((((((Sarah))))) :bouncing: :bouncing: :bouncing: This has GOT to be in the show....I can feel it - you are so right on! This is heartwrenching, wondering what's going to happen at this stage. Those scenes were just so fluid, and so incredibly TG like. Loved Nick, Caroline and Barbara they just rang so true. Lulu's anguish over the baby broke my heart. What will she do?? I just can see something like this playing out...perfect for a season finale! Whoohoo! DH get you arse over to gilly's...NOW - and read this. :biglaugh: |

Sarah,
Great dialogue!!! Keep it coming.
I'd like to hear some action between Nicholas and Burton. I believe the mother issues need to be surfaced and dealt with or Nick will never be able to move forward.
I'd hate to see this little child growing up and having his own set of parent issues laboring him-- issues arising from hand me downs.
Rosiii1,
I've been waiting for that fanfiction you have almost finished. So it didn't get posted before that last episode, that's no excuse! We want to read your take on the fragile Lulu and protective Nick sequel. You always have great ideas. They are fun to read and keep us thinking, wishing and hoping and lurking for more.
Welcome to our Argentinian friends. I love to read you ideas and listen to your enthusiasm. Your English is so refreshing, your extension of friendship to all is so natural and genuine.
And now, my username. I like to post once in awhile so all of you who are drooling in your shoes over "our man of the hour" don't forget:

Cecelia,
Sorry I made a mistake about your homeland. I was a geography major in college so I am familiar with South American countries. I am sorry I never learned the language. Both my sons took Spanish in high school and I helped them study for tests and complete homework assignments. I love the sound of Spanish being spoken. My children are grown now so all I learned is lost.
About the Rosiii1 fanfiction: She was writing one before the last episode and is almost finished. She stated it was too late to post since it doesn't coordinate with the story any more but I want to encourage her to finish it . She is a good writer and I'd like to hear her take on the DH storyline.
If you want to read one of her fics that was very enjoyable, try The Charity Ball. It is found on this message board under Fanfiction. I have read every
writers fics many times in the last year. Such good writers--great talent!!!
Have a wonderful Saturday.

(Fallin &Fallin, Burton's office after an important meeting with a potential client that same afternoon)
B: (rubbing at his mustache) big case today, Son?
N: (sighs softly, hesitant) not particularly...
B: (shrugs) I was just wondering, since you came in a bit late to meet with Weichman and Associates, (sees that Nick isn't really paying attention, almost reluctant to ask) ...something on your mind?
N: (nods) I got tied up, at the court house...
B: (gently prying) I thought you may have run into Louisa, or something (looks at Nick, gauging his reaction)
N: (his hands shoved deep into his pockets, very pensive and slow to respond)... I did...
B: (smiles) she's okay? doing all right?
N: (rubs at his nape) yeah, busy -- with work, and uh... (hesitates a bit) the board, and everything...
B: (notes Nick's continued distraction, tries to pull him into the conversation).. she's been doing a hell of a job up there, I'm impressed (pauses a moment) Masterson's a good man, but she's really got the heart and the head for that type of work...
N: (knows that his father hasn't yet heard of her resignation, but doesn't want to say anything since its not confirmed, smiles) I know...
B: (chuckles softly) get some young blood up there, shake things up a bit...
N: (wonders how Burton cannot know the irony of his words, just how the current circumstances could threaten Lulu's position -- he sees no problem, but he knows the board will evaluate the situation differently and judge Lulu professionally based on her personal life. NO. He won't let them, he can't. He has to get to the office, catch her before she leaves -- smooth things over, Nick looks up at Burton) I gotta go...
B: (sighs, yet another potential conversation interrupted by the business of his son's life) ... listen, I know things aren't great -- but whaddya say to the three of us getting some dinner, ask Louisa?
N: (notes the exclusion of Caroline, but considers that maybe its for the best, at least for tright now, nods obediently) maybe... I'll see...
B: (his eyes sparkle despite his sad smile) I think it would do us all some good.

