Lulu was sitting in front of the window when the power flickered again. "Lights are going to go out aren't they?" she asked Dillon
Dillon looked up from his magazine, "Probably" he replied. "You ok?"
"Yeah- I just don't understand why you came with me" Lulu said. "You hate me remember"
"I don't hate you" Dillon replied. "I am angry. But I still care about you Lulu"
Lulu didn't reply she just sat there looking outside as the sun started going down. In her head she thought of one hundred different ways to tell Dillon about the baby but in the end she decided maybe not to tell him at all. She could ask Sonny for some money and she could get rid of it or leave town. But that wasn't right either- not fair to Dillon.
"I am going to take a shower" Lulu announced and headed for the bathroom. She grabbed her clothes- pajama pants and a t-shirt. The bathroom was dark –as would be most of the town soon. She turned on the water and let it run for a moment.
Lulu stripped down and climbed inside. The water-felt great- almost relaxing for her. But northing could completely relaxing. She had been in the shower for about five minutes when she heard her cell phone ring.
"Want me to get that for you?" Dillon asked.
"Sure" Lulu said absentmindedly.
"It was Nikolas" Dillon said. "I told him you call him back"
"Ok thanks" Lulu replied.
A moment later the bathroom door flew open. Lulu pulled the curtain back and covered herself with it. "What?" she asked Dillon.
He was pale as a ghost and looked livid. In his hand was the pregnancy test. "Were you planning on telling me?" he demanded.
"Where did you get that?" Lulu yelled. The she remembered she put it in her purse earlier.
"Your purse when I put your cell phone back" Dillon snapped, "Now- back to my question. Were you going to tell me?"
"I-uh-I" Lulu stammered. Then she shouted. 'Get out. Let me finish my shower. I will talk to you when I am done"
"But-"Dillon started.
"No- get out," Lulu screeched. Dillon turned and slammed the door.
Ok. Ok. Calm down, Lulu, she told herself. Relax- you can handle this, she said.
Lulu waited about ten minutes before she turned the water off and got dressed. When Lulu came out Dillon was sitting in her place by the window and was taking his turn staring out.
"Ok- ready to talk" Lulu said calmly and quietly.
