Ch. 8 A Surprise for Lu
When Lu finished with her last patient, she went to her office and got her coat and purse. Before leaving the office, Lu looked down at her belly, gently stroked it, and quietly said, "I love you baby girl."
With that she smiled. She left the office, and to her surprise, bumped into Jonas.
"Jonas! What are you doing here?" Lu cried.
"I just came to pick up my girls," he said with a smile on his face.
As they drove home, Jonas enlightened Lu a little on what was to happen next.
"Okay Lu. I have a surprise for you and our daughter waiting at home," Jonas started, "but I'm not going to tell you anymore."
Lucky for Lu, they were practically home already, so she didn't have to wonder long. Before Jonas opened the door to the mansion, he told her, "Okay, when I open the door, I want you to follow the rose petals."
"Okay," Lu said pretty confused.
When Jonas opened the door, Lu immediately saw the roses. She followed the petal up the stairs and down the hallway to a closed door. Jonas waited in the living room until he got a reaction from Lu.
"Oh my gosh!" Lu cried.
Jonas walked back to Lu. She was standing in the middle of the brand new nursery.
"How did you get this all done in one day?" Lu asked through her tears.
"Well, I had the furniture all ready to be put in. It was waiting in the basement. Lana called the designers and told them what to do," Jonas said.
"But how did Lana know to tell the designers to decorate for a girl?" Lu asked.
"Lana said that Andy has known for weeks. When she found out about my plan, she told Lana so that the room would be perfect," Jonas said as he took his wife into his arms.
Lu looked around the nursery. She admire the white crib with its fairy mobile. The soft baby pink walls with a pink and white rose border. The white dresser and changing station. She looked in the corner and saw the most comfortable rocking chair she had ever seen. As Lu went and sat down, Jonas followed. He stood behind the chair, and gently rocked his wife.
"Do you like it?" he asked.
"Nope. I love it," Lu said.
"Good. Oh. I know it's a few months early, but, Happy Anniversary. I figured that since the baby would be born shortly before our anniversary, it would have to get done before that."
"I didn't really care when it got done. I'm just happy it is. Our baby officially has a home."
