Chapter Twenty-Nine
Bobbie rapped twice on the door, waiting for one of the occupants to open the door. When she heard no movement from within, she skipped knocking and pushed the doorbell twice, in quick succession.
Finally, right as she turned to leave, Laura's face popped into the window of the door, the always cautious woman knew better than to open the door without looking. Bobbie supposed that came from many years on the run, and wondered briefly if Lucky's recent behavior was a side-effect to those long years, running with no sense of propriety. Luke Spencer was anything but a good, law abiding man, but she had hoped that Lucky would not fall into Luke's bad habits.
Laura's smile bloomed quickly and she opened the door with haste, greeting her sister-in-law as she waved her in. "Bobbie, this is a surprise. Please come in."
"Thanks Laura, I was beginning to think you guys weren't home, I hope I am not interrupting anything?" Bobbie said, wondering where Lulu and Luke were as she scanned the living room.
"Nonsense, Luke and I were upstairs reading to Lulu, I apologize if we made you wait, we just didn't hear you." Laura replied.
"Not a problem, although there is a reason for me coming over so late. Have you heard from Lucky, I know there is a lot going on and even more speculations, but I am worried about him." Bobbie said, suddenly feeling even worse about the tidings she was bring, it felt wrong some how, but she couldn't place her finger on just why.
"Sadly, no, we haven't. Luke has tried to find him, but it seems we keep coming up with dead ends. Never mind the rumors that keep spinning further and further out of control. I can't believe Elizabeth would lie like that, and for what purpose, it makes no sense whatsoever…" Laura exclaimed.
"Laura…" Bobbie began, but was interrupted as Luke came down the stairs.
Luke looked gruffly from his wife to his sister, but most of the animosity that graced his face was surely directed at her. Bobbie didn't understand why this was, but she felt estranged from this part of her family all of a sudden.
"Bobbie, what are you doing here, please tell me you aren't helping spread these vile and vicious lies?" Luke asked, his face hardening with every word.
Bobbie swallowed thickly, took a deep breath and then another. With as much courage as she could muster, she began. "I know this is not something either of you want to believe, but I have seen the bloody marks and gashes that grace Elizabeth's porcelain skin. That girl is lucky, no pun intended, that she is even alive. Ever since Lucky came back, things haven't been right, we need to find him..."
"Lies, I don't know what you hope to gain by spreading such things, but you are obviously not on Lucky's side. Perhaps it is time you leave." Luke nearly screamed. Storming around the room like a whirlwind.
"Believe what you will brother, but against my better judgment, I came here to tell you that Elizabeth is pregnant with Lucky's child. The poor girl is terrified, but thankfully for her, Jason Morgan is willing to raise her child as his own. I know you can be bullheaded Luke, but stupidity is not a virtue you delude yourself in, why start now. You know how off… Lucky has been since his escape, Laura, you have never had a bad word for Elizabeth, she stuck by your son, day in and day out for years." Bobbie said, quickly turning on her heel, knowing reason nor logic resided in their house. She supposed she could understand that, he was their son after all, but one could only turn the other cheek for so long before the truth bit you in the butt.

Sonny stood in front of Jason and Elizabeth's penthouse, a little birdie had whispered that Elizabeth was expecting Lucky's child. For his own peace of mind, he had to hear it from them. Without bothering with the niceties, Sonny pushed open the door and entered.
Francis stood looking dumbfounded as his boss pushed into his other boss's home. It wasn't his place to tell tales, so he kept his lips zipped, although, he was sure he would be hearing about those consequences tomorrow.
"Jason, Elizabeth, are you home?" Sonny shouted out to the empty room. He knew very well that the occupants were home, he just figured giving them a heads up , would be more beneficial for all involved, he didn't need to walk in on any hanky panky. God knows, he hadn't been getting any, so, he might as well make their love life a little less active, at least for the time being. Later, it wouldn't matter, at least then, he could try to live vicariously through them. But that was a scary thought that he quickly tried to banish.

