COMING UP IN the NEXT CHAPTER
Lucy goes to the doctor, she tells Kevin, THEY TELL THE KIDS and their parents. They explain to Gracie or try to anyways. And find out when they know if it's a boy or a girl. PLUS THEY HAVE TO PICK OUT NAMES TOO.
STAY TUNED……
OK SO HERE IT GOES CHAPTER 19 finally. I do apologize for the long wait but I had some computer problems and internet problems so I couldn't do anything for like 2 weeks. But it's fixed now so here's chapter 19
Lucy puts the test back into the bag until she can think of a way to tell Kevin, She goes back downstairs.
Kevin: Hey Lucy
Lucy: Hey
Kevin: Hey are you feeling sick again?
Lucy: No really I'm fine I had to um meditate for a few minutes ALONE.
Kevin: Ok?
Lucy: well keep tomorrow open we've got a Doctors appointment
Kevin: alright, so do you think you know what's wrong
Lucy; No I already know what's wrong
Kevin: You do?
Lucy: yep, come with me upstairs
Kevin: I'm afraid now
Lucy: (gives him a dirty look) Just come on
(They go upstairs and Lucy takes him to their room and tells him to sit down then she hands him the bag)
Kevin: what's this?
Lucy: You'll see just open the bag and look inside
Kevin opens the bag and pulls out the test
Kevin: You mean...
Lucy: Yes
Kevin: You're pregnant; we're going to have a baby.
Lucy: Yes! But I am going tomorrow to get a check up.
Kevin: I am so happy. Another baby in the house
Lucy: So you're not mad?
Kevin: Mad? Lucy what would give you that Idea?
Lucy: I don't know I guess because we already have 4 kids and now another one
Kevin: The more the merrier...I love you Lucy and always will and I love our kids and however many more you /we have I will love them too
Lucy: Awe...I love you (starts to kiss Kevin, but stops and runs to the bathroom)
Kevin: Lucy, are you ok honey?
Lucy: Yeah I'm fine (lying)
Kevin: Lucy, you know I can read you like a book, because I don't think you're fine, so I am going to go get you something to settle your stomach from the kitchen, and don't argue with me either.
Lucy: Fine, I'll still be here don't worry I'm not moving
Kevin comes back up stairs with some water and saltine crackers
Lucy is asleep in the middle of the bathroom floor, so he picks her up and carries her to the bed and tucks her in. Then he goes to check on the kids.
Downstairs:
Drew is playing "Battleship" with Alex; Emily is reading a book and Gracie is coloring in one of her coloring books.
Kevin: Hey Guys
Drew: Hey dad
Alex: Dad guess what? I am finally beating Drew in our game.
Kevin: hey that's good. Drew you better watch out we might have a new champion.
Drew: No way I will always be the "Battleship" champion. For right now anyways
Kevin walks over to his youngest daughter.
Kevin: Hey "Gracie Bug" whatcha doing?
Gracie: Coloring a picture of a doggie for nana
Kevin: Will you color a picture for mommy and me?
Gracie: yes, I'll make it a pretty picture
Kevin: Cool (he walks over to Emily)
Kevin: Hey Emmy what book are you reading?
Emily: A long one (sarcastically)
Kevin: Ok. Well what's the name of it?
Emily: "Samantha: An American Girl Holiday", now can I please get back to reading it It's bad enough I have to listen to those two (referring to her brothers) play that stupid game while I am trying to read.
Kevin: Well why don't you go to your room or somewhere else to read? Surely this isn't the only room in the house you can read in Emmy.
Emily: Well maybe it's because I don't want to have to listen to mom come in out of the bathroom the entire time I'm reading because she's "sick"
THE ROOM JUST FELL SILENT.
Kevin just looked at his daughter wondering what her problem was. He knew she was fiery and fiesty like her mother and had some of her Aunt Ruthie's sarcasms, but she hadn't been like this before.
Kevin: EMILY if you don't like the noises then I suggest you go somewhere else to read and you can loose the sarcastic attitude.
