Circle Of Love

Chapter Twenty

That night, Lucas and Amy were in bed. She had her head on his chest and he was playing with her hair and stroking her arm.

"Baby?" Lucas asked.

"Hmm?" Amy asked.

"What's wrong?" Lucas asked.

"I'm just glad you didn't leave me," Amy said.

"Why would I leave you?" Lucas asked.

"I just thought you would think the worst seeing that pic," Amy said.

"I did but I wanted you to tell me what happened and you did and you didn't lie either," Lucas said.

"I couldn't lie to you," Amy said.

"I love you and I can't be without you, and now we are having a baby, Amy, I don't have to forgive you because you didn't do anything wrong, I mean, you got drunk but he took advantage of that," Lucas said.

"Regardless of that, I'm never drinking again, maybe a glass of wine with dinner or something but I'm not going to try to out drink Ashley again, I'm never getting flat ass drunk like that again," Amy said.

"Baby, I don't think you will be drinking for awhile, as soon as this baby is born, six weeks later, I'm putting another one in you," Lucas said.

"Oh my god, seriously, one right after another, no quality time with the first one?" Amy said.

"Okay two month but won't you be nursing?" Lucas asked.

"Crap," Amy said.

"Come here baby," Lucas said. He pulled her close and they kissed deeply.

"Make love to me my king," Amy said.

"My pleasure, my queen," Lucas said. They slowly removed each other's clothes and made love. They went to sleep in each other's arms. The next day they got up and got dressed and he took her to work. He kissed her and she went to her office and saw Matthew there.

"Hey," Amy said.

"Can we talk?" Matthew asked.

"Sure what's up?" Amy asked.

"I ended things with Stacy," Matthew said.

"Why?" Amy asked.

"I can't get over you," Matthew said.

"Matthew," Amy said.

"I have tried and tried and I can't move on, you are the only one for me," Matthew said.

"You know why we can't be together," Amy said.

"I did some checking," Matthew said.

"Matt?" Amy asked.

"Amy, you and Lucas aren't legally married," Matthew said.

"What?" Amy said.

"The papers were fake, done by your father and his," Matthew said.

"Oh god," Amy said.

"What's going on here?" Jack asked.

"Is it true, Dad?" Amy asked.

"What honey?" Jack asked.

"The papers are fake, me and Lucas aren't legally married," Amy said.

"Honey," Jack said.

"IS IT TRUE!" Amy yelled.

"Yes honey," Jack said.

"Why!" Amy said.

"Because I thought Lucas would make a better husband," Jack said.

"You never liked me did you," Matthew said.

"It's not that, Matthew, his father wanted him to have a queen and Daniel thought my daughter would make a fine queen so we came up with the plan, draw up fake papers stating the marriage long enough for you both to fall in love and plan the real wedding," Jack said.

"I can't believe this," Amy said.

"Amy, let's get out of here," Matthew said.

"Matthew," Jack said.

"No, she's not married to Lucas now," Matthew said.

"But she's having his baby," Jack said.

"So what, he was going to raise my baby as his own, I will raise his," Matthew said.

"Amy," Jack said.

"Goodbye father," Amy said. Matthew and Amy went out the door.

"Amy?" Matthew asked.

"Hmm?" Amy said.

"You're in love with him, aren't you," Matthew said.

"Yeah, but I'm so pissed right now, I have no idea if he knew," Amy said.

"Where is he?" Matthew asked.

"The club," Amy said.

"Let's go," Matthew said. They went to the club and walked into the office and saw Lucas doing paperwork.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Lucas asked.

"Found out some news," Amy said.

"I did some investigating," Matthew said.

"On what?" Lucas asked.

"Our marriage, it's fake," Amy said.

"What!" Lucas said.

"It was set up by your father and hers, your father wanted you to have a queen and thought Amy would be perfect so he got with Jack and they drew up fake papers and boom, married, they figured you both would fall in love and want a real wedding," Matthew said.

"Lucas?" Amy asked.

"Son of a bitch!" Lucas said.

"Did you know?" Matthew asked.

"No, I did not know, I swear, I thought it was as real as you all did," Lucas said.

"You aren't lying, are you," Matthew said.

"No Matt, he wouldn't lie to the mother of his child, he knows as much as we do," Amy said.

"I'm going to go talk to my father about this, he will not get away with this," Lucas said.

"Deal with my dad as well," Amy said.

"Amy, does this change things?" Lucas asked.

"I confessed that I can't get over her," Matthew said.

"So you want her back," Lucas said.

"Yes I do," Matthew said.

"She's having my baby," Lucas said.

"I will raise it as mine," Matthew said.

"Matthew," Amy said.

"Amy, we broke up for no reason!" Matthew said.

"Look, I love you both okay, I built a life with Lucas, I still love you, I don't know what to do," Amy said.

"The life you built was a lie!" Matthew said.

"The love and the feelings I have for him are not a lie," Amy said.

"Amy, we can have our life back, you know how we were together, we can have that all back," Matthew said.

"You know what, I need to go, I need time to myself," Amy said.

"Amy," Lucas said.

"Amy," Matthew said.

"No, I'm going to go, don't stop me either of you, I need time to myself, alone!" Amy said. She went out the door and went to Lucas's house and packed a bag and got into her car and headed out of town.
