To answer guest's question: the original idea I had for Milo's birthday in the previous chapter was to have something happen than involved Les [seemed appropriate as I mentioned him in the first chapter haha], and then the idea I had later was similar to what it is now but Andy and Lu would kind of had switched places, so Lu would've been with Milo. This was mostly because I wasn't sure what position I wanted them to use when it was all three of them together. I figured Andy and Lu sharing that kiss was probably as close together as I should make Milo and Lu.

Glad you enjoyed the chapter!

Now, this chapter mostly feels like just a set-up for the next chapter, plus a way to bridge the time between what has happened previously and what will happen next. If flashbacks aren't your thing then this chapter ain't for you.

—The Threat—

Andy could hear Dr. Haywood's voice in the distant, hearing him announce the next single doctor to be auctioned off for the annual bachelor auction. She was sure that if she put in some effort she could calculate just how much alcohol she had coursing through her system, but she didn't particularly care.

It had been a bit of a shock to see Milo with some other woman hanging on his arm so soon after their break-up and she hadn't even had Lu to distract herself. Anyway, it didn't matter. She had seen the woman leave and Milo head towards the elevators, probably heading to his office. She managed to catch the elevator door right before it shut and seconds later it was just her and Milo coasting up to the sixth floor of Rittenhouse hospital.

Just a few weeks earlier he had lain awake in bed, hearing Lu's moans drifting through the walls of his apartment and though he had found someone else, Milo couldn't exactly say he was over it. There was complete silence, just awkwardness and him staring at Andy through the corner of his eye. He badly wanted to forget what had happened and just get back together but he knew he couldn't forgive her; he had seen her and Lu together and knew it was just a matter of time before something would happen between them once again. Still, it wasn't common enough for her to get dressed up that it didn't affect him and he couldn't help but stare.

''So…'' Andy started, trying to find some way to break the awkwardness. She couldn't imagine him taking her back but she couldn't handle them being nothing to each other, starting just a simple conversation on the elevator was a step in the right direction she figured. She turned a bit more towards him, her eyes falling on his lips and she had to hold herself back. ''I saw your dat-'' It was a terrible idea to bring up his date as Andy didn't even want to think about him with another woman but it didn't matter. His sweet, soft, perfect lips on her own stopped her from saying anything else.

Her hands moved up to his sides, pulling him closer to herself. His tongue was in her mouth, the sweet taste perfectly complimenting his personality. She could feel him push back against her, her back against the cold elevator wall, his hands seemingly everywhere. She wanted to breathe him in, consume his entire being, never be away from him ever again. She could already feel him against her thigh and for once she didn't care that they were in public. His hands were on her butt, pulling her pelvis closer to his own as he moved against her thigh, needing some kind of friction to alleviate the arousal he had for her that had been building inside him for far too long.

Just as her hands moved to his belt she could feel him pull away and immediately missed his lips on her own, her hand still lingering on his arm as he stood in the middle of the elevator as if nothing had happened right as the doors opened.

The ding somewhat brought Andy back into the moment, got her mind back to reality. This is what she had given up. She could say that she didn't know what had gotten over her a month earlier when she made the decision to sleep with Lu, but even a split second flash in her mind of what Lu looked like reminded her that she had no will power when it came to the stunning Latina doctor. The long brown hair, the impossibly long eyelashes, her smile, her perfect lips… Andy's eyes were still staring at Milo, followed him as he exited the elevator and left her alone in there. Alone as the doors closed and she stood in the elevator with the smell of Milo's cologne still in her nose.

It wasn't a simple crush that she had on Lu. It wasn't even a simple 'can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars yada yada…' No. It was feeling sick to her stomach with excitement at the thought of seeing Lu. It was actual feelings. It was not being able to sleep as she could only think about Lu lying next to her. actually, legit being with Lu though… That felt like reaching for the stars, literally, trying to catch a star from her backyard. Impossible. No way.

But even as she had been kissing Milo, the man she had been yearning for for a month now… Lu was still in the back of her mind.

Just like she was now. Andy was still on top of Milo, could feel his dick twitch inside her before he grew soft. She had barely come down from her own orgasm and wasn't sure why that night of the bachelor auction had come back to her as she came, the only thing she knew was that she was glad for the ring on her finger, glad to have the knowledge that she could be with him every single night now if she so pleased.

Andy took a deep breath, trying to catch her breath, before rolling off of Milo and pulling the sheets over her naked body. The weather might've warmed up quite a bit in the past few months but the May breeze blowing in through the window still made it rather chilly. She looked over at Milo with a smile, his face close to hers.

