Chapter 9:
After three weeks of intense physical training and long hours spent in tedious lectures, Scotty was finally had graduated the FBI academy. Special Agent Carter had called him to congratulate him and told him that he'd be starting the following week and to report to the FBI headquarters in Philly first thing.
He was both excited and nervous to be starting a new job, especially since he'd still be coming into contact with some of the guys from the force, not all of whom were happy that he was becoming a G-man.
Lilly met him at the airport with the kids in tow. When Scotty appeared from the gangway, Laura pulled out of her mother's grip and ran full pelt towards him.
"Daddy!" she cried happily
Scotty grinned and squatted down, scooping his daughter up into his arms, pressing kisses to her cheeks.
"Hey baby" Scotty replied "Daddy missed you princesa"
He carried her back over to the rest of his family and lowered her back down to the floor.
"Hey you" Scotty whispered, pressing a kiss to his wife's lips "I missed you"
Lilly grinned, wrapping her free hand around the back of Scotty's head, her fingers threading through his hair "I missed you too"
"How are my boys doing?" Scotty asked, looking down at his sons.
"Alright, glad your back" Matthew replied
"Yeah, we missed you too" James added.
"Let's get outta here" Scotty said as he took his daughter's outstretched hand in one of his and wrapped his free arm around Lilly's waist as they walked out of the airport.
Scotty tucked the children in that night, savouring this special time that he could spend with his children. He missed them so much and being able to the simplest thing like tucking them in was heaven for him.
Lilly smiled as her husband appeared in their bedroom and she walked up to him, sliding her arms around his neck "I love you" Lilly whispered
"I love you too and I missed being able to do this….." he lowered his head and captured her lips.
Lilly closed her eyes, allowing her senses to be invaded by him, feeling his hands on her hips and his tongue against her own.
Scotty groaned and started to walk her backwards to the bed, just when he was about to lower her to the mattress she felt a wave of nausea and she pushed him away.
"Lil, are you alright?"
Lilly paused, shook her head and pushed passed him running into the bathroom, slamming the door.
"Baby, are you alright?" All he could hear through the door was the sound of Lilly being sick. Concerned he pushed open the door and found Lilly doubled over the bowl, vomiting and retching "dear God Lil, what's wrong?"
She wiped the back of her hand across her mouth shakily and sat up "I don't know, I wasn't feeling well this morning but this is the first time I've been sick"
Scotty lifted his hand to feel her forehead "you don't feel like you got a temperature" he murmured. Lilly groaned and bent over the toilet again "I'm gonna go get you a glass of water"
When Scotty returned, Lilly was leaning against the bathtub, her head in her hands.
"Here" He handed her the glass and she took a rather large gulp.
"Thanks" she murmured
Scotty sat down beside her, rubbing her back "You feel any better?"
Lilly shook her head "not really"
"I'm sorry, come on I'll help you into bed so you can get some sleep"
Lilly nodded and slowly stood up and followed Scotty back into the bedroom and over to the bed.
Scotty helped her out of her clothes and handed her an old t-shirt for her to sleep in "get some sleep Querida"
She lifted up the blankets and slid into the warmth of her bed "I'm sorry I ruined our night"
Scotty grinned and shook her head, pressing a kiss to her cheek "Its fine, you're not well, it's not your fault"
He watched as she slowly closed her eyes and sighed deeply, watching her breathing even out as she fell asleep.
Quietly as he could, Scotty stripped down to his boxers and climbed into bed beside his wife, wrapping his arms around her waist. He pressed one last kiss to the back of her neck and closed his eyes, falling asleep himself almost instantly.
Scotty was awoken by something in the middle of the night and as he opened his bleary eyes he noticed that Lilly was no longer in bed with him. The light was coming from underneath the bathroom door and judging by the sounds coming from behind the closed door, she was being sick again.
Now he was really concern about her, he was going to take her to the hospital whether she wanted to or not. Scotty climbed out of bed and padded bare foot across the bedroom and pushed open the door.
"Lil, are you still not feeling well?" Lilly shook her head "I'm taking you to the hospital"
"I'm fine Scotty, I don't need the hospital"
Scotty sighed "well at least go see the doctor"
Lilly shook her head again, flushed the toilet and moved over to the sink to splash some water on her face "I'll be ok" She pulled open the medicine cabinet and was reaching for the aspirin when she noticed another box just above it.
She could have slapped herself, how could she be so stupid.
"I'm such an idiot"
Scotty frowned "What do you mean" Lilly lifted out a pink box from the glass cabinet and showed it to him and realisation hit Scotty like a ton of bricks.
"You think you're pregnant?" he asked as he read the writing on the box she held out to him.
"All the symptoms fit, the nausea, the vomiting and now that I think about I'm about 5 days late and I'm never late"
Scotty smiled "you should take the test"
Lilly nodded "I suppose so"
Scotty cleared his throat "I'll wait outside while you….." he trailed off and Lilly nodded.
Scotty walked back into the bedroom, closing the door behind him and taking a seat on the bed. He glanced at the alarm clock and sighed heavily as he saw the time glowing back at him, 3:45am, he was going to have to get up in a few hours.
