A Families Worries
Chpt 5
Lucy and Savannah were shopping for last minutes Christmas presents at Wal Mart. The last person they had to buy for was Kevin.
"I got it Mom" exclaims Savannah excitedly "The perfect present for Dad"
"Great" says Lucy "I'm out of ideas"
They had been shopping for a while and the store was getting really busy. They couldn't find the perfect present for Kevin. They were standing in the hardware department but nothing stood out.
Lucy feet were starting to hurt.
"Well what is it" asks Lucy
"You know how Dad always leaves his tools lying around" answers Savannah
"Yes" replied Lucy
"Well how about a tool box" says Savannah happily pointing to some by the walls
"What a great idea Savannah." exclaims Lucy" Dad's really going to love it."
"I know" says Savannah proudly as she drags her mother over to the tool boxes
They began to examine the tools boxes when they heard the voice of Savannah best friend Ariel.
"Hi Savannah" says Ariel "Hello Mrs. Kinkirk"
"Hi Ariel" says Savannah "Look what I'm getting my dad for Christmas"
"Cool" says Ariel "Guess what my mom having another baby.
"Ariel" says her mother Maureen." She is so excited. Ariel wants a brother; she says three girls are enough. Its time for a boy
"Well congratulations Maureen" says Lucy
"Thanks" replies Maureen. "Lucy Remember in high school when you said you wanted a lot of children and I said I only wanted one. Funny how the opposite happened"
"Very" said Lucy with a forced smile
"Savannah" says Lucy "We better go and buy the tool box. It is time to go home to make supper.
"Ok" says Savannah
The four exchange good byes and continued shopping. Later that night Kevin and Lucy are getting ready for bed.
"Lucy what is the matter?" Asks Kevin "You have been quite all night"
"Kevin I'm getting frustrated." says Lucy as she crawls under the blankets
"Why? "Asks Kevin as he joined Lucy under the covers.
"All I want is Savannah to have a sibling but it's not happening" says Lucy
"I know "says Kevin as he hugs Lucy.
The two of them have been having this conversation for awhile. Kevin and Lucy have always wanted more than one child but they weren't having an easy time. They have been trying for eight years. During that time they had two miscarriages. Doctors hadn't any answers as to why this is happening.
"Lucy I love you" says Kevin "We can make appointment with the doctor after the holidays if you want. Try to get some sleep. Matt and his family are coming from New York tomorrow.
"Thank you Kevin" says Lucy "I do want to make an appointment with the doctor to discuss our options. I love you kevin
