February, 5 Glenoak, California

"Eric, can you PLEASE, go pick up the cake from the bakery?" Annie yelled to Eric who was sitting in his office trying to do his sermon.

"Okay, honey. I'm going to leave now!" Eric yelled back.

People where coming in a half and hour with all their kids. 'Okay we gotta get ready!' Annie though. 'The food is almost ready and the dessert is being picked up. We do this every week it really isn't a big thing. But I want everything to look nice.'

A half an hour later the doorbell rang. "The first guest!" Sam exclaimed, "I got the door!"

When Sam opened the door he saw Kevin, Lucy, Katherine, Thomas, Faith, and Josh.

"Hey guys. Oh, what happened to your arm Tom?" Sam asked.

"I fell off the monkey bars, Uncle Sammy." Tom explained.

"Ow, it must hurt A LOT." Sam said.

"No, it is just cool," Tom, said.

Everybody laughed and then went inside.

"Mom, do you need any help?" Lucy asked Annie walking into the kitchen.

"Sure," Annie said, "Eric is in the living room, Kevin.

"Okay, mom," Kevin said heading towards the living room.

In the living room Eric were watching a football game.

"TOUCHDOWN!" Eric yelled.

"Yes!" Kevin yelled.

"Hey Kev!" Eric yelled to Kevin.

"Hey dad."

Over the next few minutes, brothers and sisters arrived. There was lots of chatter and laughter.


"DINNER TIME!" Annie yelled to the men and the kids in the living room. The kids, where the first to get to the table.

"I wanna sit next to Charlie!" Thomas yelled.

"Okay," Annie said pulling out a chair for Tommy.

During dinner chatter filled the room. Suddenly Kate, Lucy, Simon, and Kevin got up.

"You first," Simon said.

"Okay," Kevin responded.

"Well, me and Kevin…… we are…… having another baby!" Lucy exclaimed.

"CONGRATULATIONS!" Every one exclaimed.

"Now me and Simon have to tell you something." Kate interrupted.

"What is it?" Annie asked.

"Well, we are having another baby. I am 1 month pregnant." Kate explained.

"That is so great!" Eric said.

Once again the room was filled with more congratulations.

"How far are you?" Kate asked Lucy who was sitting across the table from her.

"1 1/2 months. Yea in about 2 weeks we will be finding out the sex of the baby. I'm so excited!"

"Cool, me and Simon are going to do that to."

All through dinner Kate and Lucy talked about their babies while everybody else talked about what went on all through the week.

"Well, we better get going," Matt, said to his wife, children and family.

Everybody said bye and then almost everyone left.

When everyone left Annie and Eric cleaned up and Sam and David ran up to their room.

"Where did Sam and David go?" Annie asked Eric.

"Upstairs probably planning on a way to scare everyone next week." Eric guessed.

Upstairs, David was writing notes down in his notebook.

"Why don't we scare them by acting like we were kidnapped and hide." Sam suggested.

"Nope, mom will get so mad she might attack us."

Sam and David giggled at David's remark. Then they finally thought up something.

"We'll hide under the table at Lucy's house and grab their legs they'll get so scared!" Sam yelled.

"Shh, they might hear you! Good idea let's use it!" David exclaimed.

Down stairs Annie heard the boys yelling.

"Well, they are planning something because that would be the only reason why David would yell that they might hear us." Annie said.

"Yup, they are."

"Well, it is getting late so I'm heading up to bed." Annie said.

"Me too. But first I will finish the dishes for you."

"Thank you honey. I'll meet you upstairs."

Annie and Eric kissed and then Annie headed upstairs while Eric finished the dishes.
