"So Dr. Delgado, what brings you in here to talk to me?" Lu stares at her new therapist and quietly answers "Everything." "I was raped about a month ago, I have a 15 year old son and I'm a single mom, and just recently an old boyfriend of mine was killed." "Wow that is a huge load on your shoulders." Lu's therapist Jamie answers. The session continues and Lu leaves and goes back to her clinic. She hates talking to people in that way, it just seems so personal, but this time she didn't feel scared or nervous, it felt good to get it all out in the open. She is really grateful for Peter, who finally talked some sense into her, in fact he was the one who found Jamie, and set up the appointment. He just told Lu where to go and when to go. She had fought him at first, but deep down she knew she was in over her head. Jamie had helped her realize that asking for help wasn't a sign of weakness; it was a sign of acceptance.

"Hey Lu, how are you?" "I'm fine Lana, just fine." "That's good cause there is someone who isn't fine in your office." "Really who?" "Jack's wife, sweetie, she would like to talk to you." "I can't Lana, I've got patients and a lot of charts to catch up on, and she'll have to leave." "Honey, I don't believe you for two seconds, I am your secretary, and I know that you don't have any patients for about an hour and a half until Dana's appointment at 2:45. So please just talk to this poor woman, please do this for Jack and for her." "Ok fine, what's her name?" "Sarah." "Alright we will be talking in my office if you need me for any reason." "Ok good luck." "Thanks Lana."

Lu sighs and opens the door to her office. Sarah rises from her chair, and shakes Lu's hand. "Hi, you must be Lu, I'm Sarah." "I know sweetie, sit down." "I just wanted to thank you for all that you did for Jack in the E.R, and you don't have to worry I know you two were involved before we got married." "I'm so sorry Sarah, Jack was a great caring man, and I knew he would make an awesome father one day." As of right on cue the little baby in the carrier next to Sarah starts to cry. "Ohhh Trevor, shh don't worry Mommy's here, shhh I'm here." "He's just beautiful, how old is he?" "Just three months yesterday." "Well Sarah, if there is anything I can do for you, or for your little Trevor just let me know." "I will Lu, I just wanted to meet you, cause you were the last one who who who.." Sarah starts getting all teary eyed, and can't complete her sentence. "I know honey, I know. Before Jack lost consciousness, he did tell me to "take care of them" he kept saying it over and over again. I didn't know what it was that he meant until I found out he had a family. If it is any consolation, he was worried about you and Trevor, and I know you guys meant a lot to him." "I know this, I just don't know what to do, and I can't do this alone." "Sure you can, I know you can, I'll help you in any way possible Sarah, I'll do it for Jack." "Thanks Lu, do you think maybe I could call you sometime and we could talk, I would really love to hear about when you and Jack went out." "You had better call me." Lu gets up and hugs Sarah. She tenderly peeks at the now sleeping Trevor in the carrier, whispering: "bye bye Trevor, nice to meet you." She walks them both out of the clinic.

"Lana, what time is Dana's appointment again?" "2:45." "And what time is it now?" "2:00, Lu are you ok?" "Yeah I'm just tired." Lana obviously not believing her motions for her to sit. "Right what part of that am I supposed to believe?" "Lana, not now I just talked about all of this crap with my new therapist, and I'm just not ready to dig it all up again." "Well at least you're talking to someone, I'll be right here if you need me." "Thanks, but I won't."

45 MINUTES LATER…..

Lu traipses herself out of her "hole" and calls her next patient. "Dana Stowe," Lu calls out to the waiting room with a huge smile on her face. Dana walks out of her office, "Very funny Lu." "Where's the horn toad," Lu asks Dana. "NICHOLAS is still working, he should be here momentarily." "Do you want to wait for him, or start without him?" "Let's just GET this OVER with." "Oh c'mon this will be fun Dana." "Yeah for you." "Alright that's enough follow me." Lu leads Dana to exam three, and Dana sits on the exam table. Lu proceeds on asking Dana questions about how she is feeling, how things are progressing, and other questions about her pregnancy. "Ok Dana, now I'm going to do an ultrasound." Just then Nick comes through the door. "Hi hon." "I'm glad you could get away." They kiss each other and Nick grabs a seat next to Dana. "Well, loverboy, you are just in time." Lu places the jelly on Dana's stomach and moves the ultrasound across it. Suddenly the sound of the baby's heartbeat fills the air. "There's your baby." "What do you say docs, look about nine weeks to you?" "Uh huh," Nick and Dana not paying any attention to Lu are fascinated with the sight on the screen, their little tiny creation. A tear falls off of Nick's cheek and he kisses Dana again. Lu continues with her patient, "So I'm guestimating you can expect your little Biancavilla at about or around December 14th. Just in time for the Holidays." "Thanks Lu." Nick gets up off his chair, winks at Dana and leaves. "Yeah thanks Lu." Dana wipes the jelly off of her stomach, and sits up. "Ok Dana, I'll need to see you in about a month or so, ok? Lana my receptionist will set you up." "You're hilarious Lu." "I know Dana, I just can't help myself this is too much fun." "Like I said before, for you!" "Well, be sure to get lots of rest, eat lots of fiber and folic acid, and drink plenty of water." "Thank you doctor, I think I know what to do. I'm going back to work." Dana smiles and laughs at Lu and goes back to her office. Lu laughs out loud, and shouts back to Dana "Glad I could help you."

"Lu, Lu, they need you in emergency." "Oh Lana, I swear it never ends." "Well sweetie, aren't you glad they ask you for help, instead of someone else?" "Yeah Lana, it's nice to be needed." And with that Lu hurries to the elevator, and the episode ends.



Ok so the episode doesn't really end but I wanted it to be like a REAL episode, and not a story. Tell me if you like it or not, I had to end it sometime. But I would love to write something else, if I have the time too. I love SM, and fanfiction is really cool!
