Summary: Lucky gets two big surprises during the holidays. I wrote this last Christmas.

Author's Note:

This take place four years after Thankful. So Cameron is 5 years old.

I know that I have two stories already going, but they are angst stories, I want to try a fluffy story for once. I don't know how good it will be.

"Mommy."

Elizabeth looked up from the couch, as she saw Cameron running up to her. "Is Daddy home?"

"Not yet, Cam." Elizabeth said, as Cameron jumped onto the couch, and Elizabeth put her arms around him. "When your daddy gets home, I've got a big surprise for the two of you."

"A surprise?" His eyes went wide and a small grin appeared on his face. "What is it, mommy?"

"That's why it is called a surprise, Cameron. You have to wait until your daddy is home." Elizabeth said, as she looked at Cameron.

"I overheard Uncle Nikolas talking to Aunt Courtney about keeping secrets from him. Is that what you are doing? Are you keeping secrets from Daddy?"

"A surprise is different than a secret. Do you know the word secret means honey?" Elizabeth asked her son, trying to see if he understood what Nikolas said.

Cameron shakes his head. "I just heard Uncle Nikolas say it that I thought,"

Elizabeth wrapped her arms around Cameron. "I understand Cam, but don't spy on Uncle Nikolas again."

Cameron looked at Elizabeth with this mischievous look on his face. "I promise." Elizabeth couldn't believe how grown up her son was getting, she still remember when he was a little baby.

"So what the surprise?" Cameron asked again. Elizabeth was about to say something when Lucky walked into the apartment.

"Daddy!"" Cameron screamed as he jumped off from the couch and run towards Lucky and gave him a big hug.

Lucky smiled at Cameron. "Well someone is happy to see me." Lucky then pulled a toy plane out of his pocket. "Uncle Mac got this for you."

Elizabeth smiled at Lucky "That's very sweet of Mac." Lucky nodded. "You know how much Mac loves when Cameron comes to see me. I think he sees Cameron as one of his grandkids"

"What do you say, Cam."

"Thank you, daddy." Cameron said,

" Well you should thank Uncle Mac."

Lucky was about to take his jacket off when Elizabeth stopped him. "Don't take your jacket off; I have a surprise to show you and Cam. Actually it is part of your Christmas gift," Elizabeth said, as she put her arms around Lucky.

"What is it?" Lucky asked. Elizabeth just smiled at Lucky. " You'll just have to wait and see."

Elizabeth then turned to Cameron. "Go get your boots and jacket, we are going to go and show Daddy the surprise."

Cameron runs and gets his boots, and then he sits down on the couch.

Lucky looked at Cameron, trying as hard as he could to put them on. Cameron knew how to tie his shoes, but he still had trouble putting boots on.

"Let me help you, Cam." Lucky said, as he walked over to Cameron, and helped him put his boots on. Cameron then started to put his jacket on.

"Do you need help with that too?" Lucky asked. Cameron smiled. "I'm a big boy."

"That's right, you are, Cam. You are my big boy." Lucky said, as he hugged Cameron. "So do you know what the surprise is?"

Cameron smiled. "Mommy wouldn't tell me."

Lucky grinned at Elizabeth. "She wouldn't tell you. How unfair is that. Mommy shouldn't keep things from you."

Cameron grinned at Lucky. "It's not a secret like Aunt Courtney did to Uncle Nikolas. It's just a surprise."

Lucky turned to Cameron. "I know your mommy doesn't keep secrets from me, Cam. How do you know about Uncle Nikolas? Have you been spying on him, while you were visiting him again?"

"It wasn't spying, daddy. Kate says that she does all the time with mommy and Uncle Nikolas." Cameron said.

Lucky sat down next to Cameron. "Now Cameron, you are older than Kate remember. So you have to make sure that you teach her the right things to do. So next time you are over at Uncle Nikolas, no spying."

Cameron hugged Lucky. "I promise, but do you want to know what I heard?"

Lucky shake his head. "No Cam."

Elizabeth smiled at Lucky and Cameron. "Come on we better go now, before it starts to snow again," she said, with a smile, as they all left the apartment.

"Both of you close your eyes. " Elizabeth said. Cameron laughed. "I don't want to close my eyes.. mommy."

"We are almost there." Elizabeth said, as she was holding Cameron's hand.

"You can both open them now," she said. Lucky and Cameron both opened their eyes. Lucky couldn't believe what he saw; it was a house that Elizabeth and he saw a few weeks ago.

"Elizabeth… we can't offer this place."

Elizabeth smiled at Lucky. "Of course we can. I talked to the rental agent and we can definitely afford this, Lucky. You are a detective now, and I'm training student nurses now, so we are both getting more money coming in. I know I should have talked to you about this, but I wanted to surprise you with this. You have been doing so much for us lately with all the long hours that I wanted to do something for you."

