Here's another chapter for you all I'm loving writing this story right now and as always I'm loving the comments.

They next morning Spencer woke up early and started stretching so she could go practice when she heard a knock at the door. Since no one else was up she answered it and was shocked to see her mother standing there.

"Hello Spencer,"

"Jessica's not up, but I will gladly flip over her mattress so she can get up and spend time with you."

"I'm not here to see her; I actually came to see you,"

"What makes you think I want to go anywhere with you?"

"Because I need to tell you something that I should've told you a long time ago."

"I'm listening,"

"I can't tell you here come we can go for a walk,"

Spencer groaned and put on her flip flops before walking out the door. They had walked down to a pier without saying a word to each other when they got there Spencer got a hotdog and soda and was surprised when her mother got the same thing.

"Haven't seen you eat one of those in like... ever." She said when they sat down.

"I used to eat hotdogs and pretzels all the time when I was pregnant with you,"

"So what did you want to talk about?"

"Last night I saw you dancing with a man at the jazz restaurant."

"So what are you gonna call me a tramp or something?"

"No um... I just wanted you to know that that man is the reason you were born."

Spencer immediately began choking on her hotdog before she spit it out and it flew into someone's unattended purse.

"What?"

"Well when I was seventeen I had traveled to London and while I was there I was a few months pregnant and my dad wasn't going to pay for an abortion. So I went to a pub and sat next to this really attractive blonde man and ordered a drink while I was ordering he made me order a soda. I got mad and asked him why he did that. He somehow knew I was pregnant and scolded me for being in a pub. I told him I wanted to drink and again he scolded me and said he had just had a son and he was supposed to have two but the other one came out still born. He said how hard it was on him and his wife and how a child was a precious gift that couldn't be squandered. So knowing that I kept you-"

"If you think that's gonna make up for everything it's not." Spencer said cutting the woman off

"I don't expect it too and I wish I didn't spend most of your life resenting you and looking back I wish I could've been more involved in your life but I haven't and I'm starting to hate myself for it."

"Um why is Jessica in the surf competition,"

"She's jealous of you,"

"Why?"

"Because I've been talking about you a lot and looking at your old photos more than I used to and she thinks I'll love her more if she surfs or something I don't know. Her ranting about you is kind of getting on my nerves."

"Well her provoking me is pissing me off,"

"She just wants you to hurt her so she can have you send to jail,"

"What the hell is wrong with her? I mean yeh I don't like people and that's a great plan get the real daughter out of the way so she can take my place but I would never do that,"

"Oh? Why not miss tough girl?" Her mother joked.

"Because I don't like to get to get in the face, it's my bread and butter. You don't mess with my bread and butter," She laughed and her mother genuinely laughed with her.

"Listen you should know that I didn't want to send you too that place I just thought it was best for you,"

"How did you think that was best for me?"

"I knew that you were cutting and I heard that you'd made yourself throw up I honestly just wanted you to stop hurting yourself. Regardless of everything you're still my daughter and I don't ever want you to intentionally hurt yourself,"

"The reason I cut myself at that time was because I felt abandoned I guess it kinda became real for me that you didn't care about me the way most mothers care about their kids and I felt so bad then I ate a lot and I ate too much and threw up, but I survived."

"You always were a survivor I remember I had to be put on bed rest and I remembered what that man said so every day I would put my hands on my stomach and I would always tell you 'Kick me damn it kick me as hard as you can' and you always would," Cassandra said smiling. "I know that man is a good person and while I don't necessarily agree with the age difference I know that he is a good match for you."

Spencer smiled and soon they parted ways. Spencer knew they wouldn't be close and they'd go back to ignoring each other soon but she felt some contentment knowing they bonded even just for a moment.

Lucius sat in his hotel room conflicted, how dare that boy threaten to tell the ministry that he revealed himself to a muggle. He stood and started pacing the room when something caught his eye out the window. He went to look and saw Spencer walking down the street before she turned her head to look at him. She smiled and waved him over. Forget that boy, He thought before walking down.

Spencer looked up at the window... no way was he staying in the hotel that she was in the whole time and she didn't even know it. She smiled and waved her hand to tell him to come down. A few minutes later he appeared in a white dress shirt and black pants. She suddenly felt self conscious she was in sweats, a baggy shirt and a sweatshirt. He walked over to her and wrapped her in his arms before they kissed passionately.

"How are you pet?"

"I'm doing good, how are you?"

"I'm better now," He said smiling.

"Wait was that a smile?" She giggled.

Lucius looked at her happiness filled his body as the boys threats drifted from his head in this moment nothing else mattered.

"I can't believe you were in the same hotel as me the whole time I was there and I didn't even realize it I'm such a dumbass," She laughed. "Come on let's go to the beach I know this cool spot not far from here."

Lucius followed her to the beach. He watched as she took off her flip flops.

"Ok Lucius you should take off those shoes."

"Why?"

"Because you don't wear shoes on the beach it's just common sense."

He sighed but took them off and rolled up his pants as felt the grains of sand under his feet before she grabbed his hand and they continued walking. This was all so out of his element. She soon led him to a waterfall.

"Ok you need to strip to your underwear," She said as she took off her top revealing her bikini.

"Why?"

"Because you don't want to get those nice clothes wet,"

"Where will we put them my dear?"

"Take them off and give them to me," She said making a bag out of her sweatshirt.

He did as she told him Spencer's jaw dropped he was wearing black boxer briefs.

"Well," He smirked at her distraction.

"Um hand them to me,"

He did and watched as she put his clothes in her sweatshirt and wrapped it up before she put it in her mouth and climbed up a tree and onto a rock she placed it up there and shimmied down. She took his hand again and led him to the water fall. They walked right next to it and then behind it.

"I came here a lot when I was younger," She said as they slowly made their way into the cave. Lucius looked at the young woman she was so serine in this environment. He could feel her hand relax before she jumped into the water and swam to the nearest rock. When she made her way on it she tilted her head to the side and looked at him coyly.

"Well?" Spencer said Lucius jumped in and swam over to her. When his head came above the water he looked at her with those piercing grey eyes. "I'm glad you can swim,"

They spent most of the day in the cave before they went back to the beach she got their clothes down. Lucius put his pants on and Spencer put on her sweat shirt before they walked to the nearby pier. The couple talked about their usual topics books, their individual lives. She led him to the Farris wheel he sat with his arm around her as they watched the sunset. Spencer looked up at him.

"What darling?" He asked.

"I love you,"

Lucius smiled at her words and knew she meant them.

"I love you too."

He said before their lips met.

The calm before the storm... let me know what you think.
