Chapter 8

Liz stepped through the door and was met with shouts of "Aunt Lizzie!" Liz dropped to her knees and hugged both of the toddlers. They both had dark curly hair and dimples. They looked like smaller versions of Sonny.

"Hey guys back up and let Aunt Liz breathe," Sonny said picking up Adella. "How was your day sweetheart?" Sonny asked as she pulled her coat off.

"It was good. I made my rounds at the Quartermain's and then headed to the Spencer's and fingerpainted withh Lulu. My art school really payed off," Liz joked.

"Lucky called and asked me to remind you that he'll pick you up around 8:00."

"Okay thanks Sonny. I better go get ready," she pried Michael off of her legs and jogged up the stairs.

Forty five minutes later Liz came downstairs dressed in a light blue halter dress over which she wore a tan leather coat. Sonny, Carly, Courtney, and Jason were sitting at the table planning the wedding. Carly noticed her first and whistled.

"Hot stuff Lizzie! Where ya headed?" Carly asked arching an eyebrow.

"I'm going out with Lucky. He's taking me out dancing."

Carly hit Sonny in the chest. "Why don't you ever take me dancing anymore? It's so romantic-wait a second. Are you and Lucky an item?"

Just then Max poked his head in and said "Lucky Spencer is here."

"Bye guys. Don't wait up," Liz said with a wink as she stepped out the door.

"Tired?" Lucky asked.

"Exhausted", Liz answered leaning her head against the leather head rest. "But I'm so glad we decide to do this."

Suddenly a car came to a screaching halt next to theirs. The next thing Elizabeth knew she was being shoved on the floor as a spray of bullets pelted the car . Liz heard the car roar away and realized there was blood all over and it was coming from a hole in Lucky's chest.
