WHO: Lucas Cortez and OPEN WHAT: Having Hope again WHEN: Friday WHERE: Little People's Boutique WARNINGS: Possible talk of miscarriage STATUS: Open/Ongoing
Despite the fear he still held inside him that he and Paige would lose this baby as well, Lucas couldn't help but be excited. Paige was doing well, the doctors were cautiously optimistic, and they were being very careful that Paige in no way overdid it. He'd started looking forward, thinking of a future in which he and Paige had a child of their own. He hadn't been brace enough to actually purchase anything for their future child yet...he clearly remembered the pai of coming across the baby clothes that they'd purchased for the one they had lost. But they were getting closer and closer to the point where it didn't seem such a ridiculous idea. Soon, Paige would be in her second trimester, and the chances of her miscarrying the baby would be drastically decreased.
On his way back from lunch, he took a shortcut which led him past a children's shop on Main Street. On display in the window, he saw the most adorable little Easter dresses. Lucas was not particularly religious in any way, but the tiny, adorable garments caught his eye nonetheless. He could almost imagine his own, unborn child wearing it.
Of course, even if everything went well, their child would. It be born until November, and they didn't even know whether it would be a girl or a boy. Nonetheless, he couldn't stop himself from stepping inside and going to the newborns' section to examine the dresses more closely.