(late that afternoon, its been slow at the LSP offices. LuLu returns from her last case of the day at the court house, wanting some quiet time and space before going home that evening, especially after her mother's emotional exhibit the night before)
L: (opens the door to her office, finds mother Mom sitting inside) Mom?
C: Your door was open, I thought I'd wait...(folds her silk handkerchief and puts it back into her purse, although she might need it again, she is still coming to terms with the grim outlook)
L: What are you doing here? (hesitates a moment, Horowitz' heavy words echo through her mind)... I'm really not up for another round...
C: (shaking her head) that's not what I'm here for...
L: (sits down behind her desk, discomforted by her mother's somber mood and distant gaze)... so why did you come?
C: (smiles, trying to procrastinate)... well, can't a mother stop in to see her daughter?
L: (swallows hard, knows she can't endure another one of her mother's emotional lashings) you said a lot of things last night...
C: (looking away from LuLu, she wipes her damp eyes and changes the subject immediately, not wanting to even think about the horrible things she had told Louisa the night before)... I was worried when I didn't hear from you, after your appointment with Dr. Horowitz.
L: (her body tenses up as she wished that her mother would've forgotten the appointment, she lies)... it was fine...
C: (shakes her head in disbelief, her heart is already heavy when she looks up at LuLu)... you've always been a rotten liar...
L: (stunned that her mother ever paid that much attention, she tries to play it off as a compliment)... what?...
C: (wishing she would've stopped for a drink before she came, replies in a very matter-of-fact way)... that's not what his nurse told me...
L: (fires back)... You called? (seething, feeling her privacy has been completely violated)... he cannot legally...
C: (scolds as if she was still a small child) LOUISA! (lowers her tone, aware that others are still in the office, raises her eyes to look over her daughter's distraught expression, she speaks slowly)... we're not in court... and I'm your mother, that little fact means something to a few people... (pauses a moment, her jaw trembling as she articulates each word)... he told me that he warned you against continuing...
L: (interrupts, stammering) its not his decision, Mother...
C: (her jaw is clenched, and she is trying to fight off tears, she looks up at LuLu a moment)... have you talked to Nick about this?...(she can tell from LuLu's expression the answer is *no*)
L: (ignoring Caroline's question, her arms are tightly crossed over her chest, she answers defensively)... its my body...
C: (knows that LuLu has been avoiding the topic of *Nick*, but sees no reason as to why her daughter is so determined to go through everything alone) Have you talked to him, Louisa? (she pauses a moment, trying to catch her breath)... does he know about the risks? (acting certain that Nick would be the one to talk some sense into her, sure that he would make the logical choice)
L: (her body is trembling, afraid, trying to convince herself -- she corrects her mother)... risks, its nothing definite... (she pauses a moment, wiping the nervous tears from her eyes)...and no, I haven't spoken to him...yet...(realizing at that moment the irony of the situation, her mother knowing before Nick and already telling her what to do, much like when she had first found out she was pregnant, not even two weeks before, there is an awkward silence between them for a few moments)
C: (swallowing hard, looks up at LuLu and asks) what are you going to do Louisa?
L: (doesn't answer, but covers her face with her hands, reminding herself to breathe as she considers that she really doesn't know how Nick feels about her, muchless, the baby... their baby)
C: (reaches out, lightly stroking LuLu's hand with her own) Louisa...
N: (exits the elevator and walks through the bullpen, finding Alvin at the coffee pot, looks around quickly for her, and then asks)...where's LuLu?
A: (turns his head, sees that LuLu's office door is partially ajar)...I think I saw her going toward her office...
N: (flashes a quick smile)... thanks... (starts toward LuLu's office)
A: (calls) Nick?... (getting his attention, he continues)... about the board...
N: (hesitates just a moment) Later (shoots a look at Alvin, there's a sense of urgency in his voice) okay?...
A: (he nods, and waves Nick off, mumbling)... right....
N: (stops a couple feet from LuLu's door, seeing Caroline inside with LuLu, its clear that LuLu is upset, he can see her red and puffy eyes but can't distinguish Caroline's role, he can't make out anything being said, but he waits a moment, standing there out of view, his heart pounding madly in his chest)
