For months, Lilly continued to formulate how to escape. She had to, but not only for her sake but for the baby's as well. By this time, she was in her seventh, almost eighth month of pregnancy. She could feel her unborn baby kicking, as Lilly exhaled deeply. Every moment of everyday, her fears were rising about the health of her child. What if it was born unhealthy with some kind of defect; she wondered?
However her hand continued resting on her stomach, but Lilly did love her baby. She couldn't fathom just giving it up, because of what had happened. This was still her child, which needed her to love and protect it. It didn't help that she was being contained inside of an apartment; in a location that Lilly had no clue the whereabouts of.
Gazing out the window, she needed to go outside for a breath of fresh air. Walking would be helpful, but yet as Lilly's eyes were on Alex; she sighed deeply. For these couple of months, he hadn't been abusive, however had threatened to kill her after she had delivered the baby. She couldn't let that happen; her baby needed her.
Meanwhile in Philly, everyone continued searching for Lilly; especially Scotty. He owed it to his best friend and partner, but wanted to kill Alex. He didn't deserve to rot in prison, for abusive and abducting Lilly. More importantly, Scotty felt for her unborn child. He knew that Lilly would do anything to protect it, but hoped that he would be able to see Lilly return safely with her child.
On her desk, lay her badge. Scotty feared that Alex had already harmed her. With his heart still pounding away, he looked up to see Saccardo standing there," Anything?"
"Not a single clue, I've been scouring the streets every day and night. Even tried our old neighborhood, back in Kensington; got nothing."
Scotty could see his own determination to find Lilly," The car that Alex had used to Abduct Lil, still hasn't been found. What if he's hiding out somewhere close, but why takes her?"
Eddie thought for a moment, "I think this scumbag gets a thrill of playing games with us cops, right now Lilly's in a bad position. We need to fine her before she gives birth, in two months
As the hours ticked on by, Lilly stood by the window, rubbing her stomach she felt hungrier upon smelling a bag of take out, which Alex had just recently brought in. He of course, was in full disguise; signaling that he wasn't about to be caught, anytime soon.
Lilly exhaling silently, "Just give it up already, aren't you sick of this; keeping me here?"
He eyed her pregnant stomach," You're mine and they need to know!"
"I'm NOT,"
she yelled, "I never was, just please let me go. What am I going to
do when I go into labor, have the baby here?"
That was a
question that Alex had never thought of, "Just shut up Lilly!"
With her arms crossed, Lilly wasn't about to let him just her up," No, look you harmed other women, but you never have done this, why to me? You've lost this game Alex, because I'm one woman that cannot be stopped by you. "
Alex most certainly didn't like her attitude one bit," You know the drill, after you give birth I will kill you," eying her stomach, " THE BABY SHOULD KNOW THAT IT's A FUCKING MISTAKE!", he said raising his voice.
Lilly breathed in slowly," I would never tell my child that, you're the mistake; tough guy," feeling his hand smacking her face, "Think abusing me is working, it's not. I'm not scared of you."
They both stared into each other's eyes, before Alex shunned away. As he sat down to eat his meal, her cravings worsened. She wanted to steal his whole box of fries away, while craving other things as well.
"DO NOT COME OVER HERE!" she heard him yell, "THOSE FUCKING CRAVINGS OF YOURS!"
Her hand gently rubbed her stomach, feeling her baby's hiccups. Lilly now feared giving birth in this dark apartment alone. She wanted to be in a hospital, but yet knew that probably wasn't going to happen. Once Alex had managed to finish eating his meal, he then sat down to watch some TV. On the news, she saw her picture knowing that people were looking for her.
Lilly then saw her father pleading her safe return; her eyes now filling with tears. She wanted so much to be able to speak to him again, yet showing any sign of weakness would only anger Alex.
By now he was angrier than ever before," Great they are still looking for you."
She made no comment, but then saw her entire squad; including Stillman. Lilly missed them terribly, "Please Boss find me," she thought, "I want to come home."
Alex glanced up," Don't be getting all teary-eyed on me."
"I'm not, I just want to go home," Lilly confessed," I can't take this anymore."
He then slowly motioned her to sit," Get off your feet." While watching more of this news conference, Lilly had wondered if she was going to see them all again. Her heart raced inside, "Why are we watching this?"
" Cause it's like you said, I do get a thrill out of this," glancing at her swollen abdomen," I would fuck you Lilly, but now your too fucking fat!"
She ignored his comment, but continued watching the news, seeing how desperate that her father was to find her. Of course Alex had now switched off the TV, "Like he's father of the year, left you at age six. What a bastard!"
"At least mine didn't kill my mother!", seeing how he had reacted to her comment," That how you became this way, seeing how he killed mommy dearest?"
His anger was clearly getting the best of him," By that way, you're giving birth alone. I ain't going to be there to deliver that mistake!"
