Chapter Three: A Mother's Waffles
LAST TIME ON 7th HEAVEN
"Yes!" Roxanne replied excitedly. "And I'm catching the Red Eye to Glen Oak on Jet Blue Airlines tonight. Mary's already hooked me up; I talked to her just ten minutes ago."
"Johansen Residence, Savannah speaking."
"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."
"Mary." Lucy said groggily from the top of the stairs. "Is that you?"
"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!"
-------
Roxanne laughed. "Okay, well, Becca's our oldest, and then we have Eric, who you heard on the phone earlier. He'll be 18 in December. Oh, and Aly's 19, but she doesn't live at home either. She's going to be a sophomore at Penn State this year. And then we have our twins, Luke and Shirley. They're 11, and complete opposites."
"Who're complete opposites?" Ben asked, as he came downstairs.
Chandler's eyes widened, as he turned to Lucy. "Well Luce, sorry to cut your chit chat short, but we should be getting some sleep. And after all, isn't girls night out on Monday?"
Roxanne laughed, as Ben scowled. Mary, of course, was completely clueless. She may have been at Lucy's wedding, but she knew nothing about the fight.
"Oh, c'mon. Ben," Mary said, addressing her husband. "Have you met Chandler and Roxanne?"
Ben gulped. "Yeah, you could say that. We talked a bit at Luce and Kevin's wedding."
Kevin laughed. "You have GOT to be kidding me. Look Mary, I know you're Lucy's sister, and Roxanne is her best friend, but no one or no thing in the entire world could get your husbands to get along. They didn't talk at the wedding. They mocked and ridiculed each other while beating each other up before the wedding on the way from Vegas."
Mary glared at her husband, and gave Chandler an apologizing glance. "Well then," she told Kevin. "They'll just have to make a better effort to be friends.
Lucy snorted, as Chris came down the stairs.
"Mom, Dad, Aunt Lucy, Uncle Kevin," he said. "You are aware that it's three o' clock in the morning, aren't you?"
Lucy laughed and nodded. "Chris, this is my best friend, Roxanne Richards-er-Hampton, and her husband Chandler. Gosh I'm gonna have to get used to that, but anyways; Roxanne, Chandler, this is my nephew, Christopher. I have a great idea! Chris, go wake everyone up, and I'll make some waffles!"
Chris raised his eyebrows, but did as he was told.
Upon entering the guest room, he was in shock. On the floor, stretched out in a sleeping bag, had to have been the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.
It took a few minutes, but Chris finally came to his senses and shook his twin sister awake, pulling her out into the hall.
"Jill!" he whined. "Help!"
Jill laughed. "Um, Chris...are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, but um...I think I might like that girl in there. The one in the sleeping bag on the floor by Lindsay's bed."
"Chris, it'll be fine. But no matter what, you better get used to her. That's Alyssa; Becca's sister."
Chris groaned. "Oh well, Aunt Lucy's making waffles, and she wants everyone up."
Jill smiled. "Waffles? We had waffles this morning!"
"Yeah yeah yeah, but Aunt Lucy's makin 'em, and we're gonna eat 'em. Now c'mon, let's go."
It was then that Alyssa and Lindsay came out from the guest room.
"Jill?" Alyssa asked. "Is everything alright?"
Jill laughed and smiled at her brother. "Yeah, my Aunt Lucy's decided to make waffles, and that normally means she's up to something. She wants everyone up and downstairs now. Oh, and Aly, this is my brother Chris. Chris, this is Aly. Now move it people!"
Alyssa, Lindsay and Chris laughed as they began to run down the hall towards Savannah's old room.
----
"Oh no!" Simon growled at his wife. "I swore about a month before we started dating that I would never, ever eat another waffle as long as I lived. And I'm going to hold to that. In this family, waffles mean something. Now it may not be my mom, but waffles are waffles. I'm not gonna get up out of bed just to go to Lucy's and have waffles."
Rose smiled. "But Simon, I'd love to meet Chandler and Roxanne. I've heard so much about them.
----
"Ruth," Martin said. "Lucy wants us to come over for waffles."
