I've got so many things to say. 1) sorry this took so long, between new anti-depressants making it impossible to write sex scenes as well as my computer crashing, this whole chapter took a lot of time. 2) I've still got many things planned for this story but if you have any suggestions please let me know, I would be happy to incorporate it in! 3) And as always, thanks a bunch for the review! 3
—The Ménage-À-Trois—
Andy could feel Milo's hands drop down her arms, clasping her hand and pulling her up the stairs behind him. She half-turned around, looking at Lu who was smiling. She could feel butterflies in her stomach and had a pretty damn good idea of what was about to go down—something that she didn't expect would ever happen. She had hoped that Milo and Lu would try to get along but she didn't think it would lead to anything like this.
She could hear her bedroom door close behind her and turned back to Lu—somewhat nervously. She was standing between Lu and Milo and was waiting for one of them to take the lead, as they were so keen to do, but it took a second.
Milo locked eyes with Lu, checking to see if she was still on board with this. Their dinner had been friendly enough, and they hadn't even talked about their relationships with Andy all that much which was a surprise to both of them. He wasn't sure which one of them had brought up their talk during seven-minutes-in-heaven at Bob's cabin and how Lu had suggested a threesome back then, but that memory certainly got them talking.
They hadn't exactly gone in depth with their plan, only briefly talking about what they each wanted out of it and what was strictly off limits, this with their fingers crossed that they knew Andy well enough to fill in those answers for her. He had his arm around Andy's waist, holding her close to him. He leaned in and kissed her softly, pulling away after a second to find Lu with a small smile still on her face, which was the most he would've hoped for. With a nod from Lu he reached for the hem of Andy's sweater, pulling it over her head and tossing it to the side.
He kissed down to her collarbones, only coming up after a second to look at her. ''Are you okay with this?'' He asked, not wanting to be presumptuous. He knew that she was into both of them, but she hadn't expressed interest in wanting to be with both of them at the same time.
Andy licked her lips before nodding. She wasn't exactly sure what 'this' entailed but so far it seemed to be heading in a pretty good direction. She could only imagine how much they had discussed what was about to go down, and even though part of her wished she had been there, right now she was just eager to find out what they wanted to do.
Andy could feel Milo's hands on her through her thin tank top, turning her slightly towards Lu. She reached a hand out to pull Lu closer and kissed her deeply, only pulling away for a second to let Milo pull her tank top off, and she could feel Lu tugging at the strings of her sweatpants. It was only when those had come off as well that she realized both Lu and Milo were still completely dressed, and she had no doubt in her mind that that was completely intentional.
She could feel Lu's slightly cold hands on her warm skin, touching around her stomach and waist—Milo's lips were on the back of her neck and she could feel his hands moving towards her front, closer and closer to her underwear. She could feel his hand slide in, part her lips and touch her, and she moaned into Lu's mouth. It had been too long since she had felt Milo's hands on her and she had missed it a lot, even despite having Lu around. Despite her many attempts over time the two were incomparable.
Andy wasn't sure what they expected of her, what they wanted her to do, but more importantly she had no idea what they were going to do. The part of her that craved to be in control was rearing its ugly head but she decided to ignore it. She trusted Lu and Milo enough to ignore it.
The bulge in Milo's pants pushing against her ass was distracting Andy from Lu and she pulled away from her slightly. Lu's face was a bit flushed, she had almost forgotten Milo was there and when she looked at him she immediately regretted not more thoroughly discussing what they were going to do. With them both wanting to take control she knew that Andy already expected a power struggle between them and the last thing Lu wanted to do now was make her feel uncomfortable.
As soon as Andy had pulled away from Lu she expected one of them to guide her to whatever they had decided to do, but when neither of them did she turned back to Milo. She kissed him on the lips as her hands travelled down to his belt buckle. As she undid it she could see the reaction on his face every time she 'accidentally' brushed her hand against his erection. His hand was on the back of her head, tangled in her hair, as he pulled her face to his own.
