AUTHORS NOTE: Sorry it has taken me so long to update the story. I have been extremely busy with school. And at home
Kevin and Lucy take a nap. A few hours later Lucy wakes up and goes downstairs to start dinner. Kevin wakes up shortly after to the aroma of food cooking down stairs in the kitchen.
Kevin: (he goes up behind Lucy and wraps his arms around her waste) Hello darling.
Lucy: Hey Kevin
Kevin: Did you have a nice nap?
Lucy; yes the best one I have had in a long time
Kevin: you're so right
Lucy: are you hungry?
Kevin: yes and it smells delicious by the way
Lucy: thanks
Lucy finishes cooking dinner. Then they eat. After eating and doing the dishes together they go upstairs and go to bed.
SUNDAY MORNING- the next day they go to church, meet up with their kids there, and thank their friends parents for allowing them to stay over for the weekend. They get Gracie from the nursery and then head to Lucy's parents house for dinner.
At the Camden home-
Annie: Hey kids, did ya'll have a good weekend?
Emily, Alex, and Drew: yes, it was great, fun, and awesome
Annie: that's good.
Gracie: Mama, guess what nana and I did?
Lucy: what did you do?
Gracie: we went to the mall and then we made cookies
Lucy: Did you stay up all night cause of the sugar?
Gracie: No, I had three cookies, but that was after dinner
Lucy: (smiles) Okay well go play with your brothers and sister ok.
Gracie: Okay mama
Annie: so did you and Kevin enjoy having the house all to your selves?
Lucy: Oh yes, very much
Annie: Did you get a lot done around the house?
Lucy: Um…yeah we cleaned up everything, including the bedroom(s) and garage
Annie: wow, you were very busy
Lucy: yeah anyways mom thanks for keeping Gracie I know she can be a real handful sometimes
Annie: No problem (They hug)
Lucy: need any help with dinner
Annie: no, but thanks for asking.
Lucy: ok, I'll be out back with Kevin and the kids, bye
OUTSIDE IN THE BACK YARD
Lucy goes and sits next to Kevin and they hold hands.
They watch the boys play catch and Emily and Gracie jump on the trampoline. Then they look at each other and smile.
Girls are on the trampoline
Emily: Hey Gracie, lets see who can jump the highest
Gracie: I want to play "ring around the rosy"
Emily: well I'm older; I'm the boss so you have to do what I say.
Gracie: No I don't! Emily: yes you do! Gracie: well I am not going to do it (she sticks her tongue out at her sister) Emily: Yes you are. Gracie starts screaming MOMMY!
Lucy and Kevin run over to the trampoline.
Lucy: girls what is going on here?
Kevin gets Gracie down from the trampoline
Lucy grabs Emily and puts her down on the ground
Gracie and Emily start at it again.
Lucy: ENOUGH, one at a time
Kevin: Emily what happened?
Emily: I wanted to jump high and Gracie wanted to play a dumb baby game
Gracie: Ring around the Rosie is not a baby game!
Emily: Is too Elizabeth Grace "baby, baby, stick your head in gravy."
Kevin: Emily Danielle and Elizabeth Grace Kinkirk!
Lucy: Girls I mean it, stop. Grace it wasn't your turn to tell what happened. Emily you done?
Emily: I guess so
Kevin: Ok Gracie tell your side
Gracie: Emily was being all bossy and said let's have a jumping contest and I didn't want to I wanted to play "ring around the Rosie". Then she said she was the boss cause she was the oldest, so I have to do what she says. That's what happened.
Emily: you forgot to say you stuck your tongue out at me too Elizabeth. (She crosses her arms)
Lucy: is that true Gracie?
Gracie: yes mama
Lucy: Well…. (She's cut off by Annie)
Annie: Lucy, Kevin, Kids, and Dinner
Lucy: we'll talk about this at home. Until then Emily you sit in between your brothers, you got it and I don't want lip from either one of you got it.
Gracie and Emily: yes ma'am
Lucy: good, now go inside and try to behave at the dinner table
Emily walks ahead of her parents and goes inside.
Drew and Alex walk over to their parents
Drew: (whispering) mom, dad what's going on?
Lucy: long story
Alex: sounded like "WW III -Emily vs. Gracie"
Kevin: pretty much
Gracie: hey what's that?
Kevin: Drew take your sister in the house and get her washed up
Drew: yes sir, Come on Gracie I'll give you a "Piggy back" ride
Gracie: yes! (She giggles) Piggy
Alex: I will go with them. Um...bye
Kevin and Lucy are behind their kids
Lucy: Kevin what was I thinking this weekend, I am out of my mind
Kevin: Lucy what are you talking about?
Lucy: nothing, forget it I was talking to myself
Kevin: Ok, if you say so.
Lucy: Let's just get through dinner without any incidents
They walk inside and shut the door behind them
At the dinner table the kids are sitting as they were told, of course Emily and Gracie just couldn't help themselves when it came to making faces at one another.
Lucy's P.O.V
Lucy: why do they do this? I have two boys and they don't act like that, well at least not anymore. They fight worse sometimes. However, my Emily is bossy and getting too old to play with Gracie. Gracie is still in her "getting into everything stage". I wish that my daughter's would get along with each other. Oh, well as long as they don't fight too much, I'll be ok.
Kevin looks over at Lucy and gets her attention and she comes back down to earth.
Kevin: Lucy are you ok?
Lucy: Yeah, fine; and yes I'm sure
Kevin: ok
SORRY TO STOP IT RIGHT HERE. I'm going to add on to it some more. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. PLEASE R&R. Peace Out- R.E.P
