Beep. Beep. The alarm clock next to Lucy's head went off. "Kevin?" No answer. 'He's gone.' She thought. Lucy opened her eyes and looked at the clock. 5:30. She rolled out of bed and headed to the bathroom. After turning on the shower she slipped off her clothes and stood in front of the mirror. 'My stomach is a bit bigger than when Kevin married me. He probably thinks I'm fat and ugly.' She slipped into the shower and after she was done got out. She walked into her huge closet and flipped through her clothes. After passing her maternity clothes and nice clothes she pulled out a pair of blue jeans and a light pink t-shirt. After getting dressed she went into the bathroom and did her hair. She looked her self over in the mirror while slipping on her watch. Clothes clean, hair done half up and half down perfectly, and make up perfect. It won't look that way when the day is done. She heard cries coming from the baby monitor. Aaron's up. She headed to his room and opened the door. The cries stopped when Aaron heard Lucy say, "Hi Aaron. What's the matter? Why are you crying?" Aaron stretched out his arms trying to reach Lucy. She bent down and picked him up. "Are you hungry?" She left the room and tiptoed past the doors of the other children's rooms. After making her way down stairs she headed to the kitchen. She opened the pantry door and picked out a can of apple and a can of peaches baby food. She grabbed the baby spoon from the drawer and sat Aaron down in his high chair. After putting on his bib she began to feed him. When he was done she picked him up and place him in his play pen and went and fixed him a bottle. After giving him the bottle she went to go wake up Jenny, Adam, Hannah, and although she didn't wan to Joshua because the nose Adam made in the mornings woke him up. They got dressed in the outfit's Lucy picked out for them and went down stairs to get their shoes. Joshua who was still sleepy was in Lucy's arms as she tried unsuccessfully to wake up Rebekah and Rachel. It was now 7:15 and one of the twins were up. Today it was Rebekah. She got Joshua dressed and he hurried off to watch Sesame Street. The twins, who were at that stage where they wanted to be dressed alike, got dressed in matching overalls and baby blue t-shirts and they ran off to join their brother. Now came the really hard part, waking up Caleb. It seemed to Lucy that he never got enough sleep. After spending 15 minutes waking him up it was 7:35 and Lucy was trying to hurry through breakfast because Jenny, Adam, and Hannah had to be at school at 8:00.
The doorbell rang and Lucy went to open the door. "Hi Lucy." Sarah Camden, Matt's wife, said. "I'm here to pick up Jenny, Adam, and Hannah." "It's your day. I thought it was Mom's." Although Sam and David were now 12 and rode the bus to school Annie still picked up Jenny, Hannah, Adam, Charlie & Cristina, John, Nicole, and Megan and took them to the elementary school. It was her 'gift' to her daughters and daughters-in-law. "We switched. Charlie, Cristina, Megan, Nicole, and John are out in the car already. Are they ready?" "They will be in 5 minutes." "Okay I'll be out in the car." Lucy shut the door and yelled, "Jenny, Adam, and Hannah grab your coats and backpacks and bring me your shoes." After helping them tie their shoes Lucy handed them each a muffin and hurried them to Sarah's SUV. She opened the door and was greeted by a chorus of "Aunt Lucy!" "Hi guys." She helped Adam double buckle with Charlie and after everyone was buckle in she said, "We're going to have to get a bus to drive this kids in when Joshua, Cassandra, and Anna join the crowded next year. I'll see you at 3:30. Bye kids. Be good. Bye Sarah." "Bye Lucy." She shut the door and hurried back into the house. After getting everyone dressed she somehow got them to all sit down and eat cereal.
She loaded them up in the car and took them to run errands. After stopping at the dry cleaners and the post office she headed to grocery store. She placed Aaron's car seat across the basket, put Caleb in the seat, and put Rachel and Rebekah in the two seats that where below the handle. Holding Joshua's hand she pushed her way around. "Mommy I'm tired! I don't want to walk!" screamed Joshua. "Joshua can you be a big boy and walk?" "NO! Hold Me!" Lucy bent down and picked up the upset 4 year old. "Lucy? Lucy Camden?" a voice said. Lucy stood up and looked around before her eyes landed on someone who was saying her name. "It's Andrew Nayloss." "Oh Hi. How are you?" Andrew took a step towards her cart. "Good. What about you? Are all of these yours?" "Yeah. This is Joshua," She said pointing to the kid in her arms. "The twins are Rachel and Rebekah. The baby is Aaron and the one in the basket is Caleb. My husband and I have three more, Jenny, Adam, and Hannah but they are at school." "So you're married. For how long?" "Almost 9 years." "Good for you. Well I better be going." "Yeah it was nice seeing you." "You too." 'That was so wired' thought Lucy. When Lucy finally got to the check out line after picking up four boxes knocked over by her kids he cell phone rang. "Lucy Kinkirk" "Mrs. Kinkirk this is Mrs. Brown, the nurse at Glenoak Elementary. Adam is in here. He has a temperature of 101.4 so he needs to go home." "Okay I'll be right there." She hung up the phone and hurried through the check out. After load the groceries and kids into the car she hurried to the school not realizing that she was speeding. A police car came out if nowhere. It turned on its lights and followed her until she stopped.
"Isn't that your wife's car?" Brad said. "Yeah." Lucy's pulled over and stopped. "Are you going to give her a ticket?" "Maybe." Kevin got out of the car and Brad followed him.
Lucy rolled down her window and saw Kevin and his partner Brad walking towards her. They both stopped at her window. "License and registration Lucy." Kevin said. "Kevin…" "License and registration Lucy." Lucy rolled her eyes and reached in her glove box and purse to get both. "Are you going to give me a ticket like last time?" "I gave you a warning." "Kevin give her a break." Said Brad. "She was going 30 in a 25 miles per hour zone." "She's your wife!" he said. "I'm just giving her a warning when I should be giving her a ticket." "Sorry Lucy." Brad told her. "Not as sorry as Kevin will be. Joshua stay seated!" "Like I told you before Lucy, I can't bend the rules. I took and oath. And you need to make sure they stay buckled. And where were you going in such a hurry?" "First of all DO NOT say I'm a bad mom because Joshua knows how to unbuckle himself. He only does it when he thinks where there. And second of all, not that it's any of your business Officer, my son is in the nurse's office with a fever of 101.4. But why would you care you didn't want to be dad last night! Now if I can go I would like to go pick up my son." "Lucy that's uncalled for! We are going to talk when I get home. Tell Adam I hope he fells better. You can go."
Lucy hurried to the school and picked up Adam. She called Sarah and she agreed to see him. When they got home Lucy put everyone down for their nap and got Adam some medicine. Kevin got home at 3:00. "Honey what was that all about?" "What was what about?" "Me not wanting to be dad." "It's true. Last night you wanted to watch the game instead of help me with the kids. We have EIEGTH kids Kevin! EIEGTH! I've given up my job for these kids. I stay home all day and I want some help when you get home. I feel like you think getting me pregnant is fun but you don't want any responsibility. I need help! I need your help! I think I'm pregnant again and I can't take care of 9 kids by myself! It's too overwhelming with just 8!" She broke down crying and Kevin put his arms around her.
