Oh drama galore! Lu is a bit mean, Andy is a bit misunderstanding, and Milo just wants to get his dick wet. This chapter pushes this ''little 3-shot'' into the 100k+ territory [unbelievable!], I hope you enjoy.

—The Sacrifices—

''Come on, just come out and show me,'' Lu encouraged as she leaned against the changing room door. A smile was on her face, she knew that Andy would be too embarrassed to actually come out—despite there not being any other people in that area of the store—but was too excited to see it to care.

''I am not coming out,'' Andy said sternly as she looked in the mirror, turning from side to side so as to see every angle. The morning had started out fairly innocently. Now that Andy and Milo had been engaged for a month Lu had decided it was time they go shopping for a wedding dress, they found a little boutique that at first seemed promising but had ultimately proved to be a flop. Andy didn't know why she hadn't protested when Lu had then suggested to go lingerie shopping.

She never really bothered much with lingerie. Milo had voiced the fact that he much preferred to find nothing under her clothes over some lacey thing that didn't cover much anyway lots of times, and after he had ripped one of those very expensive lacey things she had decided it was easier to just not wear any at all. It was only at Lu's insistence that she was now standing here, trying to ignore how unflattering the lighting was.

She had half a mind to just change back and forget about this whole thing but Lu was knocking on the door and Andy knew that letting her see it was the easiest way to get her to shut up about it. With a sigh she opened the door, her head cocked to the side, ''this is ridiculous.''

Lu's smile quickly vanished as her jaw dropped. It took her a few seconds to regain her senses and she stepped inside and closed the door behind her, staring unabashedly. ''You should wear that all day every day,'' she said, looking over Andy's shoulder into the mirror. She had always known Andy looked good in red and this piece only solidified that.

''Delgado!'' Andy said, trying to get Lu's horny mind out of the gutter. Lu gave her a look, still not understanding why Andy had such a habit of still calling her by her surname. She turned to the mirror, trying to see what Lu saw, but it only served to make her more uncomfortable. ''I'm just going to change back and we can get some food,'' she said as she reached for the clasp on her back which was holding the one-piece in place.

''Even better,'' Lu said. She could see Andy's face in the mirror and knew that she was waiting for her to leave. She had every intention of staying though.

Andy turned to Lu, raising an eyebrow. Over time she had gotten a pretty good idea of how Lu's mind worked and it didn't bode well. ''No,'' she said softly and she could see Lu was starting to protest, ''we're in public…''

''We're alone in here,'' Lu said, ''the door is closed. And even though you can pretty loud at times I'm sure you could remain quiet if you tried.'' Her hands were on Andy's waist, stroking the soft lace. She softly kissed Andy's lips, one of her hands moving up and cupping Andy's breast. It was Andy who was the one to deepen the kiss and Lu couldn't help but smile internally.

It was the sound of people outside the dressing room that brought Andy back down to reality. She softly pushed Lu away, now wishing that she didn't have to. ''You're such a horndog,'' she muttered as she turned away and pulled the straps down her arms, still instinctually covering herself as more and more of her got exposed.

Lu took a break from mentally cursing the people outside for a second and focused her attention back on Andy, ''I'm just really into you.''

PDA wasn't exactly Andy's thing, nor was it Milo's, but Lu seemed to have different ideas. It was still relatively harmless but the thought that someone from the hospital could come in and see them together still made her uneasy about how close Lu was sitting next to her. They were sitting side-to-side, their thighs were touching but other than that they seemed to almost ignore each other.

Andy was too focused on the thought of someone seeing them; the only break she got from that paranoia was when Lu 'inadvertently' brushed her hand against Andy's body. Lu's mind was occupied with what Andy was wearing under her clothes. She had ultimately convinced Andy to buy the lingerie, only to then push her into a public bathroom to change into it. Knowing what was underneath Andy's conservative clothing was making it difficult to hold a conversation. It had been Lu's suggestion to just go back to her apartment and see what happened, but Andy had insisted on getting something to eat first.

As Lu finished her meal and wiped her mouth with her napkin she looked over at Andy who seemed deep in thought, ''what'ya thinking 'bout?'' Lu asked as she slipped her hand into Andy's under the table.

Andy pulled her hand away, quickly looking around them to see if anybody had noticed. ''Nothing,'' she answered quickly. A sigh escaped her as she tried to think of a way to change the topic, ''is it hot in here to you?''

It had been merely a minute since Lu had pulled her jacket closer around her for some warmth, ''you're making it hot,'' she said, leaning closer to Andy. The look on Andy's face made her roll her eyes, ''lighten up, nobody in here knows us.'' When the look on Andy's face didn't change she pulled away, running her hands over her jeans, ''I'm gonna get some coffee, do you want anything?''

