A Miracle - Chapter 5

by Amber


     Mac had an officer drive Lucky to Kelly's. He hoped that she as working. When he got there, the officer waited outside for him. But before Lucky went in, he asked the officer if he had a quarter. The officer gave it to Lucky and Lucky walked in Kelly's. The place was empty. Liz was in the kitchen cleaning up when she heard the door open.

Liz: (from the kitchen) Sorry, we are closed.

     Lucky recognized her voice. It had been so long. Lucky walked over to the jukebox and put the quarter in and played a song.

Can this be true
Can this be real
How can I put into words what I feel
My life was complete
I thought I was whole
Why do I feel like I'm losing control
Never thought that love could feel like this
And you changed my world with just one kiss
How can this be
That right here with me
There's an angel
It's a miracle

     Liz's heart sank when she heard that song playing, but then she got mad because they were closed and she'd already cleaned up. The person obviously ignored her and is expecting to be served. Liz walked out of the kitchen.

Liz: I'm sorry, we are cl...

     Liz just stood there, frozen in disbelief.

You love is like a river
Peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret
That I never could keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that's it's true
God must have spent a little more time on you.

     Liz and Lucky just stared into each other's eyes. Liz could barely speak.

Liz: (In a soft voice) Lucky.

Lucky: Yeah, it's me, Elizabeth.

     Liz ran over to Lucky and threw her arms around him, and he put his arms around her back and held her close.

In all of creation
All things great and small
You are the one that surpasses them all
More precious then many diamond or pearl
You broke the mold
When you came in this world
And I'm trying hard to figure out
Just how I ever did without
The warmth of your smile
The heart of a child
That's deep inside
It leaves me purified

Your love is like a river
Peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret
That I never could keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that it's true
God must have spent a little more time on you
A little more time on you

     The song ended and Liz and Lucky just stood in the middle of Kelly's holding each other. Still in his arms, Liz looked in his eyes.

Liz: Are you really here?

Lucky: Yes, I'm here.

Liz: How?

Lucky: Come sit down and I will tell you everything.

     Lucky sits with his back to the door and tells Liz everything that has happened in the last year and a half.

Liz: I am sorry you had to go through that.

Lucky: Well, I am okay now. I am just sorry you went on all this time thinking I was dead and thinking that I left you.

Liz: It was not your fault. I missed you so much

Lucky: I missed you too, Elizabeth.

     They get up from the table and held each other, and then Lucky lowered his face so his lips met hers and he kissed her. It started slow, but he deepened it very quickly. They both had longed for that momnet for so long.

Lucky: I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. I don't even know if you are seeing anyone.

Liz: Lucky, of course I am not seeing anyone. I never have. I wasn't ready for that. I never got over you. I love you.

Lucky: Oh Elizabeth, I love you too.

     They kiss again, and just then Luke walks in. Lucky has his back to him and Luke is surprized to see Liz kissing someone like that.

Luke: Sorry, I did not mean to interrupt.

     Liz and Lucky pull apart and Lucky looks at Liz knowing it is his father.

Liz: That's ok, you did not interrupt.

Luke: Liz, I did not realize you were seeing someone.

     With that Lucky turned around and looked at his father. Luke stood there in shock. Was he really looking at the son he thought he had lost forever?
