Circle Of Love

Chapter Twenty Nine

A week later, they were in Vermont. They checked into the place they were staying and got settled in. Morning sickness had hit Amy hard and she was resting in bed. Lucas laid with her.

"It's never been this bad," Amy said.

"Oh baby, I wish there was something I could do," Lucas said.

"Just be here with me is all I need," Amy said.

"Always," Lucas said.

"I hope I'm well enough to do the photoshoot," Amy said.

"I'll be right there beside you with a bucket," Lucas said.

"I just hope you can handle it," Amy said.

"Through sickness and in health, baby, I love you, you never will have to go through this alone," Lucas said.

"I love you so much," Amy said.

"You are everything to me, you and our babies," Lucas said. He rubbed her stomach and moved down and kissed it.

"Hey little ones, take it easy on your mom, she has a busy weekend ahead and needs to get work done, let her work please," Lucas said. They went to sleep and woke up the next morning and got up and dressed and ready for the day. They got to the location of the shoot and Amy got her camera ready. She felt someone stand in front of her and she looked up and saw Nick standing there.

"Nick, why are you here?" Amy asked.

"He's here with me, Amy," Stacy said.

"Oh, didn't know that, sorry," Amy said.

"You should be, I will not let you take another guy from me," Stacy said.

"I'm married to Lucas, Stacy, so don't you worry your pretty little head about it, besides, it's only a matter of time," Amy said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Stacy asked.

"I talked to Matthew, he said the real reason he took the job in Europe was to get away from you, you were too clingy, he couldn't take it anymore and had to get away from you, he pretended that he wanted me back to get you away but you still kept coming, so he talked with my dad and took the job in Europe to get away from you, so you see, he didn't want to get back with me, he knew it was over and we were better off as friends, he wanted to get away from you," Amy said.

"You bitch!" Stacy said. She lounged for Amy but Nick grabbed her and held her back.

"Stacy, did you just try to attack my daughter," Jack said.

"She deserves it!" Stacy said.

"You're fired, get the hell out of here before I call the cops," Jack said.

"This isn't over, Amy, you better watch your back!" Stacy said.

"You touch her, you are done," Lucas said.

"Let's go!" Nick said. He drags her off. Lucas sat beside her.

"You okay baby?" Lucas asked.

"I'm fine, she's insane, no wonder Matthew went to Europe, he needed to get away from her," Amy said.

"I'm sorry about that, Amy, I should have seen it," Nick said.

"How did you end up with that," Amy said.

"Jamie set us up on a blind date," Nick said.

"I'm sorry, bro, I didn't know she was that crazy," Jamie said.

"We didn't know that she's why Matt left," Ashley said.

"Jamie, no more blind dates, I'll find my own woman," Nick said.

"Bro, there is one who would be good for you," Jamie said.

"And who's that?" Nick asked.

"Hannah," Amy said.

"Yes Amy?" Hannah said.

"Seeing anyone?" Amy asked.

"Not at the moment, it's been a year," Hannah said.

"How would you like to go on a date with Nick?" Amy asked. Hannah looked at Nick who smiled at her. She smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I was jealous of Stacy," Hannah said.

"No need for that, she's history, with him and the agency," Amy said.

"When and what time?" Hannah asked.

"Tonight 7pm?" Nick asked.

"Perfect," Hannah said.

"Nick, what did you do with Stacy?" Jack asked.

"Pushed her out the door and told Hank, Todd, and Greg to take care of her," Nick said.

"It's done, prez," Hank said.

"She won't be a problem anymore," Todd said.

"Is she dead?" Hannah asked.

"We didn't have much choice," Todd said.

"She tried to kill me," Hank said.

"Oh baby!" Ashley said.

"She saw Todd's gun and grabbed it and pointed it at Hank, I pulled mine and fired and hit her in the head," Greg said.

"After she fired at me, I ducked in the nick of time," Hank said.

"Oh god!" Ashley said.

"She was crazy," Hannah said.

"Any issues with cleanup?" Nick asked.

"The cops showed up but we explained what happened and Todd had his license to carry as did Greg and with the three of us saying what happened and sharing the same story, they called it self defense," Hank said.

"Good, I didn't want you guys to get blamed for her craziness," Nick said.

"So seven tonight Nick," Hannah said.

"Seven pm sharp," Nick said.

"Let's get going everyone!" Amy said.

"How you feeling baby?" Lucas asked.

"Good so far," Amy said. Nick sat with Hank, Todd, Greg, and Lucas while Amy went to work after the models got into the clothing. Frank stood with Jack as they oversaw the shoot. After the shoot everyone packed up the stuff and went back to the inn. Amy laid down to rest while Lucas sat beside her checking things on his phone.

Three months later, Amy was enjoying her pregnancy. Lucas gave more responsibility to Greg and Kevin so he could be home more with her.

"Hey babe," Amy said.

"Yes baby," Lucas said.

"Jamie and Ashley want to have a gender reveal party," Amy said.

"I thought we wanted to wait to know what they are when they are born," Lucas said.

"I know, I told them that, but they said how would anyone know what to buy if no one know one knows the genders," Amy said.

"Gender neutral items," Lucas said.

"I told them that," Amy said.

"They wouldn't go for it huh," Lucas said.

"I put my foot down saying that the decision was yours and mine," Amy said.

"That's right, these are our babies, not theirs," Lucas said.

"Think we can do it?" Amy asked.

"We can do anything, baby," Lucas said. They kissed and cuddled on the couch.
