Chapter Seven: Oh Baby
It had been a couple of weeks since their honeymoon and Dante still had no clue about the secret Lulu was carrying.
She stared at herself in the bathroom mirror. You could see a bump forming, so Lulu knew she had to tell him soon, but when?
"When he gets home from work." She said to herself. "I have to tell him."
Lulu checked the clock and realized she was late for work.
"Shit." She cursed, but then bit her lip and looked down at her stomach. "Oops, I mean shoot."
"Your late, Lulu." Maxie said as soon as Lulu got off the elevator.
"Really? I had no idea." She smiled.
"Ha ha, very funny." Maxie said putting her hand on her hip. "It's going to be a crazy day, Kate left us like a million things to do while she's away."
Lulu covered her mouth and looked around franticly for a garbage can. When she finally found Maxie's waste basket, she threw up three times.
"Oh my God, are you okay!" Maxie asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Lulu lied. "I'm just not feeling well."
"Do you have like the flu or something?"
"Yeah...I guess so."
"God, Lulu. You are a horrible liar!" Maxie laughed.
"I'm not lying!"
"I could, teach you, how to lie." She said. "You'll need to know how, now that your married."
Lulu laughed. "I can lie, but I'm not."
"Sure you not." Maxie smiled. "So when's the baby shower?"
"What!" Lulu asked. "Why would you say that, have you talked to Carly?"
Maxie smiled. "Know I didn't talk to Carly, but I'm assuming she knows too. Have you told Dante?"
"No, and at this rate he's going to be the last to know!"
"Calm down, Calm down!" She waved her hands. "I won't tell."
"Promise, not even Spinelli. Cause if you tell him, than he'll tell Sam and then she'll tell Jason and Sonny will know before Dante! So you have to promise."
"Fine, I promise." Maxie said.
Dante walked out of Kelly's he smiled seeing his brother walking up. "Michael, hey."
I had took a while for him and Michael to become friends, but it slowly happened.
"Hey." He smiled. "Coming or Going?"
"Going." Dante smiled holding up the to-go boxes. "Lulu requested Kelly's."
Michael laughed.
"So I heard about your girlfriend." Dante smiled.
"What?" Michael asked confused. "Is that suppose to be a joke? I can get a girlfriend if I want one."
Now Dante was confused. "Your mom said you had a girlfriend."
"Oh, great, she's probably going to set me up with someone." He sighed.
"Yeah, I guess that's what she meant." Dante said, still confused. Why would Carly say he had a girlfriend if he didn't?
"I gotta go, but your coming to dad's tomorrow night, right?"
"Yeah, we'll be there. See ya kid." Dante smiled.
Lulu was nervous enough without Carly in her ear, but this was her second time calling.
"Did you tell him yet?" she asked.
"He's not home yet, I'll call you later." She smiled
"Are you going to Sonny's tomorrow?"
"Yeah, we'll be there. Are you going?"
"Yeah, if I can talk Jax's into it."
"I'm sure you'll find a way." Lulu laughed as the door opened. "Call you later, Carly."
"You better."
"Bye." Lulu hung up the phone while Dante was already grabbing them a beer.
"How was your day?" she asked.
"Good. Yours." He kissed her on the cheek and then handed her a beer.
"Um, I, I think I'm going to drink some water." She stuttered.
"Why?"
This is it. She thought to herself. Time to tell him, it's now or never.
"I'm off Alcohol for nine months." She smiled hoping he would catch on.
"Why?" He looked at her for a moment and then he got it. "Oh my God, your pregnant!"
He was happy. Thank God he was happy about it. Lulu thought while he twirled her around.
"How long have you known?" He asked sitting her down.
"Few weeks." She smiled.
"You should have told me." He smiled. "This is great!"
"I was worried Carly would tell you, she can't keep a secret at all."
"Wait, Carly knew?"
"Yeah, she found out right before we went on our honeymoon."
Dante laughed. "So that explains it."
"Explains what?"
"Why Micheal thought I was joking when I asked about his girlfriend."
Lulu laughed.
He smiled and then pulled her into a hug. "I'm really happy, Lulu."
Lulu kissed his cheek. "Me too."
