A/N: Well this is it. This is my last and final chapter of this story. It has taken probably almost 2.5 years to finish it but I've been through some hard times like losing one of my beta's Betsy, losing interest in this story and then getting some great new ideas and putting them to use. I know I have lost a lot of readers because it took me forever to finish this story but I think you'll be proud of what I did. It's pretty much a normal Kevin/Lucy story but I added my own twists and turns and I think it turned out pretty well and I hope all of you agree. I just wanted to let you know that I had the last chapter pretty much written and I had to add a few things in between to make it understandable for the rest of the chapter.

A/N: Please let me know what you think of the ending of this story. This will determine if I should write a sequel to it or if I should just wait and finish the rest of my stories before I tackle something new. I do know that if I was going to write a sequel that I would definitely get a lot more chapters written before I started to post it so I could finally catch up on everything. Look for a few new chapters to pop up on my other stories. I have almost 24 days before I leave for Europe so I'm sure I can do something.

A/N: Read the disclaimer on the front chapter and u will understand why I'm not rich and why The WB is!


"Lucy? Are you almost finished? Your mom is anxious to get going" Kevin yelled from the bottom of the stairs.

Lucy looked at herself one more time in the mirror and rubbed the sides of her temples. Another headache was coming on and it was going to be a bad one from what she could tell.

"I'm just getting so aspirin" she yelled back opening the cabinet mirrors and moved other various medical products looking for the Advil container. When she found it she popped open the lid and shook out three of the brown tablets and put them in her mouth and swallowed. Closing the cabinets she took one last look in the mirror before she headed downstairs where her husband and mom were waiting.

Kevin dropped Annie off at the church and then drove Lucy and him to furniture store and picked out the rest of the stuff that they would need. After signing the credit card slip they ventured back out and was about to stop off at Target when Kevin's cell phone rang.

"Kevin Kinkirk" he answered the phone. "Uh huh. Okay. Yeah sure no problem." He spoke into the phone and then glanced over at Lucy who was staring out of the car window. "Hey Luce?"

"Hmmm" was the reply that Kevin got. "That was Captain Michaels. They need me to come in and work some overtime. So we can either shop another day or you can just drop me off at the police station and I'll hitch a ride from one of the guys when I'm done"

Lucy nodded her head and stared out the window as Kevin backed the car out of the parking lot and headed towards Glenoak's police department. It was hard to concentrate since her mom told her she was pregnant. Lucy didn't believe it but she knew the only way to prove her mom wrong was to find out. Lucy hadn't even paid attention until the car jerked a little bit and Kevin pulled into one of the parking spots near the entrance of the police department and parked the car letting it run.

"I'll see you later Lucy" Kevin told as he opened the driver's side door and grabbed the large black duffel bag from the back of the seat and headed off towards the front door. Lucy truculently slid over to the driver's seat and shifted the car into drive and sped off towards the nearest drugstore that she could find.

Twenty minutes later she had picked up three tests and headed back to their new house and parked her car in the driveway. The furniture company was supposed to be delivering the furniture sometime around 5 and she wanted to have everything done before they got there. She walked around the car and headed towards the backyard and sat down in the swinging chair looking at the large backyard that they had and stayed there until she heard the sound of a large truck pulling up to their house. She looked at her watch and was astonished to see that she had spent almost 2 hours on the swinging chair lost in her own private thoughts.

She hopped out of the chair and walked back towards the front of the house and met the movers and gave them instructions on where to put the rest of the furniture in their house. It took the movers almost an hour to finish furnishing the new house. Since the painters had finished up the night before and the carpenters also had finished they were able to move into their new house that nigh or if they wanted to that next day.

Lucy walked over to her childhood home and walked towards the backyard where she had heard laughter and squeals earlier in the day. She pushed open the white gate and let it swing closed while she watched her dad and Ruthie being chased by Sam and David as Happy ran around them in circles. Lucy's mom was sitting on the picnic table reading some book.

Lucy just smiled at the scene and backed up and headed back towards the white gate and headed back over to her and Kevin's home. She arrived and walked into the back door and immediately started to get to work. She pulled out all of the bed sheets and made the beds in the spare rooms and then she tackled the master bedroom. They had picked a light green for the wall colors with white blinds for right now. Annie had made a gorgeous quilt filled with scraps of Lucy's old clothes that never really made it to Ruthie to wear; she also attached parts of her Grandmother Jenny's wedding gown to the outside to outline the other scraps of clothing that were on the memory quilt Annie had called it.

About 20 minutes later Lucy had pretty much had gotten the upstairs together and was ready to tackle the bottom floor when she remembered that she had left the brown bag in her purse that was downstairs. She slowly walked down the stairs, grabbed her purse off of the handrail and ran back up the stairs and into the master bedroom and slammed the door shut. It was odd she would shut the door when no one else was home but she felt like if she didn't Kevin would come walking through the bathroom door any moment.

