That Night

Summary: Lilith and Niles' one night stand was more than just a desperate attempt for them to reaffirm their own worth. Takes place sometime after "The Life of the Party" but before "Sweet Dreams".
Lilith Sternin could not bring herself to open her eyes. She knew that the bathroom door was locked, so there was absolutely no way Frederick could find her. She doubted her son was even awake. It was only one thirty in the morning after all.
I have to know, Lilith thought to herself. Why else would I have woken up forty-five minutes ago and taken the damn thing? The mere possibility of this has been driving me crazy for over a month.
Lilith drew in a deep breath and finally brought herself to open her frightened, anxious eyes. She instantly brought her free left hand up in front of her face, shielding her eyes from the harsh bright light in the bathroom.
"What are you doing?" she asked herself angrily. Her tone was still soft as not to disturb Frederick. "You're only putting off the inevitable," she reminded herself.
With that being said, Lilith lowered her left hand towards the bottom of her purple bathrobe where it joined with her right one. Both hands now grasped the small wooden stick she had previously been holding in her right hand. She slowly raised both hands until they were even in height with her breasts.
Come on, Dr. Sternin, Lilith commanded herself. You have to look at it.
Lilith nodded then slowly turned her head down. Her eyes slowly looked across the pregnancy test. A thick dark purple line was present in the control window.
Lilith's eyes finally looked to the second window- the window that would tell her whether or not she was carrying a child. She drew her breath in again and looked at it.
In it, there was a solid dark purple line.
The pregnancy test was positive.
Lilith was having another child.
