Previously on 7h Heaven: "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.

Kevin stands there with his arms around Lucy. "Getting you pregnant is not a game for me. And I help out." Lucy pushed Kevin away. "No you haven't! I fix breakfast, lunch, and dinner, do the laundry, I make sure they do their homework, I pick up the house, and I run all errands. What have you done?" "I work so we can live here and have food." "I wanted to work too! But I spend all day with the kids slowly losing my mind!" "Luce you already are crazy." Lucy shot him a nasty look. "I work really hard all day and when I come home I want to relax." "I work hard all day! You wouldn't last one day in my shoes!" "You want to bet?" "Yes! If at the end of the day tomorrow you can look me in the eye and show me that I have it easy then you can relax when you get home. But if you can't you have to help me when you get home." "Deal!"
The front door opened and Jenny yelled, "MOMMY!" Cries where heard throughout the house. She headed to the front hallway where Jenny and Hannah where. "Jenny do not yell you woke up your brother. Daddy is in the kitchen." Lucy hurried up the stairs to Aaron's room. "Aaron it's okay." She picked him up and carried him to Joshua's room. "Joshua time to wake up. Come on Joshy." Lucy bent down and rubbed the little boy's back. "Joshua it's time to get up." The little boy rubbed his eyes and sat up. "Come on Joshua. Daddy's home." The little boy's face lit up and he ran out of his room. Lucy went back down stairs and handed Aaron to Kevin. "Could you please hold him while I wake up Rachel and Rebekah?" "Sure. Come here Aaron." Lucy went back up stairs and opened the door to her twin daughters' purple room. Bending down between the two twin beds Lucy said, "Rachel and Rebekah it's time to wake up. Daddy's home." Both girls eyes shot open. "Daddy's home!" They both got out of bed and ran down the stairs. "Daddy! Daddy!" they yelled. "How are my munchkins?" "We're good!" "Daddy's going to stay home all day with you tomorrow." "Yeah!!" all of the kids but Adam and Caleb yelled. When Kevin saw Lucy he said, "How is Adam?" "Good his fever went down." "Where's Caleb?" "He's still sleeping." The phone rang and Lucy picked it up. "I'll get him Luce." Kevin said.
"Hello?" "Lucy its Mary. Mom wanted me to call and remind you that we having dinner at your house." "I totally forgot. Please tell me it's bring a dish night!" "Don't worry it is. Mom is bringing the main course. I'm bringing a side dish. Sarah and Matt are bringing the desert. Simon and Catherine are bringing a side dish. And Peter and Ruthie are bringing a side dish." "I'm in charge of drinks and utensils. Okay and everybody is coming over at 5:30 right?" "Yeah. So how are the kids?" "They are good. How are yours?" "Good. Have you talked to Kevin about helping out?" "Yeah. He's taking care of all of the kids tomorrow while I do something for myself. Oh and I think I'm pregnant again." "What?" "I think I'm pregnant." "What did Kevin say?" "Nothing. I don't think he heard me." "Try talking to him again. Cristina what's the matter? Charlie do not hit your sister! Lucy I have to go I'll see you tonight. Bye." "Bye" Lucy hung up the phone. 4:30. I have an hour. "Caleb get off of the book case! Hannah do not hit Rachel! Rebekah leave Aaron alone!" "Having problems?" Lucy asked Kevin. "No." "My family is coming over tonight for our pot luck like dinner. I'm going to get ready for it. Jenny come and help me." Jenny stood up and said, "Is everybody coming?" "Yes they are." Lucy went down stairs and out the leaf in the kitchen and dining room tables. She put table cloths on both and got all of the chairs that we around the house and put them around the tables. "Kevin can you bring down the table in the play room?" "Sure!" "Jenny please set the table with the paper plates and cups."
Soon everything was ready and at 5:30 and Annie, Eric, Sam, and David were standing at the door. "Hi Mom and Dad." "Hi Lucy. I brought Meat loaf and pot roast," said Annie. "Come on in and put it in the kitchen. Kids Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Sam, and Uncle David are here!" There was the thundering of foot steps as the kids came running down the stairs. "Grandma! Grandpa! Uncle David! Uncle Sam!" "Hi Jenny, Adam, Hannah, Rachel, Rebekah, Joshua, and Caleb!" Annie said. "You are the first ones here Mom." "Where are Kevin and Aaron?" Eric asked. "Right behind you." Kevin said. The doorbell rang again and Mary, Carlos, Cristina, Charlie, Cassandra, and Connor where standing on the porch. Lucy opened the door and they came in. Jenny, Adam, Hannah, Rachel, Rebekah, Joshua, and Caleb ran off to the play room with their cousins. Kevin placed Aaron in the playpen in the living room. The door bell rang again and Sarah, Matt, Megan, Nicole, Mark, and Bridgette we let into the house. After everyone said hi, Megan, Nicole, Mark, and Bridgette also went off to the playroom to play. The doorbell rang again and Kevin let Simon, a very pregnant Catherine, Ruthie, Peter, John, Anna, Parker, Patrick, and Paige in. Ruthie placed Paige in the playpen with Aaron. Everybody sat down and started to eat.
After everybody went home and the kids where in bed Kevin and Lucy were lying in their bed. "Lucy earlier you said you thought you were pregnant." Lucy nodded her head yes. "Have you taken a pregnancy test?" "No." "Then how do you know?" "Kevin I have had 8 kids. I think I would know." "Did you miss your um you know?" "Yeah." "But I thought we were using birth control." "You and I both know birth control doesn't always work. I've set up an appointment with my doctor tomorrow when you are watching the kids." "Should we could be having # 9 soon uh?" "Yeah. Good night Kevin." "Night Luce." 'She's pregnant! We can't have 9 kids!' he thought.