Emily: Fine I have other things to do anyways (Emily marches upstairs enraged)
Kevin just shakes his head: What am I going to do with her?
Drew: I know dad
Kevin just stares at his eldest son
Kevin: Oh and what would that be?
Drew: (trying not to burst into laughter) we could sell her
Alex: Good one Drew
Kevin: Ha Ha Ha...So not funny
Alex: Of course no one would buy her because if they did they'd end up bringing her back pretty quick
Kevin: GUYS Stop that's enough. Leave your sister alone.
Drew: Come on dad we're just playing'.
Alex: Dad you have to admit it is kind of funny.
Kevin: Yeah well maybe so, but I have two words for both of you..."No Allowance"
Alex: Fine, I give
Drew: truce
(Emily is sitting at the top of the stairs listening to every word her brothers were saying, tears started running down her cheeks) She goes to her room and shuts the door quietly
Emily gets one of her backpacks out of her closet and starts putting clothes in it along with a picture of her grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, sister and brothers, and her favorite stuffed animal and a blanket
She puts her pillows under her bedspread to make it look like she is in the bed sleeping.
She changes clothes and puts on her shoes and a jacket and quietly tip-toes downstairs and slips out the back kitchen door and starts walking down the road to her nana and papa Camden's.
3 hours later
Lucy wakes up and goes downstairs where her husband and kids are
Lucy: Hey guys
Kevin: Hey baby feeling better
Lucy: A little bit (looks around) Hey where's emily?
Kevin: She was ill earlier so i sent her upstairs..She's been up there awhile and I haven't heard a peep so i figured she was asleep
Lucy: Oh ok
Kevin: you don't seem to sure
Lucy: Well..I will just go upstairs and see if she's still asleep
Lucy walks into her daughter's room. She walks over to the bed and sits on the edge
Lucy: Emily sweetie wake up. I want to talk to you
Lucy goes to pull the sheet down to wake her daughter when she discovers it's a bunch of pillows and not her 7 year old daughter.
She looks in the closet and discovered her favorite bag is gone along with some of her clothes and a blanket and her favorite toy. Then she notices the family picture gone
Lucy runs downstairs
Lucy: Kevin she's gone. She's gone
Kevin: What? What are you talking about? Who's gone? Lucy calm down I can't understand you
Lucy was crying hysterically
Lucy: Emily is not in her bed. She's not asleep. She's gone. Our 7 year old daughter packed her things and walked out of this house unnoticed. How in the heck does anyone leave this house, especially one of our children leave this house with 6 people in it without being noticed? Huh? Kevin
Kevin: Lucy, calm down ok, it's not going to help the situation if you're upset and it's not good for you to be upset either or anyone else.
Lucy: Kevin…our child is missing how can I not be upset
Kevin: Look Luce I'm scared too. I'm going to get on the phone with Detective Michaels and tell him to put out an amber alert and keep a lookout for her. I'm sure she couldn't have gone far.
Meanwhile, this is what's Happening w/ Emily
Emily was walking down the sidewalk alongside the road when her Uncle Matt and Aunt Sarah were driving down the road and saw her
Sarah: oh my gosh, Matt look at that little girl?
Matt: Where?
Sarah: Right there, she's walking all by herself.
Sarah looks at the little girl to see if she knew her because the jacket looked very familiar
Matt: What is it? You look like you're thinking about something
Sarah: the little girl she looks so familiar and so does that jacket.
Matt looked up and saw to see what Sarah was talking about. Then he saw her face
Matt: I've seen that jacket before too. there's something about her that is soo familiar.
Sarah looks at her again. By that time they had already passed her
Sarah: Matt stop the car that's EMILY.
Matt: what? Lucy's Emily? No way
He turns the car around. They stop and get out.
Sarah: Emily..Emily are you okay?
Emily: Aunt Sarah? how'd you find me?
Sarah: I saw you walking and Matt stopped the car
Emily: Hi Uncle Matt ( right then she knew she was in big touble because her Uncle Matt would rat on her for sure to her mom and dad)
Matt: Emily Danielle Kinkirk what are you doing walking down the road all by yourself? you know better than that.
