Lucy goes downstairs to start dinner. A few minutes later Kevin comes in the door.

Kevin: Lucy I'm home

Lucy: Hey Kev How was work? (They kiss)

Kevin: Same as usual. How was your day?

Lucy: It was fine; Gracie was content all day and I got a lot of work done.

Kevin: that's good. Where are the kids?

Lucy: upstairs, supposed to be doing homework, and as far as I know they are. But you know how fast that can change. Gracie's asleep.

Kevin: Oh ok. That might explain why she didn't come running. (Laughs)

Lucy: uh yeah. Dinner will be ready in a little bit

Kevin: Ok I'll go change and then I'll help you cook

Lucy: awe thanks (kiss) Hurry back

Kevin: I will (he leaves to go change)

Lucy's in the kitchen putting on the spaghetti and garlic bread. Drew, Alex and Emma come downstairs.

Kids: Hi mom

Lucy: hey did you three wash up

Alex: yes mom

Drew: need any help?

Lucy: yes that would be wonderful.

Alex: What do you want us to do?

Lucy: Set the table and fix the glasses please. Emmy do you want to help me fix the garlic bread?

Emma: Sure why not.

Drew and Alex set the table and fix glasses while Emily helps her mom.

Lucy: Thanks for helping

Alex: your welcome

Drew: Is it my night to do the dishes?

Lucy: I think so. Just be glad we have a dishwasher

Emily: Mommy can I go watch cartoons now

Lucy: Only for 10 minutes dinners almost ready

Emily: Ok (she leaves)

Lucy: Thanks again for helping you're free to go for now and I'll call you when it's done.

Kevin comes back downstairs showered and changed. He kisses Lucy

Lucy: Hey was Gracie still sleeping?

Kevin: Yeah I checked on her just now

Lucy: Ok. Well dinners almost ready.

Kevin: So what did you want to talk to me about?

Lucy: Um it can wait till after dinner when the kids are in there rooms. Besides we need to talk to Emily. She's been acting weird since she got home.

Kevin: Ok

Kevin and Lucy finish preparing dinner and Kevin gets Gracie

Lucy: Alex, Drew, Emma, Dinner's ready! (They come to the Kitchen)

Kevin: (comes downstairs holding Gracie) Did you have a good nap?

Gracie: Yes (helps her in her seat)

Lucy: Okay guys let's say the blessings (and they do)

They eat and clean up.

Gracie: mommy I'm finished

Lucy: Guys you can go (pause) Emily you stay

Emily: Mom, dad, did I do something wrong?

Lucy: No, we just want to know what happened at school today

Emily: I already told you nothing happened

Lucy: Emily?

Kevin: Please tell me what's wrong?

Emily: I just had a bad day at school that's all. Can I please go now?

Kevin: yeah go ahead.

(She goes upstairs)

Kevin: feel better now

Lucy: kind of, I still think something happened though

Kevin: Don't worry about it I'm sure the teacher would call if there were a problem. (Hint)

Lucy: (Kisses him) Ok I'm ready to talk now

Kevin: Ok, I'm all ears

Lucy: I want us to spend some time alone this weekend maybe go out somewhere.

Kevin: Ok sure (surprised and happy)

Lucy: But there's more

Kevin: how much more?

Lucy: Well…

Kevin: Lucy…

Lucy: I want another baby (silence) (pause). Say something Kevin, please

Kevin: (shocked) Ok. (Another pause) Me too

Lucy: Really? I mean I know we have 4 kids, but I want a big family like the one I grew up with.

Kevin: It doesn't matter If you want another baby let's go for it.

Lucy Oh Kevin I love you so much (they kiss). If we don't have a baby now it's ok, we can wait.

Kevin: Ok, it's up too you (they hug)
