Hey, I am rather stuck, so I may change this later. I'm not sure how this is going to turn out since I am writing it as I think of it. ENJOY

Two weeks later- The 3 older kids are in school Gracie is at home with Lucy. She's been working from her office there.

(SPOILER-She and Kevin hadn't planned to have more kids for sure although they did talk about It. - Let's just see what happens as I come up w/ it) LOL- 

Lucy is in her office finishing some paper work and paying some bills

Lucy: (looks at the time and it reads 11:45 am) Gracie, come here please.

Gracie: Coming mommy! (She comes into her moms' office)

Lucy: Gracie it's 11:45 now, do you want a snack?

Gracie: Yes.

Lucy: ok, what do you want?

Gracie: a sandwich Ham and Cheese and some Doritos please

Lucy: Ok let's go in the kitchen and I'll make it for you

Gracie: Ok (grabs her mothers hand and they go into the kitchen)

Lucy fixes Gracie a snack and grabs a bottle of Dasani Water and a pack of peanut butter crackers for herself.

Gracie: Thank you mommy

Lucy: your welcome Baby (smiles) Gracie mama has to make a phone call in the other room ok. If you want you can go in the playroom until I am finished ok.

Lucy dials her mom and dad's number

Ruthie answers the phone: Hello

Lucy: Hey Ruthie, its Lucy, is mom there

Ruthie: yeah hold on I'll get her

Lucy: Ok thanks (she holds on)-3 minutes later

Annie: Hey Luce, how's it going?

Lucy: Ok, I was working in the office earlier. Gracie's having a snack and Drew, Alex, and Emma are still at school.

Annie: Is everything ok with you?

Lucy: (puzzled) Yeah, I'm… fine mom. I was just wondering if you could keep Gracie.

Annie: Sure when?

Lucy: Um… I still have to talk to Kevin. So I'm not sure yet, but probably this weekend.

Annie: Ok and what about Drew and …

Lucy: They'll probably stay with a friend. Emma can stay with you if you think you can handle both of them, that is if we can't find somewhere for her to stay.

Annie: Ok honey.

Lucy: Thanks mom

Annie: No problem

Lucy: I love you

Annie: I love you too. Oh, by the way tell Kevin I said for you two to have fun.

Lucy: (her eyes get big) Um Ok Mom. Talk to you later. Bye

Lucy went back in the kitchen where Gracie was finishing up her snack.

Lucy: Hey Gracie, how do you feel about going to nanny and papa's house this weekend?

Gracie: Is Emmy coming?

Lucy: no she'll probably stay with one of her friends

Gracie: So it'll be just grandma, papa, and me.

Lucy: Yep

Gracie: Yeah! When are they coming home?

Lucy: Soon. Now eat up.

Gracie finishes eating and washes up and goes back to playing in the playroom. Lucy goes back to working on papers in the office. Two hrs had passed when Lucy heard the front door open she looked at the clock, it was after 2:00, and the kids were home from school. She heard them go upstairs. Then rushing back downstairs.

Drew: Mom, where are you?

Lucy: In the office

Drew: (He kissed his mom on the cheek) Hey mom

Lucy: How was school?

Drew: Same as usual, I have a lot of homework

Lucy: After you're finished go ahead and do your chores ok

Drew: got it mom, I'll be upstairs

Lucy: Okay, Wait where are Alex and Emily?

Drew: I think they're upstairs

Lucy: Could you get them for me I am almost finished with this.

Drew: sure: Alex, Emma mom wants you!

Lucy: Thanks Drew, but I could've done that

Drew: I couldn't resist

Lucy: Okay well now you can go upstairs and do your homework

Drew: Bye mom (he walks out and Alex and Emily are walking)

Lucy: Hi how was school

Alex: great

Emily doesn't say a word

Lucy: Emily?

Alex looks at his sister

Emily: It was good mommy (lying)

Lucy: That's good; now go do your homework. (Hugs her kids) They leave

Lucy is done with her paperwork. She straightens up the office and goes to check on Gracie. She is asleep on the couch. She picks her up, goes upstairs, and puts her in the bed. She stops by Drew and Alex's room and they are doing h/w. Then goes to Emily's room and she is coloring at her little table.

Emily: (looks up from coloring) Hi mommy

Lucy: Hey did you finish your homework?

Emily: I'm finishing it right now. It's a math color-by-number

Lucy: very pretty

Emily: thanks. (Pauses) mommy when's daddy coming home?

Lucy: soon; when your done get your brothers and wash up. Dinner will be ready in a little while.

Emily: Ok. Mommy I love you

Lucy: I love you too sweetie. See you downstairs ok

Emily: Ok

WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT? Why did Emily lie about her day at school? Find out next time…

Sorry if this sucks. I may change it later on if it needs to be changed. Any suggestions? Please read and Review
