Preparations.
Disclaimer: I do not own them.
Lu and Peter sat at silently during dinner, Lu picked over the food on her plate while, Peter was moving the vegetables around on his plate with his fork. Lu was dying to talk to Peter but, didn't know how to bring it up, they hadn't said two words since they left Dana's office.
"Harry was never tested was he?" Peter asked
"no, just Kilner" Lu said, keeping her head down the whole time
"why didn't you tell me I was a possibility?"
"because we were drunk that night, we weren't actually sure if we did anything, much less used protection"
"so, you really think this baby is mine?"
"well, I certainly do now"
Peter looked down at his plate again, "okay"
"do you want to find out?" Lu asked softly
"no"
"no?" she asked confused
"no, we treated this baby as ours from the beginning, so it doesn't matter"
Lu looked into Peter's eyes, they were overflowing with joy at that moment she understood just how happy he was.
A few weeks later Lu was sitting on the couch in the living room when she felt a familiar movement in her stomach, the muscles tightened.
"Peter" she gasped
He leaped up from his chair and went to her side, "what's wrong?"
"I think I'm in labour"
"okay, deep breaths"
"I know, I know" Lu stated
"I'll get your bag and we'll head to the hospital"
"okay" Lu said as Peter ran into the other room, "hurry" she commanded
"ready to go?" he asked only seconds later when he appeared
"uh-huh"
Peter helped Lu up and they walked out the front door. Several minutes later they arrived at Rittenhouse hospital. Peter grabbed a wheel chair and brought it over to Lu. She looked at the wheel chair then at Peter and back at the wheel chair again, "you don't expect me to ride in that do you?" Lu seriously asked
"yeah I do" Peter simply stated
"no" Lu replied
"no?" Peter asked
"no" Lu repeated
"okay, suit yourself, you can walk all the way upstairs"
"walk?"
Peter nodded his head
"I think not"
"then sit down in the chair and I'll wheel you up"
"alright" Lu said, finally giving in
"thank you"
When they arrived in the Maternity Ward Lu's pains were becoming more intense.
"Peter, it really hurts"
"I know" Peter simply answered back
Peter wheel her over to the nurses station, "Renee, page Doctor Stowe and tell her Lu's here"
"sure thing Peter, you can take her into room 425" she said as she handed him the chart to fill out.
"okay thanks"
Once they were inside the room, Peter tried to help Lu out of the wheel chair and into the bed but, she protested, "I can do it"
"okay" he said as he watched her slowly standing up
"well, maybe I do need a little help" Lu confessed
Peter helped her up in to the bed and the door flung open revealing Dana.
"Hi" Dana said cheerfully as she closed the door behind her
"Hey" both Peter and Lu said in unison
"well, let's get right down to business" Dana said as she put on a pair of gloves.
"okay" Lu agreed
"okay, I'll check your dilation and we'll go from there"
"okay, just hurry up" Lu said
After Dana checked her dilation she looked up at Lu.
"Lu, I'm sorry to have to tell you this but,"
She was suddenly cut off by Lu, "What?"
"false alarm" Dana answered quietly
"false alarm?" Peter asked
"yeah" Dana repeated
"no way" Lu protested
"I'm sorry Lu, it looks like you might have experienced some Braxton Hicks contractions" Dana said with a little compassion
"I can't believe this, I mean you think I would know, not only am I a doctor but, I've had a child"
"I'm sorry, honey" Peter said comforting her.
