Told from Kevin's Point of View

Twins. We're having another set of twins. She wasn't even supposed to be pregnant again and now we're having twins. How could this have happened? Well I know how it happened but she's on birth control. We had Caleb while she was on birth control. And Aaron. We were going to stop after Rachel and Rebekah but then Caleb came. We can't have 10 kids. I can barely manage eight. She'll have to go on bed rest again. She went on bed rest with Jenny and Rachel and Rebekah. We can't do this again.
"Leave your car here. I'll call your dad and ask him to take it home for us. Then I'll call Mary, Catherine, Ruthie, Sarah, and Annie to take the kids so we can talk." She nodded her head still looking at the floor. "And Luce," She looked up at me. "You're right this is the hardest job I've ever had." She smiled a small smile and I walked back to where the kids where. They had ice cream all over their mouths and hands but I was too unfocused to care. I pulled out my cell phone ready to put the 'watch' plan in action.
The Camden extended family has what we like to call the crisis watch system. Most of the time it works really well. If Matt and Sarah had a crisis Megan goes to Sarah's Parents, Nicole comes to us, Mark goes to Mary and Carlos, and Bridgette goes to Annie and Eric. If Mary and Carlos have a crisis Charlie goes to Annie and Eric, Cristina goes to Matt and Sarah, Cassandra goes to Simon and Catherine, and Connor comes to us. If we have a crisis like right now Jenny goes to Matt and Sarah, Adam goes to Simon and Catherine, Hannah goes to Matt and Sarah, Joshua goes to either Ruthie and Peter or Simon and Catherine depending on who's home, Rebekah and Rachel go to Mary and Carlos, and Aaron goes to Eric and Annie. If Simon and Catherine have one John goes to us and Anna goes to Mary & Carlos. If Ruthie and Peter have one Parker and Patrick go to Eric and Annie and Paige comes here. We try to keep the kids that are being split up with a cousin the same age and sex but it doesn't always work out that way.
I called Eric first. "Eric Camden" "Dad its Kevin could you come to the Dairy Shake and drive Lucy's car home for us? And I hate to be a bother, but could you take Aaron home with you?" "Sure. I guessing your activating Annie's crisis plan." "Yeah. Thanks." "I'll be there in 5 minutes." I hung up with Eric and called Mary. "Mary Riveria." "Mary it's Kevin could you pick up and watch Rebekah, Rachel, and Caleb for us?" "Sure where are you?" "The Dairy Shack." "Okay let me get my kids in the car and I'll come and pick them up." "Thank you so much." I called Catherine next and she agreed to watch Adam and Joshua. Then I called Sarah and she agreed to watch Jenny and Hannah. Normally Ruthie would take Joshua but they don't get home till much later.
Soon everyone arrived and the each picked up the child or children I asked them to pick up while I stood there with Lucy who was crying uncontrollably in my arms. They shot me looks of sympathy as they got the kids in their cars. They drove off and I lead Lucy to the car. We drove home in silence and when we got through the front door Lucy was about to head up the stairs when I grabbed her arm. "Luce talk to me." She turned around and started to cry which cause all of her words to mumble together. "Iwsnteffnjsuodfnenjm." "Lucy you have to slow down. Take a deep breath and say it again." "I'm sorry I got pregnant. I know this wasn't planned and now that's twins I know it's going to be a lot more work around here but I can do it." I held my finger to her lips. "Shhh! We'll do it besides I have it all figured out." I took her hand and pulled her up stairs. "Kevin what are you doing?" "I'm showing you my plan. So we can move Aaron into Caleb's room and we can put the babies in the nursery. And so they can have a bigger room than that closet called a nursery we put them in the office and if it's one boy and one girl he can move in with Caleb and Aaron and the girl can stay in the office. But if it's the same then their room can be the office that was transformed.
