About 4 hours later, Lily sat on her sofa in her pj's both a.) missing Rufus and b.) watching How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. She sat here by herself on Valentine's Day like she had for many years. so, it reallyw asn't anythign unusual to her. Usually, her husbands had been away. There was, however, one different thing about this time. This time she was in love. Maybe that was why it hurt more. Maybe that was why she found herself unable to focus on the movie. She missed him. It hurt that she was alone of Valentine's Day.

A coupel hours earlier, she had gone to her family doctor and it appeared that she had just had a stomach virus, but they had run a few tests and were going to see

Knock Knock.

Who the hell could that be?

"Coming." She yelled towards the door.

"Rufus!" She exclaimed as she opened the door, " I didn't expect you."

He was standing at her front door, a dozen red roses in hand.

"Are you kidding? You thought I wouldn't be with you on Valentine's Day? Are you insane?"

"Obviously so. I just didn't expect you," a pause," I'm happy you're here though."

"So am I. And, I brought stuff for you."

"Oooh. goody. What sort of stuff?"

"Well, for starters. Lilies, for your lovely self."

"Oooh, my favorite. They are absolutely marvelous, Rufus."

"That's not even the best part. Do you remember when we were in------"

Lily's phone started to ring.

It was a number she didn't recognize.

"Hello?"

"Yes, this is she."

"Oh? What'd they say?"

"Wow..uhmm. That's really unexpected. Thank you."

"I'll be sure to."

She hung up.

"Who was that? Is everything okay?" Rufus questioned very curious.

"It was the doctor. I went there earlier. And they ran tests."

"Lil, is something wrong?"

"No, but uhm...they did find..something." She said solemnly.

"Lily, what'd they find?" Worry was etched in his face now.

"Rufus, I don't know how to say this. I'm----I'm pregnant."
