Summary: Siva's reaction and the hospital banquet.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. This is fiction.
Pleasurable Nights
Siva hadn't reacted too bad. No shouting, no hitting. Just silence.
Flashback
"Siva, I'm pregnant."
The older man didn't react. He just stared.
"Siva? Are you ok? Say something, please."
Luke was a bit scared now. This was odd. Siva was never silent. He talked almost as much as Katie when she drank Red Bull or coffee.
"Are you sure?"
"The tests were done in the hospital. I'm 100% sure."
"I see. And you want to keep it?"
"Yes."
Siva nodded at his lover.
"I see. I need some air. Goodbye Luke."
The Irish man left the apartment, leaving Luke alone in their home.
"Well, that went well."
End Flashback
That was yesterday. Siva had come home later that night, drunk. And now Luke was sitting on his bed, in a tuxedo to go to a hospital banquet. He hated these things and even worse, Reid was going to be there. Luke took a deep, fortifying breath and walked out his front door.
Reid took a gulp of the beer in his hand. He hated these things. He already had to talk to Chris and Bob and all the other doctors and benefactors. He had yet to see Luke though.
"Reid? I didn't think you'd come. You hate these things."
Luke stood behind him , looking comfortable in his tuxedo.
"Well, as head of a department, I have to come to these things. You, however, don't. Who willingly comes to these things?"
"I like people Reid."
"Someone has to. Anyway, how did Siva take the news?"
"I think he took it well."
"You think he took it well?"
"Let's sit down as we can talk."
Three hours later, Reid and Luke were sitting at a table, by themselves, talking quietly. As Reid looked around the room, he noticed people leaving.
"I think we're done here. Everyone's leaving."
"I didn't realize it was so late."
"It's only midnight."
"Come on Reid, that's late for Oakdale. We're usually all tucked up in bed with a glass of warm milk and a good book by half nine."
"Cute."
"Aren't I?"
"Tell you what, we still have a lot to catch up on. What don't we go to my room, have a couple of drinks and catch up?"
"Reid."
"Just drinks and chat. I mean it. Please?"
"Ok, let's go."
A/N Done. R&R please. Next chapter, what happens in the room.
