I am so sorry for not even updating even if this story is finished. I will try to do better and since I waited so long, I will post another chapter after this... I really hope I can get in a writing mood for my Law & Order story after I finish my computer class..
Friday of March 14-
After Ruthie, Simon and the twins came home, Eric put the luggage in the car, came in and talked to Simon and Ruthie while Annie talked to the twins.
"Simon, you and Ruthie are not allowed to go to any parties while we are gone, no friends can stay over and no ditching school either." Eric says as he sits on the couch with his two children sitting on the other couch across from him.
"Okay dad." Simon says as Drew came into the room and laid down next to Simon's feet.
"Okay, I talked to Sam and David and made sure they knew that we were coming back. They are worried that we won't come home but if anything happens, you know where Lucy and Kevin are as well as the Hastings'." Annie says as she walked into the room with the twins behind her.
"Well, I guess we better get going." Eric says as he stands up then they walk to the door as Drew trailed behind just looking then sat down.
"Bye boys. You be good to your brother and sister, and we will be back next week." Annie says as she hugs Sam then David as they hugged her back.
"Bye." Eric says as he says goodbye to his kids then while Annie was hugging Ruthie and Simon, Eric hugged Sam and David.
Few hours later Simon the phone rings.
"Hello? Oh hi Mr. Cunningham. Oh really? Okay, what time? 2pm at the Kennedy baseball field? Okay. Sunday at 10am. Thank you bye." Simon says then hangs up.
"So when are your games, do you know?" Ruthie asked when she came downstairs to find out if there were any games.
"Yeah, tomorrow at 2pm and Sunday at 10am."
"So maybe the twins and I go with you tomorrow and we go to church on Sunday since we promised Lucy?" Ruthie said then asked.
"Sure."
"I guess I better call Lucy and tell her I can't make it." Simon says then calls Lucy to tell her that he can't come on Sunday cause he has a game.
"Okay." Ruthie says as she goes to check on the twins who were playing in their room, Drew was sleeping in the middle of the floor.
"Hello Lucy? Hey, are you going to come to the game tomorrow at 2? I won't be able to go to church cause I have a game." Simon said.
"What!? You have a stupid baseball game on Sunday!! Tell them to cancel it and I am not going to your game tomorrow. You will have to take Ruthie and the twins. Bye!!" Lucy shouts then hangs up.
"Wow. I hope she doesn't come tomorrow, jeez. Looks like it's time to put the boys to bed." Simon said as he looked at his watch and got up to go to the twins' room.
"Simon, can we eat in our room?" Sam asked.
"No. You had dinner you can only eat in the kitchen. If you are hungry, I can get you an apple cause that is all I will give or wait till morning." Simon tells them.
"Okay we want an apple." David said then Sam responded he wanted an apple too.
Simon, David and Sam went downstairs to the kitchen, Sam sat on the chair as did David while Simon got an apple, washed it then cut it in half then cut it into strips. He then put it on a plate towards the corner of the table where his brothers can reach and eat it. A few minutes later, the boys left the kitchen, went upstairs where Simon happened to be in his room reading and told them to brush their teeth and get ready for bed which they did.
"Go say goodnight to Ruthie and I'll tuck you in." Simon says then they came back a few minutes later after saying goodnight to Ruthie and Simon tucked them into bed and told them goodnight and he loved them.
Simon left the double doors open enough so Drew could come into his room as well as he could see the twins in the morning, he and Drew went downstairs to the kitchen. Simon let Drew out then washed the plate, put it in the dishwasher and went upstairs. After going upstairs to get ready for bed, he went downstairs to the kitchen to let Drew in then locked all the doors and they both went to the living room to watch tv while lying down. After awhile Simon had fallen asleep and Ruthie also went to bed after she was talking on the phone with her friend. Simon eventually woke up during the night, turned off the TV, he and Drew went upstairs to go to sleep where Drew slept near the foot of his bed.
Two days later—
Drew, licking Simon's face caused him to wake up, noticed his brothers were getting out of bed. He, Drew, Sam and David went downstairs to see Kevin making breakfast then let Drew out.
"What time are you playing?" Kevin asked just as the twins came down as did Ruthie.
"9:30."
"So what position are you playing? Outfield?" Kevin asked as he made a plate for Ruthie while Simon got some cereal for the twins.
"Outfield." Simon said as he got the spoons from the drawer, got the bowls from the cupboard then both bowls and spoons down on the table in front of Sam and David, poured the cereal and the milk in the bowls.
They all started to eat soon after Lucy came in, after Simon finished eating he went upstairs to get ready. Drew was let in by Sam who wanted to let him in then he, his brother and sister went to get ready for church. Drew followed the boys to their room, ten minutes later Simon left for the game then his siblings and Kevin left for church.
During the game Simon and four of his team mates hit for singles and a double as well as scored three runs then in the final inning Simon was up to bat. Simon was in his batting stance, the pitcher got ready as the catcher was just off the right of Simon, behind the plate as was the umpire. The pitcher got his wind up started then threw the ball, Simon was watching the ball, just as he was about to swing it, he realized it was going to hit him in the ribs but it was too late cause the ball hit him in the ribs. Simon dropped to the ground in pain and agony.
