Chpt 11

Morning had came, and Lilly hadn't spoken to Alex since that night. She was in the kitchen sipping on a cup of coffee before her and Junior headed up to the mountains. Alex walked in and noticed her drinking coffee, she walked over near her and poured herself a glass.

"Lilly, look.." she began to say.

"I don't want to talk about last night" Lilly cut her off.

"I was only telling you the truth, and you know it."

Lilly rolled her eyes and poured her cup out.

"Junior and I are leaving we won't be back for a while, just so you know" she walked out and headed into her room.

The lie stressed her out more than anything. She pushed the hair out of her face and sat on the bed.

Alex was standing in front of the kitchen window and saw Kerry and Kris not too far away. She saw them smiling and holding hands, happy. It didn't matter how much she cared for him, he was with Kris.

Lilly gathered her suitcase and headed to the door, she saw Junior was outside. He walked up to the steps but before even knocking she had opened the door and walked out.

"There's no rush you know" he said helping her with her bag.

"I just want to get away from here" she said and loaded her bag inside the car. Kerry and Kris walking to their house noticed them,

"You two heading off?" Kerry asked. Junior looked up,

"Yeah going away for a bit" He said shutting the trunk.

"To the Mountains" Lilly spoke cuddling close to Junior. Kris eyed them,

"He's such a romantic" she said and kissed him. Junior seemed to be please with how things were going.

"Sounds great, I'm sure you two will have fun" Kris said smiling. Her and Kerry headed off to the house.

Junior and Lilly had been on the road for about an hour.

"Everything alright?" he asked.

"Fine, just my sister, she was such a bitch last night"

"What happened?" She kept from saying anything about Kris,

"Nothing, it's just Alex being Alex"

"You sure that's all?"

"Her and Kerry, they had this fling, and then she thought she was pregnant and trying to ruin my life by saying.." she stopped, she wish she could take back all what she said.

Junior had slowed down on the road that led to their cabin.

"What? When did this happen"

Now wishing she hadn't spoke a word,

"A few years ago" she lied

"She brought it up, because she wants a kid really bad, but hasn't found that right guy" she hoped, he'd buy the story.

"Well I guess, Kris being pregnant with his baby, and seeing that has to suck" he looked away for a second, because he knew how she felt.

"Yeah, turns out she wasn't pregnant though" taking a deep breath in, she felt relieved. Slowly entering the drive, they stepped out of the vehicle.

"Fresh snow" she said smelling the air. Junior rushed to her and picked her up. Spinning in the snow, he gave her a kiss.

"I love you" he said. She stared romantically into his eyes.

"I love you too" she kissed him, passionately.

"Well we should get inside before we freeze" she laughed as he put her down.

They headed inside the house.

"I'll make some hot chocolate" Lilly said, taking her scarf and hat off.

"OK, I'll get started on the fire" he smiled.

She went into the kitchen, grabbing two cups. Pouring the coco mix into cups, she stirred the hot water.

"Any marshmallows?" she asked

"Sure" he said.

He had stuck the wood inside and backed a bit away from it. Lilly came walking into the living room, she placed the cups down on the table near them and sat down.

"Mmm. Thank you" he said taking a sip.

"This is pretty great" she said taking a look around. Junior looked around too, then back to Lilly.

"Yeah it is" he kissed her. They placed their cups on the table. Him pressing his lips against her. She broke away for a second, then began unbuttoning his shirt. They began moving toward the floor, as they undressed each other.

She laid on his chest, her back facing the fire.

"You know kids would be nice in the future" he said. She lifted her head off his chest, and looked up at him. The truth was he was already a dad, and he didn't even know it. As usual she kept the thought in the back of her mind.

"Yeah, they would" she said sitting up, with the blanket wrapped around her.

"I've always, wanted a little girl, of course a boy would be nice too" she said brushing the hair out of her face.

"As long as the baby is healthy" she looked away from him. Her lies couldn't go on anymore, she wish she could get the nerve to tell him.

"You okay?" he asked noticing, the uneasy look on her face.

"Fine" she smiled and laid back down.

Back at the hospital.

She looked in through the window, Kerry and Kris holding their new baby girl. He thought it was his child, but it wasn't.

"Hey" Junior said bringing a cup of coffee to her.

"Hey, thanks" she said taking a sip.

"It's really a miracle. I mean her being born so young, but she's healthy" she glanced over at Junior, who had his eyes on her.

"Yeah, it is, but your right she's healthy and that's all that counts" he took a hold of her hand.

Alex had finally gotten the nerve to come up to their room. She slowly walked to the window, it was more difficult than she thought to see them together.

Lilly turned to notice her walking near.

"Could you give me and my sister some time alone?" she asked him softly.

He turned to see her walking,

"Sure" he said kissing her on the forehead. He decided to go pay Dani a visit.

"How are you?" she asked.

"I got the nerve to come up here" she looked away.

"That's about as good as I am" she spoke.

"I'm sorry" Lilly said, giving her sister a hug.

"It must be hard" she said. Alex took a deep breath, she restrained herself from shedding a tear. Only the weak would cry. She broke away from the hug,

"I shouldn't be upset, I've known about this for six months" she wiped the tear that began to fall down her cheek.

"Junior, isn't that happy either. I could tell it hurts him, but he's accepted it and you will soon too."

They stood staring into the window, when they noticed Kris motioning for them to come in.

They walked inside, Alex hesitated at first but realized she had to.

"Where's Junior?" Kris asked.

"He went to go see Dani, he should be back soon though."

Kris looked out the window hoping of seeing his presence soon.

Junior soon arrived, Lilly stepped out for a minute.

She saw Dani filing some files.

"Looks like you and I could be sisters soon" she said cheerfully. Dani rolled her eyes and slammed the filing cabinet shut.

"Don't be so cheerful" she gave her an evil look.

"I have every right to be" she said smiling.

"I don't see anything on your finger. Junior belongs with Kris" she said placing some papers into a file.

"Well incase you haven't noticed, Kris is with Kerry with their child, Junior and I are together now."

"Just because she had a baby doesn't mean anything. She can always break off her engagement to Kerry. You'll see two people in love end up together" Dani stormed off from Lilly.

Lilly held back all her anger, soon her and Junior would marry. Dani had finish assisting a patient and headed back to her desk.

Seeing Lilly still there.

"Don't you have to go seduce my brother or something?" she asked sarcastically.

"He's seeing the baby now, after all he did help deliver her" she sat back leaning on the desk.

"Yes he did, every more right for them to be together, I've had enough of you. I'm going on a break" she headed down the hall. Lilly decided to do a little snooping. She followed her down the hall. Dani entered a room. There was a small part of the door window that wasn't covered. She crept down low, to see Dani being a bit more comfortable than she should.

An evil grin appeared on her face.
