Disclaimer: see previous chapters…
A/N: You gave me five reviews, so I delivered you the next chapter. I'm sorry that it has been so long since my last update. I've been really busy with school and all. Oh yeah and this chapter I will admit is a bit confusing. To help you understand it better the italics are thoughts and flashbacks. Other than that please R/R, and remember 5 reviews or I won't update.
Lucy sat watching the waves break and roll onto shore as she so often had when things puzzled her like this. Clinging tightly to her legs she pulled her hood up, for the wind was starting to blow fiercely. It was serene and peaceful, and nothing was there to interrupt her thoughts. Lucy, you are getting too attached to Kevin, and now you have even bigger problems. She told herself whisping a piece of hair behind her ear. He thinks you love him Luce, especially since that night you had together. Closing her eyes memories started to come flooding back. Things she wished to remember, and things she wished to forget.
Kevin slowly pushed Lucy onto the bed as he lightly kissed her forehead. She looked into his eyes, and she couldn't help but smile.
" You don't have to do this you know," Kevin said giving her yet another kiss this time on her belly.
She let out a chuckle," It's ok. I want to Kevin. I love you."
Kevin was silent as he looked over to Lucy lying beside him. She looked so peaceful as she slept. Her hair was a mess above her head, but the truth is she had never looked better in her life. There was almost a glow about her that Kevin had never noticed. He stood up and gave Lucy one last kiss on the cheek before silently closing the door behind him.
"You slept with her didn't you?" Ben questioned as his brother exited his room, his hair still clearly in a mess.
Kevin grinned a bit and walked away, for he was in awe about his night.
Lucy sat up and looked at the empty spot beside her. He was gone. Just like she knew he would be. She stood up and threw back on her clothes as she ran out to the lobby. Kevin was there talking to some guests.
" Kevin," Lucy gestured walking up to the counter," We need to talk. I'm leaving."
Kevin looked at her wide eyed," Why would you do something like that?"
Lucy gave him a smile, " I need to get my life straitened out. I need to decide where I want to go in life."
She had never looked surer of herself standing there in front of the man she loved. The truth was she couldn't make the commitment. She couldn't trust a man the way Kevin deserved to be trusted. She was silent and closed her eyes.
" Luce. There's something else isn't there."
Lucy shook her head, " I told you the reason I'm leaving. I'm sorry Kevin I have to go."
The truth was though that there was something else. Something Lucy had kept to herself for all these years, and something she would never forget.
Lucy looked up to the sky where the sun was just starting to make its way down below the horizon. She couldn't bear the many secrets she kept inside, for it was one of the reasons she had ran away and one of the reasons she could never return.
The family had been full of their own little secrets. There was no doubt about it. Whether it was Eric breaking the window while he was mowing the grass or Mary sneaking out of the house to go to a concert, the whole Camden family was chuck full of them.
Lucy stood in front of the door of her dad's office. It had been four months since Annie's death and many people had come to pay their respects to the family during that time. However this individual happened to be a bit late.
"Eric we need to talk," The woman said sitting down on the chair in front of Eric's desk.
"Max didn't find out about you and I did he?" Eric questioned looking her in the eyes.
She shook her head, " Eric we've got even bigger fish to fry. Eric." She paused for a moment to look him in the eyes, " Eric. I'm pregnant."
Eric was speechless as well as Lucy who stood outside the study. Her father having a baby with someone other than her mother right after her mother's death it just didn't seem like him. The second thing was what bothered Lucy the most. He had no intentions of telling Lucy or Mary, and Mary to this day is unaware of her half brother.
Lucy had thought about going back so many times and talking to her father about what she knew, and then something else happened, something life changing.
"Lucy Camden," the nurse called as Lucy looked up from her magazine.
Lucy nodded and followed the nurse back to the room.
" If you don't mind stepping on the scale. We need to take your weight." Lucy nodded with a deep sigh and stepped onto the scale, " 132," she gave Lucy a smile, " And that is from?"
Lucy looked at her puzzled.
" What is your normal weight?"
"128."
"Well I guess you've gained a few pounds. Do you always gain weight like that?"
Lucy shook her head.
" Well if you come this way I can get you situated." She lead Lucy to a room and handed her a robe," If you just could put that one the doctor will be right with you." Lucy nodded as the nurse left the room.
Lucy sat impatiently awaiting the results to the test that would change her life forever.
" Miss Camden?" The doctor questioned stepping back into the room," You were indeed right. You are pregnant. And that was it. With those words Lucy's life was changed forever.
So that's how she ended up here cold, pregnant, lonely Lucy. She sighed as she stood and headed for the car. Kevin had to know sometime soon, but it may take a while for her to work up the nerve.
Lucy drove up to the inn where Kevin sat on the porch awaiting her return. He smiled as she drove up the path her hair waving in the wind behind her. She had no clue how she was going to break the news to Kevin, for she figured she'd need time to get use to it herself.
" Lucy we need to talk," Kevin said running down to the car to face Lucy.
" What is it Kevin?"
" Luce. The inn closes for the winter tomorrow."
"But where am I suppose to stay?"
Kevin gave her a smile," That's the thing. I was wondering if you would like to I guess move into my apartment in New York."
Lucy looked at Kevin wide eyed and wrapped her arms around him, "Are you serious?"
Kevin nodded with excitement. You could tell his love for her by the look in his eyes. He looked like a puppy that had just found a new home, for he had found the one and only true person he had loved. Sure Kevin thought it was a drastic change, but he defiantly would think it was as drastic as the life-changing thing he is about to learn. The thing that would make he and Lucy drift away from each other or drift closer.
A/N: I know that chapter was shorter. I felt bad since it had been a while since I had updated, but you got to admit it does have some very important info in it. Anyway please review.
