I Need You - Lucian

chapter 17

*Ian's pov*

I hated to question lucy but I needed to get to the bottom of this. Lucy and I were curled up on the sofa watching a movie, I guess I looked a bit distracted because lucy looks up at me "ian what's wrong?" She asks me "nothing" "ian, I know you and there's definitely something wrong" she says concerned. "I don't want to make you upset though" I tell her, wrapping my arms around her belly "what is it babe?" she pauses the movie "when you came to the apartment that day and told me you were pregnant" I start "yeah?" "and I asked you how you knew that it was mine and not Adams and you said because you had only ever slept with me... how did he get you pregnant before?" I ask softly and Lucy takes a deep breath "that was true because I'd only ever willing slept with you" her eyes start to form tears "baby you don't have tell me this if you don't want to" I tell her "no I need to, I don't want to have any lies between us anymore" a single tear falls down her cheek and I wipe it away with my thumb. "Adam forced me to have sex with him, all the time" a few more tear fall and I hold her tighter "then why did you say you were happy to find out you were pregnant with his baby?" I smile at her for reassurance "because I thought that maybe if there was a kid around, he wouldn't hurt me anymore" tears are flowing but she's trying to keep her cool "wait, wouldn't hurt you anymore? Luce did he abuse you?" I ask terrified at the thought of anyone hurting Lucy. She just nods, sobbing silently "I'm sorry I shouldn't have brought it up. I should have let you tell me when you're ready" I say sadly as my vision starts to get blurred by the tears forming in my eyes "no, no, no, I needed to talk about it, you just gave me the confidence to do it" she hugs me closer "I can't even begin to imagine why anyone could do that to the kindest person in the world" I feel a tear run down my cheek "it makes me so angry just thinking about it" she wipes my tear away "what do you want me to do?" I ask her and she smiles "just hold me close and never let me go" she says resting her hand over mine on her bump "I won't ever let you go"
