The Greatest Gift of All
Chapter 1
"Hey, Luce! Only one day until you get married, and I get my own room," Ruthie Camden reminded her older sister as she walked into the kitchen for breakfast on the morning of December 23rd.
"Normally kids your age are counting down the days till Christmas," Mary Camden pointed out to her youngest sister.
"My giving her a bedroom all to herself IS my Christmas gift to her," Lucy Camden explained with a smile.
"Well, it's not going to be your own bedroom until after Christmas, and I leave again," Mary reminded Ruthie.
"Yeah, Yeah. I suppose you can sleep in MY room for a few days," Ruthie rolled her eyes and grabbed the syrup to pour on her pancakes.
Lucy and Mary watched their little sister. She had always wanted her own room. She had even gone as far as trying to kick Robbie out so that she could get her own room.
"Good morning, Ladies!" Robbie Palmer walked into the Camden kitchen.
"Morning, Robbie," Annie greeted the "adopted" member of the family. "Sit down, have some pancakes," She sat down a plate in front of Robbie.
"Thanks, Mrs. C."
"Good date last night," Mary asked him.
"It was ok."
"Just ok?"
"It's hard to date someone who's a police officer. Roxanne kept giving out tickets to everyone."
The girls giggled. "Kevin doesn't do that on our dates," Lucy told him.
"Yeah, well, I think Roxanne takes her job a little too seriously."
"Can cops really give out tickets when they're not on duty?" Annie asked.
"She WAS on duty." He took a bite before continuing. "She got called to watch the promenade last night while we were on our date."
"You see, that's the difference between me and you, Robbie," Lucy said. "I would have told Kevin that if he answered his page; I'd shove his pager up his. . ."
"Lucy!" Annie scolded as the back door opened. Kevin Kinkirk, Lucy's soon- to-be husband ran into the kitchen dressed in his police uniform. "Morning, Kevin. I thought you didn't have to work today."
"I didn't, but I got called in until 2:00 this afternoon." He turned to Lucy. "Don't worry, Sweetie. I'll be done in plenty of time before rehearsal this evening."
Robbie leaned over to Lucy and whispered, "Aren't you going to shove the pager up his. . ."
"Shut up, Robbie," Lucy whispered back. Mary and Ruthie giggled.
"Huh?" Kevin said, confused.
"Never mind," Lucy dropped that part of the conversation. "You do remember that we have to pick up your mother, Ben, and Patti-Mary at the airport at 9, though, don't you?"
"I was hoping you could do that yourself," he grimaced.
"Kevin!" Lucy whined.
"I'm sorry, but I figured since I'm taking all next week off for the honeymoon, I should go ahead and work a little bit today."
Lucy sighed. "Oh, ok. I was just hoping that you'd be there when I meet your mother for the first time."
"Lucy, my mother's going to love you." Lucy nodded. "Maybe, Mary will go with you. She's met my mother before."
"To pick up Ben. I don't think so," Mary said.
"Mary, I really hope you and Ben will get along; for mine and Lucy's sake."
"I already told Mary she's getting along with Ben at least until the wedding is over tomorrow."
". . . And I told Ben the same thing," Kevin added, both he and Lucy looking at Mary.
"Alright! Alright! We'll get along," Mary surrendered. "But I'm still not going with you to the airport."
"That's ok. I'll be fine."
Kevin looked at his watch, "Oh, gotta go!" He kissed Lucy before grabbing a banana off the kitchen counter and heading out the door.
