"-Spencer, you have an ego as big as a house! He said to himself. You imagine every girl wants you! You are not irresistible you know!"
They went back to the hospital a couple of minutes later. Elizabeth was up, reading a magazine. Lucky kissed her gently and she asked how it went. Kerry started talking about the project they would build together, and Lizzie pretended to puke. Lucky laughed and told Kerry that for years he had tried to get Elizabeth interested in computers, but never succeeded. The nurse came to the room, asking them to lower their voices. Other patients were still trying to get some rest.
Elizabeth was happy. Her girlfriend and husband were getting along great together. In fact, Lucky was getting along with Kerry better than with anyone else, except her. At that thought, Liz felt the too well known feeling of jealousy. Maybe, just maybe, it wasn't a good idea after all to let Kerry sleep at their house while she wasn't there. Her thoughts were stopped where she heard a soft knock on the door and she saw a face she knew well and loved.
"-Mister Wagner! She said with a smile"
Her old landlord came in the room with a flock of balloons. He shook Lucky's hand and held Elizabeth. She was so happy to see him.
"-You didn't have to come all the way to the east coast you know! She told him
-Yeah, we would've taken the babies to ssee you, said Lucky -Oh it's nothing. I wanted to see how mmy two favorites students were doing anyway. I saw the little babies. They are adorable. What are their names? Mr. Wagner answered
-The baby boy is Lucas and the baby girll is Lori, answered Elizabeth"
Mister Wagner stayed a while, but then had to go back. He was taken a plane back to the University the same evening. Elizabeth still couldn't believe he came all this way just to see the babies. He was so sweet.
The Spencers took the twins home the next day. Kerry was gone, but she promised she would come to see them before the school year started. Elizabeth was shocked when she saw the nurseries. They were perfect. Lucky had done a really good job with them. The kids were sleeping, and the two parents were sitting in the living room, talking. He had missed Liz terribly. He had to talk to her about something, but didn't know how. Elizabeth was talking about the babies, when she saw that Lucky wasn't listening. She sighed and stopped talking. 10 minutes went by before Lucky realized she wasn't talking anymore.
"-Ok Spencer, she said. Want to tell me what's going? You haven't listened to anything I said
-I'm sorry Beautiful. What were you sayying?
-Why don't you tell me what's on your miind?
-Well, I have something to discuss with you. I don't want to go back.
-Go back where?
-To the University. I want to stay in PPort Charles. I don't want the twins to see our family only on thanksgivings and Christmas. I don't want our parents to get to know the kids when they are old enough to start pre-school. I don't want you to stay home alone in a strange city while I'm in school next semester.
-But Lucky we have to go back. We can'tt just leave school like that
-I never said that. Mister Wagner told me that PCU is finally offering Computer science. Ok, it's not the same quality, but you can take your art there too. That way, we wouldn't have to leave. Imagine in three years, take the kids away from their friends, leave our friends, to come back here? We have our house here, family, friends, our life is here. When we were just the two of us it was different. But I remember what it was like when we were always moving and I had to leave my friends behind. I don't want that for the twins. I mean, here they have cousins, grandparents, uncles and aunts they need to know. Please say we can stay? I really, really don't want to leave. But if you ask, I will do it. You know that."
Elizabeth's brain was going a hundred miles an hour. Sure she wanted to stay, but she didn't want to jeopardize Lucky's future either. PCU was offering his major, but not with the same quality. For her it wouldn't make any difference. Art was really good here.
"-I'll think about it. She said"
Lucky held her close to his heart. He would go anywhere, as long as at was with her. He was kissing her gently, when they heard the baby monitor go off. Lucky smiled at her saying it was already starting. He got up before Elizabeth and went to the nursery. Lori was up. Lucky took his daughter and sat in the rocking chair Wally gave them. He started rocking back and forth, talking to her. He had forgotten that the monitor was open and that Liz could hear everything he was saying to the baby.
"-You know that you are one lucky little girl? He said. Your mommy is the most amazing woman on the face of this earth and you, since you will be growing up by her side, will be just like her. She will show you how to be kind, loving, tender, and everything else she is. Do you know that she saved my life? The baby fussed and Lucky laughed. No it's true. I don't know where I would be without her. I know you wouldn't be here. Do you realized I came this close of letting her get away? Lori cooed. Yeah I know I was stupid. It will never happen again, trust me. You, me, mommy and Les are the real thing. You know, your brother, mommy and you are the most important thing in my life. I swear to you, here, now, to always be here for you guys. I hope you know that baby. He said, kissing Lori on top of her head.
-I'm sure she knows it, Lucky heard fromm the door. And I know it too."
Elizabeth came to him and kissed him. Lori screamed of indignation. Elizabeth laughed and rubbed her head. Lucky started to sing a lullaby to his daughter, and she went back to sleep.
Elizabeth went back downstairs, and Lucky followed her. He asked her what she thought of his idea and she answered that they could stay here. BUT If the classes at PCU were really mediocre, they would go back there. Lucky huggued his wife tightly. How their lives were changed he still couldn't believe. He was a father, a husband. Sure he still had a lot to learn, about everything, but he just knew that, no matter what life would throw at Elizabeth and him, they would face it together. Forever.
