"-Hi Angel, he said with a smile, mad at me?"
Elizabeth took him in her arms and said;
"-I'm just glad you're okay. Now let's go, your mother's been waiting for me. -For what?
-She said she needs me to help her tomoorrow's diner
-Oh yeah, your parents and my parents aare having diner together. You know that, from the law's point of view, we are cousin? Lucky said with a laugh
-Second degree cousin, and we are not eeven blood-related. Elizabeth answered. Let's go"
When Lucky parked in front of his parents' house, he took Elizabeth in his arms and kissed her, as she was walking towards the house. She was trying to get away from him, but he wouldn't let her. She ran the doorbell, Lucky lips still on hers. Laura opened the door, smiled and said;
"-Ok Lucky, that's enough."
Lucky stepped away from his wife and she got in. Laura's living room was filled with decorations. Blue balloons, red balloons, wreaths, and Liz heard
"-SURPRISE"
People were coming out of everywhere. Kitchen, closets, stairs, everywhere. Elizabeth was laughing. Never in a million year she would have thought they were planning a baby shower! Lucky was holding her hand and laughing. He knew about it all along, and was kissing her all the way to the front door so she wouldn't see all the cars parked outside. He wasn't with Jason, he was here when Laura called. She wanted to make Elizabeth think this was just a normal afternoon. Liz held her mother-in-law, while Nikolas was taking pictures. Everyone came to kiss her and Lucky, and then Luke took his son and step-son aside. This was a woman's party, no men allowed. The guys went out in the yard with a table, four chairs and two decks of cards. Luke went back in the house, got a cooler full of beers, got his box of cigars and went out again. Nikolas, Lucky, Luke and Wally were going to play poker while the women would do their thing. Later, Mac, Jerry, Jason, Jeff, Sonny, and even Ned went to play Poker with them.
Elizabeth was watching from the door, her eyes full of love. Lucky had a beer in front of him, a cigar between his teeth, his cards in front of him. He was talking to Nikolas, a huge smile on his face. His eyes were so clear, and he was looking so happy. Elizabeth saw Lucky take a card out of his hand and said hit me to Wally, while his friend slapped him behind his head. Lucky looked at Wally and slapped him back.
"-Why did you do that for? Lucky asked
-You're the one who said Hit Me! Repliied Wally"
Elizabeth laughed and went back in the living. They were about to make her open the presents. Laura went in the garden, to tell Lucky they were going to open the presents. When Luke saw his son getting up he said;
"-Don't go in there boy, it's a trap
-They are my kids too, and I want to seee the gifts!"
Elizabeth opened the first gift, the one from Laura and Luke. It was a beautiful crib. Elizabeth gasped. That was expensive! She got up to thank them, but Bobbie said to open them all and after there would be the kisses and thanks. Elizabeth took the one from her parents. It was the other crib. Liz wanted to cry. Bobbie gave her the next gift, from her, Jerry and Lucas. It was one high chair. Elizabeth could not believe this. These gifts were far too expensive. Carly gave her the next one, from her and Jason. Elizabeth already knew what was inside. The other high chair. The boxes were the same size. Sarah gave her a double-stroller. Alexis had brought a changing table, from her and Ned. Amy, Lucky's aunt, gave them a lot of different clothes. Dara gave them a basket with full of baby stuff like pacifier, bibs, and bottles.
By the time Elizabeth had open every single gift, it was diner time. Lucky was watching from the door, and every time Liz was looking at him, he was winking at her. This was the best day she had in a long time. Her fun was cut short when she saw Sarah getting up and joined Lucky in the doorway. She couldn't hear what they were saying, but Lucky was all smiles.
Lucky saw Sarah coming near him, and wanted to run back out. Luke was right when he said it was a trap, but not the way he intended. He smiled at her, but he wanted to run away.
"-Hi! Sarah said with a big smile
-Hi sister-in-law. Enjoying yourself?<
-No bad. Need some music though. Wannna dance?
-First, there's no music and second, I don't feel like it
-You are no fun! She said, getting clooser to him
-That's not what Elizabeth said last niight."
Sarah looked at him and smiled. Her looks wanted to say "wanna have fun with me" but Lucky was acting like he didn't understand what she wanted. Elizabeth was watching them from the couch. Lucky, without even saying anything, left Sarah standing there, and went to sit next to Liz.
"-Hi handsome, she said, kissing the hand he just took
-Hey Angel. Like it so far? He said, kissing her cheek
-You really are full of surprises Mr Sppencer
-Yeah and you haven't seen the last of them.
-Had fun playing Poker?
-Yeah but now I'm starving! Hey mom, wwhere's the grub?"
Laura laughed and looked at her son. He was all smiles, and got up the couch. He took Laura in his arms, and talked to her in her ear. Laura laughed and led him in the kitchen. Sarah went and sat beside Liz.
"-Your husband is something else, Sarah said to her sister.
-Oh yes he is. Sarah, can I ask you a question?
-Of course
-Are you in love with Lucky?
-No! Why would you think that
-Then leave him the hell alone!"
Sarah was looking at Liz, stunned.
"-Lizzie, that was very rude, Sarah said
-Well, you are rude. You come over onlly when he is there, you are always flirting with him, buzzing around him and I'm tired of it. He is MY husband Sarah. You had your chance and you blew it.
-Yeah, that's why he's with you
-That's just it isn't it? You can't sttand the thought of me having something you don't. I have a husband, and soon I'll have his two children. That's why you want Lucky so much. To take him away from me! Well it won't work so why don't you give it up!
-Enjoy it while it lasts Lizzie. Luckyy wanted me in the first place and as soon as he'll remember it, as soon as you'll stop playing those little games, he'll be back with me.
-Don't hold your breath. Lucky loves mme and he would never leave me for a bitch!
-That's weird because he loves bitches,, that's why he's with you!"
Elizabeth's hand slapped Sarah's face before Liz had time to think about it. She didn't want to hit her sister, but her body did it anyway. Lucky was the first near Elizabeth, putting his arm around her shoulders. Sarah was looking at them, with her hand where Liz hit her. Lucky was whispering stuff to Elizabeth to get her to calm down. Laura went to see Sarah and asked her to leave. Sarah looked one last time at her sister and said;
"-Remember what I said Lizzie, because it will soon be over"
