Chapter 10

"Are you sure you don't want to go to your Mom's," Lulu asked as they came into her apartment.

Shaking his head, Dante said, "I'm not ready to talk to her yet. I don't know how to wrap my head around this Lu. My whole life has been a lie. "

Pulling him down on the couch with her, she said "whatever you decide to do, I'm behind you 100%. I can understand why she did what she did when you were little, but when you came to town to take Sonny down there was no reason not to tell you. All this time, I had been telling you that Sonny wouldn't hurt you but I know he is the one to put the hit out on you. This has all been such an eye opener."

"Let's talk about something else. I don't want to think about this right now. Pushing her backwards on the couch and running his hands over her stomach, Dante told her, I can't believe we are having twins. When do you have to go back to the doctor?"

"I actually have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Do you want to meet me at the hospital around 1:00 or do you have to go to the station tomorrow.

"I just have to check in with Mac sometime. He told me I had a job anytime so I can talk to him in the morning and then meet you for your appointment. Wow, I can't believe this is all happening. We are going to have to find a place to live, Dante said."

"I've been thinking about that, Lulu said. What would you think about asking Lucky if we can move into his old house? It's empty since him and Elizabeth built their house. I took the afternoon off, maybe we can talk to him then, that is if you want to.

"That's a great ideal," he said. "I haven't seen the whole house but it looks big enough for two rambunctious kids. If they are anything like me, we are going to need lots of room, he said laughingly.

Kissing him lightly, Lulu said, "it's been a long day and going to be even longer tomorrow. We're already working on the Valentine's issue of Crimson and with me taking off; I need to go in early. I'm going to get ready for bed. I can't seem to stay up as late as I used too for some reason."

"I'm going to lock up, I'll be there in a minute, Dante stated."

"Whoa, where did you get that, Dante asked from the bed when Lulu came out of the bathroom."

"From your room at Kelly's while you were gone. It made me feel closer to you. Do you mind?"

"No, my old NYPD t-shirt looks better on you than it ever did on me. How did you get in?"

"Never underestimate a Spencer; Lulu laughingly said joining him on the bed. We are very resourceful."

The next morning Lulu awoke to the smell of coffee. After getting dressed for work, she made her way into the kitchen. Looking up from the paper, Dante asked, do you want me to make you some breakfast or do you want to go to Kelly's? "

"Let's just go to Kelly's, my stomach is still a little queasy in the mornings, Lulu said."

An hour later, Lulu said, "I will meet you at the hospital at 1:00. I love you."

Kissing her goodbye, Dante said, "I love you, I'll see you at 1:00."

At the hospital, Dr. Lee asked if they had any questions before they got started. Holding tightly to Dante's hand, Lulu said, "not right now. "

Ok Dr. Lee said, "Let's see what we've got then." An hour later, both Dante and Lulu were awed by what they had seen on the sonogram machine. Staring at the pictures in their hands, they couldn't believe that was their baby boy and girl.

"I think we're still in shock," Dante told Dr. Lee.

"I understand perfectly Dante. I've already told Lulu that she will get tired a lot quicker than normal carrying twins. We have already checked her for the same condition that Carly had and she doesn't have it so that is good. Looking at Lulu, she said, take your vitamins, no stress and I will see you every three weeks for check-ups. If you have any problems or questions about anything, give me a call anytime. I'll see you in three weeks." Dr. Lee said as she left.

"When I was leaving the station, Lucky was going over to the Haunted Star to see your Dad." Dante told Lulu. I need to go get some stuff from my room at Kelly's unless you need me to go with you?

"No go ahead. I'll go over there and see if he can meet us at my apartment later tonight. I would rather not ask him about the house with my Dad there. There would be too many questions from him and Tracy. I will see you later. I love you." Lulu told him.

Shutting Lulu's car door, Dante leaned in the window, "I love you too."

"Dad is Lucky here with you?" Lulu asked as she came into the office of the Haunted Star. The next thing Lulu knew the door was being slammed shut behind her. Lulu turned around to see two armed men and Ethan lying on the floor behind the door.

Well, well, well if it isn't Lulu Spencer, one of the men said.

"Who are you and what have you done to my brother?" Lulu asked.

"This is just too perfect; the one person that can bring down both Luke Spencer and Sonny Corinthos in one swoop." "I wasn't expecting this. It's even better than I planned.

"You leave her alone you son of a bitch." Luke yelled. "She has nothing to do with this, she can't help you."

Turning to see her Dad, Lulu realized he was tied to the chair behind the desk.

"Ah but she can. Get the girl, the man told the other guy with him. . Your daughter, involved with Sonny Corinthos's son. I will be in touch, the man told Luke as his accomplice struggled with Lulu out the door.