She could feel their tongues battling with each other as his belt finally came undone, she drew out unbuttoning and unzipping his pants and she smiled against his mouth when he groaned. Andy could feel Lu unclasping her bra and she let it take it off of her before sinking to the floor, coming face to face with Milo's crotch. She looked up at him and licked her lips as he watched her with hooded eyes.
It was moments like these—not that she had had them before—that Andy knew she could never give up Milo nor Lu. When it was just her and Milo together she felt such a longing for Lu, was absolutely infatuated with her and had even ended up cheating on Milo with her because of it. But now that she hadn't been with Milo in a few weeks, she had missed him. Had missed being with him, had missed tasting him and having him inside of her. Knowing that both those issues would soon be resolved only served to arouse her more.
She looked up at Milo as her hand circled around the base of his dick, her tongue darting out to push against the head. His eyes were fixed on her as he watched her breathlessly. Just like with Lu she felt a bit uncomfortable, almost insecure, by being watched, but she wouldn't let that deter her. As she took him in her mouth she could feel Lu get on her knees behind her, pressing herself up against Andy.
Lu watched Andy get to work and for a second pondered what to do next. She had no sexual interest in Milo and he didn't have any in her far as she knew, they had both agreed that it would mostly just revolve around Andy, but she wanted to find a way to still include herself in this part. Lu regretted that they hadn't gone more in depth about this; they both knew about the other that they liked to be in charge but it hadn't come up in their discussion.
Lu pushed some of Andy's hair to the side, careful not to control her head movements, and started kissing her neck. Her hand snuck around Andy's waist and down, rubbing her through her underwear. She could hear a soft moan coming from Andy and apparently the vibrations coming from that were very much welcomed by Milo. She knew without looking up that he was watching the both of them. He may not be interested in her sexually but he was very much interested in her sex life pertaining to Andy. She couldn't blame him.
Andy's hand found its way to Milo's thigh, needing something to hold onto for stability. Even though she had never come from giving a blowjob she had gotten awfully close and couldn't deny that she very much enjoyed it, to now have Lu touch her during it… It made it difficult to focus on the task at hand… and mouth. Her moans became louder, longer, faster, and just as Lu picked up on how close Andy was and sped up her movement, Andy followed suit. Her hand sped up its movements as well and she could feel Milo's hand brush against her head.
It was rare for him not to grab a handful of her hair, his silent way of telling her 'don't stop', but with how close Lu was to her now she knew right away he didn't feel comfortable doing that. She looked up at him through her eyelashes and even though it was Lu that was bringing her to orgasm, for a few seconds it was as though Lu wasn't there, like Andy and Milo were alone together. Their eyes were on each other as Milo came first, Andy swallowed his load without a second thought, never slowing down her movements and she could see in his eyes that she once again didn't disappoint.
Andy didn't stop stroking him but took her mouth off of him, a satisfying 'plop' as he left her lips. Her body relaxed against Lu's curves for a second before her back arched away from Lu, and even though she knew they didn't mind her moans she couldn't help but bite her lip and try to hold back, knowing that there were two pairs of eyes on her. It was a rather futile attempt though.
She could feel Lu's arm around her waist, holding her close to Lu's body as her other hand finally slipped inside Andy's underwear. Two fingers were inside of her as Lu's palm rubbed against her clit, and it proved to be a lethal combination. Andy remembered looking at Milo's cock with lust before her vision went black for a second, and she fell back against Lu's body as she rode Lu's hands.
As she finally came back to her body, her moans turning into whimpers as she grew almost too sensitive under Lu's touch, Milo pulled her up to her feet. She kissed him hard, glad that he wasn't grossed out by kissing her after coming in her mouth. She could feel Lu's hands on her body and pulled away from Milo, wanting to make sure she didn't forget her.
Lu kissed Andy, guiding her back towards the bed and pushing her down on it. She vaguely noticed Milo disappearing into the bathroom but didn't pay mind to it. She grabbed the hem of Andy's underwear and pulled it off of her, glad to have it finally out of the way. Andy reached out for her and she lay down on the bed, half next to Andy, half on top of her. They were kissing each other and Lu could feel Andy's hand slip between her legs, after a second Lu did the same to her hoping that she wasn't too sensitive.
