Lucy's POV
Four days later
I really do not know what I did to deserve such a caring man as Dusty. I really don't know how he even puts up with me, I mean a year ago I would have scoffed at him and called him some unforgivable things.
However now, I couldn't imagine my life without him in. I love him. I love him more then life itself. There were only two men in my life, that I have giving myself completely to. Aaron Snyder my first boyfriend, the boy I thought I would Love forever. Then there is Dusty Donovan, the man who has father the child I'm am carrying.
When I look back now with Aaron I realize I was never in love with him as I thought I was. I was a sixteen and thought I knew everything there was to know about Love. I thought Aaron was my soul mate the one I was meant to be with for an eternity.
However, that has changed. I wasn't meant to be with Aaron, I know I was meant to fall for him, think I was in love with him. However I knew that the love I would have for him would remain as a friendship or little sister type love, Platonic. I never thought the man I would give my self too completely, sure Aaron, and I had sex; however, that was what is. Just Sex. I never gave myself completely to him.
I never loved him enough to give myself completely to him. I never made love to Aaron. However, with Dusty, it's different. With Dusty, I feel as if I'm losing something every time we make love. I also feel as if I'm gaining a part of him, that he doesn't want to let go.
We give all of ourselves to each other completely, without regret. We tell each other things we never dare tell anyone, we trust one another, we love one another. There is no compromising.
Dusty is my soul mate, I'm sure of that now. A year ago, I may have laughed at anyone who told me that I would be carrying the child that Dusty Donovan had fathered. However now I couldn't imagine my life without him in it.
"Luce you ready to go?" I hear him calling me; I was in the bathtub trying to relax. I wanted him to join me. He thought I needed some space to think about what I was going to say to my family.
First, we are going to the doctor to get a confirmation on the test. "Ready?" I say as I walk out of the bathroom, I have on a pair of cream-colored slacks and a button down Pink and white striped blouse, on my feet I have on a pair of cream-colored strapped high-healed sandals.
Dusty smiled at me. We leave out the balcony. Dusty leads me to where his car is parked. Once we are there, he pulls me into an embrace and kisses me deeply. We are in this position for a few minutes before he pulls back.
"Hey what was that for?" I ask."Nothing, I just wanted you to know what ever happens. I will never leave you."
I smile as I get into the car. He shuts the door and goes around to the driver side. We both fasten our seatbelts. He starts the car and heads to memorial.
Once we're there, I go to the front desk and check in. Once I'm checked in, I go back and take my seat next to Dusty. He entangles his hand into mine. "We'll handle this. Together." He said pulling me close and kissing the top of my hand.
"I know whatever happens right."
"Lucy Montgomery." The nurse calls for me and I get up. I turn towards Dusty."You coming."
He shakes his head. "No, I'm gonna stay out here. Unless you want me too."
The nurse smiles. "It is probably best if you wait out here sir."
I smile and Kiss Dusty gently on the lips. "Be right back." I say as I go to see the Doctor.
About fifteen minutes later, I return to Dusty who is busy reading some article in a magazine. I walk over to him and smile. "Congratulations Mr. Donovan you're gonna be a daddy." I smile. It feels a little different now that I have had enough time to let it register in my mind.
I'm sure Dusty has too, because he's grinning from ear to ear. "I'm gonna be a father?" I nod. "We're having a baby?" He asks and I nod smiling.
"Yeah." I smile; he picks me up and swings me around. He then suddenly stops. "Luce now we have to tell your family."
"We'll handle it remember, Together we will handle anything." I smile as I snuggle into his embrace, not caring who saw us.
