Lily looks at Indy when they had some privacy. She smiles; she knew that he would be thrilled with this news. Or so she hoped. She was going to tell him something that would change both of their lives. But it was a good change, but Lily was afraid her mother would find out. She would not be happy. She didn't know this, but Lily had overheard her when she was talking to a man. He was going to marry off his son to Lily. And that was something that she wasn't going to allow to happen. She shakes her head; this was not the time to be worrying about that. She had to tell Indy what she had come to tell him. She smiles and looks at the ground, "Indy I'm pregnant." She whispers. She hoped that he would be happy, she sneaked a look at him, he looked shocked. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to jump into his arms. But at the same time, she was afraid he would push her away. She had given him some big news. She didn't know if things could get any worst. If she had to marry the boy that her mother had picked out for her. She didn't know what she would do. She wanted to be with Indy, and he knew that. She smiles when he smiles, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, but I just found out." She admits. She would have told him the second she had found out. But she couldn't get out of the house. Her mother had sensed that there was something going on, so she watched Lily like a hawk. And that was something that Lily really didn't want. She didn't want her mother to know, not yet at least. She didn't know how she would react. But she hoped that she would be all right. But right now, she had to focus on Indy.
Indy looked at Lily and smiled, "You have given me the best gift of my life Sweetheart." He said as he took her in his arms. He smiles into her hair, "I know you must be scared, but I promise you, we'll get through this. If I have to, I will leave my parents, and come to live with you. I don't want anything to happen to you or the baby. But why do you look so scared." He could tell that she was frightened. But he didn't know why. And he would have to make sure that she was safe. He didn't know how he was going to do that. But he was going to make sure she stayed safe. He looks into her blue green eyes. "I promise you, when we get to the States, my mother and father will help us. I have already told them. My mother was happy, but my father. Well he doesn't really approve. But he wants to meet you nonetheless." He smiles as he bends down and kisses her, "I promise I will make sure they don't make us separate." He looked down at her belly; she was starting to show a little. He put his hand on her stomach; he was going to be a father. That was something he didn't think would happen for a long time. But it was happening now, and he couldn't be happier. He smiles at Lily, "Don't worry I promise we'll get out of this mess." He then takes her hand, "But come with me to my room." He said as he started to pull gently on her hand, leading her to his room.
Lily smiles when Indy seemed to take the news well. She wanted to go with him to his room. But she was already gone from her room for too long. "I have to go Indy. I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer. But it's almost lunchtime, and if my mother catches me in this kind of clothing. Then I'm a dead first class passenger." She said with a slight smile on her face. She had to get back to the stateroom so that she could get herself cleaned up for the night. She had to wear her evening gown. She hated these dresses. But she would make sure that she was polished up for her mother. She looks at Indy and smiles; "I'll see you tonight. I'll sneak out when everyone else is in bed." She said as she kissed him gently on the lips, "I love you." She said as she let go of his hand and turned around and rushed back to her room. Once she had reached it she opened the door, and was startled to see her mother sitting on her bed. She didn't look happy. She had noticed that she was gone. This couldn't be good. But Lily would just tell her that she wanted to go to third class and make some new friends. She wouldn't approve of that idea. But it was better then the truth. If she told her the truth then she was dead. But she knew that she would be able to make her mom happy, "I'm sorry I'm late, I just have to get dressed, and then I'll be ready for dinner."