C: (waits for LuLu to raise her head, and frowns)... why are you so goddamn adament about having a baby, this baby? (she shakes her head, recalling what little she knows of her daughter).. you never...
L: (wipes her eyes again, coming to a painful realization of how little her mother really knows about what she *wanted* for her life) I've always wanted to have children... (despite the risks, LuLu doesn't want *now* to be the exception)
C: (she shakes her head in denial, very discouraging)...certainly not under circumstances like these...(she looks LuLu in the eyes, hard as it is, and asks the most difficult question)... does Nick even want this baby? (she pauses a moment, but not long enough for LuLu to reply, she knows there has been problems in the relationship -- for the first time considering that Burton was the one pushing for the baby, not Nick, she thought this might not be what he wanted, part of his plans)... has he told you that? (looks for any hint in LuLu's expressive eyes)
L: (stumbles for words, ashamed to admit that she really has no answer to that question) ...Nick... (swallows hard, not knowing where to begin with any type of explanation...)
C: (interpreting LuLu's silence as a *no*, and knows she herself will have to assume a more maternal role and be there for her daughter during such a difficult time, she sighs softly,)... Louisa ... (takes LuLu's hand into her own and gives it a firm squeeze) ...you have the rest of your life ahead of you, Louisa, you don't have to rush into anything...( swallowing her pride, all the previous images are erased from her mind, she has waited this long already, a few years wouldn't make much difference, she will choose what's best instead of what her daughter believes is right, even though she certainly wouldn't mind being a grandma -- at this cost, she's firmly against it) ... there's still time to... (Caroline cannot even bring herself to say the words *abort the pregnancy*)
L: (shaking her head, lets go of her mother's hand and wipes the tears from her eyes) I've already made my decision...
C: Dammit Louisa... (slams her hand against LuLu's desk, and takes a deep breath, realizing she cannot afford to act out like that with her daughter, she bites down on her lip, and slowly looks up)... and I'm sure its the wrong one...
L: (as if her decision wasn't already hard enough, LuLu has been burned by her mother yet again, and gets up from her chair -- she has had enough)...isn't it always?
C: (tearfully imploring)... why are you doing this to yourself? (waits for LuLu to answer, but she doesn't, her devastation is expressed through her eyes, Caroline continues, trying to put the situation into perspective -- knowing how much LuLu hates failure and disorder, having realized that if LuLu won't talk to Nick about this, she is the only one who can make her see how wrong this is)...it was an accident, a mistake...you know that, Nick knows that, Burton and I...
L: (extremely hurt by her mother's change of heart and clear lack of support, she calls her on it)... I thought you were happy about this...? (she wipes her swollen eyes again, her hands still shaky)...
C: (wipes her eyes and shakes her head, unable to look at LuLu as she says the hardest words)... not if it means loosing my daughter -- I won't sit back and watch you kill yourself just to have this baby... (choking up)... I almost lost you once, you can't ask me to go through it again... (she gets up from her chair and grabs her purse from LuLu's desk, she looks at LuLu, she can feel her daughter's body trembling when she lightly touches her pale cheek, her eyes are filled with pain)
N: (slowly steps away, his head hung low and his heart racing, he can't think, he can't breathe -- Nick struggles to comprehend all that he has just heard, what he saw, unable to understand what LuLu is going through, or the decision that he should be with her to make. He knows he might be in over his head, that he might not be ready for this, to lose her or to be a father, as much as he might want to have a child at this point in his life, with this woman...Nick hated himself for not being able to tell her what he was thinking, what he felt, especially at times like this... when it would matter the most ..)

(((((DH get your ass over here right now and READ THIS ASAP!!! ))))) Nick would be so conflicted, but ultimately, possibly losing LuLu would devastate him - so telling her not to continue, would probably be what he does. Do you think LuLu would take that the wrong way - get the wrong idea?? This would be the thing that makes Nick lay ALL his cards on the table - and say that 4-letter word, L-O-V-E! Just to smack some sense into the girl! Phew!! Sarah this is fantastic, and heartbreaking at the same time -- love it!!! ;D |

Juliana, You CANNOT stop there, it's too good. I agree with Rosiiii, that would put Nick on the edge. And that is what we need. But we do not need to be kept on the edge!
