Chapter 3: Coming Clean

When we last looked in on Lux, we saw her in court.

Tonight on life Unexpected.

We celebrate Lux's 17th Birthday, and Tasha's release from Juvie, and the whole family learns about Lux's and Eric's Relationship

It's been 1 week since the hearing that took Tasha to Juvie; today is also my 17th birthday, and I want to go and spend time with Eric.

I can't believe he came up to me and told me he loved me. I could tell by the look in his eyes that he actually meant it. I have heard it before, from Bug, but I never actually had someone say it to me and actually mean it. I have loved Eric from the moment he and I were standing on the Ocean Billboard. I mean he, having just met me, was willing to drive me all the way to the ocean to make a decision, he didn't have too. I am glad he did, because if he hadn't I would be the future Mrs. Bug right now.

I was sitting at my desk thinking about how I was going to eventually tell Baze and Cate, that I was seeing Eric, when my phone lit up and 'Minnesota' flashed on it.

"Just the handsome devil I was thinking about" I answered

"Hey Beautiful, what are the odds I can kidnap you for a little bit?" he asked me

"I can be at Tasha's in 20 minutes" I told him getting up and putting a dress and a sweater, a pair of leggings and some slip on shoes.

"Great I have a surprise for you." He told me

"Seeing you is all I need" I truthfully told him

"Well hurry over"

"Be Right There" I said and then hung up.

I went down stairs and Ryan was sitting in the kitchen looking over a stack of Baby Name Books, I guess naming the baby 'Blueberry' is not something he would like to do.

"Hey Kiddo, what are you doing?" Ryan asked looking up from a book, and placing a bookmarker in it.

"Not Much, I'm thinking about taking a walk around town and maybe grabbing some coffee. Are there any prospects for names?" I told him walking over to the fridge and grabbing a bottle of water out I gestured towards Ryan as if asking if he wanted one too. He shook his head yes, and I tossed him one and closed the door to the fridge and walked over to him, and looked over his shoulder at the page he was reading.

"I have been looking for Girl Names, hey now that I got you here, I want to know what you think about being a big sister?" He asked turning to look at me.

"I'm so happy…is it wrong that I want a little brother?" I asked.

"I am so excited to be a dad. Not that I don't count my self lucky to be your step dad Lux, it's just I didn't get to be there from the beginning. Are you mad?" Ryan asked

"No Ryan I am not mad. So come on; out with the name choices." I told him pushing

"I was thinking of the name Alexis Renee Cassidy-Thomas and call her Lexi"

"That sounds like a winner to mean let Cate know I said so…so what about for a boy?" I asked

"What do you think of Ryan Thomas, Jr.?" He asked trying not to sound like an extreme narcissist

"Don't tell anyone but I have always wanted to have a jr. of my own when I have kids. So Ryan Thomas, Jr. is a great name and you can tell Cate that I said that too." I told him

"Alright will do kiddo, well Cate and I have to run to the Store for a little bit So I'll See you tonight…Happy Birthday"

I walked over to Tasha's and let myself in. I was greeted with the most beautiful sight…it was the exact set up that Eric had done for Homecoming that I was not able to make it to. It even had a disco ball and spot light.

"Alright Mister…where are you." I called out and when he didn't answer I walked further into the apartment the lights went out and the spot light shined on the disco ball and the disco ball started to spin.

The Music kicked in next…it was Uncle Sam's Cover of "When I see You Smile" still not finding him I walked towards the center of the room I felt arms go around my stomach and pull me back against a firm body.

"Happy Birthday Baby" he whispered in my ear, after first pulling it to the side, and then kissed my neck.

"Thank you Eric." I turned around and kissed him properly.

"May I have this Dance?" he asked me

"Yes you may" we began to dance and stayed like that for a while

Because it was dark in the apartment except for the disco ball, I tripped and pushed Eric onto the couch.

"If you wanted to be on top all you had to do was ask" he said and then winked at me.

"It was completely an accident but now that I've got you right where I want you I don't know how I feel about giving up home field advantage." I told him bending down to kiss him.

"Well if that is what you want, then far be it for me to object." He rolled us over and took control, and began to kiss my neck.

"Come on I have something I want to show you." He said getting up and reaching his arms out to me to help me stand up. Once I was up, he held my hand and dragged me to Tasha's Bedroom.

"What do you have to show me" I asked and then I let go of his hands so I could wrap my arms around his waist he bent over briefly to grab a folder on Tasha's bed.

"I got my own place…we don't have to use Tasha's place to be together anymore." He said as he turned around to show me the documents.

It was the most beautiful apartment I had ever seen. It was halfway between Cate's & the School.

He got a 1 Bedroom, which means no roommates. That means that we can get more intimate.

"No Roommate" I said and leaned in kissed him.

"Nope…I move in tomorrow…want to help me paint?"

"You really want my help with that? I have absolutely no artistic abilities…Hey you know what we could do first tomorrow?"

"What?"

"Linen shopping" I said shaking my head and grinning

"What? Why?"

