Chapter 10
Scotty woke up the next morning and rolled over finding her side of the bed empty. His brow furrowed in confusion, where had she gone. "Lil?" he called as he sat up and ran a hand over his face. He swung his leg out of bed and bend down to pick up his boxers; he slid them on and walked out of the room and down the stairs. She wasn't in the living room, she wasn't in the kitchen. She wouldn't just leave without telling him, or at least waking him. Just when he was about to pick up the phone and try calling her, she walked in the front door. "There you are Cariño" he said
"Yeah sorry, had to run to the store this morning" Lilly replied, showing him a plastic bag in her hand.
"What's in the bag?" he asked.
Lilly put it on the kitchen table and started to take the contents out of the bag. "Ovulation kits and pregnancy tests" she answered.
"What's with all this?" he asked
"It's to help us get pregnant" she replied.
He chuckled "I thought what we did last night was to help us get pregnant"
Lilly giggled "Well that helps to, but we need these to tell us when the best time to have sex is" she said holding up the ovulation test kits "And these to tell us when we are, obviously"
Scotty smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist, pressing a kiss to the side of her head "Why don't you come back to bed" he said softly.
Lilly groaned "No I can't, I am meeting Chris in half an hour; she says that she has some news"
"Can't it wait?" he moaned, pressing kisses to her shoulder
"No Scotty, she said it was important"
He sighed and nodded "Okay, later then?"
She smiled "Definitely" She leaned in and pressed a kiss to his lips "Why don't you sit back and watch some TV" Lilly suggested "I should be home in a couple of hours" He nodded again. Lilly turned on her heel and walked back out of the kitchen.
Chris sat at the table in the small cafe, waiting for her sister. She wasn't exactly sure what her sister's reaction would be to her news. Ever since Lilly had forgiven her for the whole Patrick thing several years ago, and they started to get along again, Lilly had become very overprotective of her. Not that she really minded it was like when they were kids again. She also knew that Lilly didn't really like her boyfriend but she just chalked it up to her being a big sister. Lilly walked in and waved, smiling brightly when she saw her. "Hey Chris" Lilly said as she sat down.
"Hey Lil"
"So what's the big news?" Lilly enquired
"We can get to that" Chris said evasively "Let's get something to eat first"
"Okay" Lilly replied and she picked up the menu.
They ordered some food, Lilly told her how work was going and Chris told her about her job. Lilly was growing impatient now; she knew Chris was avoiding telling her about something "Chris?" Lilly interrupted her "Can you just tell me why you wanted to meet me?"
"Okay" Chris said and she took a deep breath "I...well...we...that is to say Jake..."
"Chris, just spit it out"
"Lil, um Jake got a new job" Chris said cheerily.
"That's really good Chris"
"Yeah, a job offer came up and he took it cause he wanted to be closer to his parents" Chris continued to explain "The jobs in Vancouver"
Lilly frowned "I am sorry Chris, I know you liked him"
"Err Lil, we're not breaking up...I am going with him" Chris said "I am moving to Vancouver"
"Oh" Lilly was shocked; her baby sister had just told her that she was leaving the country with her boyfriend. The guy she only had known for such a short time, Lilly had to say something, had to tell her that she was making a mistake. Had to tell her that she shouldn't and couldn't go.
"Lil, I know what you must be thinking" Chris began "I know that you're going to tell me that I haven't known him for that long but Lil, I know I love him...like you know you love Scotty"
Lilly rolled her eyes "That's different Chris, I knew Scotty Seven years before we started to date and two years before we got married. You've known Jake...what? Eight months?"
"It's been almost year Lil, I love him"
Lilly sighed "So nothing I say is going to change your mind?" Chris shook her head "I am really going to miss you; I am glad that we are friends again"
"Me too and hey, I can come back and visit anytime. When you and Scotty finally get your acts together and give me a niece or nephew, I'll come back and spoil them rotten." Chris said "I can be the cool aunt from Canada"
Lilly grinned "Well you may not have to wait long; Scotty and I have decided to start trying"
"Really?" Chris asked, excitement coloring her voice and Lilly nodded "Well what are you doing here, you could be home with that gorgeous husband of yours" and they both laughed, Lilly blushing furiously
"So when do you leave?" Lilly asked sobering and running a hand through her hair.
"Jake leaves in a couple of week? I follow in a month"
"Doesn't seem like much time" Lilly replied
"No not really, I was going to tell Dad tonight"
"Good luck with that, should have heard his reaction when I told him Scotty was moving in with me. Wonder what he'd say when you tell him you moving out of the country?"
Chris chuckled "Maybe you could come with me tonight?"
Lilly shook her head "No deal, I am spending the night with my gorgeous husband remember?"
Scotty tore his eyes from the TV as Lilly walked back in and smiled. "Hey you" He said happily, standing up and walking over to her "How was Chris?" He asked. Lilly smiled and pressed a kiss to his lips and sighed "She's moving to Canada with Jake" She replied sadly.
"What?" Scotty asked as he followed her into the kitchen.
"Yeah, Jake got a new job and Chris is going with him" Lilly replied and she started to make herself a cup of coffee.
"Well, good for her" Scotty replied
"Good for her? Scotty my baby sister is moving out of the country. How is that good for her?" she spat.
Scotty closed the small gap between them and took her in his arms, gently caressing her arms
"Cariño, I know she's your baby sister but she deserves to be happy and Jake makes her happy"
Lilly sighed and looked up at him "Why do you have to always be right about these sorts of things?" she asked him.
Scotty chuckled and pressed a kiss to her forehead "Just because" he replied and Lilly laughed.
"She did say one thing though" Lilly said
"What's that?" He asked, his face pressed against her hair.
"She wanted us to hurry up and give her a niece or nephew"
Scotty grinned and stoop to pick her up, slinging her over his shoulder "Well in that case" He walked out of the room and up the stairs, she shrieked with laughter as they ascended the stairs and Scotty hurried down the hallway to their bedroom.
