Chapter 14:

Lilly wasn't enjoying the first few weeks of pregnancy, the morning sickness seemed to be getting even more intense and wasn't confining itself to just the mornings.

Several times she had to excuse herself from an interview, and rush into the bathroom. Scotty was trying to be supportive; he hated watching her feeling so unwell. Her mood seemed to be changing as well one minute she was happy, the next minute she saw picking a fight with him. One minute she didn't want him to touch her, the next minute she was all over him. Scotty tried his best to roll with it and had started to notice when her fuse was getting short and he could usually stop her from gettin to upset.

Beside all the changes to her body, Lilly was also making other changes. Dr Colburn said that light exercise was fine and she'd taken to going for short runs with Scotty on the weekends. She'd also cleaned out the fridge of anything slightly unhealthy and Rosa was showing her how to cook some dishes. Scotty wouldn't have minded so much about Lilly eating healthier but she was now insisting that he eat better too. So gone where the pizzas and burgers, gone were the cheese steaks with cheese whizz. By the end of the second week on what Scotty called rabbit food he was seriously jonsin of a heart attack special from Genos', it was going to be a long nine months.

Lilly was trying to act like absolutely nothing was different with work but Scotty wasn't making it any easier. He was watching her like a hawk, every hiccup, every sneeze he was by her side asking if she was okay, it was driving her nuts. Several times already she has snapped at him, Stillman had to have a talk with them when one of their arguments got out of hand on day.

It wasn't any better when she was at home, Scotty's mother would call her at least once a day to check how she was going or would stop by every Saturday while Scotty was out to see if she could help out. Lilly knew she meant well but she was starting to feel like she was an invalid.

Scotty wouldn't let her lift a finger, made her sit on the couch while he brought her breakfast, lunch and dinner. Offered to massage her feet (which she was actually not complaining about) and spend hours talking to her stomach (even thought Lilly kept reminding him that it couldn't hear yet).

Monday they arrived at work and Stillman told them that they had a new case. Lilly asked Scotty to get her something to drink so he went into the breakroom. Scotty came back fifteen minutes later from the breakroom with a cup of coffee for himself and with Lil's tea. He looked around the room in confusion as he tried to find where she was not at her desk. He frowned slightly as he put her tea on the desk, trying to see if there was anything to indicate where his wife had gone. Vera walked over to his desk and nodded to Scotty "Hey man, how's the diet goin'?"

"Very funny man" Scotty replied "Have you seen Lil?"

Vera deposited his jacket on the back of the chair "I think she went down to evidence storage with Kat to retrieve the boxes" Vera replied as he looked at the message slips on his desk.

"She what?" Scotty asked and he practically ran over to the stairs.

Just as he was about to race down when Lilly came back up them, an archive box in her hands.

"What do you think your doin'?" he asked trying not to get angry.

"Bringing up an evidence box" Lilly replied holding it up for him to see.

"No, I mean why are you carrying boxes in your condition?" he asked trying to take it off her.

"I'm pregnant Scotty not dying" she said finding he was blocking her path as she attempted walk over to her desk. He started to walk backwards still trying to take the box out of her hands

"Dr Colburn said you shouldn't be liftin' anythin' heavy" Scotty reminded her.

Lilly stopped and sighed "Its fine Scotty, this is light" She said, showing him that she could manage it. He refused to let her walk past so she relented and finally gave him the box for him to carry, trying not to roll her eyes at the look of victory on his face.

"So if I am not allowed to lift anything, does that mean you have to the laundry?" she asked as they got back to their desk.

Scotty chuckled and shook his head "Nah, you can still do that" Lilly slapped his arm.

They had dinner that night over at Allie and Mike's, Mike said they had something important to tell them. When Lilly and Scotty arrived, Rosa and Ramiro were already there. "Do you know what this is about?" Lilly asked.

"No idea, Mike just said that they had news"

Scotty and Lilly walked up the path to their front door and knocked, Scotty chuckled as he heard excited screams from inside and the door flung open. "Aunty Lil" Emilio cried happily and he ran over and gave her a hug. "Hi Aunty Lil"

"Hi Emilio" Lilly replied and she pressed a kiss to the top of his head.

"Hey where's my hug?" Scotty asked as Emilio turned to go back inside

"Hi" Emilio waved cheekily

Scotty growled teasingly and scooped Emilio up into his arms, causing him to giggle as the moved back down the hallway to the living room. Lilly smiled, realizing that Scotty was going to make an amazing father.

Allie and Mike gathered everyone around the dining room table saying that he had an announcement to make.

Mike cleared his throat "Allie and I got some good news today" he said cheerily "We found out that Allie is pregnant"

Everyone cheered in excitement and all went to congratulate them. Allie pulled Lilly into a hug.

"I am really happy for you Allie" Lilly said happily.

"Thanks Lil, hey we can go baby shopping together now"

Lilly chuckled "Sounds great" she said "This is gonna be fun"