"Dude it's your first Apartment on your own don't you want things that says 'hey man I'm not a kid anymore' we can go to Beaverton or someplace that no-one knows us, and go shopping"

"Yea I guess your right."

We talked about his plans for his apartment and even looked online for some ideas too. After about an hour or so of this my phone rang. We were in the living room at this point again. Tasha's desk was over by the window.

It was Baze

"Hey Baze" I said as I answered the phone and gestured to Eric to stay quiet.

"Hey Birthday Girl what do you have going on today? Want to meet me for dinner at Rock Bottom?"

"Sure what time?" I asked

"How about around 7? So what are you doing today?"

"Just hanging out…I went for a walk a little a while ago. Should be heading back to Cate's in a little bit. What about you?"

"Not Much going over Emma's right now so I will catch up with you later kiddo" he said

"Alright later Baze" We hung up and I turned to Eric and pulled him into the bedroom again

(a/n: ok guys this part is not exactly G rated but its not MA or X rated either. I don't write MA or X rated stories. So if reading anything above G rating offends you turn around now.)

"What's up Lux" He asked

"Come in here and find out" I told him as I pushed the bedroom door closed He kissed me and then asked "How much time do we have?" and started to walk us over to the bed I wrapped my legs around his waist and when we go to the bed we fell back onto it with me being on the bottom looking up at him. God do I love him. Those Eyes…they never lie to me.

"About 5 hours…I have to meet Baze at Rock Bottom for dinner" I told him and reached up and pulled his face to mine, and kissed him, while I was kissing him I began to unbutton his shirt, he put his hands on mine as if telling me to stop. He broke our kiss and pulled back to look at me.

"Lux…are you sure about this? I love you and I don't want to see you hurt; I can wait to be with you. You do not need to do this now." And kissed me again, I pulled back so I could look at his eyes again, he eyes lit up with so much love and I knew…that I loved him, and that I want him to make love to me.

"Eric, I love you, I want to be with you, please make love to me." I kissed him and he took this as a sign to move on. He rolled us over so he could lift my dress over my head and toss it on the floor. I continued to unbutton his shirt and rolled us over so he could take his shirt off. Once his button down shirt was off I raise his wife beater up too and he took it off. Once his wife beater and button down shirt joined my dress on the floor I reached behind me and unclasped my bra, and then I undid his belt and started to work the buttons on his pants.

He got up off the bed and pulled his dress slacks off and dropped them with our clothes and then came towards the bed and slowly slid my underwear off and placed them with the clothes too. I sat up and slid his boxers off and then pulled him down on top of me again.

"Are you sure?" He asked as he lined our bodies up.

"Yes." I told him as I pulled his face back to mine and kissed him.

He took that as his sign to enter and he did all the way in one thrust. I moaned into the kiss, never had this felt so good. Bug never was this gentle and never felt this big. Eric hit all the right spots and kept thrusting into me slowly at first but eventually began to pick up speed. After a long while my inner walls began to twitch and tighten around Eric and I knew that I wasn't going to be able to hold on much longer.

"I love you Lux" Eric said as he started to explode inside me. That was all it took and I released too. He kept thrusting and shooting inside me until he was done. He collapsed on top of me when he was done.

"I love you too Eric" I told him as I kissed his neck and shoulder.

We chose to lay like that for a little bit. Eventually Eric got up and went to the kitchen, I went into the bathroom and started to fill the tub and lit the candles that Tasha kept on the back of the tub. That is the one good thing about Tasha's is the big Jacuzzi tub with a large ledge on the side and back. The whole tub, back and side were covered in candles. I climbed in and faced the Bathroom door, when Eric came in he had a wine glass of spike punch for us to share. I wriggled my finger and gave him the signal to come here. He came over and climbed into the tub with me. Once he was in he pulled me back against him and wrapped his arms around me.

"This is the Best Birthday Ever!" I said and wrapped my arms around his arms on my stomach.

"I am glad" he kissed my head and pulled me closer to him.

"Eric…Have you thought about telling anyone were together?" I asked him as I turned my head on his shoulder and looked at him.

"all the time…I want to shout it from the roof top…why have you been thinking about it?" he asked and kissed my neck

"I want to tell Cate and Baze…I want to come clean."

"Do you want to tell everyone today?"

"I was thinking about it…but what if it doesn't work out, and they take you away from me." I asked turning around in his arms and wrapping my arms around his stomach.

"Lux, look at me" he told me, and I looked up at him.

"I love you, and I'll do whatever it takes to stay with you… if they try to keep us apart. We only have to wait 1 year, that's 365 days, we can count them off day by day…like I told you earlier, I can wait to be with you. I would…" He stopped midsentence because his phone rang. But then went back to finish what he needed to say.

"If you would have me,…I would Marry you tomorrow." He said as he looked into my eyes, and kissed me.

Ok guys, I am gonna break it here. Its getting super long and I want to put a post up today. I am so excited to write this story but I kinda want to see how the CW ends the show I want to kind of keep it on the same page.