Andy could feel Lu rub her clit and she pushed her legs together. Her other hand was on Lu's cheek but it wasn't long before she moved it down, stroking Lu's soft skin, feeling every curve under her hand, getting wetter as she took every inch of Lu's body in, feeling incredibly lucky to be with her.
Milo walked back into the bedroom, smiling at the sight of the two women lying next to each other on the bed—clearly both enjoying themselves and each other immensely. The time he had spent away from Andy had not only given her the opportunity to figure out what it was she wanted, it had also allowed him to spend some time getting used to the idea. Whilst he still felt possessive over Andy, he felt more comfortable sharing her with Lu now. And he had to admit that watching them together was an incredible turn-on for him.
He watched them stare into each other's eyes as they came together. After coming down from her high, Andy's eyes met Milo's. He smiled at her, giving her a nod to encourage her to keep going. More than anything he just wanted her to be happy.
He didn't know how long he stood there as he watched them continually switch positions, their hands and mouths never stopping—too eager to please one another. He could hear them speak quietly with each other from time to time, to both guide as well as love. It was continuously clear though that Lu was in charge, through the subtlest of looks they gave each other, as well as the way they touched. It was what he had known from day 1, and it was what made him the most hesitant to have her around when he was with Andy.
The more he watched them the more turned on he got, but it wasn't until Lu was going down on Andy that he decided to jump back in. He knew that Andy didn't mind him telling her what to do during sex—the opposite actually—and he hoped Lu would respond as well. She hadn't seemed too pleased about it the last time he had done that, which now seemed like a lifetime ago.
''Switch.'' It came out softer than he had intended to, but it got Lu's attention. Andy seemed too into what Lu had been doing to notice Milo at all; when with either of them it was easy to forget about the other one unless they made their presence well-known. Milo could see Lu looking back at him, one eyebrow lifted. ''Switch around,'' he said, hand gesturing at them. Lu didn't question it, but Andy looked confused, wondering why Lu was suddenly pulling away.
Lu moved up Andy's body, kissing her a few times before rolling them over, pulling Andy on top of her, hoping she'd get the message. Andy looked at Lu hungrily with dark eyes, she could feel Lu's chest against her own and moved her hand up to massage one of Lu's boobs, feeling the hard peak against her hand made her smile. She moved down a bit and could feel Milo's hands land on her hips, pulling her closer to him.
She could feel him rub against her slit with his dick and she softly pushed back against him, wanting to feel him inside of her again. He slipped the tiniest bit inside before pulling back out again and they both groaned, Andy's head leaning down on the mattress between Lu's parted legs, her hands—which were shaking just a bit—pulled Lu closer to her. She started kissing the inside of Lu's thighs, sucking on the skin, dragging it out before turning to the center.
Lu was practically dripping wet, and Andy darted her tongue inside of her, lapping up all the juices. Her mind was foggy from how Milo was teasing her, but she tried to focus on Lu. Just as her tongue finally made contact with Lu's clit she could feel Milo slipping inside of her, and almost came right there and then. She was still so close from what Lu had been doing just a minute before, and having Milo inside of her—setting a torturous tempo—had her moaning over and over again. She sucked Lu's clit inside her mouth, her moans vibrating against the sensitive knob. Her hands were clenched from trying not to be too loud, grabbing the flesh on Lu's legs and surely leaving bruises.
Milo quickly set a good pace, watching his dick disappear into Andy—thinking about how much he had missed that when he was away. His gaze eventually moved up, watching Andy's body as a link between him and Lu, whose face his eyes landed on next. Her eyebrows were scrunched up, and she was watching Andy's ministrations. Her hand was on Andy's head, but not in the way his hand was usually there. It was in a more loving manner. Showing that despite the power dynamic between them, and despite how eager they were, it was still making love that they were doing.
Milo's hands were on Andy's ass, massaging the cheeks. For a second he considered giving one a firm slap but quickly decided against it. Now was not the time for him to show how much he liked to be dominant, it was about showing Andy that he and Lu could be happy with all three of them together—even if in the future that didn't just pertain to their sex life. Plus, it wouldn't mix well with how loving Andy and Lu were being to each other. Despite Andy loving it when he spanked her, he wanted it to be a completely loving and positive experience. No mixing pain with pleasure.
