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 downMarc: walking with crutchesin Lu's room Hey mom what's up
Lu: nothing… I'm really tiredMarc: 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: yupLu: 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 wontBen: 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
