AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hanna's now 3 months pregnant.

"Lucas, speak!" Hanna shouted. She, Spencer, Emily, Aria and Alison had all ganged up on Lucas in his own loft. The five of them had just found out that he had been friends with Charles and that they wrote a comic book together in which the premise of it was very similar to what Charlotte previously did to the girls and what AD currently does to them.

Lucas's eyes immediately fell on Hanna's baby bump but she didn't seem to notice. "AD blackmailed me into making the board game, alright," he answered in defeat.

"What?" asked Aria. "Does that mean you know who AD is?" asked Spencer. "Do you know how the game ends?" asked Ali. "What are you being blackmailed for?" asked Emily. They all questioned simultaneously.

"I don't know who AD is and I don't know how the game ends," he said, answering Spencer and Ali's questions. "This person blackmailed me because I stole an idea for one of my apps," he said sadly. "They said if I didn't build the game board, then they would expose me and that would ruin my business and my reputation."

"So that made it okay for you to torture us?!" asked Spencer angrily.

"No, it didn't," he said honestly. "AD also told me that if I didn't do what they said, then they would kill Hanna," he said while looking at her.

"What?" asked Hanna.

"They know how much I care about you."

"And how much you want to get in her pants?" snickered Alison.

Hanna's eyes widened at that as a thought suddenly popped into her head. "Lucas, what else did AD make you do?" she asked nervously.

Lucas knew where this was heading and he immediately felt the urge to run away which is what he attempted to do but the girls stopped him.

"It's you, isn't it Lucas?! You're the father of my baby?! You're the one who raped me?!" Hanna asked through tears.

Lucas didn't say anything. He just looked down at the floor which was a confession in itself.

"How could you?!" yelled Hanna. "I thought you were my friend!"

"I'm sorry, Hanna! They told me if I didn't do it, then they would kill you!" he said emotionally. "I didn't want to do it. But I didn't want you to die either."

"You could've at least used a condom!" she yelled, furiously.

"I know. I'm sorry. Are you more mad at the fact that I… err… assaulted you or that I'm the father of your kid?" he asked, afraid of the answer.

Hanna stared at him like he was a kicked puppy. "Lucas, I'm disgusted and traumatized by what happened but at least the father of my kid is someone who I know, a friend even," she said honestly.

"You still consider me a friend after what I did to you?" he asked, sounding almost relieved.

"I don't know. This sounds wrong, but I know you had good intentions. I'd rather be involuntarily pregnant with your child than be killed. So I guess I should be thanking you. But that doesn't mean I forgive you. You raped me; that's not something that can easily be forgiven, no matter what the circumstances are. And for all I know, you could've been the one who gave me the scars on my back," answered Hanna.

"I didn't do that to you, Hanna, AD did," Lucas said quietly.

"You really don't know who AD is?" she asked.

"I would tell you if I did," he answered honestly. "Hanna, I know I've probably ruined your life but can you please let me know what I can do in order for you to forgive me? You're worth losing everything I have," he said whole-heartedly.

Hanna gave him a small smile. "You can start by helping us figure out who AD is."
