Lucas had stopped on the next street over from the house he had just purchased. From there he had blindfolded his wife and explained that she couldn’t see where they were going. Blindfolding Meg was probably going to get him smacked. Not that he really cared. Getting her to keep it on would be another trick entirely.

Once he pulled up to the house, he came over to open her side of the car. Taking her by the arm he made sure she was out of the way of the car door before he closed it. He’d had Stephanie bring the dog over to the house earlier,knowing that the puppy wouldn’t have anyone home this time of day. Plus what better way to walk into the new house and have her puppy greet her? He owed his sister in law.

Her loving husband was up to something, what it was exactly, she did not know just yet but based on the fact that he stopped the car and blindfolded her, she had a feeling she'd be learning what he was hiding soon enough. "I am pretty sure that this is not going to help the fact that I am feeling nauseous." she told him as she felt the car continue moving.

The next time they stopped, she had no idea where they were, Lucas came around to her side of the car and helped her out and steadying her because she could not see anything. With Lucas guiding, they started walking forward again, "If I trip and fall...I am taking you down with me." she lightly squeezed his arm to get her point across.

Feeling Meghan grabbing his arm, he wrapped an arm around her. He knew she hated being carried but drastic times called for drastic measures. Once he'd carried her princess style into the house he set her down and took off her blindfold. He knew once she realized where she was, that he was probably going to get smacked for taking this house off the market as well as carrying her.

In true Lucas fashion, he held out a key with a smirk on his face. Oh, his wife was likely going to smack him for this one. Lucas whistled and Chester came running as fast as his bulldog legs would carry him. Lucas' accomplice was probably dead too. He'd been with Meg all day, there was no saying he brought the dog 'home'.

"Where are we goin-" her question was cut off as he suddenly lifted her up into his arms, "Damnit Lucas!" she quickly grabbed her husbands shirt, even though she knew he wouldn't be dropping her. She held onto him as he carried her inside their destination and gently set her down, he removed the blindfold and when her eyes adjusted to the change in lighting, she realized he was holding up a house key. Then he whistled and she heard the pattering of four little feet running down the hall.

Chester came around the corner, happy to see the two of them. "Lucas...why is he here?" she asked as she saw the dog, she glanced around the empty room and realized that they were in a house that Meg had really liked but it had sold before they could even make an offer. "This house went off the market last week..." she looked back to the key Lucas held out and she realized what he had done. "You bought it...and didn't tell me." she lightly hit his arm, "You knew I was upset when it sold and didn't think to tell me that it was you who bought it!" she hit his arm once again before wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him tight.

Lucas was used to Meg wiggling when she was picked up. He knew she hated it but he did it anyway. He was probably walking on thin ice already. First, he’d blindfolded her and now he was carrying her. Then she was just about to find out that he bought a house out from under her. Yeah, he had had better days. But there were also worse ones. He only hoped that Meg didn’t maul him in the process.

Lucas wasn’t about to answer any of her questions right away. Some of them would answer themselves as she adjusted to what was going on. “What fun would there be in TELLING you a surprise Bast?” He remarked just after she smacked him in the arm. He wrapped his arms around her waist and smirked down at her.

He wasn’t really sure what else to tell her. He’d already arranged for a moving truck and most of their stuff was already packed since they didn’t want to bother packing too much after they had bought a new place. “I took tomorrow off to finish packing up the house.” He noted kissing her on the forehead.

They had discussed moving into an actual house long before they even moved to Chicago, and they had planned on getting one not long after they arrived, but the incident with both her siblings ending up in the hospital and the actual work of finding a house, things got delayed. But that did not stop them from looking, driving around looking and when they had some downtime browsing houses online.

Now they actually had a house, a place to call their own, where they could actually start a life together. “What fun would there be in TELLING you a surprise Bast?” for a brief second she glanced away from him, some surprises you eventually had to share, because you couldn't keep it a surprise much longer.  When he mentioned that he was off work tommrow she looked up at him and smiled, "You've really covered all the bases." she replied, "I have a doctors appointment mid afternoon, but after that I am free." she looked around the room they stood in, still trying to wrap her head around the fact that they now had a house. Her moment of bliss was quickly interrupted as she felt her stomach start doing somersaults again, knowing she was probably going to be sick, and not wanting to have it happen on their new floors, Meg let go of Lucas and took off down the hallway towards the bathroom. Chester soon followed and watched as Meg lost her lunch in the toilet.

Lucas didnt fail to notice Meg look away from him for a moment. He was observant like that. Then she mentioned a doctor’s appointment and then there was the whole getting sick thing. He sighed following not far behind Chester. He moved her hair out of the way and put one hand gently on her back. Lucas hadn’t failed to notice this was not the first day of her being sick, he just… kept quiet about things. If she wasn’t out to share he wasn’t going to drag it out of her.

