Lilo was supposed to be on tour for another three months, but that long away from her husband just wasn’t doable. Every day that passed she considered more and more to just come home and stay home. He was more important to her than her career, plus the baby bump that was happily beginning to show and people were starting to notice. Her entire PR team had to keep magazines and tabloids from spilling the beans, at least until she could tell Eric.
After a few weeks of debating, she finally decided to come home. It was time to focus on her family, and nothing was going to get in the way of that. Lilo arrived home while Eric was at work, which was good since she wanted to surprise him. She had yet to tell him anything, and was excited to do so. She made them a big dinner: roast chicken, homemade rolls, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, the works. Just moments before he was set to arrive she smoothed out the red dress she was wearing and lit some candles, keeping the rest of the house dark.