''We might've just made a baby,'' she whispered to him. According to the test she had taken she was ovulating, and even though she knew that conception wasn't that quick and even if one of his sperm managed to somehow find her egg that, at her age that was still no guarantee that nine months from now they would be able to take a baby home, even so… it was still exciting to think that they might. At the moment it still felt like seeing Milo rock their baby in his arms was something that would only happen in her imagination, to think that might change…

''I hope so,'' Milo said, his hand softly stroking Andy's face. Not that he didn't love practicing making babies with Andy; he was still impatiently waiting for the day it would actually happen. ''Have you told Lu that we're trying?''

Andy groaned quietly as she turned around on the bed, leaning her legs against the wall behind the bed. ''I haven't found the right moment yet,'' she said, ''Haven't found the right words.''

Milo could tell from Andy's demeanor that she didn't feel like talking about it, and though he hoped she would tell Lu before they actually conceived he didn't want to pressure her too much. He didn't want to mingle in their relationship too much, especially since he hoped Lu wouldn't mingle in their relationship either. He kissed Andy on the lips before climbing over her and getting off the bed and heading to their closet, ''Just try to do it soon.''

She was sure this was a terrible idea. But the image of Lu was still replaying in her head and though Andy's fingers did a fine job of getting herself off it wasn't the same. Standing outside Lu's door, not even a little bit sure Jonas was out of town on one of his business trips; Andy tried to find the courage to ring the doorbell. Tried to find the courage to coax Lu into bed. They hadn't since Milo and Andy had broken up and Lu had followed her into the showers at work. Which was far too long ago now if you asked Andy.

She licked her lips and could still taste Milo on them, the memory of exactly how Milo's lips felt on her own still fresh on her mind. She tried to push it from her thoughts as she decided to just ring the doorbell and playing the rest of it by ear. Andy was sure she would find the words as soon as Lu opened the door, but when they actually came face to face she was speechless, a rather rare occurrence for her.

''Andy? What're you doing here?'' Lu asked. She had been just about to head off to bed, already half asleep, and Andy showing up at this hour had been pretty unexpected. ''Are you okay?'' She asked even despite the fact that she could tell on Andy's face that she wasn't.

''Milo and I kissed,'' it left Andy's lips before she had even had time to think about it. It hadn't been her plan to mention Milo to Lu at all and she wasn't sure why she had said it. Maybe it was because the last time anything had happened with her and Milo Lu had found the best possible way to comfort her? Maybe. Andy knew she wanted to say that Lu had been on her mind the entire time but worried about how it would come off.

Lu's face expressed surprise, ''Okay… Are you two…?'' She couldn't imagine them getting back together after their unceremonious break-up but would be happy for Andy if they did.

Andy knew that besides just being regular drunk she was somewhat sleep drunk as well now and it was making her bolder than usual. She ignored Lu's question, ''Is Jonas home?''

Lu frowned a bit, wondering what exactly was on Andy's mind. She liked to think that she knew Andy quite well but considering the change in their relationship in the past couple of months she couldn't be so sure, there was never any certainty of what was going to happen from one moment to the next now. ''Not for another couple of days,'' Lu said. She hesitated for a second as she eyed Andy, ''Are you okay?''

Andy swallowed, ''I want you inside of me.'' It was barely louder than a whisper but she knew Lu had heard her. She didn't care that she was completely disregarding the workings of Lu's anatomy, she didn't care. It most accurately said what she wanted. It got the point across, which was all that mattered. They stared at each other in silence for a few seconds which seemed like an eternity to both—neither entirely sure where to take it from here.

Andy tentatively took a few steps forward, Lu automatically stepping back to not get in Andy's way. Andy let the door fall shut behind her; neither of them even heard it close. For the first time in what felt like way too long there were just a few feet separating them from each other. An arm's length. Andy was all too aware that all she had to do was reach out her hand and she could wipe Lu's hair away from her face, cup Lu's cheek in her hand, lean in, and kiss her. Without thinking about she licked her lips in anticipation.

Apparently that was all that Lu needed, but it wasn't the way either of them had imagined. It wasn't the hungry kisses they had shared before, the hungry kisses both of them figured they would have after a month of trying to leave space between each other and just live life as if nothing had happened between the two of them. But it wasn't like that. It was soft and gentle. Andy wouldn't dare call it loving because that had way too many implications for her to handle right now, but she knew there was no better word for it.

Andy could hear Lu moan into her mouth and her hands fell to the hem of Lu's shirt, taking off the garment was the only possible reason she would pull away from Lu's lips. It was only minutes later that she turned away from the window opposite her to watch as Lu closed the door to the guest bedroom. Vaguely she recalled Lu talking about turning it into a nursery once she and Jonas finally got married, but at the moment that seemed to be the furthest thing from her mind.

