Surprises
Chapter 4
Author's Note: I totally forgot about this story, I was going through my documents and found this chapter. I thought since what is going on with the story right now, we need something happy.
It was three days before Christmas, and Laura was coming home today, Lucky wanted everything to be ready for her. He wanted everything perfect. " Cameron, pick up your toys." Lucky said.
Cameron looked at Lucky. " These toys are out for grandma to play with me. and the books for her to read to me."
Lucky walked up to Cameron. "Cameron, I know you have lots of stuff to show grandma, but we don't want her to get worn-out on her first day home."
Cameron nodded. "But we can make a snowman though right?" Lucky put his arms around Cameron. "Of course you can."
Elizabeth then walked through the door. "Sorry I'm late." she said. " I know you want to go and pick your mom up."
"Its fine, Elizabeth." Lucky replied. "Cameron is all ready to go."
Cameron shakes his head. "I'm not ready, Daddy." Cameron said, as he run up the stairs.
"How are you feeling?" Lucky asked, as he put his arms around her. "Do you need to sit down?"
Elizabeth laughed at Lucky. "I'm pregnant, I'm not sick." He grinned at her. "I wasn't with you when you were pregnant with Cameron, I don't know anything about pregnancy. This is all new to me."
Elizabeth grinned. "I know it is." Cameron then runs down the stairs.
"No running down the stairs." Lucky replied, sternly Cameron runs to Lucky. "Sorry, daddy. I made this for grandma." he said, as he handed it to Lucky. It was a picture that said Welcome home grandma.
Elizabeth smiled at her son. "It's beautiful. Now let's go before we are late." Elizabeth said, as she grabbed Cameron's jacket and helped him put it on.
Cameron looked at Lucky and Elizabeth. "Can we pick up a tree on the way home?"
"Sure," they said, as they headed out of the house.
Laura was sitting in her room when Kevin Collins walked into the room. "Kevin?" she said. He looked at her. "Hi Laura. I've talked to your doctor, how would you feel about going home permanently? I know they don't think that you are ready yet, but I think it will do great going home. As long as you do therapy sessions with me at GH"
"Of course I would." Laura replied.
Lucky nodded on the door. "Did I just hear that you are coming home for good?" he asked.
Laura nodded. "Kevin got the doctors to let me go home for good"
"But only if your mom sticks with her therapy sessions."
Lucky looked at his mom and smiled. . "I'll make sure that she does, Dr. Collins."
Kevin then hugged Laura. "Merry Christmas, Laura," he said, as he walked out of the room.
"So are you ready?" Lucky asked. "Cameron and Elizabeth are waiting in the car, we are going to go and pick out a tree. I hope you don't mind going to do that."
"Of course not," Laura replied. "I missed out on so much stuff. I want to be there for everything. Even the little things," she said, as she hugged her son. "Come on let's go and find a tree for your family."
Laura looked at Lucky, and sighed. She missed so much of her son's life, he has his own family but that doesn't mean that she could be there for him now.

Christmas Day,
Laura was staying at Lucky's and Elizabeth for the night, and she was making a snowman with Cameron when Lulu walked up to them. Cameron runs towards Lulu. "Auntie Lulu.. I'm making a snowman with Grandma. She's home from the hospital to stay for good. She can play with me all the time."
Elizabeth walked up to Cameron. "Cameron… it's time to get clean up for dinner. Everybody will be here soon." Elizabeth said, as she looked at Laura and Lulu. She knew that they need some time to talk.
"Can't I make a snowman with Auntie Lulu?" Cameron asked.
Elizabeth smiled at her son. "Later"
Lulu turned to Cameron. "I'll be here for hours, we can make two snowmen, how does that sound?"
Cameron hugged Lulu. "Can we make it as big as the one that grandma and I did?"
Lulu nodded. "Of course we can." she said, as Cameron and Elizabeth walked into the house. Lulu looked at her mom. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm doing well." Laura said, as she hugged Lulu. "Are you doing okay?" Lulu looked at her mom. "It's just so weird to have you here."
"I know, Lulu." Lulu looked at Laura. "I don't know how I am supposed to act towards you?"
"Don't worry about that, Lulu. It will take time." Laura replied, as she smiled at her daughter. "Do you know how proud I am of you? You have grown into a wonderful woman." Lulu started to cry. "Mom." she said.
Lucky opened the door was about to tell them to come in when he saw both of them crying and hugging each other and knew that they would come in when they were ready.
Later that night,
Elizabeth walked into the room, and got ready for bed, and then climbed into the bed with Lucky. "Cameron was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as your mom started to read to him. I'm sorry that he wants your mom to do so much stuff with him today "
Lucky smiled, as he put his arms around her. "My mom loves it. She loves Cameron." He then placed a hand on Elizabeth's stomach. "This time next year, we will have two kids." Lucky said, with a smile. "I can't wait for you to come," he said, as he talked to Elizabeth's stomach.
"Oh really. You are telling me that you can't wait to do the diapers?" Elizabeth laughed.
"Diapers?" Lucky said, laughing. "Did you hear what your mom said she wants me to do your diapers? I don't think so."
"Of course you will, Lucky," Elizabeth said, as she leaned over and kissed him. "I'll make sure that you do." She then moved closer to him.
"Elizabeth," Lucky then saw that she had fallen asleep. "Goodnight," Lucky said, as he turned the light off, and went to sleep.

A few months,
Elizabeth and Lucky were at the hospital waiting to see Dr. Meadows for their ultrasound.
"Mommy…" Cameron said, as he run towards them, Laura was right behind him. "I tried to get him to go to the park, but he wanted to come and see his baby brother."
"So you think it will be a boy?" Lucky said, as he walked up to Cameron. Cameron smiled. "Of course, I don't want a girl, they are gross."
Elizabeth laughed at her son. "No they are not."
"Yes they are." Cameron said.
"I'm a girl." Elizabeth said, laughing.
"So am I" Laura replied, as she sat down.
"You're not a girl. You're my mommy and grandma. You're not gross." Cameron said, as he sat on Elizabeth's lap. "So when is the baby coming?"
"Not for many months." Lucky replied, as he held Elizabeth's hand. Cameron looked at Lucky. "I don't want to wait that long."
"You have to, honey." Elizabeth said. "But it will come fast, and then you will be a big brother and that is a big responsibly."
"Trevor is a big brother and he says that the baby cries all the time. Is this baby going to cry?"
Elizabeth smiled at her son, asking her all these questions. "Yes, Cameron. All babies cry."
"I didn't did I?" Cameron said, with this smile on his face.
"You cry too, Cameron," Laura said." Even your daddy cry."
"You mean every baby cries. I don't think I want this baby now." Cameron said, as he run off. Laura looked at them. "I'll go and find him."
Elizabeth nodded. "Thank you."
The nurse looked at Elizabeth. "Dr. Meadows can see you now." Elizabeth and Lucky followed the nurse towards the room.
A few minutes later,
Elizabeth was lying on the bed. Dr. Meadows walked inside, and smiled at them and started to do the ultrasound. Lucky was holding her hand, and couldn't believe his eyes when the image appeared on the screen. That was his daughter or son. It was the most amazing thing that he has even seen before. Elizabeth looked at Lucky and saw a single tear falling down his cheeks.
"It's amazing, isn't it?"
"That's our son or daughter," Lucky said, with a smile. Dr. Meadows looked at them. "Do you want to know if you are having a boy or girl?"
Lucky and Elizabeth looked at each other, and both said yes. Dr. Meadows then smiled at them.
"You are having a girl."