Milo's gaze moved up Andy's body. Her hand dropped to the bed and gripped the sheet tightly, her back was arching into the bed, her mind going blank. She pulled away from Lu a bit and her moans quickly turned to whimpers as Milo never even slowed down.
When she looked up at Lu she could see that she was looking up at Milo with a smile, happy that so far this experiment was working out. Eventually Lu's gaze fell back to Andy who was staring back at her with a jaw slightly slacked, trying to catch her breath. Her pupils were large, her face flushed and slightly sweaty. Lu reached out a hand and wiped a few strands of hair away from Andy's face before guiding her back to Lu's centre.
She never quite came down from her first orgasm, immediately on the cusp of the next one. She tried to find the right rhythm for Lu and could immediately tell when she found the right one, Lu's back arching up and her hold on Andy's hair strengthening. A few curses came from Lu and Andy smiled against her centre, it was the last thing she heard before Lu's thighs squeezing against her head—as the sensations almost became too much—cut off her hearing.
Feeling Milo's seed spill into her made Andy become undone again. Her moans made her lips vibrate against Lu's clit, pushing her over the edge as well. It was as if fireworks were going off in her head, her whole body shaking. She tried to remain focused, to stay on the task at hand and let Lu ride her whole orgasm out but it became harder by the second.
She didn't know how long it was before Milo withdrew from her, before Lu's hold on Andy with her legs lessened and she could actually pull away. Andy felt tired and when she looked at the alarm clock she realized they had been at it for at least two hours now. She could feel Milo pull her up the bed with him to lie down, and it wasn't long before she was nestled comfortably between Milo and Lu.
''It's never going to happen, is it?'' Lu asked as she watched Andy get up from her desk chair. She could see a confused look cross Andy's face, ''us. Nothing's going to happen between us.''
Andy hesitated. She considered Lu one of her closest friends and she didn't want to put that in jeopardy, but she had to be honest. ''Lu, you're one of the best friends I've ever had, and I love spending time with you, I like… being intimate with you, but it's never going to be more than what it has been these past few months. I just don't feel that way about you.''
Lu knew Andy was lying to her as well as herself—probably to the point where she believed her own lies—, but was tired of questioning it. She nodded slowly, trying to accept it. ''Okay,'' she said, ''guess you made your choice.''
Andy looked down, ''now you have to make a choice,'' she said. On Lu's face she could see that she didn't quite follow, ''either we go back to the way it was before and pretend that none of it ever happened, or we go on the way we have been for a while now and have that be all it'll ever be.'' She looked back and forth between Lu's eyes and knew that even though the knowledge that Lu wanted more would always be hanging over her head, she couldn't be more than this to her right now. That didn't mean that she wanted to give up what they had though, she enjoyed it far too much for that.
Lu was hoping for a third option but knew there wasn't one. She also knew that it didn't matter which option she chose, sooner or later Andy would find her way back into Lu's arms—she always did. And just like she had said, she'd be there like an idiot waiting for her.
Lu watched on from the doorway to the bathroom, ''you're insatiable,'' she said, surprised to see Andy… enjoying herself in the bathtub not even an hour after they had had a threesome with Milo.
Andy opened her eyes with a blush, ''I got bored,'' she said, motioning for Lu to come closer. It was rare that she had the time or energy to draw herself a bath, but after Milo had gotten paged back to the hospital and Lu had dozed off, it was as good a time as any. As she had sank down in the warm water it wasn't long before the memories from their threesome came back to her, her hand travelling down south hadn't been a conscious decision.
Lu sat down on the edge of the tub, ''so what'd you think of tonight?'' She asked. She had heard the version Andy had told when Milo was there and was curious to see if it would change now that they were alone together. ''You sounded like you had a good time.''
''I did,'' Andy said, ''I didn't expect it though. Didn't expect you two to go out for dinner, let alone everything else. I'm glad that you two are getting along, even if it was a bit weird to be with both of you at the same time.''
