Can This Be True - Chapter 29

by Amber


Lucky looked at his father.

Lucky: The wedding? Dad, Elizabeth and I haven't talked about that.

Luke: What, you've lived together for the last two years, you have a baby together, and it never came up?

Lucky: No, I guess we were just concentrating on staying safe.

Luke: Well, you are safe now, so...

Lucky: So what?

Luke: So, ask her.

Lucky: Dad, we still have to find a place of our own, and I don't even have a ring.

Laura: Yes, you do.

Lucky: What?

Laura: Wait here.

Laura went upstairs and a few minutes later she came back down and handed Lucky a black box.

Lucky: Mom, what is this?

Laura: Open it.

Lucky opened the box and it was a small diamond on a gold band. Lucky just stared at it.

Lucky: Mom, it's beautiful.

Laura: It was your grandmother's and she always wanted you to have it to give to your bride.

Lucky: Thank you.

Lucky went over to hug his mother and Liz came through the door. Lucky quickly put the ring in his pocket.

Liz: Hello, everyone. Did I interrupt something?

Luke: Not at all, darlin'...Well, now that we have you both here your mother and I have a big surprise for you.

Lucky: Dad, what did you do?

Laura: Why don't you take them, Luke? I want to stay here with my granddaughter.

Luke: Ok, well then let's go.

Liz: Ok.

Luke, Liz, and Lucky all got in Luke's caddy and drove a few minutes. They pulled up to an apartment building.

Lucky: Dad, what are we doing here?

Luke: Man, you ask too many questions...come on, let's go.

The three walked into the building and got on the elevator and went up to the 7th floor. When they got off the elevator, they turned around the corner and were standing in front of a door with a big red ribbon on it. Luke opened the door and the three walked in. It was fully furnished and decorated.

Liz: Wow, this is beautiful.

Lucky: I'll say...whose is it?

Luke: Yours.

Lucky: What?

Luke: It is for you guys from me and your mother. We knew you did not have a place, so we got one for you. We had it for a while, and your mother had it furnished and there is a fully equipped nursery upstairs for Lacey.

Liz: Luke, I don't know what to say.

Lucky: Dad, we have to pay you back.

Luke: Having you back in my life is all the payment I need. Welcome Home.

Liz and Lucky both hugged Luke.

Lucky: Umm, Dad, could you give us a few minutes?

Luke: Oh, sure.

Luke walked into the other room.

Liz: I can't believe this place.

Lucky: I know. Umm, Elizabeth, I have something to ask you.
