Lilly fixed her jean jacket on herself before she left her new room.

"Where are you going" Mary asked when Lilly reached the living room.

"For a walk" Lilly said as she fixed her Converse sneakers, "don't worry, I'll be fine."

"Be back before midnight."

"Sure" Lilly opened the door and left.

She faced a nice, sunny warm June day.

She climbed down the porch steps and started on her way.

After church, Lacey leaned back in her SUV car and covered her face, it had been a long morning.

She was thinking about a couple of things like Laura, Baby Luke, her fake pregnancy, Hank Bruno, skipped over Lilly and her big move.

Just then, Baby Luke started crying but Lacey ignored him.

She took a deep breath and looked outside at everyone hugging and talking outside of church. Then Baby Luke started crying louder, she looked back at him as he threw his hands up and down in the air, having a tantrum.

"Luke Brett Amber" she called his full name, "stop that crying right at this moment."

He continued to cry but he stopped waving his arms. Lacey reached into her purse and pulled out a white and blue Binky and put it in her son's mouth.

Then, Keyshia Wright, a news reporter walked up to the SUV. Keyshia had her long black hair up in a ponytail and her dark brown eyes shined in the sun and so did her dark chocolate skin. "Hey Lacey" she smiled.

"Hi Keyshia" Lacey quickly sat up and rubbed at her eyes, "how are you doing?"

"Fine, just thought I'd stop by and say hey."

"Oh" Lacey nodded, "well we're doing fine."

"Where's Laura?"

"Oh, she's not here."

"Really? Isn't she always with you?"

"Ha ha" Lacey nodded "yeah, but today Luke is here with us."

Keyshia reached her head through the window and looked at Baby Luke, "girl, that boy is two years old and you still have him sucking on a binky?"

Lacey smiled and nodded her head "yeah."

"Well let's hope new baby isn't going to do the same thing."

"What" Lacey looked at Keyshia confused.

"Girl, don't try to hide your secret from me, I know you're pregnant."

Lacey's mouth dropped open in a surprised way "shut up! Who told you?"

"A little birdie."

"Oh my goodness! But don't go telling anyone else Keyshia!"

Keyshia held out her hand "girl, I won't."

At night time, Kelsey and Lilly were sitting on Kelsey's porch eating Vanilla Ice-Cream.