Lucy's hand shook violently as she took the boxes from the brown paper bag. Standing in front of the bathroom mirror she looked at her complexion. Her face was white as a ghost and she had bags under her eyes like she hadn't slept for days.

She was nervous and scared because the box that she held in her hand was going to tell her something and she wasn't sure how she was even going to take it.

Reading the directions out loud to herself before she opened it made her feel twice as worse as she had felt before.

Taking a deep breath she grabbed the little stick out of the box and prayed for whatever the outcome was she wouldn't be upset.


As Mary walked quickly towards the steps of the Buffalo Fire Department you could hear the click clack of her heels as walked up the steps.

Opening the front door she walked in and looked around to see if she saw anyone she had trained with.

"Camden? Is that you?" she heard a voice yell out as she turned around with a big grin on her face.

"Little J? Is that you?" she asked laughing, running towards the 6'4 man and gave him a big hug.

"I haven't seen you since we were in training together" she cried with some more laughter as he picked her up off the ground.

"Where have you been?" he asked setting back down and leading her over towards a couple of empty benches.

"Busy. My little sister just got married a couple of weeks ago, so I had to go back home for a few weeks and I've been working non-stop as well" she replied.

"Where are you working now?"

"Northwest Airlines" she told him.

"Flight attendant?"

Mary shook her head "Yep and I love it!" she exclaimed.

Little J gave her a big smile "I'm glad you finally found something that you loved Mare-Mar" he told her using an old nickname the guys from the station had given her.

"Here to see Kinkirk?" he said suddenly.

Mary's eyes popped open. "What—Why do you think I'm here to see Kinkirk" she stuttered.

Little J gave a short laugh. "We all knew that the two of you had the hots for each other"

Mary gulped and started to panic. "Err…" she started to say before a familiar voice yelled from the office.

"Hey Big J! Whose hot chick are you trying to steal away this time?"

Little J got up and Mary could see Ben walking closer. The closer he got the more she wanted to get off the bench and run away.

"Hey my name—" Ben started to say with his hand sticking out so he could shake Mary's hand.

"Mary? Uhh…what are you doing here?" Ben asked looking confused as he pulled his hand back and stuck it in the back pocket of his jean.

Mary plastered on a fake smile. "I came here to see you of course! I wanted to ask you about Lucy and Kevin"

Little J gave Mary a weird look before turning back to Ben. "How did she know you had a brother?"

Ben gave Little J a short smile. "Well, we" he pointed to himself and Mary. "Use to live across the street from each other. My brother and her sister have been in love with each other since they were old enough to speak and they just got married a couple of weeks ago"

Little J broke out into a big grin. "Well I'll be damned! If you two didn't get together at least your siblings had enough common sense" he replied walking away from a bewildered Mary and Ben.

Ben scratched his head. "What was that all about?"

Mary shrugged her shoulders. "How should I know? Look Ben, we need to talk"

"Uh…ok?"


Lucy was sitting on top of the toilet seat tapping her foot impatiently and checking her watch every 5 seconds

It was one thing to wait in line…but it was another thing to wait for something that could be life altering.

The bathroom was eerie when it was quiet and not bustling with noise from the normal taking showers or hearing the curling iron clank against the counter in the morning.

Rubbing her hands on her jeans to keep her from looking at her watch weren't really helping. Looking at her left wrist she gasped. Her five minutes were up and now she had to see what the results were.

She stood up and walked slowly towards the sink. She closed her eyes trying to calm her heart that was beating faster than it ever had. This was the moment of truth…this was the moment that she found out what her destiny was.

She couldn't do it. She couldn't look at it. She didn't want to know. She was too scared…she had so many questions running through her head. What happens if it's wrong? Am I ready to be a mom? How am I going to feel if I'm not?

Another thought crossed her mind. What about Kevin? Was he ready to be a dad? How was he going to handle the news that he might? Does he even want kids now?

Oh god, she had forgotten Kevin. She knew he was suspicious of her for the past few days. She really hadn't been acting herself and she was taking it out on him.

She couldn't take it anymore. She had to find out the results. She opened her eyes quickly and stared at the stick. There it was right in front of her eyes. The answers to her questions. Taking the test for the third time had given her the answer that she had gotten from the last two.

She threw the other two sticks into the garbage and grabbed the other stick out of the sink and opened the bathroom door. She had to wait for Kevin to come home from work and tell him the truth. The real truth of why she was being such a bitch to him and how sorry she was.

She walked out of the master bedroom, sat down on their bed and laid down on Kevin's side of the bed and started to sob and pulled the memory quilt up to her chin and before she knew it she had fallen into an exhausted sleep.


