Chapter 78 Is Derrick Good or Evil?
It had barely been an hour since Lucas and Elizabeth lay down. Adelaide started crying and both Elizabeth and Lucas woke up. "You lay here darling; I will take care of her." Elizabeth said stroking the side of his face.
"Thank you love, but are you sure?" Lucas asked while pulling her in for a deep passionate kiss.
"Yes, I am sure." She responded hesitantly pulling away. She never wanted to pull away from his kisses or his touch.
"I will get the next one." He yelled at her as she walked out of the room and shut the door.
She walked over to the nursery and grabbing her daughter out of the crib, she carefully placed her on her breast to nurse her while sitting in the rocking chair. She laid her head back and closed her eyes while gently rocking Addy. She wasn't sure why but she kept feeling like someone was watching her. When she opened her eyes there was nobody there. The rocking chair faced the window away from the door.
When Adelaide was finished she changed her diaper and rocked her until she fell back asleep. She decided since she was up she would go ahead and feed the others as well. She woke Caleb up and placed him on her other breast and she once again laid her head back but he was fussing so she walked over to the victrola and put on some soft music and walked back and forth with him. Caleb had proven to react positively to music and Lucas and Elizabeth were both figuring out their children's ways.
Elizabeth had finally finished with Caleb and had him back asleep. She was going to bottle feed Amelia. She picked her up and walked downstairs to the kitchen where she heated up her bottle. She sat down with her in the family room until the bottle was ready and then removed it from the water and turned off the stove. They walked back upstairs to the nursery and sat down.
Lucas came walking in, wrapped his arms around his wife. "I thought you were just going to take care of Addy, but you have been gone a long time." He said gently kissing her neck.
"I was darling, but I wanted you to rest so I went ahead and took care of the others as well. Go on back to sleep and I will be in there in just a little bit." She told him as she stretched her neck up to give him a kiss.
"There is no point in trying to sleep. I can't when you are not beside me. I will be waiting on you." He whispered.
"I can't wait." She responded with anticipation. "What exactly will be in store for my return?" She teased.
"You will have to join me to find out." He winked as he walked out of the nursery and back down the hall to their bedroom.
"I can't wait." She responded with anticipation.
She laid her head back in the rocker and resumed taking care of Amelia. She was about done when she heard the door shut behind her and the lock turn. She was excited assuming her husband had returned to nuzzle her neck and give her more kisses.
"Lucas darling, it's okay. You can go back to sleep." She said mischievously.
Her blood ran cold and a shiver went down her spine. She felt a strange hand cover her mouth as he whispered in her ear, "Let's put the baby down to sleep and don't try anything sneaky. I've been watching you. Lucas was in love with my wife and took her away from me, now I am going to return the favor." He said quietly as he ran his hand over her face and gently played with her hair.
Every fear she ever had was in this room right now. She could not scream as he kept his hand over her mouth. The tears were now pouring out of her eyes as she feared what he was about to do to her and the thought made her absolutely terrified. What was he going to do to their children after he was done with her she had thought to herself? She could feel his hand starting to wander and she was shifting the best she could to try and get out of his grasp as her body was starting to tremble from shock.