Emily: Hey only my mommy and daddy are allowed to use my full name.(she glared at her uncle) And you're not my daddy.
Matt: Excuse me..Where did that come from?
Emily: Leave me alone I want Nanna. (she starts crying)
Sarah: Emmy what's wrong doll?
Emily wouldn't talk to Matt or Sarah
Sarah: Nice going "uncle Big Shot" Now she won't talk to me either.
Matt: Hey don't get mad at me I can't help it that's she's stubborn and fiery like Lucy
Sarah: who is your sister don't forget that
Matt: Come on Emily let's go
Emily just stood there and looked at her uncle like he had lost his mind
Sarah: I don't think she's talking to you
Matt: ya think? well duh Sarah
Sarah: Emily come on please get in the car. If you get in the car I will take you to grandma's
Emily: Really?
Sarah: Really
Emily smiled at her aunt
Matt: Sarah what are you doing we can't reward her from running away besides if Kevin and Lucy were to realize that she was gone they'd flip and then when they find out they we've had her almost the entire time I wouldn't be surprised if my sister blew up at us and her loving husband had us arrested for kidnapping.
Sarah: Okay you have a point, so I will call Kevin and Lucy's cell phone and leave a message and I will call their house phone as well.
Matt, Sarah, and Emily got in the car and drove to the Camdens
Matt: Mom...It's me and Sarah
Sarah: and emily too
Annie: hey guys...It's soo great to see you...
Matt: It's great to see you too mom
Annie: Hey Emmy
Emily: Hey Nana, i missed you...Can I stay with you Please??
Annie: If your mommy and daddy says it's okay..By the way where is Kevin and Lucy and the rest of the clan??
Emily: Umm...There not here
Sarah: At home
Matt: You're soo Busted little missy
Sarah: Matt...(elbow's him)
Matt: What...She's the one that ran away and her mom and dad are probably just now fiuring out she's gone
Annie:What EMILY? You ran away? Why? Sweetheart you know better than to go anywhere without telling someone first. What if someone picked you up...Besides Uncle Matt and Aunt Sarah??
Emily:Are you going to tell my mom and dad?
Back at the Kinkirks
Kevin: Ok I've called Ruthie, Simon, and Sam, and David and they haven't seen or gotten a call from Emmy so I know they didn't pick her up. And the Police Dept hasn't gotten any reports but are keeping a lookout for her.
Lucy: Kevin I am soo scared that something's happened to her..
Kevin:Luce trust me I am sure she's fine...There's one place we didn't check
Lucy: Where?
Kevin:Your Parent's
Kevin picks up the phone and Call's Annie and Eric to see if they had seen Emily
Annie: Hello..Camden Residence
Kevin: Hey Annie um I have an odd question?
Annie: Okay shoot.
Kevin starts to tell her and Lucy gets the phone from him
Lucy: Mom
Annie: Lucy are you ok?
Lucy: No mom I'm not okay. Have you seen Emily?
Annie: yes
Lucy: Is she at the house?
Annie: yes
Lucy: (she let out a sigh of relief) Oh thank God she's ok. Um...we'll be there in a few minutes
Annie:Um Luce, I know Emily is in a whole bunch of trouble right now but can u hold off on picking her up. I just want to spend some time with her ..Maybe I can get her to talk to me and tell me what's on her mindand why she left.
Lucy:Okay I guess um...Maybe it's what she needs I'll see ya later I am just glad ro know she's okay. I love you mom bye
Kevin: Lucy what's wrong Emily's okay
Lucy: Kev, you should know of all people. we didn't even know where our daughter was. You had no idea she'd even left I just feel like such a bad mom because I didn't even know my child was gone.
Kevin: I feel aweful too. You were sleeping and instead of just telling the boys to quiet down I told her to go read somewhere else. I was supposed to be watching them. It's not your faught you can't help it if you're "sick"
Lucy: yeah well we're both guilty..I could be really mad at you right now but It's not completely your faught besides I'm too shook up to be mad with you..
Kevin: I love you
Lucy: l love you too
