Hey guys thanks for the reviews! Just to make things clear the kids names are Dylan and Maddy. I'm really sorry for the mistakes in the past chapters. I had originally written the start of the story with different names and wanted to change them so I read through it but must have missed a couple names. Once again I'm sorry. Please R&R :)

Lucy pulled into the Camden's driveway and got the kids out of the car. Taking a deep breath, she entered the house. At the sound of the door Annie had come rushing into the foyer from the kitchen. Both kids were standing behind Lucy, peeking out at the woman who had come running in.

Lucy knelt down and the kids were forced to stand beside her. Annie took a good look at them then also got down to their level and couldn't help herself and pulled them into a hug. When she let them go she looked as if she was close to tears, happy tears of course.

" Guys, this is your grandma." Lucy said not really knowing how else to introduce the kids to Annie.

" Oh Luce they're adorable." Annie said, a huge smile on her face.

" Where's dad?" Lucy asked.

" He's in his office, working hard on a sermon of course. I'll go get him" Annie said.

Eric then came out and was introduced to Dylan and Maddy. After that Sam, David, Ruthie and Simon were also introduced to them. It was hard explaining to Sam and David that they were uncles, especially because their niece and nephew were only a few years younger. Sam and David were now 5, so only a year older than Dylan. Sam and David started running off upstairs with Dylan and Maddy stayed close to her mother. Lucy went into the kitchen and they sat down at the table again and talked while they waited for their pizzas to come. Maddy said a couple words, but was still shy. It took a while for her to open up, she had to know someone for a while before she felt comfortable talking much around them. Maddy mentioned how she loved to color so Annie grabbed her some crayons and a paper. She set off drawing a picture. After she was done she showed Annie and Lucy. It was hard to tell what animal it was exactly because it had black stripes but was pink. Annie asked Maddy if she could hang the picture on the fridge and Maddy gave her the ok.

A couple minutes later Mary walked through the back door right into the kitchen. She looked at her sister and ran over to her. Lucy got up and hugged Mary.

" You have no idea how much I missed you." Mary quietly said into Lucy's ear.

" I missed you a lot too Mare." Lucy said.

Once the sisters broke apart, Mary pulled the man forward who had been standing in the background, kind of like a shy kid.

" This is Ben, my husband." Mary said, introducing the tall, brown haired man next to her.

Not only did he have a striking resemblance to Kevin, but his name was Ben, and Lucy could recall Kevin saying his brother's name was Ben. Lucy had never actually met him, but saw a few pictures of him, and the man standing in front of her was no doubt him.

" You wouldn't happen to have a brother Kevin would you?" Lucy asked him as he shook her hand.

" Yeah, how did you know that?" Ben asked surprised.

" Well, I came here with him from Detroit." Lucy answered.

" You're the girl! Whoa small world huh? " Ben said, feeling more comfortable around her.

" Yeah." Lucy half laughed.

After that Mary was introduced to her niece and nephew and by then the pizza had arrived and everyone grabbed some and began eating around the large Camden dining room table. This was something new for Dylan and Maddy, because they had never had a family to eat with other than Lucy. This dining room table was full though, unlike something they had ever seen. They had never really even eaten at a dining room table before.

After everyone was done eating, they cleaned up together. Sam and David rushed Dylan outside to play in the backyard and Maddy clung onto Lucy.

The adults made some tea and decided to sit on the back deck to watch the kids play.

Maddy climbed onto Lucy's lap and sat with the adults.

" Sweetie why don't you go play with Sam, David and Dylan.

Maddy shook her head and snuggled up to Lucy.

Annie and Eric had gotten the twins a mini basketball net. The three boys were all taking shots on it. Dylan then grabbed one of the bigger balls that would be played on with the bigger net, and took a shot and sunk it in the big net. Sam and David stared at him wide eyed, as all the other adults did too. Lucy had seen him do it before and wasn't surprised. One nice thing Logan did with Dylan was teach him to play basketball on big nets. He would take him when he went to play with his friends downtown and Dylan would practice shots on another net. By now he could shoot from the 3 pointer line and was working on lay ups.

" Oh my god Luce did you see that!" Mary said, obviously referring to Dylan.

" Yeah, he does it all the time." Lucy answered.

" Seriously?" Simon said, also very astounded.

Everyone stared at Dylan as he sunk a few more shots and attempted a few lay ups, getting 1 out of 3 in. After a while he noticed that everyone had been staring at him and he stopped taking shots. Sam shot the ball at the big net and didn't even get the ball high enough to hit the rim.

When the adults noticed they were scaring Dylan by staring at him they began talking again and the boys started playing basketball again.

Later everyone went it as the coldness set in. It was getting close to summer, but the nights were still cooler. The kids ran off their last bits of energy, before they began to drop like dead flies. They sat down in the living room and began to play Candyland. It was a new game to Dylan and Maddy, but Sam and David showed them how to play. It also had to be one of the few times they didn't cheat while playing. They thought they would be nice to their niece and nephew. Lucy had finally caught up with everyone and now she wanted to know what was going on with them.

Mary told Lucy about her life. She had met Ben almost 2 years ago and they had been married the November that had just passed. She was a gym teacher now and Ben was a fire fighter. As Lucy already knew they had just bought a small house about ten minutes away from the Camden house. Simon was in the end of his second last year of highschool. He had a part time job downtown at the Bookstore. Ruthie was in grade eight, last year before highschool. She had a "boyfriend" James. Of course she wasn't allowed to date, but he was around the house a lot with her. Sam and David were getting to be like Ruthie, really sneaky. This was their first year in school and they liked it. Matt was in New York at NYU in medical school. He had married a nice Jewish woman, Sarah ( as the normal story goes). Annie and Eric had nothing new in their lives except all the new people they had helped. They were so into catching up, Lucy hadn't noticed the time.

"11 o'clock! I should get home just in case Kevin wants to go out I have his vehicle and I have to get the kids to bed." Lucy said looking at the clock.

" Awh come on stay a bit longer." the Camdens pleaded.

" Yeah Kev won't be going out tonight." Ben added.

" I better get home anyways I'm tired. I'll be back tomorrow don't worry." Lucy said as she stood up and pushed her chair in.

She got Maddy and Dylan and put them in the car and then drove back to Kevin's.
