Disclamer : The only Lilly I own is my rabbit
Chapter 12: Six month anniversery
For the past six months Lilly's and Scotty's relationship had grown and they were both deliriously happy. Neither of them had felt this way about anyone before and they had grown even closer never spending a night apart unless it was because of work. Lilly awoke on the morning of their six month anniversary and rolled over seeing Scotty was still asleep she kissed him on the cheek.
"Mornin gorgeous" he said sleepily
"Morning" she said snuggling up to him as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Happy anniversary baby" he kissed the top of her head
"Happy anniversary to you too" she said raising her head off his chest to kiss him.
"Wish we didn't have to go to work today" He sighed "much rather stay in bed with you" He kissed her again.
"I am going to get some coffee, you want some" she asked rolling to her side of the bed.
"Yeah that be great thanks" He replied and she moved to get up. As soon as she was up she felt a wave of nausea wash over her and she sat back on the bed. "You okay Lil?" he asked moving behind her and rubbing her shoulder.
"Just don't feel well today" She said softly
"Maybe you should stay home I can tell boss you're not well" He said soothingly
"No I'll be fine" Lilly said standing up again and moving to the kitchen.
Scotty sighed he knew he have a snowball's chance in hell getting Lilly to stay home when she was sick. He remembered the last time she had the flu she had to be dragged home by Kat because she refused to leave. He got up and followed her to the kitchen "You want something to eat babe?" he asked going over to the fridge to get the milk out for his cereal.
"No, I fine not really hungry" she lied she was starving but she felt so sick she didn't know if she would be able to keep down water let alone food. When they arrived at the precinct a little over an hour later Lilly's nausea had worsened and after putting her bag down at her desk she made a quick dash to the bathroom. Seeing her run to the bathroom concerned Scotty he was annoyed that she didn't stay home even though he had insisted several times before they left his apartment resulting in a fight because Lilly refused and told him to stop treating her like an invalid. Scotty watched her come out of the bathroom and wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, that dose it he thought if she won't listen to me I tell Boss he'll make her go home. Scotty got up and walked over to Stillman's office and knocked.
"Yes?" he answered looking up when Scotty pushed open the door "What is it Scotty?"
"Boss Lil's not feelin good and she won't listen to me when I tell her to go home I thought maybe she would listen if you ordered her to" he asked sheepishly "I am really worried bout her" Stillman looked at the younger detective and sighed removing his glasses "I doubt she'd even listen to me Scotty" he said knowing how stubborn she could be when it came to work.
"Can you at least try Boss I don't want her to get worse, It's our anniversary today and I kinda wanted to take her out somewhere special but if she not feelin well..." he trailed off looking out through the glass of Stillman's office to the bull pen watching Lilly desperately trying to fight off another wave of nausea.
"Send her in but if I were you I but somewhere out of the firing range when she gets out" Stillman said wisely and Scotty nodded "Yeah thanks Boss"
Scotty moved to Lilly's desk "Boss wants a word with you Lil" he said and he moved off before she could say anything to him. Lilly walked in to his office looking curiously at her Boss "What's up?" She asked feeling as though the room was spinning she grabbed hold of the chair opposite him in the vain hope she didn't look as ill as she felt.
"I think you need to go home Lil you don't look well at all" Stillman began a look of concern etched on his face as he started to see what Scotty was talking about.
"I feel fine Boss, has Scotty been saying something to you I was not feeling well this morning but I am fine now" she said attempting a smile
"Bullshit Lil I am sending you home and that's an order" he said sternly
Lilly sighed and shook her head but she knew that Stillman wouldn't back down and if she was honest with herself she was relieved as another wave of nausea washed over her.
"Fine I'll go but I comming back tomorrow" she stated
"You are not to come in till you feel better and I mean it, If I see you in before than you fired" he said looking back down at his paperwork.
