Circle Of Love

Chapter Twenty Six

Lucas and Daniel came back with the results. They looked at everyone. Carla stood up.

"Well?" Carla asked.

"He's my son," Daniel said.

"Thank god!" Carla said. Lucas hugged his mother. Daniel hugged them both.

"Now I don't want us to ever think about him again okay," Daniel said.

"I never want to think of anyone touching me but you, you have to make me forget that," Carla said.

"Oh I will," Daniel said.

"Dad! Mom!" Lucas said.

"Lucas," Amy said.

"They're my parents, baby," Lucas said.

"I know but still, after everything that has happened, let it be," Amy said.

"Yes dear," Lucas said.

"Now about you two," Carla said.

"Carla," Amy said.

"No, Amy, those babies need their parents together," Carla said.

"We will be parents to them," Amy said.

"Married?" Daniel asked.

"I still need time, that fake marriage license threw me for a loop and brought back old feelings that I had to push aside because I thought I was married," Amy said.

"I don't know what the motive was behind all that but I know my son loves you," Daniel said.

"And I love him too, but I also love Matthew, those feelings don't go away on their own, it takes time," Amy said.

"Amy, we don't want our grandchildren to be illegitimate," Carla said.

"Mom!" Lucas said.

"We want our grandchildren to be raised in a home with their parents together happily married," Carla said.

"And if you force us to get married, it won't be happily married, we both would be miserable, give her time, Mom, please," Lucas said.

"Please don't tell me you are okay with this," Carla said.

"Mom, I love her and I want to support her choice, I will support her choice, I will not force her to marry me, I will not force her to do anything she does not want to do, she knows how I feel about her, she knows how Matthew feels about her, I will give her time and space she needs," Lucas said.

"And where does she sleep?" Carla said.

"In the guest room next to my room," Lucas said.

"Carla, listen to our son," Daniel said.

"Fine," Carla said. She hugged them and everyone left. Lucas sat there. Amy sat down next to him.

"Thank you, for doing that," Amy said.

"I would do anything for you, Amy, I love you," Lucas said. Her phone rang. She looked at it and looked at him.

"Hello Matt," Amy said.

"Hey Amy, I guess you heard," Matthew said.

"That you went to Europe for six months, yep," Amy said.

"I just thought it was best if I did, so you and Lucas could work things out and be the best parents to the babies," Matthew said.

"So you know it's twins," Amy said.

"Jack told me, I'm happy for you, I know I wanted you back, I really did, but while you were gone, I did some thinking and when I saw you sitting by Lucas's bedside at the hospital, it made my choice more clear, I'm going to move on with my life, stay friends with you," Matthew said.

"Really?" Amy asked.

"Yeah, your dad also told me about Lucas's uncle," Matthew said.

"Yeah, that was a shock to all of us," Amy said.

"Amy, I will always love you, be with Lucas, be happy, be a true family," Matthew said.

"You sure about this?" Amy asked.

"Yes, Amy, it's the best thing for all of us," Matthew said.

"I will always love you, you will always have a part of my heart," Amy said.

"You have a part of mine as well, goodbye Amy," Matthew said.

"Goodbye Matthew," Amy said. She hung up and looked at Lucas. He took her hand.

"Baby what is it?" Lucas asked.

"Lucas, I'm all yours," Amy said.

"What?" Lucas said.

"He let me go, he wants me to be with you, to be happy with you," Amy said.

"Amy," Lucas said.

"Make me yours forever, Lucas," Amy said. He took her into his arms and kissed her deeply as he picked her up and carried her upstairs to the bedroom where they removed each other's clothes and they made love off and on throughout the afternoon and evening. He laid beside her and pulled her close and kissed her forehead.

"I love you baby," Lucas said.

"I love you, I'm yours, forever," Amy said.

"Forever ain't long enough, baby," Lucas said.

"Can I have my ring back?" Amy asked.

"Yes baby, and I'll tell my mom to start planning the wedding," Lucas said.

"I want it soon, I want to be your wife for real this time," Amy said.

"You were my wife, we just didn't know it wasn't real, we both thought it was," Lucas said.

"Yeah now we need to make it that way," Amy said.

"Yes we do, baby, I can't wait," Lucas said. He kissed her and moved down her body. He kissed her stomach which was starting to show a small bump.

"Hey little ones, you probably can't understand me yet, I'm your daddy, I can't wait for you two to come meet us, I will love you both forever, you two and your mom are everything to me," Lucas said. He kissed her stomach again and moved up and kissed her deeply as he began making love to her once more. They fell asleep in each other's arms.
