The Best is yet to Come, Chapter 3: A Gift for my Sweetheart
A/N: Ok, I'm going to try to make this chapter longer than the other ones. So tell me how I'm doing. And I forgot to add this in the other chapters; sadly I do not own anyone in this story except Brianna, Eliot, and Savannah. And oh yeah I don't own 'Pieces of Me' If I did I'd be rich. Finally I think I'm going to change the rating to PG-13 just to be safe in the future. Otherwise, Please RR.
"Lucy," A soft voice rang in her ear, "Lucy," the voice got louder, "Lucy!"
"WHAT?" Lucy said half asleep.
"Luce, you have to get up, you're late for work," Kevin looked at his watch, "And I already am."
" Ok Kevin, go before you're really late."
" See you after work."
" K. I love you."
"Love you too," and with that her left.
Lucy stat in bed for a moment and then through herself back down onto her pillow. Great! Now I have to go to work.
"And Lucy, don't go back to bed," Kevin added as he left.
Lucy forced herself out of bed and into the bathroom for a shower. After a few minutes she began to sing. "On a Monday I'm waiting and by Tuesday I 'm fading and by Wednesday I can't sleep," She kept singing until she was interrupted.
"Lucy!" Eric yelled from outside the door, "You in there?"
"What dad?" Lucy asked turning of the shower.
"You're just taking a shower now Luce?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
"You're going to be late for work."
" I know, I'm sorry I got up late."
"It's ok, just hurry up."
"Sure," she said as she turned back on the shower and began singing again.
Eric took one last glimpse at the bathroom door as he rolled his eyes and left the stairs of the garage apartment.
Police Department:
" Roxanne?" Kevin asked trying to get her attention.
"Yeah Kinkirk?" Roxanne responded without even looking up from her work.
"Did Lucy tell you anything I should know about at pizza night on Monday?"
"Kevin, what Lucy and I talk about at pizza night is confidential."
"I should have known that one, "Kevin mumbled.
"What was that?" Roxanne asked about what Kevin had said.
"Oh nothing," Kevin lied.
Camden House:
" You ready?" Eric called up the stairs of the garage apartment to his daughter.
"Yep," she responded coming down the stairs.
"Then let's hit the road."
New York:
"Hey Baby I'm home," Simon called to his girlfriend. Brianna walked out of the bathroom.
" So how was work?"
" Ok, I guess. I mean it's wasn't the best day."
He kissed her passionately. "I have a surprise for you."
" And what might that be?" Brianna questioned.
" You'll just have to wait and see," he said kissing her again, " I have to go see my professor but when I'm done I'll come pick you up to go out to dinner."
" Ok."
" I gotta go."
" Ok, go."
He turned to leave, "Brianna?"
" Yeah Simon?"
" Dress nice."
" I always dress nice."
" I know you do," he said giving her one last kiss.
" Simon go." she said pulling away, "You don't want to be late."
Church:
"Reverend Kinkirk?" A manly voice called.
"Yes," Lucy said looking up from her work, "Kevin! What a pleasant surprise."
"I know I am," he said giving her a kiss, "You doing anything?"
"Now?"
"Yeah, now."
"No, not really why?"
"Wanna go out for lunch?"
"Sure, I don't see why not."
He kissed her, " Then let's go." He turned to leave.
"Kevin?"
"Yeah Luce?"
She walked over to him and kissed him, "I love you."
"I love you too."
Hospital:
Matt sat in the cafeteria eating after just having a hard delivery.
"Dr. Camden you have a call on line 4, Dr. Camden you have a call on line 4," the loud speaker called. Not Now. Matt thought to himself as he got up and headed for a phone.
He pushed 4, " Hello?"
"Hello? Dr. Camden? This is Lydia at Tiny Tots Daycare Center. We have Eliot here who is running a temperature of 100 and is complaining of an upset stomach. It would be great if you could pick him up."
He sighed, "Did you try my wife?"
"Yes we did, she wouldn't pick up her phone."
"Let me try her one more time and I'll call you back," he said as he hung up the phone.
He picked it back up and dialed Sarah's number, "Sarah?"
"Yeah? What is it Matt? I'm with a patient."
"I'm sorry to call you at work but Eliot's pre-school called and they need one of us to pick him up."
"Is he ok?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just he doesn't feel well."
"Ok that's good."
"So?"
"So what?" Sarah asked.
"So who's going to pick him up?"
"I can't I'm with a patient."
"Well can't you pick him up after you're done?"
"Matt."
"WHAT?"
"I have to work, can't you pick him up?"
"What happens if I have to deliver a baby?"
"Drop him off at my parents house and go back to work. Please Matt."
"Fine," he said hanging up the phone.
"Thanks- Matt."
Promenade:
"So Lucy, is there anything you want to talk about?" Kevin asked.
"No, why would you think that?"
"I don't know it's just."
"Just what?" As she finished the last word of her sentence her cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Luce?"
"Hey Matt, what's up?"
"What's Matt calling about?" Kevin asked, but Lucy just ignored him.
"I'm sorry, I don't think Sarah, Eliot, or I can make it tonight. Eliot's not feeling well and I don't want to make him come."
"I understand, Is he ok?"
"Yeah I think it's just a bug."
" Well look, I hope he feels better."
"Ok, well I have to go. Talk to you later."
" Bye," Lucy said hanging up the phone.
" What was that all about?" Kevin asked.
" Matt was just calling to tell me that Eliot was sick."
" Is he ok?"
" Yeah he says it is just a bug."
"That's to bad."
" Yeah, I know."
"Well look, I better get back to work," Kevin said getting up from the table.
" Ok, see you after work," she said blowing him a kiss.
New York:
"Ready?" Simon asked getting out of the car and opening the door for Brianna.
"Oh Simon, it's so fancy. You didn't have to do all of this," she said as they entered the restaurant.
"I want this night to be special."
"Why?"
"Just because."
"You're such a mystery Simon Camden," she said giving him a kiss.
"Thank you Brianna," he said as they sat down at their table.
Camden House:
"Luce, I'm home," Kevin said turning on the lights.
"Surprise! Happy Birthday!" Everyone sang I corrosion.
Kevin looked at Lucy, "You did all of this for me?"
Lucy nodded her head. Then from the kitchen three very special gifts emerged.
"Ben! Mom! Patty-Mary!" Kevin screamed as he ran over to hug them all. Then he turned to Lucy and kissed her, "Thanks Luce, for the best Birthday gifts ever."
New York:
The waiter came over and cleared the table.
Simon looked at Brianna, "Brianna?"
"Yeah Simon?" she asked looking him in the eye.
He got down on his knee and took a small box out of his pocket, "Open it," he said handing the box to her. Brianna started to cry.
"Brianna? Will you marry me?"
A/N: ok, no question that this chapter was longer than the others. I hope you like it cause it took me a long time to write. Anyway Please Review.