Ben and Mary walked out of the firehouse towards a public bench and they both sat down. Ben stared at Mary for a few moments before her eyes left him and glanced down the street.

"So…we need to talk" Ben spoke cracking his knuckles and staring down at his shoes.

"Yeah. I guess so" Mary replied feeling nervous to what she was about to tell one of her childhood friends.

"Look Mary" Ben started to say.

"Look Ben" Mary also spoke at the same time. They both smiled and laughed.

"Go ahead" Ben told Mary. Mary bit her lip and looked down at her hands once more before she brought her head up to look at Ben with tears in her eyes.

"This is the hardest thing that I have to say to you Ben. But it's for the best." Mary paused and then continued to speak. "You are one of my best friends and you will always be. I'm getting married in a few months Ben and I want you there at my wedding as my friend but I know you and I both know that's the last thing that we want but we can't do this. We both have people who we love in our lives and it would devastate them. That's why I'm telling you this. I can't see you anymore Ben Kinkirk." Mary told him. Tears started to pour out of her eyes and got up off from the bench and walked off in the opposite direction leaving Ben feeling like his heart had been stabbed into a tiny thousand pieces. What felt like an eternity, Ben finally got up from that park bench and proceeded back towards the firehouse to finish up his shift and go back to fiancé at their apartment before they started to pack for a quick trip back to Glenoak to help Kevin and Lucy finish the odds and ends they had with their new house.


Kevin heaved a sigh of relief as he leaned back into his chair and pushed the pile of paperwork aside…finally all of the paperwork was done for all 5 cases he had been working on and he was free to go home.

Since things hadn't been quite right between him and Lucy for the past few days so before he got off of his shift he decided to stopped off at the nearest flower shop where he could picked up at least a half dozen of Lucy's favorite flowers which were white and purple lilies and then since he was working another shift early in the morning that next day he was able to take his squad car home. So as he was on the way home he got the idea to grab a pizza as well.

After 20 minutes or so Kevin finally opened the back door and stepped in with a Hawaiian Pizza, Lucy's favorite movie and flowers in his left hand and the house keys in his right and shut the door with his foot.

Things hadn't been that great around their garage apartment and he was willing to try and fix it. He set the pizza, the movie and the flowers on top of the counter and grabbed a couple of plates and two glasses for the bottle of wine he had picked up on his way home after getting the flowers, pizza and the movie and proceeded to set the table.

He whipped around and grabbed two candle sticks and a box of matches from the odds 'n' ends drawer and lit them. There…now everything was perfect. All he had to do was find Lucy.

Taking his shoes off he walked up the backstairs and into the hallway of the second floor and started to see if Lucy was up in the office doing some sort of research for one of her classes.

There were no lights on upstairs so he was starting to get worried. He walked into the office and grabbed the cordless phone and started to dial the Camden's phone number when he noticed that the bathroom light was on and put the phone back into its cradle.

He walked softly over towards the bathroom in case Lucy was in there and he didn't want to scare her. So he knocked lightly on the door and waited for an answer. When he didn't get one he opened the door and to his dismay was disappointed she wasn't in there.

He was ready to shut the door when he took a double look of what was in the sink next to a crumpled up brown bag.

Starting to feel tense he rubbed the back of his neck and picked the box up and shook it just to make certain that its contents were empty and sure enough… it was.

He opened the door that headed into their bedroom quietly to see if Lucy was in there and sure enough he found her sound asleep sprawled over both sides of the bed with the quilt hanging over the bed. He walked over and picked quilt up and opened it up so he could cover Lucy when something fell to the floor. He didn't want to turn the light on so he crouched down and felt around the floor until he found what had fallen.

He stood up and kissed Lucy softly on top of her head and opened the door and exited into the hallway where he could examine what had fallen off of the bed.

He just wasn't expecting to be as shocked as he was when he turned the light on. He turned around and looked at the closed door and then back at the pregnancy test.

He just shook his head and walked towards the stairs that lead into the family room where he would sit and wait for Lucy to wake up and explain to what he was holding in his hand.

Lucy woke up startled. Where was she? How did she get here? She looked around the darkened bedroom and noticed that quilt was still on her even though she remember getting extremely hot and throwing it off to the side of the bed. She frowned. She couldn't remember when she decided that she was cold again when it hit her.

The pregnancy test!

She started to search frantically all over the bed for the small white stick that was in her hand the last time she remembered.

Where was it? Did it fall? She thought to herself throwing the blanket off of her and dropping onto her knees and started to look underneath the bed.

She stopped and smacked herself on the head. The fuzziness was starting to wear off and she could actually start to think clearer. The blanket, the light turned off in the bathroom. It could only have meant one thing. That Kevin must be home.

