"You want a what?" Dusty questioned. Lucy had just told him she sought after an abortion. Dusty was not as keen on the idea as Lucy had been. "You want an abortion?

Lucy nodded. "Yeah I want an abortion." She stopped a little to look at Dusty who seemed as if he wanted this child. "Don't tell me you want me to have this child? Dusty." Lucy seethed a bit. She tried to remind him of all the trouble it would cause if any one were to find out that they were expecting a child.

"Just consider what it would do to Aaron and Molly. Have you thought about what it would do to them?" Lucy tried to rationalize with him.

"I dislike doing this Aaron, but he's gonna find out sooner or later. Better sooner, and don't tell me you're having this abortion so you can cover it up Princess." Dusty scoffed at the reality that Lucy would cover up anything that huge.

"I'm not covering anything up. I want to have this child Dusty. I do, I just know it would only cause distress. And what about Molly huh? How you going to explain a child to her?" Lucy continued to get Dusty to listen to reason.

"My business isn't Molly's concern any longer, she pulled up stakes and got out of town which is what I should have done...this way we wouldn't be here in this hospital wondering whether or not if we should abort a child that shouldn't have been conceived in the first place." Dusty walked over to the window of the hospital. He ran a hand through his hair and let out a deep breath.

Lucy went up to him and put her hand on his shoulder. "Then let me do this, let me terminate the pregnancy. Let us make everyone happy. No one gets hurt."

"Except for our child." Dusty ran a hand through his hair.

"A child that isn't desired." Lucy again tried to reason.

Dusty closed his eyes. "How can you say that, Luce? I know we aren't going to be up for parents of the year but..."Before he could finish Lucy had interrupted him.

"Dusty can you picture us setting up house raising a child."

Dusty turned to look at Lucy he cupped her chin. "Luce, I don't want to set up house, hell I don't even think I want a relationship with you. I just do not want you to abort this child. Why is that so wrong?"

"It isn't wrong. I just do not want anyone hurt in the process. Dusty imagine what it would do to everyone in my family if they found out that I was carrying your child. I know my father will be furious with you. He'll try to kill you."

"I'll take the chance. Luce." Dusty continued to plead for Lucy to keep the child. He took another deep breath

"I really don't know why I want this child so much Lucy, I just feel as if I owe it or something. I have caused so much heartache. I just want to do something right for a change."

Lucy looked at a heartbroken Dusty. She hated to do it, but she knew aborting the child would be for the best. "I'm sorry Dusty, I'm having this abortion." She made herself firm with her decision.

"I can't even get you to change your mind."

"No." She was adamant about the whole thing.

"Then fck you Luce, don't bother talking to me again." He stated as she walked out of the room, he stopped midway before he heard her voice.

"So that's it. We're finished."

Dusty turned around. "We've never started sweetheart. We can't end what wasn't started." He said as he turned back around and left.

Lucy stood there shocked. She hated not getting the last word in. Therefore, she went out to the hall and shouted at him. "What Dusty Donovan to scared of a relationship with little old Lucy Montgomery." Dusty heard her and turned to walk towards her.

"I told you Dusty Donovan never get scared." He moves towards her. He becomes so close that she starts backing up soon they are alone in the examining room. Dusty stops and locks the door.

"What are you going to do?" Lucy egged him on. Dusty walked towards her with a look of mischief in his eyes. Lucy smiled at the look.

"Dusty wants to play." Dusty stated as he moved closer to her.

"Does Dusty Jr. Want to play to." Lucy asked referring to the impending bulge in his pants.

"Maybe." He smirked as she moved in and claimed his lips with hers. The sweet nectar that she had was heaven to him. He did not want to stop kissing her. He wanted to taste her forever. He wanted nothing more then to take her right there on the examining table. He started kissing down her neck and sucking on it.

Lucy closed her eyes savoring every minute of their time together. "Dusty ah...that feels so good. Please don't stop." Lucy enjoyed what he was doing.

Dusty continued his assault on her body. Lucy was in ecstasy reeling from what he was doing. However, something jolted in her. She closed her eyes. What was she doing? A few minutes ago, she and Dusty were arguing over whether to keep an unwanted child because they could not resist one another, and now they were practically making love on the exam room table.

Lucy pushed him off. "What the hell are you doing?" She asked.

Dusty smirked "What the hell am I doing? What am I doing?"

"Yeah seducing me like this, so I'll change my mind."

"What? You came on to me."

"Yeah right, like that would ever happen." Lucy said as she fixed her clothes and walked out of the exam room. Before she left she turned around to state. "I will have this pregnancy terminated Dusty. You won't be able to stop me."

Dusty watched her leave. "You're wrong Lucy, I will stop you. I will make sure you have this child, even it means hurting everyone. I will not give up on my child. Even if you are its mother." He said to himself.

Lucy walked out of the elevators to see Aaron standing by the nurse's station talking to Alison Stewart. She walked up to them.

"Aaron what are you doing here?

"I might ask you the same thing. Lucy?" Aaron questioned her wanting to know why Lucy was at the hospital.

"I was visiting a friend." She lied. Just as she responded. Dusty had stepped off the elevator. He walked past Lucy and caught eye contact with her for a brief moment.

Aaron was sensing something was up between the two. However, he just could not pinpoint it.

Tbc... Will Aaron figure out what Lucy and Dusty are doing behind his back? Will Lucy go ahead with the abortion or will Dusty be able to stop her.
