Chapter 7

Camden Residence

"Hey goober!" Lucy yells to Sara.

"Up here!" Sara yells back.

Lucy walks up to the second floor. "Marco!"

"Polo!"

Lucy follows the sound of Sara's voice till she reaches Sam and David's room. Lucy walks in to see Sara playing 'tea party' with the kids. "Hey Kevin and I were thinking about heading out to the promenade for some dinner. We thought that you and Ethan ought to tag along."

"Didn't you two go out to lunch?" Sara asks.

"No he came home from work for lunch. Besides what's wrong with the two of us having lunch and dinner together?"

"Nothing. Um...me and Ethan can't go. I don't want to leave the girls and I'm not really up to it." Sara says.

"C'mon it'll be our treat. Nothing fancy just pizza. Mom and dad can watch the girls." Lucy pushes.

"No thanks. I appreciate the thought but you go out and have a quiet dinner with you husband." Sara says going back to the 'tea party'.

"O.K. see you later." Lucy says walking out the door.

At the promenade (after dinner)

"Hey Lucy!" Someone yells from behind Lucy and Kevin. They turn around as six women about Lucy's age come running up to Lucy and Kevin.

"Hey guys!." Lucy says. Lucy turns a little toward Kevin, "Guys this is my husband Kevin. Kevin this is Jackie Stevenson, Saru Avery, Cori Young, Liz Plourde, Cassie McFall and Jamie Covington. They all go to school with me." Says Lucy pointing to each respective person.

"So what's up?" Asks Liz.

"Not much we were just heading home." Lucy pauses, "Oh! Guess what." She says excitedly.

"What?" Says Jackie.

"Sara's in town. She brought the girls with her." Lucy says.

"So where is she? Did you ditch her for Kevin?" Jokes Saru.

"I would ditch her for my husband." Says Liz.

"Haha, no I did not ditch her she didn't want to leave the girls home. So she's at my parents house." Defend Lucy.

"Oh." Says Saru, Jackie, Jamie, Liz, Cassie and Cori.

"Hey I have and idea. Lets go get Sara and the 6...7...8 of us can go out." Says Jamie counting people on her fingers.

"Yea it will be like a girls night out." Chimes in Saru.

Lucy turns fully toward Kevin. "Is it O.K. if I go out?" She asks him.

"Of course I'll hang out at the house and have some real fun doing laundry." He says with a smile.

"You sure?" Lucy asks again.

"Positive. You can drop me at the house and pick up Sara and that way you have the car." He says to her. Kevin puts his arms around Lucy's waist and gives her a kiss. A chorus of 'ooooooooo's and gagging noises follow. Lucy and Kevin separate laughing.

"O.K. lets go get Sara." Says Cori. The group files into their respective cars and drive off to the Camden's house.

A/N: Hey did you know that a goober is a peanut? Just thought I'd enlighten your day with a bit of trivia. :) Disclaimer: I own Jackie, Saru, Jamie, Liz, Cassie, and Cori.