After shaking her head Andy watched Lu make her way over to the bar. She didn't quite know why she was suddenly feeling so paranoid, just a sense of impending doom that had suddenly washed over her. For a second she was lost, staring mindlessly into her tea as she stirred it before fishing out the tea bag. When she looked back up she didn't like what she saw, some guy standing just a bit too close to Lu, his smile just a bit too wide, a bit too eager to make small talk with the beautiful Latina.

It took her back to the time some random guy had tried to talk Lu into having a drink with him, before Lu made it known that she was taken by Andy. What happened later was some of the best sex they had ever had, but it didn't quite make up for the pangs of jealousy. It didn't help that Lu didn't seemed too bothered by the guy.

Andy watched them as Lu ordered, then the guy ordered, then they hung around just a little while longer standing and chatting with each other. She couldn't look away. With how well she now knew Lu it had become easy to pick up on her subtle ways of flirting. Her eyes were fixed on the two of them until Lu made her way back over to their table.

With her eyes still on the man—who was following Lu's every move with his gaze as he smiled—Andy pulled Lu closer to her, intertwining their hands and pulling her close.

Lu watched Andy send death glares at the guy and chuckled, ''I thought Milo and I were the jealous ones,'' she commented as she blew on her cup of coffee, impatient for it to cool down.

''I'm not jealous,'' Andy argued back as she finally looked back at Lu, immediately feeling her heart soften. ''I just like having you all to myself,'' she said, leaning closer to her. They were still far apart from each other that it wouldn't look suspicious to unsuspecting eyes, but Andy didn't care as much anymore. A strange look crossed Lu's face for a split second and Andy frowned, ''what?''

Lu shrugged dismissively, ''it's not as if I have you to myself,'' she said, looking down at her coffee.

Andy was taken aback by this. ''Are you saying you want to see other people?'' She asked, wondering when this new development had taken place. Before what had just happened Lu had never expressed interest in seeing anyone else, and though Andy had to admit that the guy was very handsome she knew that Lu didn't believe in love at first sight and doubted that there had been that many sparks. Even from a distance she had been able to see how much of a smooth-talker he was, something that she knew turned Lu off.

''No,'' Lu answered immediately. The thought had never even crossed her mind. Never minding the fact that she and Andy had really only been together for a few months at best and it was too soon to figure out what exactly she wanted from their relationship in the future—whether that meant adding more people or not—it was not as if she had time to maintain another relationship even despite sharing Andy with Milo. Her work kept het plenty busy which had been one of the pitfalls in her relationship with Jonas—aside from her sleeping with Andy.

Andy frowned, ''then what are you saying?'' It would be so easy to just dismiss Lu's words but that was not in Andy's nature. It wasn't as if she hadn't noticed that Lu seemed different since Milo had proposed to Andy—one moment really excited about the wedding and the next moment seemingly pulling away—and she wondered what was at the root of it. Lu had verbally expressed nothing but delight over it but her attitude contradicted that.

Lu waved it away with her hand, ''I'm not saying anything.'' She maintained. On Andy's face she could see that she wouldn't so easily shrugged it off so decided to try the right words to convey what she was feeling without pushing Andy away, ''we've been saying for forever now that we're just going to play it by ear, that neither of us knows what the future looks like so why plan for it…''

Andy gave her a strange look, ''yeah?''

Lu took a deep breath, ''I guess I just need to know that we're in heading in some direction, any direction at all. Your relationship with Milo is progressing, you're going to get married and are going to be living together… and we're… dating? Just doing our thing and seeing where it's gonna go?''

Andy hesitated to respond, knowing that Lu would never fully see it from her perspective. ''I know it might not seem like it to you but that… dating, that's a huge step for me.'' She sighed as the frustration on Lu's face seemed to grow, ''what do you expect me to say? We can't get married… we can't have kids together, we can't even move in together-''

''Why not?''

''You said you were okay with us keeping this a secret,'' Andy said, reminding Lu of her words. It had been one of the prerequisites that Andy had needed to give their relationship a chance—Lu had promised that that would be okay in order to secure their careers, but now she seemed to completely blow that off.

''I said that I was okay with us keeping it quiet, I didn't mean tell nobody of us,'' Lu argued back, ignoring Andy trying to get her to lower her voice as they were still in the diner. ''Do you know what I gave up for you? I lost my relationship with Jonas, my home, even my relationship with Marc isn't what it was anymore… I gave up too much for you to just sit here and say that we're just going to date in secret forever.''