Elizabeth looked beseechingly at Jason, before saying anything. "Can't we just pretend like we aren't home. You promised I would get to dine on you, you wouldn't want to disappoint a raging hormonal woman, now would you?"
"The fact of the matter is simple, he knows we are home, Francis would have told him. And as much as I want to be dined on, there has to be a reason for his showing up here. Can we harness our sexual desires for a few moments, at least until we can get rid of him?" Jason asked, knowing, talking to Sonny was the one thing he really didn't want to do, but knew no way out of doing so.
"Fine, but I want to be lavished when we get back up here. You really need to make this up to me. I want pampering and loving and whatever else your beautiful mind can concoct." Elizabeth said, pulling her shirt back down where it belonged. Her whole body hummed with an encompassing desire, but the interruption would allow her to get something to eat, suddenly she was starving.
Jason just shook his head and followed her down the stairs. He was going to have to talk to his best friend about unannounced visits. But not only that, he had to talk to Elizabeth about whether or not they were going to trust Sonny with their plan. But before he could pull her back into their room, she was already descending the stairs.

Sonny lounge in the easy chair, knowing the young couple rarely did anything that required clothing, for that matter, he himself wouldn't either, especially if he was young and in love. He could think of no better way to spend an evening, afternoon and morning. Well, his sexual appetite had not be stunted with Carly's departure, but it was lacking in anything physical, he really needed to find another woman, the nights were just too lonely otherwise.
As he watched the stairs, hoping to see movement at some point, he realized that work had been slowing down. And while it was true that even their type of business had its lulls, this one he hadn't been expecting.
Just as he was about to get up and go to the kitchen, Elizabeth appeared, looking annoyed and very disgruntled, but beautiful nonetheless.
"Good evening, Elizabeth. How are you tonight?" Sonny asked amicably.
"Food…" Elizabeth grunted, heading towards the kitchen.
Sonny couldn't contain the laughter, it escaped his closed lips, but echoed throughout the place. Just as he thought he was getting himself under control, Jason appeared, and he was once again sent into peals of laughter. It was unlike him to be in such a good mood, or to laugh so easily, but one could not dismiss the fact that Elizabeth was pregnant, her sudden desire for food, now that sex had been postponed was something, Sonny would never forget.
"Hello, my friend. How are you, better than your girlfriend I hope!" Sonny said, still trying to stifle is laughter, but failing rather miserably.
"I'd be better if I knew why you were here?" Jason said, casting a longing look towards the kitchen.
"Well, color me surprised. I get home and there is a message on my answering machine, telling me that the fair Elizabeth is pregnant and that it is Lucky Spencer's child. I may be a little off my game, but that girl is not three months pregnant!" Sonny said, looking from Jason to the empty doorway to the kitchen.
Jason too looked towards the kitchen, knowing that their plan relied mostly upon them trusting one another. He needed Elizabeth's go ahead and right now he realized that trying to get anyway with her, in her current mood, was not something that was going to be easy. So instead of answering Sonny, he merely shrugged his shoulders and indicated with his head, that he was waiting for her.

Elizabeth stood in front of the refrigerator, unsure what she wanted, only knowing that she was suddenly starving. If this was one of the first symptoms of being pregnant, she dreaded what came next.
Unsatisfied with what she found in the fridge, she began looking ardently through the cupboards, but once again was frustrated when she found nothing that appealed to her. With a cry of disgust and unhappiness, she slammed the last cupboard door and stomped into the living room.
The gazes that rested upon her were slightly unnerving, but instead of being unfriendly, she bit back her caustic remark and greeted Sonny. "Hi Sonny, sorry about before…"
"Not a problem, I think I can empathize, but I had expected you to come back out here with a hefty plate of food!" Sonny exclaimed, once again trying to hide his dimples and the laughter that kept threatening to bubble up.
"I would have, but there is nothing to eat here." Elizabeth said sadly, looking from one man to the other. Hoping one of them would clue in and order some food for her.
Jason didn't bother to say anything, he simply went into the kitchen, grabbed one of the take-out menus from off the fridge and placed an order. His only worry was that, the food he ordered would not be what she wanted, but if that turned out to be the case, he could phone another one, hopefully Sonny would be gone by then and then she could tell him what he wanted, of course it all came down to whether or not she liked what he ordered…
He returned to a silent living room. Sonny watched Elizabeth, his dimples flashing periodically. Elizabeth sat on the couch, her hands playing gently over the almost nonexistent bump that was their child.
As soon as Jason took a seat beside her, their eyes locked and without a word said, both understood what the conversation ahead was going to pertain to. Elizabeth nodded her approval, she knew Jason trusted Sonny with his life, and at times that made Elizabeth wonder, but she knew she could trust him as well. So she sat back and allowed Jason to explain what was going to be transpiring over the next couple of weeks.