Lu pushed Andy backwards onto the queen size bed, crawling on top of her. Her lips captured Andy's lips in a kiss which she quickly deepened before moving down Andy's body. She ignored the dress Andy was wearing, merely pushing it up to her waist before dragging Andy's panties down her legs and burying her face in the apex on Andy's legs. Her hands were running up and down the outsides before finally coming to a rest of Andy's hips, keeping her pushed down as she started wiggling, attempting to buck away from Lu's attack on her clit.

It didn't take long for her to come undone.

Lu's head was resting on Andy's lower stomach as the latter woman tried to catch her breath. She wiggled her eyebrows, ''Want to see how many times I can make you come?''

''You've been using that as a threat way too much,'' Andy said as she lay in bed next to Lu. She looked over at Lu's little notepad which had all the punishments she had thought off to use on Andy, with just a few crossed off.

''Because it's fun watching you get all uncomfortable,'' Lu said, ''It's not as if I'd ever actually do it,'' she added after a second before giving Andy a look, ''Or would I?'' It wasn't as if she opposed to actually having Nick be in there in the room with them, even if it was just to see how it would affect Andy. It was more the logistics of it that made it difficult; she doubted Milo would be okay with it, she didn't know if Nick actually wanted it or if it had been mere teasing, and she couldn't figure out for what exactly it would be an appropriate punishment.

Andy nudged Lu, ''You can cross withholding orgasms off the list though,'' she wanted Lu to forget about that one as quickly as possible, ''You've already used that one way too many times.''

''Because it's one of the few that's an actual punishment for you,'' Lu said with a laugh, ''Most of the things on this list you can actually get into… Spanking? You've basically come from that. The vibrating panties? It looked like a punishment for a little while but ultimately you were way too into it.''

''Those were nice,'' Andy said with a smile as she thought back to their weekend away, almost two months ago now.

''Look, I'll think of some more punishments,'' even just to keep things interesting—even punishments could get stale after a while, ''I'll make a sexual bucket list or something…'' she said as she threw the notepad and pen down on her nightstand.

''I guess that means I should do some things that you can punish me for,'' Andy said before softly biting Lu on the neck. All her life she had been trying to avoid doing anything that warded a punishment, but with Lu and Milo… It had never been more fun to be bad. ''Maybe we can have a repeat of Milo's birthday.''

''It was my idea for you to offer Milo to let him to do whatever he wanted with me as well,'' which she had only done to appease Andy after she had freaked out about disappointing Milo on his birthday. ''I offered it; I'm not going to punish you for that.''

Andy slid down the bed a bit so she was laying down more, cuddling into Lu's side. ''Thank you for doing that.''

''It was my pleasure,'' Lu said, ''Literally. I had a good time.'' It hadn't been her plan to even stay over that evening but she wasn't exactly complaining about how it had all turned out in the end. She still didn't feel attracted to Milo but for Andy she would take a bullet.

''It certainly keeps things interesting,'' Andy said. It had now happened two times that the three of them had ended up in bed together and she couldn't complain about either time. Not that what they usually did was boring by any means, she still enjoyed being with both Milo and Lu separately, but still…

''And if you ever get bored with us I can always invite Nick over to watch,'' Lu said. It had changed from how that threat had started; now it was just about Nick watching instead of joining them. Still, she had never even considered bringing it up to Milo and still hadn't been able to figure out if she even should. She didn't need permission for any of the other things on her list, but this actually involved another man; not the easiest thing to spring on Milo.

''You really love threatening me with that one don't you?'' Andy asked with a chuckle as she could see the broad smile on Lu's face. She bit her lip as she made up her mind, getting out from underneath Lu's touch and getting up off the bed. She put on her underwear and bra before turning back to Lu and answering the questioning look on her face, ''I just thought of a great idea,'' it was somewhat of a lie, ''But we have to go somewhere for it.''

Lu hesitantly picked up her own undergarments as well, putting them on as she narrowed her eyes at Andy, ''Do I want to know what you have in mind?''

Andy crossed the bed on her knees before standing up in front of Lu, pecking her on the lips, ''I promise you'll love it.''

Lu was racking her brain as they exited the elevator and walked down a hallway, the elevator had looked somewhat familiar, as did the hallway. Without realizing it she was staring at the very distinct crown molding trying to figure out where she had seen it before, trying to figure out where the hell Andy was taking her.

They finally stopped in front of one of the apartment doors as Lu thought back to what they had been talking about before Andy had come up with this ''brilliant'' idea, and realization sunk in. She stared at Andy as her jaw dropped, just as Andy knocked on the door. Her and Andy's eyes were fixed on each other as Lu shook her head, ''You wouldn't…''

The door flew open before Andy could even answer Lu's question with a wicked smile.

''Lu? Dr. C?'' Nick asked, surprised to see them there. ''What brings you here?''
