They were going back to Port Charles for the summer. Elizabeth was feeling humongous, even though she was only 6 months pregnant. Lucky was always checking up on her, making sure she was eating right, taking her walks, taking her vitamins. He went with her to every single doctor appointment, every Lamaze class, every test she had to take. It was THEIR baby, and, because he wasn't the one giving birth to it, he wanted to feel like he was an equal part in the process.
Laura still couldn't believe her son and daughter-in-law were having a baby. Luke and her would be grandparents by the end of the summer. Luke was ecstatic about it, and he wanted them to have a little girl, so he could spoiler her to death. Lesley Lu was happy too, because she was going to be an aunt, like her friend Coral. Laura felt like she was the only one not happy about the new little Spencer. Lucky was not ready to be a father. He liked being free to much to be able to be tied down for the rest of his life. Spending the rest of his life making sure his child was happy and healthy will tiring to him, and he would take off. Maybe not now, maybe not soon, but one day. Laura was sure of that. She didn't know just how much her son was in love with both members of his family.
Arriving in Port Charles, the young Spencers went to Audrey's house. Elizabeth was hesitating, she didn't want to live there so soon after her grandmother's death, but she didn't want to spend the next three months in her mother-in-law's house either. Lucky saw her take a deep breath, and open the door. The house was still the same as when she left of University 8 months ago, except the furniture were cover with big sheets. Lucky took her in his arms, when he felt her tensing up. This was going to be hard for her, really hard. Her head was on his chest, and he passed his hand in her hair, like he did so many times after she was raped.
"-Ok, enough with these tears, Gram wouldn't want that. Now, we have a lot of cleaning to do! She said, backing away from him
-There is no way you are doing some cleeaning in your condition missy
-Come on, you are not going to do all tthe cleaning by yourself? We have to wash everything, from walls to ceilings!
-I didn't say I would do it alone!"
Lucky started to take the sheets of the couch, when he heard behind him;
"-Cleaning party has arrived!"
Nikolas, Emily, Sly, Greg and Melissa were standing in the doorway. Lucky laughed at Liz's expression when she saw them there. Lucky took Melissa in his arms, shook Greg's hand, hit Sly behind the head, kissed Em on the cheek, and put his hand on Nikolas' shoulder.
"-You guys ready? Lucky asked, when he saw Melissa and Emily rubbing Liz's belly. Hey, I didn't ask you here to clean my wife's belly, now get to work women"
Lucky went in the car, got some cleaning stuff he bought on the way, and got back in the house. All the sheets were already gone from the living. Emily went for the radio, and put some music on. The little gang cleaned the whole house in less than 5 hours. Lucky was soaked from head to toe. Nikolas, Sly and Greg took him, put him in the bathtub and opened the water, because he was acting like a Army General. Elizabeth saw him coming downstairs, his clothes dripping with water and laughed. Lucky was smiling, and said to the guys he would get them back.
"-Can I join the fun? They heard from the door"
Everyone turned around, and saw Sarah, standing in the doorway. Lucky swallowed hard. What was she doing there? He still couldn't believe what she had said to him last time they danced, and he had tried to stay clear from her at Christmas. Elizabeth was happy to see her sister and Nikolas was kind of uneasy.
"-Sarah, what are you doing here? Asked Liz with a smile on her face
-Well, Mom and Dad decided to move backk here, to be close to you and the baby. She answered.
-That's great! Liz said, holding her ssister. Where do you live?
-A couple of houses from here actually.. I heard that you were coming back today, and I thought I'd give you a hand moving in but I see you have plenty of help. Hi All
-We are finished but you are welcome too stay, we were about to order pizza, said Lucky"
Lucky didn't really wanted her to, but he was doing it for his wife. She was obviously happy to see Sarah.
The gang rented a movie for the evening. Lucky was happy to see that his buddy was back with Melissa. He knew how much Greg loved her. Sarah was near Lucky all night, and that was playing in his nerves. He knew Elizabeth had noticed, and he was feeling her nervous about it. Around midnight, when nearly everyone was gone, except Sarah and Sly, Lucky told them it was time for Liz and him to go to bed. Tomorrow was her first sonogram. Lucky couldn't wait to find out the sex of the little tyke. He was hoping for a boy, to teach him about cars, sports, girls, life! He also wanted a girl. He wanted her beautiful, gentle, loving, caring, like her mother.
The next day, Lucky woke up before Elizabeth. He watched her sleep, his heart about to explode in his chest. He loved her so much, it was hurting him. He started to rub her belly, where is child was asleep too. His child. They would bring a tiny little person in this world. It was so unbelievable.
When Elizabeth was ready, they headed to the General Hospital. His aunt Bobbie was waiting for them, and she would perform the sonogram. Elizabeth didn't want to know the sex, but Lucky was insisting. That way, they could buy the right things, blue or pink. He didn't think like that, but he knew how much Elizabeth hated those stereotype.
Bobbie explained how it would go to Elizabeth and Lucky, smiling all the way. Bobbie was so happy for her nephew, and this girl she had grown to love like a niece. They would make wonderful parents, and the kid would receive more than his share of love.
Elizabeth felt something cold on her belly, and stepped a little. Bobbie told her it was normal, that stuff would help them to see the baby. Lucky was looking at the screen, thinking he would get to see his kid, but it was all blurry. Bobbie was carefully looking too and said "Oh My God. Lucky didn't see nothing wrong and asked if everything was alright.
"-Well, yes, everything is fine. I think, she said
-What's wrong? Asked Elizabeth
-Well, nothing.
-What's the sex? Asked Lucky
-Which one?"
Lucky didn't understand at first, but Elizabeth put her hand to her mouth.
"-Which one? Elizabeth repeated
-Yeah, Kids, you are having twins
-TWINS? Shouted Lucky"
The room started spinning around him. Twins? How could that be? Elizabeth was squeezing his hand. When he realized how tight, he said
"-Elizabeth you are hurting me!"
Elizabeth left Lucky's hand, and the poor guy shook it to death, saying ow!
"-From what I see, it'll be a boy and a girl. But I'm not sure, could be the umbilical cord for the boy. Congratulations to both of you. I'll get your picture and then you can get out of here. Said Bobbie"
Lucky took his aunt in his arms, while Elizabeth got dressed. So that was why she was so big. Twins? How will they manage that? Liz was stunned, and Lucky looked happy. A boy and a girl, what a nice surprise, he was thinking.
Lucky took his wife home and, on the way, she was looking at the very first picture of their children. She could clearly see the heads, while Lucky was yapping away. Laura would flip out. She wasn't happy with one, imagine two! Where would they find the money to raise them both? Lucky was grinning from one ear to the next, while she was worried. He was actually happy with the turn of events, she wasn't. Not that she didn't already love the other baby to death, but this would put a stop in their plans. She didn't know how, but she was worried.
"-I still can't believe we are having twins! Lucky said with a smile
-Me neither. Do you think everything wwill be alright?
-Of course it will. I won't let anythiing go wrong for you, or these little guys in there"
Elizabeth thought he was right. Nothing bad would happen as long as he was with them. The best thing to do was to sit back and enjoy the ride. It would be a bumpy one.
