Chapter 6
It was a little over a year later. It had taken two
tries at the procedure before Amy had become pregnant. The doctors had told her
to expect twins. Luke and Laura were thrilled.
In the week following her due date, Luke had become a pain in Amy's butt. He
called her every half an hour to see if she was in labor yet. Amy had turned to
Laura for help.
"Make him stop," she pleaded to Laura on the phone. "He is driving
me insane."
"Yes, Luke will do that to you, "Laura said with a laugh.
"Was he like this when Lucky and Lulu was born?"
"Well, Lulu was early so he didn't have the chance. But yes, with Lucky he
behaved just like this."
"How did you get him to stop?"
"I gave birth," Laura said teasing her.
"Oh thanks a lot Laura," Amy said hanging up.
Laura hung up the phone as Luke came in. He kissed her and headed for the
phone.
"Who are you calling?" Laura asked.
"Amy."
"Luke, leave her alone. I just got off the phone with her. She's
fine."
"Nothing yet?"
Laura shook her head.
Lesley came out of the kitchen with Lulu. "We're going out for a while.
Your dinner is on the table," she said winking at Laura.
"Thanks Mom," Laura said. She and Luke walked to the table.
"What's all this?" Luke asked as he saw the table.
"I thought we could use a night alone, so I asked Mom to take Lulu out.
She also fixed this candlelight dinner for us."
"All right Lesley," he said.
They sat down at the table. Luke leaned over towards her. "Laura?" he
said.
When she looked up he kissed her. "What was that for?" she asked.
"For being beautiful, for being mine," he said.
She smiled at him and they kissed again. Luke slid his chair closer to her.
They ate in silence never taking their eyes off each other.
When they finished eating, Luke leaned over to kiss her again. "Let go
upstairs, he whispered into her ear.
She laughed as she took his hand and followed him to the bedroom.