"You work long hours too, Liz." Lucky replied.

"Yes I know, but I still want to do something for you. Well actually it isn't just for you; it's for our whole family." Elizabeth said, with a smile.

Lucky wrapped his arms around Elizabeth. "All I need is you and Cameron, I don't need a house."

"Are you saying that you don't want to live here?" Elizabeth asked, as she saw Cameron making a snow angel. She could tell that he loved this place, but she wasn't sure if Lucky liked it.

"Of course I want this place, but don't you think I should see inside before I make my mind up." Lucky said, as he grabbed Elizabeth's hand.

Elizabeth smiled. "That sounds like a great idea," she said, as she walked over to Cameron. "Time to go inside now," she told Cameron.

He looked at Elizabeth. "I want to play outside for just a little bit longer."

"You can come back out later, Cameron. I want to show you and your daddy around the house."

"Is this our house?" Cameron asked, as he walked up to Elizabeth and Lucky.

"That's up to your daddy." Elizabeth said, with a smile. Lucky turned to Cameron. "How about we go explore the house together."

"Yeah." Cameron said with this big grin on his face, as Elizabeth opened the door, and Lucky and Cameron started to run through the house. She didn't follow them as she had to do one last thing for Lucky's present.

A few minutes later,

Lucky and Cameron returned back to Elizabeth. "So Cameron and I have talked about it, and we want to live here."

Elizabeth smiled at Cameron. "So you like this place, then?" she asked, with a smile, as she hugged him.

"I love it, mommy. Can I play in the snow?" he asked. Elizabeth smiled at Cameron. "After I show your daddy the rest of his Christmas gift."

Lucky put his arms around her. "You are telling me that this is my Christmas gift. What am I going to have under the Christmas tree?"

"You'll have a gift from me under the tree daddy?" Cameron said. "I'm sure that Santa will give you something, if you are really good like me."

Lucky smiled. "Santa doesn't give grow ups presents." Cameron hugged Lucky. "Well you will have a gift under the tree from me daddy."

Lucky smiled. "Thank you, Cam. So do you know what the other gift is?"

Cameron shakes his head. Elizabeth put her arms around Lucky. "Don't worry, honey, you'll get a present under the tree."

" I get a lot of presents this year, don't I?" Lucky said, as he smiled at Elizabeth.

"Well this present is for the whole family." Elizabeth said, as she put her arms around Lucky.

"Another present for us." Lucky said. "We are buying this house, but else could there be?" Lucky asked, laughing.

"What do you think it is, Cam?" Lucky asked, as he looked at Cameron.

"Maybe it is the train set that I wanted."

Lucky smiled at Cameron. "That's what you want. This is something for all of us," Lucky said, as he hugged Cameron. "Did your mom give you any hints?"

Elizabeth laughed at her two boys. "You know if you stop asking Cameron questions, you will find out."

Lucky turned to Elizabeth. "Okay, so what is it?" he asked. Elizabeth smiled at Lucky. "Let's go upstairs." she said, as they all walked up the stairs. Elizabeth stopped at the second door.

Lucky glanced at Elizabeth, who was looking very supsious. "Is my gift hiding in there?" he asked, as he opened the door, when he opened the door, it was a empty room.

"So where is my gift?" Lucky asked. Elizabeth walked over to the drawer and grabbed the bag, and handed it to Lucky.

"You are giving me a brown bag, thanks Elizabeth, I love you too." Lucky said, with a grin. She hit playfully. "Look inside."

He opened the bag, and he looked at Elizabeth. "Is this what I think it is?" he asked.

Elizabeth nodded. "I did the test… yesterday..""

"Well are you pregnant? Are we having a baby?" Lucky asked. Elizabeth smiled at Lucky. "Yes, we are having a baby. The test was positive."

Lucky put his arms around Elizabeth. "This is great news," he said, with this big grin on his face. "You're pregnant. This is the best Christmas gift anybody has ever given me."

"What does the word pregnant mean?" Cameron asked, as he walked into the room. Lucky and Elizabeth both started to laugh.

"We'll explain that to you later, Cam." Elizabeth said, as she was hugging him and Lucky.

The next morning,

Lucky was making breakfast when Elizabeth walked up to him, and put her arms around him. "So I will do the packing today so we can move into our new house. Maybe we can pick up a Christmas tree when you come back from seeing your mom?"

Lucky turned around and smiled at Elizabeth. "Don't do anything until I come back."

"I'm not going to lift anything heavy if that is what you are worried about." Lucky smiled, as he put the food on the table.

"Well you are pregnant now; I want to make sure that you are okay."

Elizabeth smiled, as she sat down on the chair.

"Sometimes the tests aren't 100 percent right. I wanted to wait until I went to Dr. Meadows before I told you, but I didn't want to keep this from you. I love you, Lucky." Elizabeth said, as she started to eat the food. "I'm going to make an appointment with Dr. Meadows, and then we will find out for sure."

