When Lilly finally saw Scotty slowly making his way inside her hospital room, she remained calm this time, knowing that he would never hurt her. Even after being subjected to Gary's terrifying emotional abuse, she practically was screaming out inside for Scotty's comfort; needing to feel both safe and loved again.
Although now Lilly allowed him to sit down on her bed, feeling the warmth from his hand, while he held onto hers. She could see the tears filling up in his eyes, knowing now that he never gave up on finding her.
"Hey," Scotty whispered," How you feeling?"
Lilly sighed," Tired, I barely had slept before I gave birth," feeling the need to sleep a bit," Aiden liked to kick a lot a night, woke me up constantly."
"I wish I could have felt that with you," Scotty whispered," To see you pregnant with our son, how beautiful you looked."
She shook her head, while now on the verge of tears, but wouldn't dare speak about how Gary made her feel, while pregnant. Feeling Scotty now gently squeezing her hand, Lilly took in a few breaths," Sorry about kicking you out before."
That was something that he completely understood, but saw her fear of closing her eyes," Hey, I'll be right here, nothing's going to happen to you; I promise."
However that's when Lilly fell asleep, while Scotty remained at her side, watching her chest rising and falling, feeling relieved that both her and their son were both alright. He had spent way too many nights, fearing the worst, now it was a good thing for her to be sleeping.
When she awoke, Scotty was holding their son in his arms, "Is he hungry?"
"No, just sleeping," Scotty whispered softly," He's perfect Lil."
Lilly didn't lash out, before seeing him standing up, just as Aiden cried out. Slowly, Scotty tried to comfort him, while still speaking softly to him.
"Give him to me!" she demanded.
Scotty knew that Gary almost put their son up for adoption, while he was still inside of Lilly. He could clearly see the fear in her eyes. Peering down at the infant, Scotty softly kissed him, before placing him onto Lilly's chest, "We'll be able to push him in his stroller around Philly, be that family you and I often spoke about."
"Are we even engaged?"
"Nah, just been dating while trying for a baby; our son," Scotty said with a soft smile," I was going to pop the question sooner or later."
This made her look down," He was right, you don't really love me at all."
"I do Lil, so much. You've been missing for nine months; it broke me when I couldn't find you. Wanting you back badly."
She frowned," Probably going to bang some slut, while I'm all alone raising our son," fighting back her tears.
Scotty remained calm, while taking her hand," Why would I leave you and Aiden all alone, to do that? My mind ain't even on sex; it's on our baby and you. You've been through a lot terrible things, but I'm going to be there, you need me Lil more than you think."
Then he saw Aiden's tiny hand wrapped around one of his fingers, as Scotty watched in awe. He clearly was enjoying these moments as a new dad, but in the back of his mind wanted to kill Gary; and would do what it took to do just that.
This guy deserved to die, not to spend the rest of his life behind bars. No not for what he had done, but for now his family came first. Scotty was going to do whatever it took, to help Lilly through this trauma, however have no idea what Gary still had planned for her.
