7th Heaven
Chpt 7
It was Christmas Eve and every one except Ruthie, Simon and Rose was eating dinner at Lucy's. Ruthie was coming in on a flight later that night. Simon and Rose were having dinner with her parents.
"Lucy this dinner was amazing" say Eric and everyone else nodes in agreement.
"Thanks Dad" answers Lucy "I learned from the best Mom. I can't wait for Christmas dinner tomorrow. Mom's turkey is the best.
"Thank you Lucy" says Annie smiling "Tomorrow will be special because my whole family will be there.
"Oh its six o'clock says Kevin as he glances at his watch. "I better go; Ruthie's plane is coming in at 7:30. I want to be early.
"Kevin I'll come with you" says Matt as gets up and follows Kevin out of the dinning room. Even though Matt and Ruthie both live in the same city they don't see each other often because they are so busy. Matt loves Ruthie and is real over protective of her.
"Daddy I want to go see Aunt Ruthie" says Kyle getting of his chair to follow his Dad and Sarah takes him by the hand.
"Kyle don't you remember we have to wrap but your Dads present" says Sarah
"Oh yeah I forgot" whispers Kyle "Lets do it now Mommy" He starts to drag Sarah out of room.
"Just a second Kyle" laughs Sarah "Let me help Aunt Lucy clear the table. Then we will wrap the presents. Why don't go with your cousins and watch the movie "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".
"Ok" shouts Kyle and out of the room after his cousins.
The kids had gone in to the living room to watch the movie and Eric, Martin and Carlos had gone outside to talk.
The ladies started to clean the table.
"I'm so happy everyone is going to be here for Christmas" says Annie "I just wish Mary could be here. Charlie has grown so much. He looks like mother but he has his father's personality.
"I know" says Emma "Charlie is a great person. He is starting to ask about his mother more often. I think that's one of the reasons he likes coming because it makes him feel closer to Mary. I'm glad he wants to know about his mother because that means Charlie is curious.
"I'm glad Emma that you and Carlos make sure that Charlie is close to us" says Annie "Looking at him reminds me of Mary and I don't miss her so much. I just want you to know that Carlos, Isabella, Sophia and you are apart of this family.
"Thank you Annie, I really love Charlie and want what's best for him" says Emma hugging Annie
"I Know" says Annie wiping from her eyes
The ladies finish clearing the table and sat at the counter in the kitchen drinking tea. They were catching on their lives
"Oh did I tell you that Sandy is coming to dinner tomorrow" says Annie
"What! Does Martin know that she is coming" exclaims Lucy in shock
"Simon called and said that she's staying at Rose's says Annie "From what I understand she just wants to spend Christmas with Spencer"
"That doesn't make any sense" says Sarah "Spencer told me that he and his mother celebrated Christmas before Spencer came here with Martin"
"It sounds like something fishy is going on" says Lucy "It just that I always thought that Sandy wanted Martin and her to be together. Martin always that Sandy will always be apart of his life because of Spencer and he just doesn't love her.
"Well Martin doesn't know" says Annie "Simon told me he would tell Martin. So please don't tell him.
Savannah storms in to kitchen.
"I hate Charlie" exclaims Savannah
"Savannah Grace Kinkirk" says Lucy "That's not very nice to say, do you want to tell me what happened?"
"Well, I said that I wanted a tennis racket for Christmas" says Savannah "and he said that girls can't play tennis"
"Savannah Don't listen to Charlie girls can play tennis. You watch it on TV all the time." Says Lucy as she hugs her daughter.
As the ladies solve the problem between Charlie and Savannah. Rose and Sandy are talking about Martin at Rose's house.
"Sandy don't worry everything is going the way we planed" says Rose "By the end of holidays you and Martin will be a couple"
"I hope your right" says Sandy "Martin and I are meant to be together. I love him as always will. It will be great to be known as Sandy Brewer Martin Brewer wife. We would be in the public all the time and every one would be envious of me wouldn't that be great.
"Lovely" says Rose "Here's the plan"
The women continue to talk.