''We figured it was something we should try sometimes,'' Lu said, ''plus Milo mentioned about you having a threesome with Nick and Peter and brought up how I jokingly mentioned we should have one like a year ago, and there's no better time than the present… his words, not mine.'' She looked at Andy, ''we just felt that if this is going to work we need to find a way to share you, instead of you going back and forth between us with both of us trying to control your sex life.''
''He agreed to that?'' Andy asked, somewhat surprised. She could never see Milo stop being the dominant one when they had sex with each other, and she could only imagine his reluctance when it came to being hands off about her sexual relationship with Lu. He had been there with them—literally—since day 1, it almost felt natural to have him exert some of his own will onto them.
''He did, and if I want to make you come neither of us needs his permission for that,'' Lu said, in slight disbelief that it needed to be said. She hesitated to continue, ''do you ever worry that he might be too controlling?'' She asked Andy, looking away from her, sure that Andy wouldn't take kindly to the almost accusation coming from Lu.
''What do you mean?'' Andy asked, not sure what Lu was trying to get at. She could feel herself start getting defensive but suppressed that natural instinct. If she and Lu were going to make this work then it was important that they could communicate about everything, and say things even if the other person might not like it.
''He almost coaxed us into having sex with each other,'' Lu said, no doubt in her mind that Milo had told Andy his fantasies to plant the idea of her and Lu together in her mind. ''The second time we were together he literally stood there and told us what to do, I walked in on him spanking you with his belt-''
''I'm not complaining about that, trust me,'' Andy said, putting her hand on Lu's arms.
''Your sexual perversions aside,'' Lu said, ignoring the chuckle that elicited from Andy, ''our first time together I felt like he was constantly daring me to continue, to push the limits further.'' She could see that Andy wasn't totally getting the point. ''I'm just worried that him pushing past boundaries might eventually hurt you,'' she said, ''I mean, today it's just telling us to switch positions, but who knows what might come next.''
''He doesn't force me to do anything I'm uncomfortable with,'' Andy said. Her body was tense and she couldn't believe Lu had been carrying this around with her. ''I like it when he takes control, when he wants to try new things, and I wanted him to spank me,'' she rubbed Lu's arm softly, trying to comfort her. ''He's only this controlling when we're in bed together, and even then he still listens to me. We have a safe word, I've only used it once and he listened immediately. I know that it might look strange from the outside—as does you and me being together—but he respects my boundaries and I feel safe with him. He has never hurt me in a way I didn't want to be hurt.''
Lu nodded slowly, ''if you say so,'' she said. She was only concerned about Andy's well-being. She could see Andy mulling things over in her head but decided it was time to change the subject. Lu dragged her hand through the water, splashing some against Andy in a playful manner, ''I should've gotten a place with a tub,'' she said, mostly to herself. She had rushed to find a place after leaving Jonas, hadn't though too much about what her new apartment offered. A cramped bathroom with a leaky showerhead, that's what it offered.
Andy could see the steam droplets that had settled on Lu's skin, soaking her pajama top. ''You can take a bath here sometimes, you're always welcome here,'' she said, not realizing until the second after the sentence had left her mouth just how much she meant it. She liked having Lu near. Andy grabbed the back of Lu's shirts, pulling her in the tub with her, water spilling over the edge of the tub onto the white tiles beneath.
Lu shrieked Andy's name, ''oh my God,'' she added quietly as she looked down at her soaked clothing, her legs still dangling over the edge. She looked at Andy, too surprised to form words. The smile on Andy's face was contagious though and Lu couldn't help but return it. After a second she relaxed, putting her arms around Andy and snuggling close to her in the hot water. She already knew getting out of the tub would be a drag, but for now she just wanted to forget about everything else for a second and just focus on Andy's skin against her own.
''About Milo,'' Andy said, not quite finished with that subject just yet. She could hear Lu groan but decided to ignore it. ''Even though he and I are together, it doesn't mean that he has anything to do with what happens between us. If you don't want him to be a part of our sex life then he doesn't have to be. What we did today doesn't have to happen again, he doesn't have to ever be around when we have sex.'' She didn't see what Lu saw between her and Milo, but she knew Lu wouldn't bring it up unless she felt really serious about it.
