She wasn't the only one dazed by the news. Madison however, recovered faster than both girls did. Geegee was having trouble digesting the words the doctor said. Lucille found herself standing in the corner of the room hoping the edge would open up and swallow her. She blinked rapidly, her eyes stinging with tears. A throat cleared. "How long?" "Three months." She answered her mother before she realised it. She turned sharply to look at her daughter backing her. "Give us the room would you?" The doctor nodded and left. "Lucille." She started towards her. Seeing Lucille's body shake as she cried. "Lucille." She reached out for her. "Mom I'm sorry." Lucille turned abruptly. Looking extremely helpless. Madison pulled her into a tight hug. "No no. Shh..." Her voice soothing as she stroked Lucille's hair. Her heart shattered seeing Lucille that way for the first time since she was a little girl. "I'm sorry mom, I didn't-" "It's okay." Lu

Entering into the dust covered house, Lucille dropped the bags she had been carrying on the floor. Looking around and thinking about all the work she'll put into cleaning the place, before heading back out to her car to grab the rest of her things. Every furniture in the livingroom was covered in white sheets. As was the rest of the house. She moved her bags of clothes and groceries to the dinning table, ready to do as much cleaning as she can before- candles. She forgot to get candles. With the power out, she had to get some source of light. And using candles felt like fun. She'd have to keep cleaning to day time. She strode out the door. Maybe a flashlight or two. When she got back it was almost dark out. She pulled off all the white sheets on all the furniture and washed them. Her radio playing music she sang along to. when she was done, she came back into the dark house, lit the candles, found a blanket and snuggled on a chair, staring at the burning candle and thinking a

Madison tapped her index finger against her mouth restlessly. Nina sighed in disapproval of her mother's clear sign of angst. She rolled her eyes. "Oh mom, come on. It's okay to be calm." "I can't help it. I'm not your father. And I am very upset.""Clearly." Nina smiled. "Charles!" She called out. "Could you please ask Mattie to fix mom a drink. Preferably something strong." "Vodka." Quincy spoke. Watching Madison glare at her daughter. "Vodka! For two. Daddy wants one too.""Right away Miss." The door bell was rung on his way back from delivering the message. Charles drew back in surprise. "Miss Lucille." She raised her hand over her mouth, signaling him to be quiet. "Miss Lucille, the whole house has been worried about you." He chose to whisper instead. "There's never been any need to worry Charles. I needed some time to myself. How else would I come back looking so pretty." She kissed his cheeks. "Beyond pretty Miss Lucille."She smiled. "

Inaudible chatter and the subtle sound of cutlery scraping and hitting plates filled the large dinning hall. The table Nick had chosen was a bit hidden from the others. He sat relaxed in his chair, assessing her while she looked at the menu. He couldn't help thinking about how she fired that woman. She doesn't take mistakes lightly, clearly. He could also understand her reason. He smiled; she called him dangerous. The ice cold flame in her. He found out something new every time he met her. He'll have to be careful. Yet, poor Trish. Was that her name? "You didn't have to fire her you know." Lucille put down the menu. Tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "If you feel that bad, you can hire her." He chuckled. He wasn't going to do that. "My place could use a bit more cleaning." "He tells jokes." She pointed out. "And laughs."He smiled. "Yes well, I prefer to leave the joking around to the CEO." "You mean your father?""Same thing." The waiter

Her shrieking almost hurt Lucille's ears. And then Geegee's when Nina called her to tell her what Lucille had told her. "My baby boy." Geegee laughed. In less than an hour they had both called and told everyone they could. Then Geegee called her back. "Madison was a little disappointed. She says daddy and I are just going to turn him on her like we did to Luce." Nina laughed. "I don't even know what that means. She always feels left out. And it's a boys, so he's going to be daddy's boy. And mine. Madison's used to spoiling girls. And it would be so much fun if my baby's a girl. I would spoil her silly." Geegee laughed. Enjoying Nina's rant about spoiling her unborn nephew. It was awkward just standing there. Looking at her with a sandwich in one hand and her other arm crossed. Her normal look turned into a glare. That was bound to happen. "What?" She sounded grumpy. Taking a bite of her sandwich. Nick could almost smile. She left him by the door. "I'm just waiting."
