She sat on the sofa watching Johnny from across the room reading a letter that was sent from his father. Johnny hadn't exactly despised Anthony, he just wasn't a big fan. Lulu remembered the day she found out that her dad was dead. He had died the night she and Johnny had been in a fight and she could never forget the guilt that she still felt for not feeling as much pain for Luke; her father as she did for Johnny. It still pained her each day that that night she and Johnny had made live for the first time. It was like one bad thing happens and filled with good things. Like a void. But it wasn't exactly like that. "That son of a bitch better never write another letter to me again. Johnny said." "Why?" "I told Claudia about the baby." "That's okay…I guess. Lulu said hesitantly." "No…No its not because she told my father and now he thinks he can use my---our baby against me. HE IS NOT!" "Hey…its okay." Lulu said calmly sitting next to him and putting her hand on the one he had already on his knee. "This baby and Morgan and you mean everything to me and if I ever lost any of you, my life would be the worst black hole that ever occurred Lulu. "Johnny…you don't even have to worry about that because you're not loosing any of us." She slowly got up and walked to the kitchen counter and opened up a box of popcorn and put one into the microwave. "You need to do something to keep you're mind off of things. You get a movie…okay?" "Okay." Johnny said getting up from his sport on the couch. When Johnny came back, he found Lulu hunched into a ball on the couch with a bowl of popcorn sitting next to her. "What movie did you pick?" Lulu said enthusiastically. "Our first Christmas together." "Oh my gosh…I don't even remember that we videotaped it!" "Lulu…it was out first Christmas as a couple…of course I taped it." He sat down ext to her and pulled her into him. The video was Lulu in a little red and black plaid shirt decorating the Christmas tree. She had a pair of tight leggings with black Uggs on with a red and white Abercrombie and Fitch sweater on. She had her hair half up and half down. It was straight and highlighted at the time. Johnny at one point set the video recorder down on the coffee table to help Lulu put the star on top of the tree. When they were done watching the video, Lulu thought about how Christmas would never be the same again. It was October, and Halloween was coming soon. Morgan had a few costumes picked out, but they haddent purchased one yet. Christmas was always Lulu's favorite holiday. It was always the one time of year that she actually looked forward to. Lulu remembered that she had kept the outfit from that Christmas and went to go and try it on. She wasn't that far along at all in her pregnancy so she figured the outfit would most definitely fit. After she put it on, she walked downstairs and looked to Johnny who was laying on the floor staring at the rain falling down on their skylight window. Lulu tried to talk to Johnny, but he cut her off. "I've been waiting for it to rain" He said and patted his hand on the space of carpet next to him signing for Lulu to lie next to him. She slowly bent down onto her knees and laid beside him. "Its peaceful isn't it? He said" "Yea…it is" Morgan walked into the room not sure if he should ask what they were doing, or just walk by. "Sweetie, are you hungry? Lulu said not talking her eyes off the window. "No, I'm okay." "You sure?" "Yea mommy, I'm sure." He walked back upstairs while making a motor noise and hanging his helicopter from his hand as he made his way back to his room. "Were having a baby in nine months Lulu." "I know. I'm so scared Johnny." He finally took his eyes off the rain and leaned up and hovered over Lulu's face. "There's nothing to be scared about. I'm going to be right here the whole time." "You promise? She said now looking into Johnny's eyes." "I promise. He said talking her face firmly into his hands while her bent his head and kissed her gently." She slowly urged her way up back to her feet making her way to the stool at the island in the kitchen. Johnny followed shortly after her. "Do you remember our first kiss Johnny?" "Yea…I do." "I feel like it was yesterday." It had been 2 years that they were together. "I know, it feels like yesterday I picked you up." "We met, kissed, made love, ran away, got caught, ran away, got engaged, got a little boy, and got pregnant." "Our life together sure has been a ride huh? Johnny said rubbing Lulu's shoulders gently massaging them. "You okay lulu?" "Yea, just a little tired and under the weather is all." "Ill go and draw you a bath." "Okay." As she followed Johnny upstairs with her eyes, she slowly edged her way off the stool. She mad her way into the bathroom and shut the door. Johnny lifted his head up to Lulu. She slowly undressed and stood in front of Johnny. He placed his hands on her hips and kissed her slowly. As she got into the tub, Johnny sat next to the edge on the floor caressing her arm. She sat in the whirlpool and slowly closed her eyes. Johnny followed his finger taces p her arm with his lips until she slowly forced her eyes open. She finished her bath and slowly walked into the bedroom. She gout under the white linens as Johnny placed the blue and white comforter ontop of her. He climed into bed beside her and turned her towards him wrapping
his arms around her waist. "Goodnight Lulu." "Goodnight Johnny." "I love you so much." "I love you too."
