Roundabouts and Surprises | TAGGED

[Deleted]

They were coming back from running an array of errands, she knew it could be a headache to get your name legally changed after getting married, but she did not know that it would cause an actual headache. She was ready to be home, and with her head hurting and Chicago having its usual cluster duck of traffic, she was glad Lucas was driving. "Next time we should go try that Thai food place, the one that everyone seemed to know about but also sounds like a hole in the wall." she said as she looked down at her phone. Tucking her phone under her leg she reached for her purse and went digging for a bottle of advil, thankfully she still had some in the little bottle. Meg was midway shaking two pills out when she happened to glance up just as Lucas was driving right past the turn that would take them back to their apartment. "You do realize we live that way?" she asked with a tilt of her head, "And there are no easy routes past here to get o there...and you didn't even make an effort to get over." she kept talking as she went back to messing with the bottle. The car suddenly hit a bump causing the second pill she had been trying to get out to end up on the floor, letting her temper get the best of her. Meg roughed screwed the bottle cap back on and tossed her purse on the floor, "I'll just wait till we get home." she muttered as she crossed her arms over her chest.

Lucas was driving,he knew Meg wasn’t feeling well but he had a surprise for her. He hadn’t told her about the house he had bought. It was one she hadn’t seen; so he might get smacked but he knew it had all of the things they had talked about. Except the garage was a bit on the small side. His car could stay on the driveway until he got the addition built.

“That sounds like a plan.” He agreed with her as he passed the turn to go to their house. They had been out so much of the day they had the dog with them. So it wasn’t like they had to go and let the dog out before he showed her the new house. He saw the pills drop on the ground; the bump had been from him slamming on the brakes since the car beside them had decided to cut them off.

Lucas reached over and grabbed the bottle from her when they got to a stop light. He got some out and handed them to her while they sat at the light.

He was used to her being a grouch at times. “Yeah, I know. I have something to pick up before we head home.” Well it was a total lie. He had nothing to pick up at all. But he wasn’t about to admit that to Meghan. She could be mad at him later for it. He kissed the side of her head just as the light turned green. “It’s worth it. I promise.” Now those five words he hoped he wouldn’t be eating.

“Yeah, I know. I have something to pick up before we head home.” she took the pills from him and quickly downed them not bothering to remind him that she had said she was going to wait, then he mentioned having to make another stop. Where else did he need to go? Meg just sighed and leaned her head back, Charlie lifted his head up from the backseat and nudged it under Megs arm in an attempt to get her to pet him, “It’s worth it. I promise.” Meg reached a hand back and scratched the dog behind his ears, "I sure hope it is, because you know traffic is going to be a pain." Charlie went back to his nap, not really caring where his humans drove because he loved being in the car.

She was quiet for several minutes as he kept driving, she had felt fine when she had woken up, but just like the past several days, she started to feel crummy by mid afternoon, yet she did not have a cold. Of course Lucas would not promise something would be worth the headache of getting stuck in more traffic if, especially when he knew she was not feeling well, if it was not actually worth it. Meg glanced at her husband out of the corner of her eye, "So what are we going to pick up?" she asked.
