By the time that Lilly had found her wedding dress she felt her heart pound even more. There were butterflies whizzing around inside of her stomach. It was nervousness that she had never felt like before. Getting married in a few months sent Lilly into a panic attack as her breathing accreted at a faster rate.
Now pacing around many thoughts shot right into her mind about this whole thing. Lilly needed to sort them all out before the big day "I do really want to get married, what if it ends in divorce and still have to face Scotty at work. I don't know what to do" she thought while feeling each rapid beat of her own heart.
Lilly let out a breath calming herself down she wanted to marry Scotty. To her being married was the next step to their already steady relationship. Now pulling herself today she glanced over at herself seeing the panicked and scared woman she now was. It was just nervousness of getting married and taking on a new role: being a wife.
Now walking home Lilly looked around but wished her mother was there to see her getting married. Then it brought her back to another memory of when she wanted her there for marriage number four. One thing Lilly knew was that look displayed on her face knowing how proud she was of her. While tracing the words: Ellen Rush with her fingers wanting to see her face again" I miss you Mom" Lilly mouthed.
Now looking up into the blue sky, she breathed again coming to her own closure of her mother. This was something that needed to be release knowing there was nothing else to do that could bring her back.
Walking away Ellen Rush stood there before whispering" Lilly" before disappearing back into the sunshine but kept on watching how strong her daughter until she could no longer see that. Upon meeting up with Scotty the two kissed" Find that dress yet".
"You're still waiting for that night" raising up her eyebrows before he leaned over for another one" Hey somethin happen". He then lifted Lilly's chin peering into her sapphire eyes" I'm scared too" reading right into her own thoughts.
"We'll make it Lil" taking her hand" You're the only person I'd spend my life with".
Lilly felt relieved knowing he was feeling the same way but still wondered about hearing her mother's voice calling out her name. Was this a sign or did she want to hear that voice in order to regain comfort for just a little while? During work Lilly kept on looking at her fiancé knowing for all the right reasons she felt lucky to be marrying him.
Then Vera came in breathing harder before showing everyone a sonogram picture of his unborn child. Kat rolled his eyes "Looks more like a blob".
"Don't talk about my kid" he said "That's my baby" getting sentimental. Scotty turned around "You do have a way with the nurses".
A smile appeared on Lilly's face as she looked down at her diamond engagement ring. With her wedding day approaching in a couple of months, but still wondered where Scotty was planning their honeymoon. He had kept it a secret even hiding the information so that she didn't know. Inside Lilly was dying to find out but after work went shopping for that.
Now shopping for both warm and cold locations, Lilly was confused on what to wear. Scotty's lips were sealed about their honeymoon. Sure it was surprise after he had changed where they were going, now adding several pieces of lingerie one being for their wedding night. By the time Lilly came in with six bags of clothing the look on his face was priceless.
"What's that for" Scotty asked. Lilly grinned" Don't look in that bag".
He had a seductive look on his face" Wedding night" raising both eyebrows. She loved how sexy his coffee eyes had looked which he snapped into the mood. Now touching his well toned arms Scotty pulled her down kissing her" Tonight I'm givin you something".
With a playful emotion displayed on her face Lilly moved closer" How about I give you something" before straddling him. He breathed out before undoing her pants seeing the black lacy thong she had been wearing" You wore that today".
She then unbuttoned her shirt displaying a black lacy bra "I think we'll continue this later" before zipping up her pants. Now with that exposed Lilly turned back before heading upstairs, while locking the door behind. After putting the bag containing that outfit deep inside of her closer she changed into a tank top along with a pair of Capri pants.
Coming back downstairs Scotty was in the kitchen cooking as Lilly sat up on the counter" Smells good".
"Kind of liking us gettin married".
A smile crept onto her face as Lilly tasted a bit of what was in the pot" Spicy, what is that"? Sure enough after dinner she had heartburn from that spicy meal. Now lying in bed she relaxed by watching: Survivor since it was now airing. Now feeling a kiss on her lips Lilly looked up" Poker night" as Scotty kissed her once more" Win somethin for our honeymoon".
"Tell me please" wanting to know badly" Warm or Cold"
Scotty then fluffed her pillows as she lay back" See you later beautiful" before she answered in Spanish making him knowing his influence was rubbing off on her. While at the game Jefferies handed him a cigar" Still can't believe you're marrying Lil".
"She's the one Will, I know it. Lil is an amazing woman" Scotty admitted thinking about his bride to be. Just about every night he looks over just to make sure that she was still breathing. The worry of her dying would always be there ever since her shooting. He realized how important she was after riding in that car with John Smith.
Lilly kept him tethered to this world, knowing each day Scotty got to see the woman he loved, respected and cherished so much. Mistakes had been made but not matter what he wasn't about to losing the one good thing in his life. He too had to deal with his own set of demons ones that were so powerful Scotty had to remain strong and try to overcome them. While playing poker he thought more about Lilly seeing the good qualities about her.
The truth was no one else saw them but him, to him there was more than just a beautiful blonde named Lilly. She was smart, energetic, caring, and sympathetic, devoted to her job, and had a wonderful fun side to boot. Scotty knew there was a whole other side of her that needed to be opened up than rather it sits there buried alone in darkness.
At home Lilly knew she was changing not due to Scotty but for herself. Being alone her never knew what this world had to offer especially a chance on becoming a wife. That trip to Miami Beach proved how life was full of excitement but she had to live in the moment in order to enjoy it. Snuggling against the blanket while her heartburn began to decrease before allowing her to sleep; but Lilly Rush was immerse in a deep slumber.
By the time Scotty came home he got into bed before wrapping his arms around her like he had done every night. It was his way of letting her know just how protected she was. Sometime in the middle of the night he threw up as she heard him doing this all night.
"How much did you drink" Lilly said softly.
Scotty threw up again" One bottle, must have been my cookin" before he leaned forward. Lilly then cleaned him up before helping him back to bed. Now blotting his forehead she placed her fingers on the side of his neck" Breathe in "she instructed.
He did exactly as he was told before Lilly gently rubbed his stomach" It was just one dinner, still can cook for me" before getting up to be sick again. Scotty never felt worse in his entire life before feeling extremely dizzy. By the time morning had arrived he felt a thermometer being placed into his mouth. Lilly felt fine but worried about him.
When it had buzzed she looked at it" Got a fever Scotty, must be that stomach virus going around".
He tried to get up before Lilly stopped him" You're staying home today, can't risk you getting anyone else sick". Scotty knew she was right but knew his own body didn't feel right" I'm achy" he moaned. Lilly gently rubbed his cheek lovingly" I'll come back during lunch I promise".
He pulled her closer" Love you always".
"Rest Scotty" before blowing him a kiss. After hearing the front door close Scotty let out a breath before moaning out from being so achy. Sure enough Lilly returned as promised before saw how worse he looked before calling Stillman. Now heading back into the bedroom she sat down" I'm taking you to the doctors" while hearing him breathe a certain way.
With him wrapped up in a blanket Scotty shivered during the car ride, with his head pounding over and over again" Make it stop" he murmured. Lilly touched his hand" Almost there, Hey" letting him know it was going to be fine. Somehow she learned Men turned into babies when they got sick, sure enough Scotty was acting like one.
As the doctor examined him, Lilly was calm and collected but worried about Scotty. She had never seen him that sick before until discovering it was a bad cause of the flu. After taking him home, Lilly began nursing him back to health but it wasn't easy. Scotty was literally a pain in the ass but was already used of that.
