For The Moment

Chapter 1:Part One: Introduction.

This takes place many years after the show as we see it now. Please, as usual, keep in mind that this is my story, therefore little details may not be exact to the show (For example, Simon is with Cecilia). Thanks for understanding!

Matt and Sarah Camden live in Glen Oak on the same street as Lucy and Kevin. Sarah is a pediatrician in the children's ward of the hospital and Matt is an OB/GYN. They have three children: their daughter, Kate, is 13 and an 8th grader. Their son Jacob is 11 and a 6th grader, and their youngest child, Amanda is 8 and a 3rd grader. Sarah and Matt decided to move back to Glen Oak from New York after they found out that Sarah was expecting their second child. They wanted their kids to grow up knowing their cousins and aunts and uncles. Even though they liked the hospital that they worked at in New York better than the one in Glen Oak, they are glad that they're children are able to grow up near family.

Mary and Carlos Rivera live in Buffalo, New York. They are both fire fighters. Since neither Mary nor Carlos really want children at this stage in their life, they don't have any.

Lucy and Kevin Kinkirk live in Glen Oak in a home that is about 3 miles from where Annie and Eric live. Kevin works as a police officer and Lucy stays at home with the kids. They have 6 children: 4 girls and 2 boys. Their oldest daughter, Hailey is 14 and a freshman (9th grade) in high school. Next in line, Anna is 12 and in 7th grade. Twin boys Ty and Collin are 8 and in the 3rd grade. They specialize in terrorizing their 4 sisters. Elizabeth (also known as Libby) is 5 and in Kindergarten, and the youngest of the batch, Maddy, is 4 and in preschool. They had originally planned on 5 kids, but when Lucy found out she was pregnant with Maddy, they were forced to move their number to 6. Now, they definitely know that they don't want any more children, and are perfectly happy (not to mention busy) with the group they have now.

Simon and Cecilia Camden also live in Glen Oak. Cecilia works as the secretary at the elementary school where her 3 children go, and Simon is a lawyer. Their kids are Ben, who's 11 and in the 6th grade, Noah, who's 9 and in the 4th grade, and finally the girl Cecilia wanted (and who's named appropriately) Grace, who's 5 and in kindergarten.

Ruthie and Peter Petrowski live in Houston, Texas where they are both teachers at Cardinal Middle School. For the last three years, the couple has been trying to have a child. Though it hasn't happened yet, they will keep trying, as they have always dreamed of being parents.

Sam and Lina Camden reside in Glen Oak where Lina is a Kindergarten teacher at Kasey Elementary and Sam is an engineer. They have four children: Molly, their oldest, is 9 years old and a 4th grader. Next came Michael, who's 7 and in the 2nd grade. Abby is 6 and in the first grade, and their youngest son is Aiden who is 4 and in preschool. All four children go to the school where their mother teaches.

David and Natalie Camden live about a half hour outside of Glen Oak. Natalie works as a lawyer and David is the CEO of his company. They don't have any children and don't plan on having them for at least a few years since they were only married 7 months ago.

Chapter 1: Part Two: A Rainy Afternoon

Eight year old Amanda Camden stared out her window sadly as she saw the rain pouring down outside. She hated rainy days, unlike her mother who adored them. When it rained, she had to stay inside, and that was absolutely no fun. On the weekends, she loved to play outside with her friends and cousins. She turned around when she heard a knock on her door and saw her mother leaning against the door frame with her curly brown hair tied back into a half ponytail. She smiled weakly at Sarah then turned back to the window.

"Hey honey." Sarah greeted. "Do you want to come and make cookies with Jake and I?" She asked hopefully. Amanda sighed deeply. The gloom outside seemed to penetrate her body as well. She nodded slowly and stood up. Saran leaned down and hugged her daughter. "Are you ok, Mandy?" She asked. When she didn't get an answer, she kissed her on the forehead. "Is the rain making you feel sad?" Amanda nodded her head. "It's ok. We can still have plenty of fun indoors while all the plants outside get a nice drink. Come on, we're making chocolate chip cookies-your favorite!" Amanda smiled a bit and followed her mother out into the kitchen where her 11-year-old brother was already waiting.