Lilly stormed out of his office and grabbed her bag and headed for home. Once she got there she had barely gotten through the front door when she felt sick again running to her bathroom and only just making it. She sank back against the cool tiled wall and closed her eyes feeling miserable. She finally managed to peel herself off the floor and collapse into bed not even bothering to change her clothes and there she fell into a deep sleep not even waking when Scotty came in to check on her a few hours later. She awoke to the smell of something delicious cooking away down stairs in her kitchen and rolled over seeing Scotty's jacket over the chair in the corner smiled at least he was home now and as she got up she felt much better and not to mention starving so she set off to investigate that wonderful smell permeating from downstairs. He heard he approaching and smiled comming out to the living room to intercept her before she could see into the kitchen "Close your eyes Lil" he said warmly
"Why?" she asked
"Cause it's a surprise for our anniversary" he stated
She rolled her eyes then shut then and he lead her through the kitchen and helped her sit down at the small table. "You can open them now" he said joyfully and her mouth fell open as she noticed the candles and white table cloth adorning her little table and in the corner a large bunch of long stemmed red roses. "Oh Scotty this look amazing thankyou she said and he lowered his head to kiss her "Your welcome beautiful, I wanted to take you out for our anniversary but seeing as how you weren't feelin well I thought we would stay in and I cooked you your favourite.....Lasagne" He said taking the cover off the dish in front of her and as soon as the smell hit her clamped her hand to her mouth and ran out of the room straight for the bathroom with Scotty right behind her. "Jesus Lil, You okay?" he asked sweeping her hair out of her eyes as he knelt down beside her " Lasagne normally doesn't make you feel sick" He rubbed her back as she vomited again. She sank back against him tears forming in her eyes "I am sorry Scotty I have ruined your dinner" she sniffed
"Nah Lil you didn't I just wish you were feelin better babe, is there anything I can do?" he asked lightly kissing her forehead. She shook her head
"No, I just think I need sleep" she said standing up
He nodded and he gently lifted her up into his arms and carried her back to the bedroom. The next morning she woke up feeling worst. Scotty heard her in the bathroom and got up to check on her.
"I think you should go see a doctor Lil" he said kneeling next to her pulling her into his arms and she nodded.
"I was going to make an appointment this morning" she said weakly he kissed the back of her head
"Want me to go with you?" he asked into her hair
"No, go to work I call you later"
He nodded reluctantly and stood up pulling her up with him.
"You call me as soon as you know anything okay, I love you Lil"
"I love you to Scotty"
Lilly made an appointment with her doctor for later that morning and Scotty headed off to work. He tried to work but his mind kept drifting back to Lilly the entire morning he wasn't so sure about her going alone he was starting to get worried about her when he realised her appointment had been hours ago and she still hadn't called him. He reached for his phone and dialled her number and when he got her voice mail he knew something was up she never turned her phone off. He tried her at the house and got the answering machine now he was panicking but surely if they had to take her to hospital or something she would have called him. He grabbed his coat and telling Nick he was going to check on Lilly he left. When he got to her apartment he noticed her car out the front and he was confused if she was home how come she didn't answer the phone.
"Lil, baby you home?" he called as he opened the door and he heard her in the kitchen so he made his way in there stopping short when he saw her red puffy eyes, she'd been crying and his blood ran cold it was something serious "Baby what's wrong" he came to her side and she pointed at the chair indicating for him to sit down which he did. She wiped her eyes and sat down opposite
"I need t tell you something" She said softly and Scotty had trouble hearing it over her quiet sniffs
"Okay"
"I went to the doctor and well he ran some tests" he reached out and grabbed her hand.
"Lil whatever it is just tell me" his heart was pounding
"I am pregnant" she said tears welling up in her eyes
"You're pregnant "he repeated
Lilly nodded and dissolved into tears again, A smile broke out on his face "Your gonna have a baby" he said tears starting to form in his own eyes.
"I am sorry" she said not looking at him
"What are you apolgizin for Lil, this is the best news I have ever gotten" he got up and moved over to her wrapping his arms around her "Why aren't you happy Lil, We are gonna be parents" she sobbed even harder
"I can't be a mother Scotty, Look at my own childhood I'd screw it up and that's not fair to kid" he lifted her chin so he could look her directly in the eyes.
"Lil you won't screw it up trust me, you'll make a great mother" he pressed a kiss to her forehead "I love you so much" he said his voice muffled against her skin.
"Really" she said wiping a tear away from her eye.
"Absolutely" he said
She smiled "I love you so much Scotty" her hand moving over her stomach.
