Hannibal: Your Mine

Chapter 30: Run

Ivy's POV
The past week has been fine. I continued my work as usual. Other than my new ring, I had not been showing. I never told Jack, and for the most part, I don't think he noticed.
    It was a Wednesday evening, I was getting ready to go home. Beverly's office had become mine. I sometimes think of what she might have became if she was here...My thoughts were broken by echoing footsteps. I listened as they grew closer and closer until they stopped and I could put a face to the sound: Will Graham. He stayed put by the doorframe.
"Will!"

"Ivy, are you finished here?"

"I-I was just leaving. What do you want?" Taking two steps closer, He looks me up and down, before taking another step."May we talk? Don't get alarmed. It's nothing serious-Well it all depends on your definition of serious" He spoke like a lawyer about to condemn me to a life sentence. He extended his hand out, as if to guide me. Reluctantly, I grabbed it. "Let's walk, I don't want us to talk here". Leading me to area around Quaunico.
"Ok, Will, what do you want to talk about?"

" Well you've seen to have this new life set out; A baby, Hannibal to be your future husband, you seem to everything planned"

"Will, everything was unplanned"

"Not to Hannibal. He's had most of this planned from the start, and this is why I must tell you to run while you still have some sort of chance"

"Why would I run? What is there to run from? Happiness? My future? Tell me Will! What should I run from?!"
Stopping in his tracks, he quickly turned to grab my shoulders. He looked me deep in the eyes."Run away from Hannibal...He will be you're undoing. Run while you still have the chance"

"Will, even if I wanted to, I am bound to him in more than one way. Could I really run away from a man who I am soon to be bound eternally to? Could I really run away from a home and child? Could I truly run away from everything that's happened? No Will, I can't"

" I wish you would listen to me..." He said, while walking away from me and into a heavy wooded area. I didn't follow and he no longer cared.

Hannibal's POV
I sat by the fire, drawing what could only be described by my new parental instinct. The sketch of a cradle was coming into focus. Although I was not thrilled about this arrival, I had to accept it.
I heard heavy boots trek through the halls until a figure burst through the door into the study; It was Will. He was not in a rage or angry, just frustrated.
"Will, how nice of you drop by ,unexpectedly. What can I do for you?"

"You took it away from me! Any hope I had to be a father, you took it!"

"Will, I have done no such thing. I heard what happened to Margo, and I'm very sorry for your loss, I truly am"

"I would wish this pain, but I couldn't do that to Ivy... I've tried to kill you before, and look where that got me; Closer to the devil" He looked down at his shoes before looking into my eyes. "Maybe the devil will learn a lesson" I stood up, and slowly made my way towards Will, until we were eye to eye; The devil and Lamb. " You hold much power here Will, but do anything to Ivy, Myself or that child, I will-"
Another smaller figure formed in the door way.
"Will? What are you doing here?!" Stopping where I was, I soon slipped back into a clam demander.
"Will, I'm sorry but you will have to leave. Ivy has an appointment"

"Well, Good luck. Do let me know how it goes. Hannibal, Ivy" He stopped in the doorway, and said something to Ivy, before leaving. The room was silent and the air, still.
"Are you coming?" I've broke the silence. "Of course. Let's go"