Though he had a pretty good idea of what was going on. While his doctorate wasn’t in medicine, he had studied the human body at various stages. ”You need rest.” He gave her a look. ”The pull out couch is upstairs.” He decided that he’d probably get struck for picking her up though that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to think about it. He knew how Meg could be stubborn.

Her stomach finished doing its business and she frowned as she felt the sour taste of the aspirin she had taken earlier, medicine didn't taste good going down and it seemed to taste even worse coming up half digested. Meg rested her head on her arm as Lucas rubbed her back, ”You need rest...The pull out couch is upstairs.” he sounded like her older brother sometimes, always looking out for everyone. Meg shook her head, "It will pass, just give me a minute." she told him as she lifted her head up. Chester came into the bathroom and flopped down on the floor beside Meg, Once the nausea passed she usually ended up hungry, a weird combination that she was finding annoying. Looking up to her husband she gave him a small smile, "What are the chances that we get a new house and I learn I am pregnant in the same week?" she asked.

Lucas stayed with Meg, and continued to try and figure out what she needed. To be honest, he knew she hadn't been herself lately. If she didn't want rest, he still wouldn't give in. "All the more reason that you need rest." He replied to her comment about being pregnant. Lucas gave her a stern look. It was protective in nature.

"The same chance I already suspected as much last week." He‘d not failed to notice that his wife had been out of sorts lately. He normally would get rough with her in a protective manner but when she was sick like this, there were wiser decisions.

Meg was resting her head on the edge of the toilet when he mentioned noticing something a week ago, she lifted her head up and shot her husband a look, "You noticed something a week ago and didn't say anything?" she asked him, of course he'd would have noticed something, he was a doctor and he knew Meg well enough to pick up when something was off. "Most expectant fathers say something happy when their wives mention whats going on...you just basically said "I know."" she told him as she pulled herself to her feet, once she was standing Meg took a breath and looked to her husband, "You're beside manner is a tad rusty, Dr. Murphy." she added with a smile.

Lucas ran a hand behind Meg’s head gently when she came up and stood beside him. It was only then that he chose to speak. “I wanted you to be ready to give me the news.” He knew how Meg could be. She wouldn’t always say anything. Lucas pushed some hair behind her face. “It’s a good thing I make drugs and not prescribe them then.” He reminded her looking down towards her. “To be honest, I am in shock and don’t really know what to say.” He admitted. No he could think of a million reasons why he was going to be a terrible dad. There was a huge fear of making the same mistakes his own father had made. Lucas picked Meg up gently and set her up on the bathroom counter. He smiled towards her, he really was happy about things he just was more afraid of screwing their kid up. Lucas wasn’t exactly the poster child for Mr. Do things right.

It was another reason why she loved him, while he knew Meg liked to push herself, she was not always okay with others doing the pushing. And pushing her to talk about something was not the way to go about things. You were running a risk by pushing her to talk, like her older sister Stephanie, Meg was liable to go off on you. “I wanted you to be ready to give me the news.” for that she was thankful. They had never really talked about kids, mostly because neither of them had never really thought about being parents.

Yes she had grown up with a house full of kids and loved her nieces and nephews, but that was different than being a parent of you own tiny human. “To be honest, I am in shock and don’t really know what to say.” Meg shrugged, she had an idea why he was apprehensive about becoming a parent, he did not need to compare himself to his dad, and as much as she hated him doing so, he still did it. She knew how he could be, while his father had been a looser asshole, Lucas was the opposite (yes he still had his moments). "I do not really know what an expecting father is supposed to say, but I think you're going to be a good dad." she told him as she gave him a hug.

There was some things Lucas had learned by trial and error and other things that would never get through his thick skull, but he cared so he paid attention to certain things. He, like Meg, didn’t like to be pushed to talk. This was something that had been one of the easier lessons to learn. That was if he talked about anything at all. Most of the time, he simply didn’t talk. Time stood still and while he outlet emotion, he didn’t necessarily say. He knew that Meg was much the same.

Lucas hugged her close to him and kissed the top of her forehead. “And you are going to be a wonderful mom.” Lucas rubbed her back and smiled down at her. “Do you want anything?" He had a feeling that she was either going to be hungry or not want to be anywhere near food. He also thought maybe rest could do her some good but he knew better than to push her into something she didn’t want. He couldn’t help the worry despite what she’d said. The only male influence he didn’t hate in his life, was his brother. They were still at odds with each other. He wasn’t sure he was ready to talk to Braden just yet.

Her parents where going to freak out...somewhat. Mostly because of the fact that they still did not know that Meg had gotten married and they really didn't know that she had been dating someone for the past few years, so when she told them she had married a cute hot headed doctor with a nice ass...she also had to slide in that he had knocked her up. “Do you want anything?" Meg shook her head, after getting sick her stomach was calm for once, "I am fine right now, but be honest, what do you hope it is?" she replied, "And don't tell me "I just want it to be healthy." because we both want that." even though she'd take whatever the universe gave her, she could not help but dread the payback that karma would give her if she had a daughter, lord knows how much headache she gave her parents.
