Patrick was busy fixing Hannah some breakfast he had figure that he would let Lucy sleep, she had tossed and turned all night and finally had fallen to sleep around four am. She stayed up al night muttering Dusty's name. Patrick did not know who Dusty was, but he was sure as hell going to find out.

"Mama, wake." Hannah asked.

"No sweetie, your Mama is still very tired." Patrick said as he placed a bowl of cereal in front of the three year old. The little girl pouted and disapproved.

Patrick looked at the three year old. "I thought you liked Rice Krispies?"

"She disapproves of the breakfast, because the cereal isn't in her favorite Mickey Mouse Bowl, Her juice isn't in her favorite Mickey Mouse cup, and the spoon isn't her favorite Mickey Mouse Spoon." Lucy said as she moved the cereal and juice into the dishes that Hannah favored. She also took out a banana and cut it up into the cereal. "Here you go sweetie pie." Lucy said as she set the cereal in front of her daughter. Hannah made a joyful sound of approval.

"I'm not very good at this sort of thing, thank you."

"You'll get use to it." She laughed and kissed him on the cheek. "Good morning."

Patrick smiled. "Morning!"

Lucy had prepared them some breakfast and they sat down to eat. Patrick thought this would be the best time to ask Lucy who Dusty was. "Who's Dusty?"

Lucy dropped her fork. "Dusty?" She stuttered a bit.

"Yeah, you kept saying his name last night in your sleep." Patrick told her. He sounded concern.

"I was." Lucy was shocked that she even talked in her sleep. Patrick nodded.

"You kept calling out to him until about 4 am. Who is he?"

"Nobody important. Just some guy, we were never serious." Lucy lied. She couldn't tell Patrick that Dusty was Hannah's father or that he was or is still the love of her life. Lucy loved Patrick, she didn't want to hurt him.

Patrick didn't believe her but didn't have time to argue, he had to leave for work. "I have to go. We will talk about this Dusty when I return." He said, he kissed her goodbye and left.

Lucy smiled. She looked over at her Daughter who was happily clapping her spoon and bowl together. "You would have your daddy wrapped around your little finger darling." Lucy told her daughter.

Hannah looked up at her as if to say. "Huh?"

Lucy smiled, and picked Hannah up from her chair. "You need a bath." Hannah made a sound of disapproval. "No you are getting a bath." Again, Hannah made a disapproving sound and pouted a pout she could only get by being a Walsh woman.

Lucy took Hannah into the bathroom and cleaned her up.

Back in Oakdale, Dusty had decided to star 69 Lucy. When he got the number, he noticed the area code. He quickly looked it up in the phone book. "Boston, Massachusetts Lucy is in Boston." He smiled. He called some people he knew in Boston and asked them to look up a Lucinda Montgomery.

"I'm going to get you back, Princess. I promise you that." He said as he took out the photo of her that he kept in his pocket. "No matter what you may think Lucy, I never stopped loving you." He told the picture and soon would be able to tell her.

He began packing a suitcase he was going to Boston.

Dusty stepped off the plane at Boston International; he had received a phone call from his contact saying that Lucy had an apartment on the outskirts of the city. "Now I need a car." He said after getting his luggage and going through security again.

"Do you know where I can rent an car?" He asked one of the airport attendants. The Attendant pointed him to the direction to the enterprise car lot they had at the airport.

"Thank you." Dusty said as he walked over to the place to rent the car.

"Can I help you sir."

"I would like to rent a car."

"What type of car are you looking for sir."

"Something that will get me around the city while I'm in town." Dusty explained.

The attendant offered him a "Toyota Camry."

"That'll work, just so you know I have full auto coverage on all vehicles." Dusty told the lot attendant.

The lot attendant smiled. "That's what we like to here sir, just fill out these papers and I'll run your credit card and you will be good to go."

"Great." Dusty said as she finished up his work. The lot attendant handed him the keys. "Thank you, I should have the car back by the end of the week at the latest."

"That's fine."

Dusty got into the silver Toyota Camry, he looked a the Address he jotted down. "This is it Lucy, I'm gonna win you back one way or the other."

It took him a good forty-five minutes to arrive at Lucy's apartment. He took a deep breath. "Alright Donovan this is just Lucy, it's just Lucy."

He looked down at the paper to see what apartment she was is. "1243A" Dusty muttered as he entered the prestigious apartment building. He got to the elevators and headed up to floor 12. He then found wing A. He walked a few feet before he found himself standing in front of her apartment.

He took a deep breath and knocked.

Tbc... what will Lucy's reaction be?
