at the garage apartment...
"Hey babe, I'm home," Kevin said as he entered the garage apartment. Lucy walked over and kissed him.
"That was nice." He said pulling out of the kiss, "So what's for dinner?"
" Roasted Chicken."
" mmmmmm, my favorite."
" I love you Lucy," he told her pulling her into a kiss
" I love you too Kevin."
Lucy opened her eyes revealing a empty apartment. Just as she was about to get up she felt Kevin's warm flesh touch her bare neck. She turned around and kissed him.
" Lucy, we need to talk." He said pulling out the home pregnancy test from behind his back, "Are you?"
Lucy shook her head, "no, I'm not."
"I'm sorry."
" It's ok. You'll never guess who I saw at the market today," She said changing the subject.
" I don't know, who?"
" Cecilia, you know Simon's old girlfriend."
" Oh yeah. So how has she been?"
" She's engaged."
" Do you think Simon and Brianna will get engaged any time soon?" Kevin questioned.
" I don't know, but I have a feeling they will."
" That would be great."
" Yeah, great."
" You tired?"
" No not really."
" Do you wanna?"
" No Kevin, I'm not in the mood."
" Ok, wanna watch a movie?"
" Sure Kevin, let's watch a movie."
" With great power comes great responsibility," Lucy looked at Kevin. What do you think it means?
" What do you think it means?"
" I think that it means with a great life comes many responsibilities. Am I right?"
" Yeah Luce, you're right."
