Hey um nothing much to say just hope you like it and please review!

(Krysten is now 5, Jake is 3 and Katelyn is turning 2 this summer)

Lucy walked out into the hall and saw her two daughters standing outside their bedroom door, banging on it and yelling.Jake had locked them out once again.He loved to bother his two sisters in any way he could which drove Lucy crazy. Another typical Saturday Lucy thought to herself as she walked over and yelled for everyone to quiet down.When the two little girls had stopped screaming and banging on the door, Lucy set them aside and ordered her son to unlock the door.She heard a click then saw Jake's little head poke out of the door.He looked a lot like his father with his blond hair and green eyes.It was hard to look at someone you loved so much who looked like someone you hated so bad.Katelyn also took after her father with her blond hair.It was golden/white and curly and she had ocean blue eyes just like Lucy.In a way she looked like an angel.Krysten on the other hand had brown hair and also blueish green eyes.

Lucy scolded her son as she usually did after he did something to his sisters.She just couldn't think what to do about it.All three of them raced downstairs.Krsyten grabbed the tv remote first as Jake reached for it and the two started fighting over that.In no time Katelyn jumped in too and started tugging on the remote too to help her sister.Krysten and Katelyn were close and hardly fought so Lucy was lucky with them.They shared a room just like her and Mary had all their lives. Lucy once again broke up a sibling fight.She turned the tv onto Arthur and took the remote with her so they couldn't change it.They didn't seem to mind and all took a seat on the couch and glued their eyes to the tv.

"What do you guys want for breakfast" Lucy asked.

"Pancakes" "Eggs" Krysten and Jake both yelled.Katelyn tried to sound out pancakes too just to be the same as her sister.She always did everything Krysten did.

Of course they could never agree so Lucy decided to make French toast instead of everyone arguing agian.When breakfast was done they all went upstairs to get dressed.

"Mommy can we go to the beach today" Krysten questioned her mother with a pleading look on her face.

"Yeah! Beach momma" Katelyn chimed in.

When Jake heard the word beach he ran up to his mother too with the biggest grin on his face.

Lucy thought for a moment how exhausted she felt, even though she had had a fullnights sleep.She wasn't going to get any rest at home today anyways so she agreed.All three kids started running around with the biggest smiles on their faces.Lucy wondered where kids got so much energy.

"Ok you guys have to get ready though we're not going to go until after lunch so get dressed for now.I'm going to call auntie Mary and see if her,Jessica and Billy( Mary and Wilson got married and had a daughter Jessica who is the same age as Jake and Billy is 7) want to come." Lucy said.

Lucy helped her two daughters get ready first then helped Jake get ready too even though he insisted he was a big boy and could do it himself.She wanted to make sure he didn't put on any crazy clothes combinations.When the kids were ready they went downstairs and played with their toys and watched tv.Lucy quickly jumped in the shower.When she got out she threw on a tanktop and a jean mini skirt, did her makeup and blowdried her brown hair ( the same color she has right now in season 9) and kept it down.As soon as she opened the bathroom door she could hear them fighting downstairs and Krysten calling her name.

Mary, Billy and Jessica met them at the beach later that day.The kids splashed around in the water.They were only allowed up to their waist which didn't really bother them since most of the time they played in the sand.By the end of making a sand castle each kid was covered in sand since they liked to roll in it once they were wet so they would look like sand monsters.

"So how you been" Mary asked her sister sympathetically.She was busy with her two kids and she had a husband.She couldn't imagine how her sister handled three alone.

"Ok.Stressed." Lucy answered.

"About what" Mary said.

"Just the usual.The kids, work, everything.They're always fighting.Jake's getting worse he always bothers the girls and they're always fighting.I can never have a moment alone.I guess that it's normal being a parent.It just seems so much worse right now for some reason.I come home from work and I'm trying to get supper ready and they start fighting and I just want to walk out that door and leave.And it's like that almost every day."

"You're thinking about leaving" Mary almost yelled.

"No!Well, I've thought about it before.I never would though.I love them too much.It's just so hard sometimes."

"I know Luce, being a single mom must be hard and I'm here whenever you need me.You're all they've got left don't leave like their father."

"I know.I don't think I'm going to hear from Chris again, I just wish I could find Jeremey.I don't know if he would be in Krysten's life, but there's always a chance." Lucy said as she stared off into space thinking how it would be if she found Jeremey.

A bit later they washed the sand off all the kids and got into each of their cars and drove home.Lucy and her kids spent the night in watching movies.
