Chapter Four: The Kinkirk Mistletoe
Lucy sighed as she whispered to Kevin.
"Hey, you wouldn't by any chance have that mistletoe from Christmas on you, would you?" she asked.
Kevin first looked at his wife like she was crazy, but then remembered why she would be asking that question.
Flashback to Christmas
"Kevin." Lucy told her boyfriend, pointing above her to a cluster of shining mistletoe.
Kevin smiled. "Well then, I think we know what that means."
"Oh really Mr. Kinkirk? And what exactly does it mean?"
Kevin laughed. "Do you mean to tell me, Miss Camden, that you know not the traditions of mistletoe?"
This time it was Lucy's turn to laugh.
"Oh, just shut up and kiss me." she said, pulling him by the collar of his shirt.
"Wow." was all Kevin said after that kiss. He pulled the mistletoe from the ceiling and stuck it in the pocket of his jeans. "Something tells me we might just need this later."
Lucy smiled, and stuck her hand into Kevin's pocket, took the mistletoe and hung it at the entrance to his apartment.
Later that night, as Lucy was walking Kevin to his apartment, she pulled him to her and kissed him.
Kevin stared at Lucy, but smiled when she pointed to the mistletoe she had hung there earlier that day.
"It's our mistletoe." Lucy told him. "Mistletoe's not just for Christmas you know. And when we get married, who knows, it might just come in handy."
End of Flashback
"Luce." Kevin said. "I think everyone is getting tired of seeing us kiss."
"So you do have it?" Lucy asked, a wicked glimmer in her eyes.
Kevin sighed. "Yes, but-"
"No buts. You, Mr. Kevin Kinkirk, are going to help going to help me play matchmaker with your new sister-in-law. Now give me the mistletoe, and go find some tape, and some string."
Kevin groaned and pulled the mistletoe out of his chest pocket before head off to find Lucy's supplies.
About ten minutes later, as Ruthie and Peter were talking, a bell rang above their heads.
Ruthie, on instinct, glared at Lucy, but Peter, however, looked up to see the source of the ringing, only to find a bell with mistletoe attached. Peter had liked Ruthie for a while now, but had always been afraid to tell her.
Maybe if I kiss her, I can find out how she really feels about me, and if she doesn't like me that way, I'll point out the mistletoe. Peter thought. His plan was set.
Ruthie, however, was still staring at Kevin and Lucy, wondering why they weren't seizing the opportunity for PDA, rather than staring at her.
Peter turned Ruthie towards him, cupped her face in his hands, and kissed her. Ruthie was shocked at first, but eventually gave into the kiss, much to Peter's surprise. Although he couldn't say he didn't like it. He quite enjoyed it rather.
When they pulled away, Peter smiled and pointed above their heads.
Ruthie laughed as she found the string, and traced it right to Lucy and Kevin.
"Nice one you two. Real nice. But Lucy, thanks." She said, hugging her sister.
Lucy sighed and said only one thing.
"No problem Ruthie, but can we have our mistletoe back?"
Ruthie sighed as Peter laughed and handed it to Lucy, who stuffed it back into Kevin's pocket.
"Thanks, both of you." he said, putting his arm around Ruthie. "I think I speak for both of us when I say we will be forever grateful for this."
Kevin and Lucy grinned.
"Did you look at the bell?" Lucy asked, pointing to the bell of which Peter had just removed the mistletoe.
Peter smiled and nodded as he handed the bell to Ruthie.
She turned it a bit to find what was unmistakably Lucy's handwriting.
Peter Petrowski and Ruthie Camden
April 14th 2003
A Love to Last a Lifetime
Best Wishes
Kevin and Lucy Kinkirk
Tears came to Ruthie's eyes as she threw her arms around her sister, and then Kevin. She never was one to be such a romantic. But it was at that moment that she knew she didn't want to wait til she was 30 to be married. And she was 100 percent sure she wanted Peter Petrowski to be the one she spent the rest of her life with. Some say it's impossible to be in love at the simple age of 12. But Ruthie Camden and Peter Petrowski had something that not many people have. They shared a bond so strong it could have rivaled that of Kevin and Lucy, or even Eric and Annie. Ruthie flung her arms around Peter's neck and kissed him again, causing everyone to cheer. Subconsciously Ruthie knew that they were steeling the spotlight from Kevin and Lucy, but at that moment, there was no one else in the world but Peter and herself. Now Ruthie understood Lucy's obsession with wedding bells, and the extent of her and Kevin's PDA.
