A/N- Sorry it took me so long to update, I have been really busy this summer. Anyways this chapter takes place three months after the last chapter. Kevin and Lucy have finally set a date for their wedding, it is to be the second week of June. Lucy doesn't have her apartment anymore, because she didn't have the money to pay for the rent, so she is living with Kevin. Lucy and Kevin have also been fighting a lot, and Kevin thinks Lucy is hiding something from him
Disclaimer- I don't own 7th Heaven, but I do own the plot.

Chapter 12- Christmas Surprise
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Today is Christmas Eve, and Lucy and Kevin are hanging at his house with Alexis. "I am so excited! It is almost Christmas" exclaimed Alexis.
"Me too," replied Kevin. "It is getting late and you had better go to bed if you want Santa to come."
"Ok! Night daddy, night Lucy"
"Night!" They both replied. With that Alexis went upstairs to go to bed leaving Kevin and Lucy alone. " Alone at last," said Kevin. Lucy just smiled. "Are you ok, you haven't been yourself lately."
"I'm fine, just stressed out about the wedding, I guess" Lucy told him. Kevin knew she was lying and he was determined to find out why.
"You shouldn't be stressing, you have a wedding planner for that."
"But..." Kevin cut her off.
"I don't want to argue about this again. it seems like all we do is argue."
"No we don't," Lucy began to argue.
"We are getting in an argument again. What is up with you, Luce?" Kevin questioned looking her in the eyes. Kevin had a feeling that something was wrong, and he wanted to know what it was.
"Kevin, my world is falling apart."
"Then tell me what I can do to fix it."
"I don't know. I can't handle not working. I can't handle not having my own place, and my own money. I hate this Kevin, I can't go shopping or anything."
"Lucy I never said you couldn't go shopping. If you wanted to go shopping all you had to do was ask. I have enough money for you to shop. Lucy that is not what's wrong. What's really wrong? I just wanna help."
Lucy took a deep breath and closed her eyes and opened them again. " Kevin, I, I, I am gonna go to bed, night."
"Ok, then I am coming with you." He took her hand and led her to his bedroom, where they went to sleep.
-------------------------------
Next Morning,
Kevin is watching Lucy as she sleeps. When she stirs he gives her a light kiss. "I love you," He whispers to her.
"I love you, too." she replies. They start kissing and before things can go to far Alexis comes into the room.
"Daddy, Daddy Santa came." She says happily.
"Cool, why don't you go and see what you got and Lucy and I will get dressed and join you downstairs"
"Ok!" With that Alexis closes the door and runs down the stairs.
"Shall we?" asks Kevin. Lucy nods and they get dressed.
Kevin takes Lucy's hand and leads her to the couch in the livingroom, and they watch Alexis going through her presents. A few minutes later Kevin gets off of the couch and walks to the tree he bends down and grabs a small package. He hands it to Lucy. Lucy takes it and opens it while Alexis and Kevin are watching her. Lucy is stunned when she sees that it is a gorgeous diamond necklace. "I picked it out," says Alexis.
"It's gorgeous," Lucy tells them. She gives Kevin a kiss as Alexis goes back to playing with her new toys. "I have something for you too."
"Ok, where is it, I can go get it."
"It's right here."
"Where I don't see it..." he stops short wondering what it could be.
"You know how you've been wanting to know what is wrong with me,"
"Yeah, but..."
"Let me finish. I have been really sick lately, so I went to the doctor the other day and I found out some very interesting news."
"What did you find out?"
"Will you please let me finish?"
"Yes," he replies.
"I found out that I am pregnant."
"You are?" Kevin asks in disbelief.
"Yeah." Lucy says smiling.
"I need to go for a walk." Kevin tells her after a few minutes of silence.
"Are you going to come back?" Lucy asks.
But Kevin doesn't reply, he just walks out, and Lucy begins to cry. After about five minutes Alexis comes up to Lucy and asks her if she is ok. Lucy tells her she is fine and that she will be back in a minute. Lucy went and found John and told him to look after Alexis, she said that she had to go somewhere and that Kevin went for a walk. Lucy went upstairs and grabbed one of her duffel bags and threw some clothes in it, and grabbed her travel make-up case. She went down the stairs and opened the door, she went outside to her car and opened the trunk, when she closed the trunk she saw Kevin standing by the car. she looked at him, then opened her car door, she got in and just as she was about to shut the door Kevin stops her. "Why is it that every time something happens you leave?"
"Because I can at least count on them for support."
"Do you really think that they will support you if you are unwed and pregnant?" Kevin asked her.
"I really don't know, but it will be a hell of a lot more than you are giving me." Lucy spat back.
"How dare you say I'm not supporting you. I have done everything for you. I have given you money, a house to live in, food, diamonds."
"I'm not arguing about his anymore. I have to go." Lucy told him.
"You don't have to go, you want to go."
"I do. Now if you will please shut my door so I can leave." She took off her ring and the necklace that Kevin had just given her.
"These are your's," he said trying to giver her back the ring and the necklace.
"I can't take them, I have to go now."
"Luce, please don't leave. I'm sorry." Kevin said trying to get her to stay.
" No you're not, I'm sorry I'm pregnant, but don't take it out on me, you were as much a part of this as I was. I'm also sorry I didn't come to you sooner, I was afraid, afraid of you, afraid of the way you'd act, and I think I was right, you did the exact thing I thought you would do. I figured you wouldn't act this way if I told you on Christmas, but you still did."
"Ok, so maybe leaving wasn't a good idea, but Luce this is my future."
"Well, it's not your future anymore, it's mine. So don't worry about me or the baby. We'll be fine. I'll look you up when the baby is born." With that Lucy closed the door and sped away leaving Kevin looking very upset. He went inside and saw John playing with Alexis. John got up and came to Kevin.
"Is Miss. Lucy ok? She looked very upset." John asked sincerely.
"Yeah, she's fine. Can I get you to look after Alexis for a little while, I will call my mom and have her come over, but just until she gets here?"
"Yes, sir."
"Good, I did something stupid, and I just lost the one of the most important things in my life." With that Kevin went upstairs, packed a few clothes, and made a few calls. he had to get her back even if it was the last thing he did."
