Captured Hearts 11
Marty stared at the plus sign that had quickly appeared on the test. There was no doubt about it she was definitely pregnant. She threw the test away as she splashed water on her face. Was fate really that cruel? There was a time that she would have given anything to be pregnant again, but now...with Victor...it was a nightmare.
What if she grew to hate this child because of the way it was conceived? What if it was everything that was evil about Victor? Could she really raise a child knowing that it could turn out to be a rapist just like his father or uncle?
She opened the bathroom door, as much as she wanted to, she couldn't hide from Victor and Irene forever.
"So? Are you pregnant?"Victor asked.
"Yeah," Marty said.
"You are? We're going to have a baby," Victor said as he embraced Marty. He was so happy about the news that he forgot for a second, that this child was a result of the worst thing that he had ever done and that Marty was most likely not happy about it.
Marty let out a strangled noise that sounded like a wounded animal dying. "Don't touch me," she said as she pushed Victor away from her.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking," Victor said as he looked down at the ground.
"I'm going to let you two love birds celebrate in private while I start making a baby blanket. It won't be long until we have a little one crawling around this compound," Irene said as she pranced away.
Marty began to hyperventilate as flashes of him raping her bombarded her mind.
"I'm not going to hurt you," Victor said as he backed away from her, putting his hands in the air so she could see that he posed no threat.
Marty managed to get her breathing under control. "I can't believe that this is happening. I can't have this...this thing growing inside of me. I won't give birth to your spawn. There has to be a way that I could end it all," Marty said.
"Marty, it's not a thing or a spawn. It's a human being. It's our child. I know how hard this is for you, but I promise that you will grow to love him or her."
"How do you know? How do you possibly understand how I am feeling?"
"Because I was raped too. When Margaret raped me I felt so ugly, disgraced, humiliated. I felt like absolute garbage and when I found out that she was pregnant with Sam, I hated him just as much as I hated her. I hated them so much that I came close to killing her, even though she was pregnant with my child. I was afraid that he would be evil because of how he was conceived. I was wrong, as time passed, I realized that Sam was completely innocent and now I couldn't imagine my life without him in it. I love him so much. You're a great mom and I know that you're going to love our child despite what I did to you."
"You really do understand, don't you? You were raped too, so how could you do that to me?"
"Marty, I..."
"Nevermind," Marty said interrupting Victor."I don't want to know... I don't want to talk about it with you.
What does Victor say?
A. We have to talk about it...
b. That's okay we don't have to talk about it...

"Who was on the phone?" Tea asked.
"I don't know how to tell you this or even if I should. It could just be a cruel joke."
"What is? Who was on the phone?" Tea asked as she turned off the shower so she could hear Blair better.
"I don't know. It was just some guy who claimed that Victor was still alive."
"What? Victor can't still be alive. I saw him, he had been shot and there was so much blood," Tea said as she started to cry.
"What do you want to do?" Blair asked Tea.
"Do you think he was telling the truth?"
"I don't know. That's the thing that bothers me the most. The guy sounded sincere and he seemed scared of somebody."
"Do you think that I should have Victor's body exhumed?" Tea asked.
