Sorry for the delay, but with the holidays I have been really busy.
As Elizabeth walked to the Spencer family home all she could think about was Jason and his face when she told him about being in love with him. She realized that she felt actually relieved that she was so open with her heart, especially with everything that was going on in her life. But she realized that she could no longer hide her feelings due to other people in her life. Now the easy part was done, now was telling her future ex-husbands family about the baby and who the father was. She new it was not going to be easy but she told herself to be strong and that she was going to be ok.
Elizabeth got to the house and did not know if she should knock or walk in, so she decided to knock.
"Hey, how are you?" Lulu asked as she opened the door
"I'm fine, thanks how are you doing?"
"I'm ok. Hopefully Lucky will get out soon and get his life back together."
"I hope so too. Is everyone here, I really need to tell everyone something."
"Yeah, they are in the kitchen" all of the sudden Luke and Nicholas walked in.
"Hey guys, where's Emily?"
"Oh, she had to work." Nicholas said, giving Elizabeth a hug and a kiss.
"So, I know you didn't want to get together and chit chat so what did you want to say to us?" Luke said. He looked very concerned he knew that Lucky and Elizabeth were getting a divorce and that his son was in rehab because of Elizabeth being pregnant. He was going to be a grandfather…I wish Laura could be here.
"Well, I need to let you know that I did not mean for any of this to happen but I can not help what life brings us. When I begin I hope you can hear me out and then pass your judgment if you want. It took a lot for me to come over here and speak to you guys because this going to be really tough to say."
"you are scaring me, what is it now?" asked Lulu
"The night of the black out, you all know that I found Lucky in our bed with Maxi. I knew at that moment that we will never be together again." As she said it, she stared at Luck the whole time because of all people he knew everything that Lucky had put her thru. "well I was devastated and went to see Jason, and I found out that he was going thru the same thing and one thing led to another and we made love that night." There she said it, wow I can not believe I said it.
"you whore, how can you do that to my brother."
"Lulu I let you sit in the conversation because I felt you were an adult but if you can't take it just leave."
"no, I want to hear the rest of it."
"ok. Well it ends up being that I got pregnant that night and the child is Jason's. Just in case you are eager to know. I had a paternity test done and it confirmed my suspicion."
At that moment everyone stared at Elizabeth in utter disbelief with the information she just gave them and all the sudden out of rage. Lulu slapped Elizabeth in the face.
"you bitch, I can not believe you did this to my brother after everything he has done for you." As she raised her hand to slap Elizabeth again, Elizabeth grabbed her hand in the air.
"I will let you slap me once, but not twice. And by the way what do you mean everything Lucky has done for me. I am the one that has been there for years taking the emotional and physical abuse from your brother not you." At that moment Elizabeth looked at Luke and he just placed his head down because she knew that Luke new what was coming. She decided to hold it in, because she did not want Lulu to find out every single detail that her relationship with Lucky was about. Let her brother or father tell her.
"what do you mean physical abuse?" Nicholas questioned. During the whole time he knew that Elizabeth was not in love with Lucky for a long time that something happened between them that Elizabeth felt that she did not trust Lucky anymore and he knew that it was not due to his infidelity.
"she's lying, she just wants us to feel pity for her."
"no sweet heart I would never want you to feel pity for me because I am very happy now in my life that I know Lucky is not going to be in it anymore."
"you still have not answered my question"
"you know what we are not getting anywhere with this and I just want to know from Elizabeth what you want us to do with this information." Luke asked
"well, I just wanted to ask if you want me to tell Lucky while he is rehab or after he is finished with his treatment? Because I do not want him to have false hope and think that there would ever be anything more to us when he gets out of rehab due to the baby. I also feel that when he finds out he will go back to pills and I need for you to know that I will not be there to pick up the pieces. That will be your job to do as his family. I am going to live my life with my children with no regrets and no one making me feel bad because for once I am doing what I want to do not what everyone expects me to do."
As she was saying this she was staring at Nicholas Lulu and Luke. They knew at that moment that she was not playing and that her and Lucky were truly over.
"I feel that we should wait until he finished his rehab which will be in a couple of weeks and I will tell him as his father."
"No, that is my responsibility and I will tell him myself."
"Actually, he is not your responsibility anymore and I feel better if I did it because I don't want him to do something to you." When the words actually left his mouth he knew he was going to have to explain to Nicholas and Lulu what he had known for months. He loved Elizabeth like a daughter and he could not help that he failed her a couple months ago when she came to him crying and devastated when Lucky put his first hand on her. I covered it up just like the other times. I was in denial that he was getting abusive and spinning out of control.
"what are talking about dad?"
Ignoring Lulu's question," whatever you want Luke, if you change your mind just let me know and I will do it. Or we can do it together?"
"No Elizabeth, I have failed you already and this will be me alone."
With was he said tears started to come down her face and she went to Luke and gave him a hug and kissed his cheek and told him that he did not fail her. In her mind she stated that his son did. After she did that they smiled at each other and she told Nicholas sorry and told him that she did not want to hurt anyone. And she walked out of the house for the last time.
