Joys of Motherhood
Chapter 22
Rating-PG
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from 7th Heaven.
Summary: A fanfic about Lucy, Kevin, and their kids. Takes place 7 years from now.
A/N: Please read and review!
Dedication: This story is dedicated to several people:
Miss. B. (My history and favorite teacher.), who always makes me smile and has walked me to the nurse's office countless times when I'm dizzy. (Actually it's four times.)
Amber, who has been subjected to all of my ideas and stories.
My Mom, who has given me so much insight into what Motherhood is all about.
Mrs. R (My Language Arts teacher), who will not let me say I can't do something and has spent several hours trying to teach me grammar much to my chagrin.
Mrs. C (My MTA and Study Hall teacher), who has supported me and my family's fight for three years now.

LucyKevinfan- Thanks for the review!
Krazypriategurl- Thanks for the review! I love ER and 7th Heaven!
Gracey- Thanks for the review! I can't believe you read my entire story at one time. That's 22 chapters! I've done that before too. But that was only 7 chapters long. Thanks for what you said about my mom. I'm going to leave it at Katherine but thanks for correcting me. I'm glad you like Grace. I wish I had a big family. There's only me and my brother Jack (11). And now I've talked too much too. My parents tell me I talk too much too.
Soccerfan- Thanks for the review!

Kevin's Point of View
"Name?"
"Kevin Kinkirk." She gives me a look.
"Her name?" Of course. She wants Luce's name.
"Lucy Kinkirk. We're scheduled to have a c-section at 9:00." She nods her head and types all of this in her computer.
"Jennifer! Take Miss. Kinkirk to room 240. Help her get ready for her c-section."
"MRS. Kinkirk." Lucy corrects the nurse but she's not listening. The other nurse, whom I assume is Jennifer, comes over to us and helps Lucy into a wheel chair. I follow them down the hallway and into Lucy's room. Jennifer helps her change into a gown and get situated on the bed. Before we know it Dr. Thompson comes in and talks us through the procedure. Lucy is wheeled down the hallway to the operating room and I'm told to put on the scrubs they handed me. The nurse tells me to wait there and they'll come back and get me.
When I finally get to go in they have a sheet up so I can't see over to what they are doing, not that I'd want to look, and Lucy is counting down backwards.
Lucy's Point of View
"Okay Lucy count backwards from ten out loud for me." I stare at the bright light over head and start counting.
"Ten." There is a clattering of trays and instruments.
"Nine." The sheet is pulled up so I can't see my belly.
"Eight." A tingling sensation has now started. It's kind of like when your arm falls asleep.
"Seven." The door behinds me and Kevin comes over and takes a seat next to me.
"Six." Now every thing from my waist down is numb.
"Five." I'm staring at Kevin's face now. God he's hot. Quit thinking like that Lucy. That's why you're here.
"Four." Oh my god! I'm going to be a mom to eleven kids! I'll be responsible for eleven little lives. I'll be responsible for Jenny, Adam, Hannah, Joshua, Rebekah, Rachel, Caleb, Aaron, Nathan, Noah, and Grace.
"Three." Kevin whispers in my ear, "I love you." And all my fears disappear. We're going to do this together.
"Two." And before I know it I'll be a grandma. Okay way too early to be thinking like that.
"One." I can feel nothing now but I know that everything is going to be okay the minute I get to hold my three babies.
"There's a body." Dr. Thompson announces. "And it's out. 9:47:32 It's a boy." The screaming starts. And they lift my little boy up and hold him over the sheet so we can see him.
"Nathan Luke." Kevin and I say at the same time. God he's beautiful. They whisk him away to clean him off and I miss him already.
"Another one out. 9:53:46 It's another boy." Noah. Just like his brother they hold him up so we can see him.
"Noah Jacob." Kevin informs them. And now I'm crying. Stupid hormones.
"And the last one's out. 9:59:12 It's a girl." They hold her up. Grace. She's so tiny. I can tell she's going to be smaller than her brothers.
"Grace Katherine." Kevin tells them and then he leaves me to be sewed up while he'll takes a look at the babies.
"Noah is eighteen and half inches long. Seven pounds. Eight ounces." The nurse tells us.
"Nathan is nineteen inches long. Seven pounds. Nine ounces."
"Grace is seventeen inches long. Six pounds. Four ounces."
My babies are here.
Kevin's Point of View
"Okay are you guys ready to see your new brothers and sister?" They all nodded their heads yes and I open the door. They file in quietly but the minute they see their mother they get really excited. Before I know it I have kids climbing on the bed trying to get a closer look.
"Guys this is Noah." Lucy says raising the bundle in her right arm up a bit. "And this is Nathan." She says raising the bundle in her left arm up.
I scoop Grace up out of the bed and say, "And this is Grace."
"Can I hold them?" Jenny asks.
"Okay but go sit in that rocking chair." She does as she's told and I place Grace in her arms. "Now make sure you support her head."
"Daddy I've done this a million times." And she's right. She has. I stop telling her what to do and look at her. Before I know it she and Grace will want to date. And get married. And then have there own kids. Nope no way. I'm locking them in the house till they're forty. Same goes for Rachel, Hannah, and Rebekah.
Lucy's Point of View
"Knock, Knock." Mom says.
"Come on in Mom." My mom comes in the room followed by Kevin's mom and the rest of our families. They all start cooing over Noah, Nathan, and Grace. Kevin takes Grace back from his mother and comes up to where I'm sitting and they all start to sing.
"Who
can turn the world on with her smile? Love is all around, no need to waste it How will you make it
on your own? Love is all around, no need to
waste it
Who can take a nothing day,
and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and
you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you
show it
You can
have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all
This world is awfully big, girl this time you're all
alone
But it's time you started living
It's time you let
someone else do some giving
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're
gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all"
And you know what? We will. We'll make it with eleven. Eleven wonderful, perfect kids. I wouldn't give this up for anything. Because nothing can't bring the happiness that the joys of motherhood does.
Author's Note: I hope you guys enjoyed this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Sadly this is the end of it. I have several reasons for doing so. I only have 12 weeks of school left. Finals will be here before I know it. My grade in history has dropped two points. Everything with my mom. But I hoped you liked it. I'm thinking of doing a sequel where the triplets will ten and Jenny is eighteen. But anyways, I hope you guys liked this story. Thanks you so much for all of the encouragement and constructive criticism I have received.
Thanks,