''You think I didn't give anything up?'' Andy asked, now raising her voice as well and Lu trying to shush her a bit. ''I nearly lost Milo over this, Jesse and Lizzy are still mad at me because of this… I'm risking my lifelong dream to be with you.''

''Except you're not… you want us to date in secret, which in no way impacts you becoming surgeon general. And you didn't lose Milo, and your daughters still talk to you-''

Andy interrupted her, ''but I could have lost him, and I risked that for you, just because it worked out in the end okay doesn't take away from that,'' she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. ''I hate that you lost Jonas and your house and I hate that Marc isn't talking to you, okay? I love you and I want you to have everything… but you can't blame us for all of that, I didn't ask you to give all that up. Jonas was okay with us sleeping together, you could've stayed with him but you decided not to.''

''That's a crock and you know it,'' Lu said plainly. ''And besides, that's not the point.'' She turned away a little bit but saw in the corner of her eyes that Andy raised her eyebrows, silently asking what the point was then. ''The point is that I would risk all of that for you, and give all that up, and you haven't had to sacrifice anything. It's a lot easier to take things lightly when it doesn't cost you anything.''

''Doesn't cost me anything? You know what would happen if the news that I'm dating two people came out? How do you think our co-workers would react… my family, my friends… the military, my shot at becoming surgeon general. We could both lose our jobs, lose all our money-''

''Well as long as it's about money.'' Lu said, shaking her head.

''It's not,'' Andy said, quickly cutting in. ''It's about the fact that this is not a traditional relationship, which doesn't fare well with pretty much everybody who isn't in a relationship like this themselves. What do you think they're going to say when they find out about their relationship? They have their own ideas of what makes a good candidate and what doesn't-''

Lu narrowed her eyes, getting sick of listening to Andy's little rant. There wasn't even talk of Andy being nominated for the post of surgeon general, nor was there anyone who had found out who had thought it was amoral or anything like Andy seemed to be suggesting. She interrupted, ''if you pulled the self righteous stick out of your butt you'd see that life isn't so black and white.''

Andy took a deep breath, trying to stay calm and keep herself from putting Lu's attitude in check as she was wanting to do. ''You're angry in your heart, and you have every right to be,'' despite their conflict she could still see that Lu indeed had given up a lot, ''so I'm going to let that pass.''

Andy was still fuming from her brunch with Lu when she closed her bedroom door behind her. Milo was half passed out on the bed. He had worked a long shift and had asked if he could crash at her place, since the nanny had off it actually worked out perfect for her since Lizzy wouldn't be home alone.

Milo propped himself up on his elbow, his smile which had formed when Andy walked in was quickly fading. ''Are you okay?'' He asked, watching her pace around. He knew that she had gone shopping with Lu so he had thought she'd be in a good mood when she came home. He pulled her towards himself and after a moment of resistance she relented, letting him pull her into his arms. ''What happened?''

''We had a fight,'' Andy mumbled, unsure if she wanted to talk about it at all. She had promised Milo she would avoid intermingling their relationships and she wanted to be true to that, but if she couldn't blow off steam to him then to whom? Despite Milo's words she knew that he was still invested in her relationship with Lu, and even just the fact that he wanted Andy to be happy meant that she knew he still wanted to know what was going on. ''I think she wants to see other people.'' Andy said, knowing that was not at all the point Lu had been trying to make but not feeling like getting into the second half of their fight; knowing that she was to blame for a lot of it.

''Well why shouldn't she?'' Milo asked honestly, knowing that Andy wouldn't like it. He had always heard that happy wife equals a happy life, and if being with Lu made Andy happy then so be it, but he also knew that their relationship caused Andy quite some stress and he didn't know if it would be worth it in the long run. He could see Andy frown at him, ''you have both me and her, why shouldn't she be allowed to have someone else as well?''

''Are you serious right now?'' Andy asked. She twisted in his lap to face him more, ''are you saying that you should get to see other women because I'm with Lu?'' Her mind was already made up that she would never be okay with that, but thinking about it logically she couldn't think of any reason she should be allowed to date them both but they couldn't.

''I won't but I think I should be allowed to,'' Milo said. To him marriage was sacred even if the other person didn't abide to it, he would never step out on Andy and he had come to see her relationship with Lu as something other than cheating, but he couldn't imagine himself with anyone else. ''I'm marrying you,'' he said, ''it's different than your relationship with her.''

''I'm as committed to her as I am to you,'' Andy countered, ''and just because we won't have some piece of paper doesn't mean our relationship is any less legitimate.'' She stood up from his lap, needing some room to breathe.

''Some piece of paper?'' Milo asked, sounding a bit offended, ''if we're going to get married I'd like you to think of it as more than signing 'some piece of paper'.'' He couldn't imagine Andy having ever called marriage that before she had gotten with Lu, but he wanted to know that their relationship wouldn't be any less significant or less of a priority to her just because of Lu.

