Ch.13 Surprise!

3 days later…

Marc is staying with Lu and Ben until he gets better. So while Lu and Ben are at the hospital Marc is snooping around Ben's papers that are on top of his desk.

Later that day…

Lu: Lana who's my next patient

Lana: nobody kid

Lu: letting out a big sigh oh thank GOD, well I'll be in my office

Lana: ok

Lu goes into her office and lies on her couch trying to catch a little sleep. But then Ben comes in

Ben: Lu?

Lu: yea, I'm here…hey

Ben: hey what are you doing?

Lu: Well I was trying to get some sleep since I don't have any patients now but…

Ben: Oh I'm sorry I'll come back later

Lu: no its ok, I'm up now and I know I won't be able to get any sleep anyway…so what's up?

Ben: Well I want to talk to you about something…BEEP! Lu's pager goes off

Lu: oh I'm sorry ER needs me, we can talk later I promise honey…she rushes out the door

Later that night…

Lu came home before Ben cuz he had an emergency at the hospital

Lu: walks through the door calling Marc!

Marc: yea mom, I'm in the bathroom

Lu: you ok? Still yelling

Marc: yea I'm fine

Lu goes into the kitchen to get a glass of water then she goes into her room to lie down

Marc: walking with crutchesin Lu's room Hey mom what's up

Lu: nothing… I'm really tired

Marc: oh ok I'll leave you alone turning towards the door

Lu: come on Marc sit down, we haven't had a good talk together lately. What's wrong?

Marc: sitting on the edge of the bed are you and Ben moving?

Lu: what? No honey…why'd you ask?

Marc: cuz I saw some papers of a blue print of a house, like he's making a house or something

Lu: really? And where did you find these papers?

Marc: ummm… well I was looking for a pen in the study and I came across it

Lu: Marc! Whining his name

Marc: what mom? I didn't mean to look through his stuff it just happened

Lu: so it really was a blue print of a house? Smiling

Marc: yup

Lu: what did it look like?

Marc: it was really nice, it wasn't really big but it wasn't small either and… before he could finish they heard Ben coming through the door…Mom don't tell him ok?

Lu: I wont

Ben: walking in the room Hey

Marc: getting up from the bed Hey Ben, well I'm going to go watch TV

Lu: ok honey…Hey smiling from ear to ear

Ben: why are you smiling so hard?

Lu: Oh nothing, so what did you want to talk to me about earlier?

Ben: well before I was so rudely interrupted by your loud pager I wanted to ask you a question

Lu: about?

Ben: this house…do you like it?

Lu: Yea it's ok, but it's not "ours"…it's yours

Ben: I know but I told you that it is ours together, it doesn't matter whose name is on the lease

Lu: yea it really does. Anyway why are you asking me these questions?

Ben: well come with me I can show you better then I can tell you

They walk to his office; Ben gets out this big rolled up poster paper

Lu: what's that?

Ben: It's a blue print of a house I'm getting made for us but before they finish it I want you pick what you want for the rooms since that's a girl thing…I think

Lu: omg Ben are you serious? Smiling

Ben: yes very much, and I'm very much in love with you

Lu: I love too they hug

Ben: and Marc I already know you know trying to talk loud so marc could hear him

Marc: limping in the room know what?

Ben: I know you looked at it cuz it wasn't put back in the same place

Marc: I'm sorry for going through your things all I really was doing was looking for a pen then I seen this poster looking thing and I opened it

Ben: it's ok cuz I have nothing to hide

Lu: but Marc don't do it again cuz that was very rude and that is not how I raised you

Marc: I know mom I said I'm sorry

Ben: ok since we cleared that up Marc what do you think about the house?

Marc: I think it's going to turn out really nice

Ben: yea I think so too

Lu: So is it being build as we speak?

Ben: yes ma'am

Lu: wow…I can't wait to see it, do you know when it's goin to be finished

Ben: well since it's not a really big house it should be done in a month or two

Lu: really? I can't wait!

Ben: and this will be "our" house, together

Lu: now that's what kind of house I like

Ben: and that's what kind of smile I like to see they kiss

The Next Morning…

Lana: good morning Lu

Lu: good morning Lana

Lana: well sounds like somebody had a goodnight

Lu: yes I did! Ben is having a house build for us

Lu: he's getting better, and he's getting worse at the same time

Lana: what do you mean?

Lu: well he was the first one to tell me about the blue print cuz he was going through Ben's stuff

Lana: well kid you've always been nosey so don't get mad at him for doing what you do

Lu: I'm not nosey…Well I'm not that nosey…ok I might be a little nosey but Marc knows better

Lana: yea I know kid
