Spending Time In New York- Part 2

Ruthie, Sam, and David were eating breakfast before they went to school. "I miss Lucy and Kevin," David whined.

"Me too," Sam said. "Ruthie, when are they coming home?"

"Well it's Wednesday and they will be home on Sunday, so they will be home in four days," Ruthie explained.

Annie came downstairs as the phone rang. She ran to answer it and when she reached the phone she said, "Hello?"

"Hey mom it's Lucy," Lucy said on the other end.

"Hi hunny," Annie said. "How is everything in New York.

"It is great! Kevin and I are having a great time. We are at Mary and Carlos's house right now. Yesterday Kevin and I went and visited the Colonel and Ruth, we had lunch with them and the other day I went shopping for the babies with Kevin's mom. It was a lot of fun."

"That is great," Annie said. She talked to Lucy a little longer and then she let Lucy and Kevin talk to Ruthie, Sam, David, and Eric.

It was twelve-thirty and Sarah, Mary, Lucy and Charlie were going to spend some "girl time" shopping and Matt, Carlos and Kevin were going to spend the day at a movie.

"Alright, we are leaving," Lucy called right before she went out the front door.

"Okay," all three men said back. Then the women got into Matt and Sarah's car and drove to the mall.

The men went to a movie and then returned. When they got back to the house they decided to play cards until their wives came home. When they did it was four o'clock. Mary, Lucy, and Sarah entered the kitchen laden down with many bags. They found their husbands in the kitchen playing Poker.

"What are in the bags?" Kevin asked Lucy who had about seven bags.

"Well some of them are for the babies and some of them are for me. Oh, and I think I bought some stuff for you too," Lucy explained.

"Cool!" Kevin exclaimed. "Thanks honey." He got up and quickly kissed Lucy and then sat back down,

"I also bought some clothes for our future son or daughter," Sarah said excitedly.

"I can't wait till he or she gets to wear the clothes," Matt said.

"Where's Charlie?" Carlos asked Mary.

"He is in the living room asleep in his car seat," Mary explained.

"So, us men, being as gracious as we are made dinner reservations for tonight," Matt said.

"Really?" Sarah squealed.

"Yup," Carlos said. "And I got my mom to watch Charlie while we are gone, so we won't have to worry about him all-night."

"So, why don't you go get ready because the reservations are for six o'clock," Kevin said.

"Okay," Mary, Lucy, and Sarah said. Matt and Sarah left so that they could both get ready and Mary and Lucy went upstairs to get ready. Lucy went into the shower that was right next to the room her and Kevin were sleeping in and Mary took a shower in the bathroom that was in her bedroom. Then they both got dressed and did their hair and make up. While Lucy and Mary were getting ready Kevin and Carlos came upstairs and they got ready too. At a quarter to six they left the house to pick up Matt and Sarah. Then all six of them drove to the restaurant together. When they got there they were immediately got seated.

"This reminds of when I used to double date with Mary," Lucy said.

"Yah, I know how you feel," Mary said. "Except Matt and Sarah are here, and we are married."

"Yah and don't forget that I am five months pregnant with triplets. Causing me to be a little larger than back then," Lucy said. Soon a waiter came and took their orders. Then the waiter brought them their food and everybody started eating.

"So, did you pick out names for the babies yet?" Sarah asked.

"Yes we did but we aren't going to tell anyone until the babies are born," Kevin explained. Everyone finished eating and then they ordered dessert. When they were done they got into the car and drove home, dropping over Matt and Sarah on the way.

Mary, Carlos, Lucy, and Kevin were standing out there talking. "So here is your house, Ms. Camden," Kevin said to Lucy.

"What do you think we're on our first date or something?" Lucy said as she started to laugh.

"Yes, I think we are," Kevin said as he tried to hide a smile.

"Well, then do I get a good-night kiss?" Lucy asked as she leaned in towards Kevin.

Kevin turned away and said, "I never kiss on a first date."

"What are you talking about? You made out with me on our first date," Lucy exclaimed.

"Well you were different. I knew you were the one I wanted to marry after spending a couple of hours with you," Kevin explained.

"Well then, get over here and kiss your wife and the mother of your children," Lucy said. Then Lucy and Kevin kissed. A couple of seconds later Mary went over to Kevin and Lucy and yelled, "Break it up! Break it up!"

"Leave us alone," Lucy said and she went back to kissing Kevin.

"Can't beat 'em, join 'em," Carlos said and he pulled Mary towards him. Soon the four of them went inside. Carlos's mother went home. Then everyone went to bed, falling asleep very quickly.