''You know I didn't mean it like that,'' Andy said with a sigh. She couldn't believe that not only had she had a fight with Lu but now she had managed to get Milo upset with her as well. ''I love you and I can't wait to marry you, I just don't want Lu to feel left behind. You know how important that is to her but I can't marry her, I can't have her move in-''

Milo spoke before he truly thought about what he was saying, ''why can't she move in?'' He interrupted. He had never pictured his married life with Andy involving another woman in her life, but now that he was slowly getting used to the idea he couldn't imagine that Lu wouldn't someday move in with them. Even though he was advocating for her right to be with someone else if she would like to so that maybe she'd fall in love with some guy and break it off between her and Andy, he had seen the way they were together and knew that Lu mentioning dating someone else was merely an idle threat. ''Jesse is off to college, Kayla will probably move out at one point or another, it's not like there's no room at the inn.''

Andy took a few steps towards Milo again, ''you would be okay with that?'' She asked, ''I mean, it wouldn't happen anytime soon,'' definitely not before she and Milo had gotten settled into married life together, and their marriage was still a few months away, ''but one day…?''

''I'm not saying you wouldn't have to make it up to me,'' Milo said, putting his hand on her hip to pull her closer. He could see a knowing smile form on her face, ''but I'm sure we can come to some agreement.''

''Make it up to you how?'' Andy asked, feigning innocence, as she took a few steps backwards, out of his reach. The memory of what she was wearing underneath came bubbling up and she reached for the hem of her shirt, pulling it off over her head. She could see his eyes go wide, taking a deep breath as he stared at her, a muttered ''oh fuck'' under his breath… she kept backing away from him, kicking off her shoes, unbuttoning her pants.

It happened in a flash that her jeans came off and Milo had pushed her up against the door to the bathroom—her front leaning against the cold wood, his body leaning into her back—, slipping the bottom of the teddy to the side for access. She could feel him push his fingers inside of her and gasped, she was more than a little turned on but the sudden shift between fighting and this meant that her body had no time to catch up. It didn't usually happen between them like this, no kissing nor touching before getting down to business wasn't their style.

The feeling of his leg pushing between hers made her realize that she had been trying to close them. She didn't want to but her body had different ideas. After he had pumped his fingers inside her a few times, and he could feel her wetness spreading on them, he unzipped his pants—not bothering to take them, or his underwear for that matter, completely off.

Andy could feel him slip inside her and leaned her forehead against the door, needing something to hold onto as he would inevitably make her weak in the knees. She could feel him run his hands all over her torso, rubbing the lace against her soft skin and causing goose bumps to form all over. His teeth scraped against the side of her neck and caused her to moan quietly.

He set a quick tempo, making her pussy ache. While it didn't usually happen she could come from penetration alone, and he was hitting all the right spots, but it just wasn't quite enough. She closed her eyes, trying to focus on the feeling of him inside her, trying to nudge herself closer to the edge with mere mind control.

His dick twitched inside of her and she knew he was already close, knowing that when he took her like this it was because he was more horny than usual and wouldn't last as long.

When she started to move her hand down to between her legs he grabbed her wrist, planting her hand firmly against the door. She could hear him growl ''no'' and whimpered in frustration as she tried to close her legs just a little bit to get some friction. She could only imagine that it was because of their fight that he was being like this, and though she hated that she now couldn't come she still somewhat got off in a completely different way on him asserting dominance.

His arm snuck around her waist, pulling her close to him and despite there being no skin-on-skin contact she still loved the feel of him against herself. With one hand he softly yanked her hair back, giving him access to her throat and kissing her there, breathing in her perfume.

The sound of his labored breathing drifted into her ear, signaling that he was getting closer. She thrusted back against him, clenching every time he was on an 'out-stroke', which pushed him over the edge. He thrusted into her a few more times as his seed spilled inside of her, drawing out his orgasm as long as he possibly could, his hand was cupping one of her breast and the feeling of the weight in his hand only made his mind foggier.

They both groaned as he finally slipped out of her. Milo immediately missing her warmness around him, Andy because she had gotten really turned on but had no alleviation. Still, she was as weak in the knees as she expected and she sank to the floor, trying to gather her thoughts. Usually Milo only withheld orgasms from her when she 'needed to be punished', as he had so eloquently put it. She couldn't imagine what she had done this time that would make him deny her this even though it turned him on as well when she came.

By the time she looked up to ask him he had already disappeared into the bathroom to clean himself up, leaving her alone, his seed spilling out of her and onto the floor.