Let looked up as he saw Lilly emerging from the bathroom and walk over to him, taking a seat next to him on the bed. They both sat in silence for a few moments and then Scotty chuckled.
"What, what's so funny?" she asked him, looking at her husband curiously.
"I was just remembering when you were about 3 months pregnant with the triplets and you had that weird craving for potato chips dipped in peanut butter"
Lilly smirked "It was good" she protested.
"I'm sure it was you ate it nearly every day for 2 months" she punched his arm which only made him laugh harder.
"You don't get to comment" Lilly replied with a smile.
Scotty leaned over and pressed a kiss to her forehead "I wonder what cravings you'll get this time"
"Don't jinx it we don't even know that we are pregnant yet"
"Call it a hunch" he added cockily and Lilly rolled her eyes as Scotty leaned over to kiss her, sliding his tongue against her lips, requesting entry which she willingly gave him. One hand stole around the back of his head, threading her fingers through his hair.
Lilly moaned softly as he deepened the kiss and with her free hand she pulled herself closer to him.
Scotty pulled away from her, resting his forehead against hers "It's been only been three weeks, but I forgotten just how great it feels to simply kiss you"
Lilly nodded in agreement "I know, me too" Lilly looked over at the alarm clock "I better go check on the test"
She stood up, allowing her hands to fall from his shoulders as she walked into bathroom.
"Well what does it say?" he called out, when he got no response he stood up and followed her into the bathroom "Lil, did you hear me what does it say?" Lilly, didn't answer, instead she stared down at the plastic test in her hand "Lil?"
She looked up at him, tears in her eyes "Oh baby" she said softly "it's alright, we can keep trying"
Lilly grinned "No need, we're pregnant" she said.
Scotty stood speechless for a few moments and then took a step towards her and lifted her up in his arms, spinning her around their small bathroom.
"Scotty, stop, put me down or I'm gonna be sick again"
He lowered her down to the ground and slid his arms around her slender waist "I love you so much"
"I love you too"
Scotty got down on his knees and pressed his lips to her abdomen "and I love you too baby"
Lilly chuckled "I don't think it can hear you yet" she replied
"He's advanced Lil, trust me"
Lilly chuckled again trailing her fingers through his hair he looked up at her, his eyes filled with love and excitement. He slowly stood up again and cupped her cheeks with his hands, his thumbs brushing across her face. "I am so happy right now Lil"
"Me too" Lilly replied "I wanna make an appointment with Dr Palmer, to make sure everything is alright before we tell everyone though"
Scotty nodded "of course Querida" he agreed.
"And I want to tell the triplets first, before anyone"
Scotty grinned "anything you want"
Lilly slid her arms around his waist "right now…" Lilly pressed herself against him "…..I just want you"
He felt his pulse quicken and his loins stirring to life "your wish is my command" Scotty picked her up and carried her over to the bed and lowered her down onto it "you sure you're feeling ok"
Lilly nodded "I feel great, now get down here and kiss me"
Scotty grinned and lowered himself down on top of her.
Scotty woke up just before the alarm and looked across at his gorgeous wife. He leant down and pressed a kiss to her cheek, smiling when her eyes fluttered open.
"Good mornin'" he murmured as he brushed a kiss across her lips.
"Hi" she replied sleepily.
"How you feelin today?"
Lilly sighed "a little nauseous, but I can handle it" Scotty pressed a kiss to her forehead "I am gonna make an appointment with Dr Palmer"
Scotty nodded "I can't wait to see our new baby" he replied, sliding his hand over her abdomen.
Lilly grinned "Me too"
"I better get up and grab a shower. Jack wants to meet up with me before I start work"
"Ok"
Scotty slid out of bed and walked into the bathroom, leaving the door ajar. Lilly lay there, listening to the sounds of water slapping against the tiles and she sighed.
She desperately wanted to go and join him in the shower but she felt terrible again. Morning sickness, she definitely did not miss that.
She sat up slowly and ran a hand through her hair and slowly swung her legs out of bed. He water shut off and Lilly could hear the shower door opening and Scotty filling the bathroom sink, so he could shave. Lilly stood up and walked into the bathroom and leant against the doorframe as she watched him shaving.
Scotty looked at her reflection in the mirror "you feeling alright?"
She nodded "yeah, I'm ok" she replied.
Scotty finished shaving, wiping the excess gel off his face with a hand towel and tossing it into the clothes hamper. "I better get going" Scotty added pausing to press a kiss to the top of her head as he walked passed her.
"I'll drop the kids off at your Mum's on my way to work" Lilly said as she watched him take out a clean white shirt from the closet.
"Ok, thanks"
"I think the dark blue tie with the stripes goes better with that suit" Lilly commented as she crossed back over to the chest of drawers and took out the tie she had suggested, draping it over Scotty's shoulders. She pulled the two ends of the tie down and lowered his head to kiss him "Much better" she murmured against his lips.
Scotty chuckled "If I had the time….." he trailed off and sighed.
She pressed one more kiss to his lips and turned to walk into the bathroom.
