CHAPTER THREE


The next day ...

Lucy pulled up to the Camden's residence and parked the Trailblazer behind her parent's car and got out and opened the door behind the drivers side, unhooked Savannah from her big girl car seat and set her down on the ground.

"Stay here sweetie. I need you to help me carry some of your dollies" Lucy told the little girl who was running around in circles on the lawn.

"Okay!" Savannah replied enthusiastically, running over to where Lucy was standing and held her hands out waiting for Lucy to load up her arms with all of her favorite dollies.

What the little girl didn't expect was for her dog, Molly to come bounding out from behind the backseat of the car and come full force at her in the process knocking her down hard onto the ground.

"AHHHH" Savannah screamed at the top of her lungs. She was staring at her hand that was skinned from being knocked hard onto the ground. There was a little spot of blood that was beginning to show and that's all it took.

Lucy threw what she had in her arms back into the Trailblazer and bent down towards her daughter. "Anna it's ok…shhh…mommy's here" she told her picking her up and carrying her up towards the house.

Lucy's foot hadn't even touched the porch when Annie came rushing out from inside the house.

"Is everything ok? I thought I heard a scream" Annie said sounding panicky and out of breath.

Lucy nodded. "Everything's fine. I was handing Savannah some of her stuff to bring into the house when Molly decided she didn't want to wait in the car anymore and just came bounding out and knocked into Savannah" Lucy replied turning herself away from Annie to make sure that the dog was still sniffing around in her parent's yard.

"Don't you think you could have given Kevin the dog?" Annie asked sounding annoyed.

"No, she's Savannah's best friend and if I gave it to him who knows what would happen to her" Lucy replied angrily.

Savannah had stopped crying and was listening to both her grandma and her mom talk about someone she didn't know.

"Your—your not going to give away moll-molly are you?" she asked her dark brown eyes filling up with tears and her bottom lip quivering.

Lucy felt her heart melt and tighten her grip on her daughter. "No sweetie, we aren't going to give Molly away. She's going to stay with us" she said firmly, looking over at Annie she mouthed the words "see I told you so".

"Want me to take Savannah in the house while you go and get Molly?"

Lucy shook her head. "No, that's ok I can do it myself. But do you think you could keep an eye on Molly until we come back?" she asked waiting for her mom's reply.

Annie reluctantly nodded her head and walked closer to the steps and sat down in one of the lawn chairs they had just recently purchased to decorate the front porch with.

Lucy stood holding Savannah and watched Molly start to play with one of the basketball's that Sam and David must have left outside before she walked into the Camden house to rise off Savannah's skinned hand and apply a Strawberry Shortcake Band-Aid.


A few hours later…

Lucy walked into the kitchen holding Savannah's hand. "Hey mom, dad are you guys making dinner?"

Eric nodded as he was tossing the salad. "Want to help Savannah?" he asked his granddaughter.

Savannah nodded shyly and walked over to where Eric was sitting on a stool and climbed up and started to throw in some of the vegetables that Eric had already chopped up.

Lucy walked over to where Annie was stirring something red in a pot. "Need any help?"

Annie shook her head. "Nope, I'm fine but if you want to set the table that'd be great"

Lucy nodded and walked over to the cupboard, left to where Annie was standing and grabbed a couple of glasses and sat them down on the counter and started to count on her hand how many people would be eating with them.

"Is Ruthie going to be home tonight?"

Annie paused and stopped stirring for a moment. "I think she said she was going to stay after school to do some project with Rebecca and Toni and then stop by Jeff and Jordan's house to pick up Sam and David"

"Okay" Lucy replied getting 3 more plates and glasses out and setting them on the counter before she turned around and got the silverware.

"Savannah, sweetie do you want to help mommy set the table?"

Savannah looked up and nodded her head. She looked at her hands that were covered in tomato juice. "Yuck, I'm all red looking momma" she told Lucy, holding her hands up so Lucy could see for herself.

Lucy set down the silverware and took a quick glance at her daughter and sighed.

This was going to be harder then she'd expected it to be.

Reluctantly, she walked over to the stool that Savannah was sitting on and picked her up and headed towards the stairs.

She had some cleaning up to do before dinner even started.

Nobody ever said that being a single mom was going to be easy.