"It took you long enough" He said, sounding annoyed. Sarah shot him a look to stop it and he did so.

"What about Kate?" Amanda asked.

"You can go ask her, but I don't think she's going to want to help." Sarah told her. The 8-year-old walked back to the hall she had come from, but this time passed her room, then Jake's. The third door in the hall was shut with loud music coming from behind it. Amanda could hear her 13-year-old sister singing along and began to sway back and forth to the sounds-she liked this song. After it ended, she knocked on the door. After a moment, the door opened and Kate looked down at her sister.

"Um…" Amanda looked back into the kitchen for a minute. "Mom and Jacob and me are making chocolate chip cookies. Do you want to help?" She asked. Kate shook her head.

"Amanda, I have homework. I don't have time to make cookies." She said sounding exasperated.

"Then why are you dancing to your music if you have homework?" Amanda asked, sounding defensive.

"It's called multi-tasking, little one. Get used to it." Kate told her sister as she rolled her eyes and shut the door. Amanda frowned. How could she dance and do homework at the same time? With a shrug of her shoulders, she walked back to the kitchen where her mom and Jacob already had the mixer going. She got up on a stool and looked into the bowl. There was flower everywhere in the bowl and even some on the table around it, which made her giggle. It looked like it had snowed! Sarah smiled at her youngest child.

"What's so funny?" She asked with a smile. Amanda laughed again and pointed at the flour in and around the bowl. Sarah laughed too. "Oh, I see. You know, I used to think that was funny too when I was your age. In fact, once I poured the whole bag of flour in even though Grandma Rosina had only asked for a cup! Let's just say that she wasn't exactly happy. Amanda laughed. She loved to her stories from when her mom and dad were kids.

Right as they put the cookie dough into the oven to cook, Matt came in through the garage door. Even though it was Saturday, as an OB/GYN, he was basically always on call. This morning, he had been called saying that one of his patients had gone into labor. Sarah hadn't seen him since. He walked through the door and walked over to his wife, putting his arms around her waist and kissing her.

"Hi." She said. "How was your day?"

"Hi." He replied. "My day was pretty good. This was the 3rd child of this patient, so labor was only 6 hours or so." Sarah nodded. For first timers, sometimes labor was up to 2 days! Matt normally had to be there for the last few hours of it, but boy did it still take a long time.

"Girl or boy?" Sarah asked. She always liked to know, even though she didn't know the people except for through hearing about them.

"Boy number three." He told her. "Kaiden Thomas. Cute huh?" He asked. Sarah nodded.

"Kaiden. Hmm, I like it. I like Aiden better, but I might be a bit biased." Matt laughed and nodded.

"Yeah, having a nephew with that name with do that to ya." He responded. Sam and his wife Lina had named their youngest son Aiden. Matt kissed Sarah again before putting down his things in his office. He walked out and collapsed onto the sofa. "Wow I'm exhausted." He said, closing his eyes and leaned back. Sarah smiled.

"Do you want some spaghetti? And soon there'll be some fresh from the oven chocolate chip cookies!" Matt nodded and stood up.

"Spaghetti sounds great. I can get it though; you go sit down and rest. You've had a busy day." He told her, pushing her towards the sofa where she sat down.

"How do you know I've had a busy day?" She asked with a laugh. "Are you psychic now?" She put her fingers to her temples and started to hum, pretending to foresee the future. Matt laughed at her.

"I know you've had a busy day because you've been home alone with Kate Jacob and Amanda all day, that's how." He laughed and so did his wife. It was true. Being a stay at home mother, especially one of a teen, was not an easy job. She didn't know how Lucy did it with 6 kids! It made her tired to even think about it! She leaned back and shut her eyes, and before she knew it, she was fast asleep.
