Chapter Two: Reunions

LAST TIME ON 7th HEAVEN

"I have someone I'd like you all to meet. This is Rebecca Hampton, my girlfriend of two years, who is now my fiancé."

"Well, I knew all of your names before now, but it never really struck me until now. My parents are Roxanne and Chandler Hampton. They talk about you and your family all the time. Everything has a connection to the Camden household. My mom always regrets not keeping in touch when she went to the war. She whines about it to my dad all the time. I heard so much about you growing up that it should have struck me when I first heard the name Kinkirk. I have no idea why it didn't."

"Um, hi, this is Lucy Kinkirk. I'm a friend of your parents'. I was wondering if I could speak with one of them. Are they home?"

"Mom?" Becca asked, leaving the room. "You are never going to believe this. I am such an idiot. I mean, I grew up hearing about the famous Camden household, but when I heard the name Kinkirk, I brushed it off like it was nothing. I'm engaged to Lucy and Kevin's son Jason."

-----

"CHANDLER!" Roxanne squealed, as she ran into her husband's arms. She had gone down to the church just to tell him about Jason and Rebecca.

"Roxanne?" Chandler asked. "Is something wrong?"

Roxanne shook her head vigorously as she handed him the slip of paper with Lucy and Kevin's address and phone number.

"Um, look Love. I see the address, but I don't know whose it is." Chandler told his wife.

Roxanne, still at a loss for words, pointed to the tiny scrawl in the corner. It said, Kevin and Lucy.

Chandler raised his eyebrows, and Roxanne nodded; a smile on her face.

"No." Chandler said.

"Yes!" Roxanne replied excitedly. "And I'm catching the Red Eye to Glen Oak on JetBlue Airlines tonight. Mary's already hooked me up; I talked to her just ten minutes ago."

Chandler smiled and gave his wife a kiss. "I'm coming with you." he said.

"But Chandler," Roxanne said. "Tomorrow's Sunday. You have church."

Chandler laughed. "It'll be fine. Now do you think Mary's still there?"

Roxanne smiled and handed her husband the paper.

"Johansen Residence, Savannah speaking."

Chandler glanced at his wife. "I'm sorry Miss; I must have the wrong number. I was looking for Kevin and Lucy Kinkirk."

Savannah laughed. "Oh, hold on a minute."

"Mom!" Chandler heard the girl yell. "It's for you!"

Chandler sighed. He should have known. His oldest daughter would always choose to stay with someone her own age rather than someone her parents' age.

"Hello?" Lucy asked.

"Luce? It's Chandler."

"Oh, Chandler, hey. Sorry about that, I guess Rebecca must have given Roxanne Savannah's phone number. That's where she's staying. The Kinkirk Villa is full; as well as Casa Camden. And Ruthie and family are staying with Hank and Julie; they couldn't make it to dinner though. But Ruthie did of course. Just not Hank and Julie."

"Um...okay. Well, Roxanne regained speech just long enough to tell me that she was taking the Red Eye to Glen Oak tonight, so if you could tell me what's going on, that would be great."

"Okay, well, I can understand. It turns out that Rebecca is engaged to my son, Jason. They were going to come to our place, but seeing as how it's my grandparents' 75th wedding anniversary, we were all booked out."

"Okay, well, could I talk to Mary for a minute?" Chandler asked.

"Sure, no problem. MARY!" Lucy yelled. "IT'S CHANDLER! HE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU!"

Chandler sighed. You could take the woman away from the Camdens, but you can never get the Camden away from the woman. Roxanne even had a bit of Camden left in her from her Monday night pizza outings with Lucy.

"Chandler?" Mary said.

"Yeah, I was wondering if maybe you cou-"

"Say no more." Mary laughed. "I've got it all under control. In fact, how many kids have you got? You might as well bring them out here too."

Chandler sighed. "Well, here in Pennsylvania we have four. But if you want a total count there's five."

"Great, I'll see all six of you at the airport at 11:30. That's when your flight gets in. See you then."

"Chandler Hampton?" Roxanne asked when her husband hung up the phone. "What did you do?"

Chandler smirked. "Well, maybe instead of one more ticket I got five more tickets so...yeah." he trailed off.

Roxanne sighed. "What am I ever going to do with you?" she asked, more to herself than to Chandler.

----

19-year-old Alyssa Hampton groaned as she laid her head down on the window. "What kind of airline doesn't have pillows?"

Eric laughed. "Um, all of them. They give out these stupid snack packs too. Trust me; it's a waist of your three bucks."

"Will you two stop arguing?" 11-year-old Shirley asked, blowing on a stray strand of her golden-blonde hair, a shade that could have rivaled her sister's.

"Attention passengers. We will be landing in Glen Oak, California in approximately five minutes. Please fasten your seatbelts and put your trays in the upright position." came the pilot's voice over the intercom.

Lucas watched out the window, staring as the scenery below them changed into a blur.

"Luke?" Roxanne asked her 11-year-old son. "Everything all right?"

Luke nodded, just as the plane began to touch the ground.

---

Mary flashed her JetBlue badge at the security guard as she entered gate B4. It was 11:28, and she had just received word that the plane had touched down.

"MARY!" Roxanne yelled, running over to great her friend.