Lu shook her head, ''it's not that I feel unsafe around him or anything, and I really enjoyed what we did today… I just want you to make sure that you're safe, I needed to hear about the safe word and all that,'' she said. There was a moment of silence between them, ''let's just see how it goes, we don't have to decide right now what role he's going to play.'' She relaxed back into Andy's embrace.
Andy looked at Lu and felt as if he heart was growing 10 sizes, ''why did I fight this for so long?'' She asked quietly. She could feel Lu start to pull away so she could look at her, but Andy held her close. ''I knew I had feelings for you, and no matter how many times I lied you saw right through it… why didn't I just accept it? We wouldn't have had to wait so long to do this.''
''I'm just glad you finally came to your senses,'' Lu said. Andy was one of the most sensible people she knew, but when it came to love she had a lot to learn. She could feel Andy put her head on her shoulder and rested her head against hers, softly scratching Andy's back as they lay there together.
''Hi,'' Andy said quietly as she walked up next to Nick. He was standing at the tall desk in the ER going over patient charts and it was the first time in weeks that she'd been able to be somewhat alone with him. There were patients in several bays but everyone was too busy minding their own business to bother them. He shot her a quick glance before looking away, ''are you going to be mad at me forever?''
Nick had been able to somewhat let it go, and he wasn't an idiot, he knew that he and Andy co-parenting a child would've never worked. But still, to abort it without even mentioning it to him… ''You killed our-''
''Our clump of cells?'' Andy asked, interrupting him, knowing that she wasn't doing the whole thing justice. She knew that it had been wrong not to consult him at all, but even if she had the end result would've been the same; he wouldn't have been able to change her mind. The moment the two lines had showed up clear as day her decision had been made.
''That 'clump of cells' had a heartbeat,'' Nick said. That is what pissed him off the most, how callous she was about the whole thing. He knew she could be selfish at times—even if she had good intentions—but she had been selfless during their whole relationship and he had hoped for the same courtesy afterwards.
''I know,'' Andy said, ''believe me, I know.'' The heartbeat, and later the lack of one, had replayed in her mind a thousand times now. ''And I'm sorry I didn't tell you, you deserve more than that, but I genuinely thought telling you would only hurt you more,'' even if he wasn't ready to listen—and she was pretty sure he wasn't—it was the truth and she was sticking with it.
Nick looked back at her, ''I do deserve more than that,'' he concurred. They looked at each other in silence for a few moments before he sighed, ''I get that our relationship wasn't anything significant, and that us becoming parents together would not have worked, but I expected more from you. I had hoped that you wouldn't just cut me out the moment someone else came along.''
Andy looked back on the times she talked with Nick while they were sleeping together, how close to him she had felt and how much she had confided in him, versus how many times she had bothered to spend time with him since then. She had dropped him like a hot brick—emphasis on the hot. ''I'm sorry,'' she said, ''and in case it matters, it wasn't insignificant for me.'' She bit her lip, ''the night we conceived our… little clump was the first—and only—time you told me you loved me, even if you didn't mean it.''
''I think it was because the condom broke, not because of the 'I love you'—our relationship was more about the lack of love,'' he reminded her, thinking back to that night and a sly smile formed on his face. ''I mean, I told you I loved you and your reply was, and I quote: ''I love your-''
Andy shushed him with an embarrassed chuckle as a blush crept across her face, ignoring the grin on his face as he enjoyed teasing her. Him not only reminding her of her choice of words but also doing a terrible impression of her voice and throwing in some soft moans as well as imitate what she could only guess was the face she made when she came, it was rather inappropriate in an ER where two bays over someone was literally dying. ''Trust me, you don't have to remind me,'' she said as memories of how he had felt inside of her came flooding back to her. ''But it's not just that; you made me come to grips with who I really am, made me realize that I do have feelings for Lu.''
