Dusty's POV

"Please let my baby be alright." Lucy keeps saying repeatedly, I am in the ambulance with her. Holding her hand trying to assure her that everything is going to be just fine.

However, I am having a hard time believing it myself. Craig had hit her hard. I could Fcking kill the bastard for doing what he did. I could Fcking kill myself for not pushing Lucy out of the way, and I could Kill Lucy for putting herself in harms way.

"Dusty?" I hear Lucy calling me, she sounds a little frantic as if she wants to make sure I am still here. I grabbed her hand to assure her I am not going anywhere.

"I'm here, I'm not going anywhere." I explain as I hold her hand stroking her fingers. "Everything is gonna be fine." I try to tell her again.

The Ambulance had come to a stop. The doors to the ambulance opened and the EMT pulled Lucy out of the back, I followed behind not wanting to get in the way.

John Dixon who was on call in the ER had come to Lucy's aid. "What happened?" He asked one of the EMT's

She was hit hard in the stomach, full force. She's two and half months pregnant as well." The EMT answered.

"Alright, Thank you gentlemen." John went over to Lucy.

"Lucy who is your doctor." Lucy however still was mumbling about the baby so I stepped in.

"Dr. Schiller is her doctor, John." I explain. John turns toward me. He seems shocked to see me.

"Dusty what are you doing here with Lucy?" He asks. I look at him as if he just fell off the turnip truck. I mean I thought everyone in Oakdale knew about Lucy and me.

"John, I'm the baby's father. Surely you did know that." I explain to him. I shook my head and laughed. "You know John for a doctor you aren't very smart."

He clears his throat. "Well I um...I knew there was something going on with you and the young girl, I just never new you'd go as far as to have sex with her."

I close my eyes. "Look John, I have had enough of this from her family, I don't need it from you too." I yell. I am being fed up with everyone's accusation that I am just using Lucy for my own personal reasons.

John sighed. "Dusty she's young, and impressionable."

"The hell with everyone who thinks that. Lucy is smart. John I tried to push her away, I knew getting involved with Lucy Montgomery would be wrong. However, she would not let me push her away. You know something, I am so glad she kept pulling me back in. I can't imagine life without my Lucy." I explain truthfully, using the term 'my Lucy' she is my Lucy, I love her more then words could say.

Dr. Schiller had made it down to the ER to check on Lucy. "John how is she?"

"She was hit pretty hard, we did some tests and she seems to be just fine, the baby I however leave that up to you Doctor." I hear John and Dr. Schiller talking.

I go up to her and ask if the baby is going to be all right. "Dr. Schiller."

"Mr. Donovan I'm sure your baby is gonna be just fine lets not forget who's this kid's parents."

"I laugh."

"Yeah well, just you make sure of that." I tell her as she goes into check on Lucy. I would have gone in with her. However, I have some unfinished business with somebody.

I noticed Craig coming in and heading straight for Lucy. I block his way not permitting him access to Lucy. "Where you going Montgomery." I ask him. He looks at me as if I had no right to be there.

"I'm here to see my daughter Dusty, now if you don't mind moving." Craig says calmly.

"I'm not moving Craig, I'm not moving. Do you know why I am not moving? I am not letting you go in there to try to worm yourself back into Lucy's life. I'm not gonna let you hurt her again."

Craig chuckled a bit. "I'd never hurt my daughter Dusty, I love her."

"Well you sure have a damn funny way of showing it." I tell him. We argue for a good fifteen minutes before Dr. Schiller came out.

"Mr. Donovan?" I turn my head. Before I could respond, Craig steps in.

"How is Lucy can we see her."

"Mr. Donovan, Lucy is asking for you." Dr. Schiller said. I nod and go into the cubicle where she is.