Isabella looks at Lily and shakes her head, she was not happy with the clothes that she was wearing. But she had been a rebel all her life. She hated wearing dresses. Well that was too bad. She was a first class passenger on a luxury liner. She would look the part, or she would be grounded for the rest of the voyage. But she knew she couldn't tame her daughter. But she could marry her off to someone rich. She knew that Lily wouldn't like the idea. But she was her mother, and she would do what she was asked. Or pay the consequences. But for right now, they had to get ready for dinner. Isabella had a surprise for her daughter. She was going to introduce them to Collin. He was a nice boy, and they would be happy together. And if they weren't then Lily was still going to have to get used to it. She was going to marry him, weather she liked it or not. She shook her head and looked at her daughter, "You have ten minutes, then I want you at our state room, and then we'll take you to dinner." She said as she stood up, "I will be waiting for you." She was not happy with her daughter right now. But she was going to make sure she got her way, she was going to introduce her and Collin tonight. And then they would spend the night together. No not in that way, but they would spend the night talking. She would make sure that Lily did that. She wanted to be with his father Steven. But she had to get them together first. He had told her that he wouldn't marry her unless she had married her daughter to his son. But she knew that Lily would not go with it. So she would have to do something drastic.
Lily nods at her mother, "I will be ready." She said as she watched her mother walk out of the room. She put on her evening gown. Thinking of Indy the whole time. She knew that things were going to be different for them. But she was worried about her mother, she was up to something. But she didn't know what. She was worried that she had married her off to someone, or was going to. She had tried that once before, and Lily had put her foot down. She was not going to marry a complete stranger, just because her mother wanted her to. She didn't want to go to dinner. But she had to. She would do nothing else. She smiles at her reflection in the mirror. She had to do something to her hair. So she put it up quickly, she was done. She smiles to herself; Indy would love to see her in a dress like this. But she was worried that her mother would find out that she was in love and married to someone else. She sighed; she would have to deal with this boy that her mother had picked out for her. She didn't like him, but that didn't mean anything to her mother. She smiles as she exits the room and looks at her parents, "Alright I'm ready to go." She said with a smile. She was happy that it was time to go. She was so not ready for dinner. But things were going to be all right.
When they were all seated in the dining hall. A boy about Lily's age comes up to her and helps her into her chair. Collin Barts was his name. And he was there to marry Lily. She didn't know it yet. But he was going to make her his wife. It was in the cards, he knew that her mother had arranged that. But she wasn't going to be happy about it. This is what her mother had warned him. But he was going to do his best to make sure that she changed her dress. Collin smiles at Lily, "It's nice to finally meet you." He said as he sits down in the chair next to her, "I don't know what your mother told you, but she had agreed to hand you over to me to marry me." He said with a smile. He looks at Isabella, he winked at her. He then looked at Lily, "I know you don't want to. But I'm afraid you don't have any choice." He said as he smiles and sits down next to her. "I'm really looking forward to getting to know you." He said as he took in the look on her face. She really didn't want to. And it seemed as if she had a secret that she had not shared with her mother. He knew he would get it out of her. They were going to spend the night together, to find out more about each other. He hoped that she would cooperate; he didn't want to hurt her. Well that wasn't necessarily true. He would love a chance to hurt this woman; he took great pride in his beatings. He watched her as she picked at her food. Something was bothering her. He didn't know what it was. And he knew he wasn't going to find out until he got her alone. He would torture her in so many different ways. He knew that tonight was going to be wonderful.
Lily looks at Collin and shakes her head, "You know I will never marry you." She said as she stands up. She knew that this was not going to go over well with her mother, "The fact is that I'm already married, and I'm not divorcing him, so you can get that idea out of your head." She shook her head and stood up, "I am going to leave now. And there is nothing that anyone can do to change my mind. Indy is waiting for me, and I want to be with him." She knew that her mother was going to try and stop her, but hopefully her father would be there for her. But she wasn't sure how he would swing this her way. There was no way she was going to leave Indy for this man. She looked at her father, "You know where I'll be." She said not wanting to give her mother where she was going to go. Because then Collin would find out and then who knows what would happen, "So if you'll excuse me." She said as she turned around and started to walk. She didn't know what she was going to do. She hadn't told them about the baby. And maybe that was a good thing. Her mother would have a fit if she found that out. She would also have a huge fit when she found out what class he was in. This all didn't mean anything to Lily she was going to be with Indy.
