Robbie's gaze softened at Lucy's words. "You know?" he said in a low tone.
Lucy shakenly nodded, not having the words to admit it again.
"You knew she was pregnant and you knocked her about?", Robbie tried to process what he just found out, still taken back by the news, he stood with a slightly open mouth. "That's sick!"
"Why on earth would you do that?" Robbie shook his head and backed away from Lucy in disgust.
"Rob, you weren't there. You don't know what it was like" Lucy lowly said, not wanting to start anything with Robbie.
Robbie chuckles in disbelief, "Lucy, she was pregnant, pregnant, and you fought her"
"Well, what did you expect me to do?!" Lucy defended herself, throwing her arms in the air.
"I don't know, Lucy, I don't know", Robbie rubbed her forehead in distress, "You know, I can't even look at you"
"Robbie", Lucy's tone softened as her brows started to furrow in confusion and shock that he'd think she was evil. She tried to reach her hand to touch his arm, but he pulled away in a split second.
"No, get off!" he yelled, making Lucy jerk back in fright and fear.
She had never seen her cousin like that before, well, not towards her anyway.
Lucy started to tear up. She couldn't believe her best friend was taking Claire's side.
If she didn't feel alone before, she did now.
Robbie scoffs at the site of his cousin before storming out.
On his way out, he sees Dr. Shepherd with a face of slight concern.
He knew what she was thinking, but he ignored it and continued to walk down the hall.
Lucy was left in tears and fear. She was almost certain Robbie wouldn't tell a soul, but his reaction made her sceptical.

"Doctor Lee!" Dr. Shepherd called from down the corridor, catching the attention of the older doctor.