Lucky smiled, as he grabbed her hand, as he sat down next to her. "Whenever happens, we will deal with it. If the test is wrong, then we are going to have to keep on trying for a new little brother or sister for Cam."

Elizabeth smiled. "Oh we do," she said, as she kissed me.

Cameron then came out of this room. "Gross." he said. Elizabeth and Lucky both looked up at Cameron. "Morning," they both said. Cameron runs towards Elizabeth. "That was gross."

Lucky grinned at Cameron. "Wait until you get older, you won't mind kissing." Lucky said, as he leaned over and kiss Elizabeth again. "Especially if they are as beautiful as your mommy."

Cameron just shakes his head, and just said gross over and over again. Elizabeth put her arms around Lucky. "We just have to kiss later," she said. "So what do you want for breakfast, Cameron?" she asked.

"Cheerios." he said. Elizabeth nodded, as she went and grabbed the cereal out of the cupboard. Lucky watched as Elizabeth and Cameron were laughing together. He was the luckiest man in the world, and now their family is going to be bigger, he couldn't wait.

Lucky was sitting in the passenger seat, as Lulu was driving. Lulu turned to Lucky. " You know you seem really happy today and it's not because we are visiting mom, so what is it?"

Lucky smiled. "I can't tell you yet."

Lulu stopped the car. "What are you hiding from me?" Lucky laughed. " I'm not hiding anything from you, it's just Elizabeth and I don't want to say anything until we are 100 percent sure."

"Sure about what?" Lulu asked. "Is Elizabeth pregnant?" Lucky didn't say a word, but Lulu could tell by the look on his face, that she was right.

"Oh my god, that's great news." Lulu said, as she hugged Lucky. Lucky looked at his sister. "I didn't say anything."

"You didn't have to say anything; I saw the look on your face." Lulu said. Lucky smiled. "Okay, you are right, Elizabeth is pregnant, but we aren't saying anything until we have got to see the doctor because some times these tests are wrong."

"Those tests are never wrong, Lucky. You are going to be a father." Lulu said. Lucky smiled. "I already am a father."

Lulu smiled at Lucky. "Yes I know you are a father to Cameron, now you are going to be a great father to two kids. I'm going to spoil this child as much as I do Cameron."

"I think you are getting a little ahead of yourself, little sis."

Lulu smiled, as she started the car again, and started to drive off.

Lulu had just finished talking to Laura when she walked out of the room. Lucky hugged Lulu, as he could see how hard it was for her. Lucky and Lulu both come together once a month to see their mother, and when sometimes Nikolas come with them too.

" Are you okay?" Lucky asked. Lulu smiled at Lucky. "I'm not a little girl, you don't have to worry about me."

" You'll always be my little sister no matter how old you are." Lucky said. " I know it is hard for me seeing our mom like that."

Lulu looked at Lucky. " Actutally it wasn't as hard as it was the other times, it's like.." but Lulu stopped herself.

"What Lulu?" Lucky asked.

"It's nothing." Lulu said, as she looked through the window. Lucky placed his hand on Lulu's shoulder. "You can always talk to me, you know that."

Lulu turned around. "It was like she knew that I was there, but I know that is not true." Lucky smiled. "I'm sure she does know that we are here."

Lucky then hugged his sister again. "If this is too hard for you coming here, we don't have to come."

She smiled slightly. "No, Lucky, I love coming here. I know that dad still doesn't like coming here, I understand that, but I don't want to stop coming here, not now or ever."

"Deal," Lucky said, as he turned to Lulu. "I just want to have a little talk with mom, and then we can go." Lulu smiled. "Take your time. You have a lot to tell mom today, like she's going to be a grandmother."

Lucky nodded, as he walked into the room, and sat down on the chair. "Hey mom, well I've got some great news, I'm going to be a daddy.. well I should say I'm going to be a daddy again, as I am already a dad with Cameron; I love that kid to pieces. He is everything to me. You should see how big he got now. He is five years old. I still remember the day that Elizabeth asked me if I would adopt Cameron, that was the happiest day of my life, I know that I'm not his biological father, but I will be everything that a father is, I will be there when he has his first date, when he graduates and everything else. Now there is another baby on it's way. I can't wait. I always wanted to be a father, now I'm going to have two wonderful kids. Thank you, mom for showing me what a family is. I love you," Lucky said, as he kissed her forehead. "I'll see you next week, and Nikolas is going to come with us too."

Lucky was just about to open the door when he heard his name. It couldn't be what he thought it was. He turned around, and saw his mom looking at him with this love in her eyes, she wasn't in the trance that she was a few mintues ago, it was just like old times.

"Do you know who I am?" he asked.

"You're my son, Lucky."
