"I understand that...I'm not asking to be a couple…Well right now any way." Lucky grinned and even Liz couldn't hide a smile. "I'm asking you to be my roommate."
"Lucky…" Liz said again cut off.
"Wait…I know you don't want to live with an addict and right now I'm not… If you're not happy in a month…I'll let go. I just feel safer with you living with me while you're pregnant. Besides the fact I don't like being alone…I miss you…and Cam." Lucky was rambling. He was nervous and had become scared of rejection…Well from Liz any way.
"I never said no Lucky."
"You never said yes."
"I don't know Lucky…I want to say yes but…"Liz stopped mid sentence not wanting to admit to Lucky she was scared.
Lucky thought for a moment finishing her sentence "You're scared aren't you." Liz simply nodded teary eyed. Lucky was on the verge of tears himself when he saw her admit she was scared of him. The woman he loved was scared of him.
Liz noticed quickly saying "I'm not afraid of the man I fell in love with…I'm afraid of the man I fell in love with on drugs and drastic amount of change it is between the two."
"Well do you at least want to see the house?"
"House?"
"Yeah…I used that three-hundred-thousand dollars that you refuse to take and I bought a house…It's on Maple Street, Four bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms…You know the basics."
"Lucky you shouldn't have..."
"But I did and even if you don't move in with me the house is yours…It was bought for you, Cameron and the baby...Our family…even if I'm not included." Liz smiled at Lucky. As she thought to herself how caring he is.
"Yes." Liz said finally seeing the man she fell in love with through the drug-addict perspective she had.
"You'll move in…"
"Yes…Now are we gonna go see this house or not?" Liz joked with Lucky nervous to see her new home.
The hard wood floors ran through the kitchen and dining room. The basement was recently redone and the perfect family room. Though all the rooms were white Liz looked the house as her blank canvas to make her family.
"Lucky it's beautiful…You need to let me help you pay for this." Liz said wondering if she shouldn't have accepted his gift.
"No it's a gift…You can't pay for your own gift."
"Okay then well can you at least explain to me how you're going to pay for this gift?"
"Don't worry about it…" That was Lucky's attempt to brush off the question.
"Lucky…" Liz somewhat whined.
"Fine…Instead of paying a mortgage I paid the house off and now in place of a mortgage I'll pay Nik and just pay the bills which should be easy with my new detective's salary."
"At least let me help pay some of the bills..."
"Fine, we'll talk later. But you need to pick out paint and furniture and stuff for the house first, so I can have it painted and ready for you guys to move in. The paint fumes aren't good for the baby."
Liz was surprised by normalness her and Lucky already reformed. But if he was going to be like this for her pregnancy…again…she would go crazy.