"Hey. Where's everyone else?"

"Right here." Chandler said, coming up behind his wife, and turning to his kids. "Everyone, I'd like you to meet an old friend of your mother's and mine, Mary Kinkirk. Mary, these are our kids. Alyssa, Eric, and the twins, Luke and Shirley."

"It's nice to meet you. Should we get going?" Mary asked Chandler.

Chandler nodded and after obtaining everyone's luggage, they headed out to Mary's minivan.

----

"So, here we are." Mary said, pulling into Kevin and Lucy's driveway.

When they got inside, Mary groaned. "Okay, um...rooms. The couch pulls out into a bed, so Chandler and Roxanne, you guys can sleep there, and Alyssa can probably stay with Lindsay and Jill in the guest room. And Shirley can stay in Linda's room. I'm pretty sure there's some extra space in Mike and Andy's room where Luke can stay, and Eric can bunk with Jordan and Chris in Savannah's old room."

Roxanne laughed as she took her suitcase to the bathroom to change.

Mary showed the Hampton children where they would be staying, and came back downstairs to check on Chandler and Roxanne.

"So, how have things been, I need an update." Roxanne said laughing, as Chandler leaned over and kissed her.

Mary laughed as well and went over to the cupboard in the entertainment center and pulled out a large purple book.

"Okay, this is Lucy's scrapbook. It has practically everything in it." she said, opening it to a page labeled Matt and Sarah Camden.

"You already know Matt and Sarah, they have five kids. Susan and Faye are the oldest. They're twins, everyone tells them apart by their hair. Susan's is brown, Faye's is black." Mary stated, pointing to a picture of two girls. "Then there's Thomas, he's Matt and Sarah's oldest boy. He's about two years younger than the twins. Then we have John, he's their only son with black hair, so it's not too hard to tell him apart. Then there's Mark, he's 17, and the youngest."

Mary turned the page again, this time to one that said Ben and Mary Kinkirk. She sighed. "Okay, well, this is a long story that I don't care to explain right now. But anyways, Ben and I have four kids. Jill and Chris, the twins, are the oldest. They'll be 21 in November, but believe me, I can wait for that. And then we have Lindsay, she's a year and a half younger than the twins. And the there's Jordan, 16 and licensed to drive. Very, very scary."

Mary turned yet another page to find one covered in hearts and lips. This page was headed Kevin and Lucy Kinkirk. "Alright." she said. "Kevin and Lucy have their oldest daughter, Savannah. She's 24 and teaches first grade at Roosevelt. She's married to Josh Johansen. Savannah's told me that she thinks she might be pregnant, but don't tell anyone I told you that; especially not Lucy. Then there's Jason, who, as you know, is currently engaged to your daughter. He wants to be a police officer and work for the Glen Oak Police Department. He thinks that if he works in Glen Oak, then he'll have his dad for a boss, and won't get yelled at for being late. After Jay they had their twins, Molly and Emily. They're going to Crawford this fall. Molly's on a volleyball scholarship and Em's on an academic one. Then we have Andrew, 15, blonde and arrogant. And then we have 13 year old Linda, whom I like to call, 'Little Miss Lucy'. If you had lived with Lucy at age 13, you would understand perfectly. And then there's Michael, a real Mamma's boy if you ever saw one. But he's only nine, so you can't blame him."

Mary turned to the next page and grimaced. The page read Simon and Rose Camden. "No one really liked Rose at first. Especially Lucy, hence the mustache." Mary laughed at the French moustache her sister had drawn on Rose's face. "But they have two kids. Kristy is the only redhead of the family, other than her mother of course. And Julia is the blonde one, and well, let's just say she drives like her father."

Mary turned one last page and smiled. The final page read Martin and Ruthie Brewer. The picture was of Martin and Ruthie at his senior prom. Mary remembered that night clearly. It was the night she had made amends with her family, and begun her more serious relationship with Ben. "Okay, so, Ruthie and Martin. They have four kids. Paul is the oldest, he's 18. He and Jason have been close for years, so you'll have to forgive him if he's a little hostile to Rebecca. Jay tells him everything, and no one knew anything about this, so he's a bit upset that Jason didn't tell him. Then there's Sophia, she's 14, and her latest obsession is with Hayden Christensen. He played Anakin Skywalker in the second and third Star Wars movies. Jessie is ten, and Sophia's worst enemy. Then there's Amanda, she's the youngest out of everyone, she's seven. She can get annoying at times though, but has Ruthie's distinct snooping quality."

"Mary." Lucy said groggily from the top of the stairs. "Is that you?"

Mary laughed, answering Lucy's question. "Not just me Luce."

"Oh my gosh!" Lucy squealed. "ROXANNE!"

"Oh my gosh! ROXANNE!" a voice mocked from behind her.

"Kevin!" Lucy whined.

"Kevin!" he tried to whine, but ended up laughing.

Lucy stuck her tongue out at her husband of 25 years, and ran downstairs to greet her friend.

"Alright Lu, you win." Kevin said, walking down the stairs at a bit of a slower pace than Lucy.

"It's so good to see you!" Lucy squealed. "How've you been? Where've you been? What've you been doing? How many kids do you have? How old are they? Tell me everything!"