She started to bite her thumb nervously as she opened the door and started walking towards the stairs. This was so difficult for her to do. She hadn't told him what she suspected and was sort of scared to see what his reaction was going to be.

Taking each step as slowly as she could, she had a million reasons of why she hadn't talked to him, yet every time three excuses popped into her head three more would override them. She got to the end of the stairs and almost screamed with fright.

"Oh geeze Kevin you scared me" she told him putting a hand to her chest to try and stop her heart from pounding out of her chest. She hid her hands behind her back and walked closer towards her husband to see if she could get any kind of reading. Kevin just shrugged his shoulders as his answer and went back to watching some sort of game on TV.

"Did you just get home?" she asked him, inching closer to him.

Kevin shook his head no.

"So…." Lucy's voice trailed as Kevin flipped off the TV and gave her a cold stare.

"So…do you want to tell me something?" He asked her getting out of the chair and crossing over to the couch and sat at the far end away from Lucy.

Lucy flashed him a half smile and just sat down on the other end of the couch. "Well, I got the upstairs rooms put together and when your mom, Ben and Eryn come over next week they can help us move most of the stuff out of the garage apartment and we should be moved in"

Kevin just stared there looking at her. "Anything else?"

Lucy shook her head. "No, why should there be anything else?" she asked playing dumb hoping that he hadn't found the stick and it was still underneath the bed somewhere.

"Fine, then I guess it's my turn" Kevin replied coldly as he threw the white stick onto the coffee table. "What's this? Since when did we keep secrets from each other? We have always told each other everything and we promised we'd never keep secrets from each other and well this is kind of a big secret to keep"

Lucy froze. Everything that she was going to tell him flew out of her head. She felt her blood slowly drifting away from her heart.

"Well?"

"It's…I…Today" was all she could stammer out before she started to cry. "I didn't know I swear. When I talked to my mom this morning before we left to finish shopping I told her how I was feeling and how I couldn't wait until…until" Lucy sobbed tears flowing harder and she hiccupped before continuing on. "Until we moved into the house and she looked at me and told me what she thought and I almost laughed at her! Until I started to think harder about everything and how it pretty much fit with why I haven't been eating well, my clothes don't fit as loose as they did, why I don't want to eat in the mornings. So I bought three of them to see if maybe she was wrong and all three of them said the same thing." She cried a little bit harder and then wiped the snot that was running out of her nose on the back of her jacket she had put on before she came downstairs to talk to Kevin.

Kevin watched as the tears poured out of his wife's eyes and knew he had pushed to hard. He hadn't meant to but he had been filled with so much anger he didn't know how to express it. His eyes soften while he watched Lucy sob.

"Luce"

"What?" she replied wiping her eyes and nose.

"Come here" he told her patting the cushion next to him. Lucy obeyed and crawled over to the empty cushion and laid head onto his chest as he wrapped his arm around her.

"I'm sorry" he told her simply.

"For what?" she sniffed, wiping the snot onto her shirt.

"Yelling at you like that…I shouldn't have done it but I was partly angry and upset. We never kept secrets from each other our entire life and I couldn't figure out why you would try and keep this one from me"

"Are you mad at me?" Lucy asked.

Kevin's heart melted. "How could I be mad at you?" he asked her softly.

"That I lied to you"

"How did you lie to me?"

"I didn't tell you anything. I'm sorry I know I should of but I was so scared and—" she started to say before crying again.

Kevin cupped Lucy's chin and tilted it up towards him. "Why were you scared?"

"I don't' know" Lucy hiccupped. "I guess I was scared to talk to you"

Kevin wrinkled up his nose. "Talk to me? Why were you scared to talk to me? I've known you your whole life Lucy Kinkirk and not once when you were hurt, upset or angry were you ever scared to talk to me. Why now?"

Lucy sighed. "I don't know Kevin I just was. Everything has been so weird these past few weeks and we have been at each others throats for different reasons. The house, the shopping, the moving….it well I just didn't know how to talk to you about it"

Kevin nodded in agreement. "I understand. There have been things that I wanted to say to you but I couldn't because we were always arguing about something or we were having such a good time I didn't want to ruin the moment"

Lucy looked up at him "You…you did?"

"Yeah"

They sat in each others arms cuddling for a few minutes not speaking a word to each other before Lucy reached over to the coffee table and picked up the test.

"So"

"So…" Kevin repeated after her. "How accurate are these things?"

Lucy shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know pretty accurate? Why?"

Kevin gave her kiss on the forehead. "Well if they are pretty accurate it says were going to have a baby" he replied.

Lucy gave him a warm smile and snuggled closer to him. "We're going to have a baby" she whispered back.

THE END!
