Hi guys!

How are you doing?

I came back! Ok, after two months! (it was two months anyway?)

Sorry, I have been too busy and I have to admit that I have not finished writing the penultimate chapter of this story, so I am turning the part that is already written in small chapters, I'm sorry! (I personally hated this chapter).

I realized that I have so many stories to finish and several others to start with (there is a ten thousand word story already written and I'm afraid of it because it's a complicated subject and I know you won't read that).

Zay had told him a few minutes ago that he had seen Maya on the street when he was waiting for the light of the traffic light to turn green. He had said that Maya did not seem very good and she had even walked into a pharmacy, Lucas had been worried even though he did not want to admit it to anyone.

He needed some of his stuff, in fact; he did not really need them, but he needed and wanted to know how things were going on in the apartment and as Zay had said a few hours ago Maya probably would not be there, she probably would be in the studio at those hours.

His keys still open the door and that was in some way a good thing. Their apartment looked fine, a bit messy as always, but in order. His feet led him to the door of their bedroom and Lucas stopped there staring at the closed door. His fingers touched the wooden surface of the door, and he felt a pain in his chest as he remembers how happy he had been with her there. The urge to cry hit him, but Lucas took a deep breath and shook his head to get rid of any thought who dared to cross his mind. He turned the doorknob to open the door and everything seemed quiet there, a little messy something normal of Maya and then his eyes met the swollen blue eyes of her, her eyes showing Lucas that she had been crying for hours. There are huge dark circles under her eyes showing that she was not getting sleep as she needs to and Lucas found himself freezing in the place when she noticed his presence there.

He was not ready to see her, not now and her eyes told him that she did not expect to see him there either. After a brief chat, Maya finally left him there alone. Lucas felt that pain in his chest grow as he heard her closing the door behind him and new tears rolled down his face. He sat on the bed where he often only could sleep with her warmth around him to cry in silence, but Lucas soon wiped his tears away, he should not cry there, he would not be weak, not in front of her.

He turned on the bathroom's light and his eyes went to the mirror, if he was honest with himself would say he had never looked so awful like he does now. Lucas opens it and then he saw a shelf where he usually left his stuff, it was still intact, only a cologne was no longer there. Lucas was putting his stuff on the sink when he saw that strange object in the corner of the sink, he stared at it for a few seconds until his brain notified him of what it was and Lucas found himself freezing there. His footsteps led him into the bedroom without he realized what he was doing, but Lucas kept himself from reaching for her while he still takes in that new information. His brain reminded him of the rules he had heard or watched in some online advertisement, and there were the pink lines confirming a possible pregnancy.

Maya was pregnant and that would change everything. Lucas heard her walking into the room, his eyes fell on her for a few seconds before turning to the test again and then, for a moment, he felt a huge happiness overwhelming him. He had always dreamed of forming a family with Maya, in recent years he had imagined at least two blond-haired kids running around the house, all messed up with the inks that Maya always forgets around, but that happiness did not last long when he remembered what had really happened in those last few months. Yes, she was pregnant, but probably the baby's father is not him. He looked at her belly and the only thing he could see was that Maya had lost weight in the last few days and there were still not many signs of pregnancy on her. Lucas looked at her and saw that Maya was too pale and for the way her chest was moving she was scared too.

"Maya?"

Her name left his lips, but she said nothing, Maya just stared at him when still near the door and then ran toward him and pushed him so she could get into the bathroom. What was he supposed to do? He should go in there with her and help her or wait for her to finish it. Lucas found himself sitting on the bed waiting for her, and after a few minutes he knew she had finished, but she seemed not into get out of the bathroom for the conversation they need to have.

Maya finally left the bathroom after a couple of minutes she was still pale, her hands were in the pocket of her jeans and she bit her lower lip uncertain of what to do.

"Are you pregnant?"

He heard these three words come out of his mouth and Maya smiled sadly for a few seconds.

"It seems so."

Lucas looked at the test in his hand, no matter what is his decision it's no longer belongs to him. Josh got Maya pregnant and learning about this turned that pain in his chest even stronger. There is a consequence of that, and he did not know if he would be willing to live with it if he decided to come back to her.

"Have you told him yet?"

"No, I do not have to tell him that."

She said quickly before biting her lower lip again.

"Of course you have to, Maya! You have to tell him. It's his right to know that; he needs..."

Maya cut him off.

"He does not need to know that, Lucas."

"Why not, Maya? He has all right to know that you are pregnant."

He said without understanding her behavior. He knew the Matthews very well, they were good and responsible people, Riley had told them a lot of stories about her grandparents and from these stories, he knew her grandparents had raised their children very well, with principles and he doubted Josh could pull out and leave her with the obligation to take care of their kid by herself like Maya's father had done with her and her mother.

"I do not have to tell him about it. I don't have to tell him because the baby I'm expecting is yours, Lucas."

Guys, thanks for the reviews! I'm so happy to make you feel something.

I'm going to enjoy my last summer day because different than Game of Thrones here winter comes this weekend.

Spoiler: A California girl is the owner of his heart.
