Lucky got up a couple of minutes after her. He just pretended to sleep, because he didn't want her to know he had so much to do today. He needed to get his tux cleaned and pressed, as well as her dress. He had planned a surprise for her.
Lucky didn't see the day go by. When he heard Liz's key in the door, he quickly hid under the counter. She read the note on the table saying to go in the bathroom to put on the dress that was on the bed, and stay in the bathroom until she heard him knock on the door.
He put the candles on the table, along with the plates, the wine, bread and other little stuff. In the middle of it there was a single flower, like the one he had given her the day they painted the boxcar. When everything was ready he changed into his tux, combed his hair and knocked on the door.
She got out, and Lucky was breathless. Her hair was wet, indicating she took the time to take a shower before getting dressed. She was so beautiful, shyly smiling at him. He gave her his arm, and they walked into the kitchen like the would walk into a really classy restaurant. Elizabeth gasped when she saw the table. The light were closed and she only saw the table under the candle light. Lucky helped her sit down, and sat right in front of her. Smiling at her, he took her hand.
"-Lucky I love it, she said, but why?
-Well, this is my way of begging for yoour forgiveness.
-Forgiveness? For what?
-Well, with everything that's been goinng on since you grandmother showed up, I forgot that yesterday was the anniversary of our first kiss. He answered with a smile.
-Really? Yesterday? Do you know what this means?
-Yeah. Without knowing, we got marriedd on the first anniversary of our kiss. This is for you, he said, giving her a little box.
-What is it?
-I guess you'll have to open it to findd out."
Elizabeth rapidly opened the box and inside were the most beautiful earrings she had ever seen. Tears came up to her eyes. Lucky was looking at her, waiting for her to say something. Instead she got up and started kissing him. Lucky took and made her sit on him, just for her to be closer.
"-Thank you so much! What did I ever do to deserve you? She said
-I'm the one who's Lucky, he answered. My father must've have known you would be coming in my life to name me that
-I just hope we will not wait for the ffirst anniversary of the I love you to make love
-Why not?
-I won't be able to wait that long."
> They ate diner, talking about their plans for the future. Lucky was telling her the company he wanted to have, when the phone rang. Elizabeth got up and answered it.
"-Ms. Jensen, is everything ok? She asked after hearing Dara's greeting
-Of course dear, Dara answered, I justt heard about your wedding and wanted to congratulate you both.
-You know about the wedding?
-Sweetheart, everybody knows about the wedding around here!
-Really?
-Yeah, I heard it from Mac, who heard iit from Edward Quartermaine, who heard it from Monica, who heard it from Bobbie, who heard it from Luke.
-Wow!
-My sentiments exactly. Anyway, I justt wanted to tell you that here, we all are very happy for both of you."
Elizabeth hung up right after that and told Lucky. He started laughing, saying that the ladies were home safe. The phone didn't stop ringing all evening. Lucky was disappointed because his surprised didn't turned out the way he planned, but Elizabeth was happy, that was all that counted.
Time flew fast for the newlyweds, as they prepared to board a plane back to Port Charles. It was already November 19th, and they were going home for Thanksgiving. Luke was supposed to meet them at the PC airport, in about three hours. Lucky was holding Liz's hand, and smiled to her. The hostess asked Lucky if he wanted something to drink, when they were sitting down at their places. He refused, and she asked if his girlfriend would like one.
"-She's not my girlfriend, she's my wife. He answered with a smile"
The hostess smiled back and thought they did made a beautiful couple together. Liz said she wanted nothing and looked at the window. Lucky realized she looked down.
"-Beautiful? He asked
-What? She replied without looking at him
-What's wrong? He asked, putting a litttle pressure on her hand
-Nothing really
-Elizabeth, don't lie to me. You are aafraid of going back to Port Charles aren't you?"
She looked at him with her eyes full of tears. He whispered "oh baby" before putting his arm around her shoulders. She cried a little before telling him she was afraid all her fears would all come back to her about that night, and that all the progress she made would all have been for nothing and that she would lose him.
"-Elizabeth, baby, even if that happens, we'll go back from the start, I don't care, as long as you are with me.
-But Lucky, you were so patient with mee, I don't think you will be that patient again.
-Whatever it takes, I'll do it. When wwe go back to school, if you need me to sleep on the floor again, I'll get the sleeping bag out and sleep in it. But please, don't think that I will abandon you. Never have and never will. Now that's something to cry about, being stuck with me for the rest of your life."
Elizabeth smiled through her tears and he kissed her on her forehead, like he always did when she was afraid of falling asleep. She leaned on his shoulder, thanking the Lord for Lucky. Where would she be without him? Just like as if he read her thoughts, he gently started singing How Do I in her ear.
"How do I get through one night without you
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be?
Oh I need you in my arms, need you to hold
You're my world, my heart, my soul
If you ever leave, baby you would take away everything
Good in my life
And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know
How do I breath without you?
If you ever go?
How do I ever, ever survive?
How Do I live?
Without you
There would be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There would no world left for me
And I, baby I don't know what I would do
I'd be lost if I lost you
If you ever leave
Baby would take away everything
Real in my life
And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know
How do I breath without you?
If you ever go?
Baby how do I ever survive?
Please tell me baby
How do I go on?
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything
Need you with me
Baby don't you know that you're everything
Good in my life?
And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know
How do I breath without you?
If you ever go?
Baby how do I ever survive?"
Smiling through her tears, Elizabeth looked at him and said;
"-It's a good thing you'll never have to find out"