"NEVER!" Ruthie yelled. "I remember the last time this family had waffles, and I'm pretty sure you do too. There is absolutely NO way I'm going to have waffles! Lucy doesn't just want to have waffles, there's some sort of scheme here."
Martin smiled at his wife. "True, but it's a good scheme, not a bad one. Trust me, I'd tell you now, but it's supposed to be a surprise."
Ruthie laughed as she went to wake her four children.
----
"WHAT?" Matt yelled at his brother. "NO WAY! Lucy wants to have waffles? You have GOT to be kidding me. The last thing this family wants or needs is waffles!"
"That's exactly what I said, but I'm afraid there's no getting out of this one." Simon replied. "We might as well go, I mean, Roxanne is Lucy's best friend, and Rebecca will be our niece-in-law once she marries Jason, so we owe it to both of them to get to know the Hamptons better."
Matt smiled and patted his brother on the back. "Nice to see you're finally growing up Simon."
The two brothers laughed as they walked out of the garage apartment to meet their wives who had gone to wake up the children.
----
"Becca," Jason whispered in his fiancé's ear. "You gotta wake up hon. Mom's making waffles, and she wants the whole family there. Besides, your parents are in town, with all of your brothers and sisters as well. C'mon Becca!" he whined. "REBECCA LUCY HAMPTON! WAKE UP NOW!"
Jason sighed; he hoped he wouldn't be responsible for waking Becca up for work. But then again, that wouldn't be at three o' clock in the morning.
A smirk crossed his face as he got an idea. He sat down on the edge of her bed, and pressed his lips to hers.
Becca smiled and gave into the kiss, pulling him down to her.
"HA!" Jason said, pulling away. "Now Becca, love, not that I wouldn't love to continue with that, but we've gotta get to Mom's A.S.A.P. or we're dead."
Becca laughed and kissed her fiancé softly on the cheek as she crossed over to her dresser, but Jason stopped her.
"Now now now. Rebecca Lucy Hampton! Don't tell me you've never had waffles at three o' clock in the morning before!"
Becca frowned with mock hurt as she slapped him on the arm before turning back to the dresser, only to have Jason pull her back again.
"JAY!" she moaned.
"BECCA!" Jason moaned in reply. "You're supposed to go in your pajamas. Otherwise it's not 3 o' clock in the morning waffles."
Becca raised her eyebrows and turned to the bathroom.
"Well then, I'm sure your mother wouldn't mind if I brushed my hair before we ate breakfast."
Jason laughed, and followed Rebecca to the bathroom and waited as she brushed her hair.
----
"MOM! DAD! ERIC! ALY! SHIRLEY! LUKE!" Becca cried as she ran over to the side of the table where her mother was sitting next to Lucy.
"Oh my gosh! How'd you get here so quickly?"
Roxanne laughed. "Well, let's just say the Camden clan has connections with almost everyone in Glen Oak. They've got people at the hospital, people at the airlines, people in the school system, people in real estate, people in the ministry, people in the police force, people in the fire department, people in the law forces, and, well, you get the point."
Becca smiled and looked to Savannah. The topic of the large size of the Camden family had reminded her of what Savannah had told her earlier.
"Hey Becca," Savannah said. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure." Becca said. "What do you wanna talk about?"
Savannah smiled and looked down at her abdomen.
"Oh my gosh!" Becca squealed. "Are you-!"
Savannah nodded. "That's what I wanted to talk to you about. I don't know how to tell Josh."
"Just tell him, he'll be thrilled. Trust me."
"Ahem." Savannah cleared her throat while turning to her husband after catching Becca's glance.
"Josh and I have an announcement to make, I know you already got an announcement from Becca and Jason at dinner, but this sort of came up this afternoon, or, well, this evening after dinner actually."
Becca rolled her eyes as Mary, Roxanne and Chandler cast each other knowing glances.
"And?" Mary asked slyly.
"Vannah's pregnant." Josh said. "We're gonna have a baby."
Lucy squealed and grasped Kevin into a tight hug, before running over to congratulate her daughter and son-in-law.
"Oh my gosh!" she squealed. "I'm gonna be a grandma!"
The room roared with laughter and Ruthie started to pass around the waffles.
