"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Johnny looked at her, not wanting to assume anything or get his hopes up.
"I always want to end up with you, Johnny Zacchara. I want to have you're baby and just do life with you. That's all I've ever wanted-you know me, I really don't give a fuck about marriage because of all the divorce that I've seen. I just know that you're the only man I've ever loved and wanted to be with. That's what I know. I also know that there's nobody I trust more...with my life." Lulu spoke with deep conviction, knowing both were unsure.
"In a perfect world I'd want to raise our baby here but...we've never been that conventional couple. I love you Lulu, I'll do whatever it takes not only to protect you but-our baby. I just needed to know that we were on the same page. I'll let you get you're bags packed and I'll finish making the arrangements with Morgan." Johnny steps forward to tuck a piece of blonde hair behind her ear, the September wind whipping her hair around, as they both smiled.
"You have no idea how much I've dreamed about this-maybe not a psycho making us run for our lives but, admitting all of this to you." Lulu softly glanced up at him.
"I know what you mean...I've been kicking myself ever since I broke up with you. I'll spend the rest of my life trying to make up for kissing Maxie-which is by far the worst mistake that I've ever made. I love you." Johnny leaned his head against hers, lowering his lips to hers in a sweet kiss.
"And, I love you." Johnny smiles, placing a hand on her stomach where their baby was growing.
"You're going to be an amazing dad, I need you to know that. I remember hearing how you used to talk about not knowing if you'd be a good father because of Anthony...but, that's exactly why you'll be amazing. You know exactly what not to do, you're the sweetest man alive baby." Lulu cupped his face in her hands, smiling sweetly.
"You're gonna make me blush...you're the best. I know you'll be the best mom in the world, you're so caring. The way you always are there for Michael and Morgan and you're nephews...you are always taking care of other people, it would mean the world to me if you just let me take care of you for these next nine months...as much as Possible given our situation." Johnny chuckled, seeing the adoration in Lulu's eyes as he spoke.
"Of course...I love when you take care of me. I should pack my bags hopefully Maxie won't be there, god knows she can't keep a secret to save her life." Lulu already what Maxie described as "mom worry" which was basically anxiety, about every little thing.
"Why don't you come with me to Morgan's? I don't want to put you under anymore stress." Johnny suggested, knowing this situation was causing her anxiety.
"Alright. Does Sonny know about Jason and Sam leaving?" Lulu asked, falling in step beside Johnny.
"I don't think so...I think Morgan just wants to keep this between us. Sam is his main concern which I completely understand, because you're my main concern. Sonny doesn't really have a ride or die lady, you know?" Johnny explained.
"Oh, so I'm you're lady?" Lulu lightly smirked, enjoying seeing the progress Johnny had made since they'd first met.
"You better get used to hearing that-I plan to call you my lady forever." Johnny took her hand in his as he walked, the couple making their way to Jason's Penthouse.
"Do you think Lulu will agree to go off the grid? Isn't she with that Dominic guy?" Sam McCall was iffy about if Lulu would even hear a word Johnny had to say-why was Jason so confident?
"Lulu would do anything for Johnny, and vice versa. I bet you twenty bucks I'm right." Jason gives her a look.
"Alright, I'll bite." Sam shrugged, deciding she could give up 20 if she was wrong. There was a knock on the door, Sam answered it...standing on the other side was Johnny and Lulu. Hand in hand.
"Told You."
