Chapter twenty two: Engagement party
Lilly had been preparing for the party for over a week. Despite Scotty's insistence that he'd cook Lilly had hired a caterer telling him that he have plenty of time to cook for the rest of their lives and because she could barely boil water she wanted a professional to handle all the food. Scotty had also finished work on the nursery, He and Lilly chose a pale yellow colour and they had assembled the two cots and changing tables (after much swearing on the part of Scotty as he tried to decipher the strange instructions). They stood in the middle of the room and looked around "It's perfect" Lilly whispered running her hand over her increasingly large bump.
"They will love it" Scotty said standing behind her his hands on her shoulders.
That night was the party and Lilly spent more than an hour in the bathroom getting ready. "Lil, hurry up everyone will be here soon" Scotty cried as he helped the caterer set up in the kitchen.
"Cool it Scotty I am comming" she said as she came down the stairs. He smiled as he looked up at her, she was wearing a beautiful pale blue dress at highlighted here brilliant blue eyes. "You look gorgeous Lil" he said moving over to his fiancé to kiss her.
"Thanks, I bought this the other day too" she said and he chuckled
"I think I prefer the other outfit but that might be slightly inappropriate for a family dinner" He whispered in her ear.
"I can put it on later" she said playfully and he wriggled his eyebrows at her. There was a knock on the door and Scotty went to answer it as Lilly got herself a glass of water.
"Hey Valens, Congrates where's Rush" Kite asked handing Scotty a bottle of wine
"She's in the kitchen" Scotty said standing back to let Kite in
"Hi Kite" Lilly said happily moving over to him
"Whoa you gotten bigger over the last few hours" He teased
"I may be almost six months pregnant but I can still kick your arse so watch it mister" Lilly replied
Kite laughed and held up his hands in mock surrender. Everybody else slowly arrived over the next few hours and soon Scotty's and Lilly's apartment was filled with friends and relatives. Lilly happily showed them the nursery and all the Ladies where cooing over the tiny clothes and shoes. When Dinner finally was served Lilly slumped into her seat her feet tired and her back aching. Upon seeing Lilly trying to rub her back Scotty smiled.
"I can give you a proper massage later if you want" He whispered seductively in her ear and she grinned.
"You're on" she whispered back and he chuckled. A tinkling of glass made everybody fall silent as Stillman stood up.
"I would firstly like to say congratulations to Lilly and Scotty, They were just partners for five years and now they will partners for life" everybody clapped
"To Lil who I have always considered as my own daughter I am just so happy for you that you will get a chance to have the family you never thought was possible, so to Scotty I say take good care of my girl" Lilly smiled through her tears and Scotty leaned over and kissed her cheek
"Don't worry Boss I intend to" Scotty said placing his hand on Lilly's stomach earning him another kick against his hand.
Ramiro stood up and a hush fell over the crowd again "To my youngest son I would like to say that your mother and I are so proud of you Mi Hijo, You have grown into a fine young man and we know you will pass on such great quality's to your own son. To Lilly I would like to say welcome to the family" Scotty walked around the table and hugged his father
"Thanks Pops" he said
When everybody had gone and Lilly and Scotty had finally fallen into bed Lilly realised that Stillman was right. She was finally going to have the family she had always secretly dreamed of and as she look over at an already asleep Scotty she knew that she couldn't never imagine her life without him in it. "Hey Scotty" she whispered shaking him lightly
"Lil" he said sleepily "Is there something wrong with the babies" he asked sitting up rubbing his eyes
"No, I just forgot to tell you something" she said running a hand through his dishevelled hair
"What?" he asked looking at her with concern
"That I love you" she replied kissing him he smiled against her lips
"I love you too Lil, and you too Issy and Anthony he said kissing her bump.