Nick smiled. ''Glad to be of service,'' he said, ''so what's going on between you two now? Is it appropriate again to refer to you two as lesbian lovers?'' There was a small grin on his face, thinking back to the first time he had ever used that nickname around Andy. He remembered how embarrassed she was, which was the exact moment he realized just how deep her feelings for Lu really were.
''That never was and never will be appropriate,'' Andy said surprisingly sternly. She took a deep breath, ''but yes, we are… involved, with each other.'' They had told Marc as well as her daughters but weren't quite open about their relationship just yet. Not only because it was in many ways still in the early stages, but also because they didn't know what the social and professional consequences of their relationship would be. Nick, however, had been a cheerleader for their relationship long before it took actual shape, and Andy had no doubt in her mind that soon it would be an open secret among their small circle of friends.
A frown crossed Nick's face. ''Are you and Morton no longer…?'' He asked, sure that he would've hurt something about that if that were the case. Also, he couldn't imagine Andy breaking up with Milo after he had broken up his marriage for her, even if Nick was sure that she was madly in love with a certain partner of hers.
''Milo and I are still very much together,'' Andy assured him, ''as are Lu and I.'' She knew she didn't have to say anything else, he was old and experienced enough to fill in the blanks she was sure.
''You're having your cake and eating it too, huh?'' Nick asked, a small smile on his face as he thought about how lucky Milo was. He had never made it a secret to Andy that he was more than a little interested in what her and Lu's sexual endeavors entailed, and this only added fuel to that particular fire. ''You dog,'' he said and he could see Andy blush. Nick put his hand on her shoulder, ''I'm happy for you,'' he said. No matter how hurt he was by her recent actions, this was genuine, and he was glad she had told him about it. He could see a gurney being brought into the ER, and with just another nod he walked off.
Andy followed him with her eyes as he switched back into doctor mode. She was happy that she had told him, and that it seemed like one day he might forgive her for aborting their little clump with a heartbeat.
Andy had finally been able to break away from delivering the first baby of the New Year and made her way to the hospital's rooftop. From there you could see the firework show in the distance, and she and Milo had agreed to meet up there as early as they possibly could. As she walked out the door she could already see him standing there in the snow and a smile crossed her face. It was softly snowing and with winter being her favorite time of year she couldn't think of anything better to walk into.
She needed to remember to find Lu later to wish her a happy new year and to toast champagne to the first babies of the year born, as had become somewhat of a tradition between them. She snuck up behind Milo, linking arms with him before giving him a peck on the lips. They both looked back at the firework in the distance. ''Happy new year,'' she said, and after hearing him say it back she cocked her head, ''any new year's resolutions?'' She asked, knowing he didn't believe in that.
''Spend more time with you,'' he said, knowing that the fact that he had an answer surprised her. ''Maybe have a baby…?'' He added, pulling a snowflake out of her hair.
Andy pulled away a bit, ''we talked about this. I'm not sure it's even an option, we would have to-''
Milo put his finger to her lips, needing to get back on track before his nerves got the best of him. ''I said 'maybe have a baby', the emphasis on 'maybe','' he swallowed hard. ''I feel like a lot of aspects of our future are uncertain right now, not just whether or not to have kids but also what adding Lu to our relationship will look like…'' he could see the confusion on Andy's face and pulled away. He turned so he stood in front of her, taking her hands into his own.
''I know that we haven't been back together all that long, and that we have a lot to figure out, but I know without a doubt in my mind that whatever the future holds, I want to find out with you,'' he said, getting down on one knee. He could hear a small gasp come from Andy and he looked up into her eyes, finding a mix of disbelief and small tears. ''I left the ring at home because I didn't plan on doing this right now, but if our relationship has taught me one thing it's that no matter how much you plan, things can always take a different turn.
''And so, right now, there's no one I'd rather be with, nowhere I'd rather be,'' he thought back to how he had almost moved to Seattle, something that seemed a lifetime ago, ''then be right here with you. I want every moment to be this moment; I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Andy Campbell, will you marry me?''
It took a second for Andy to open her mouth, left speechless by Milo words. Just as her mind seemed to process what had just happened and she opened her mouth to say 'yes', the door to the rooftop opened and she turned around to find Lu standing there with a shocked look on her face.
