69 The Myth And Reality 

Tia. 

We stayed at the cliff a bit until Luke‘s heartbeat steadied. We were not expecting this to happen, but Dr Green had warned that there might be complications because of the damned meds that Elisabeth took. As much as I hated the woman, my heart went out to her when she realised the extent of the damage she had cost. 

Motherhood could do many things, and Elisabeth did a three–sixty turn in those moments. Her obsession with Luke faded instantly, and she was sorry. I wondered how she thought she could get away with it. I had hoped the baby wasn‘t Luke‘s, but Elisabeth wasn‘t a fool. She had everything planned out. She did not seem like the type that would slip unless it were intentional. 

While we sat on the ground at the cliff, I did not know what words to tell Luke that would cheer him up. I wasn‘t happy either, so it made it worse. Time passed slowly, and I thought it was best we returned home. I got up and motioned Luke to get up too. He did so without protesting, and we got into the car. I drove us home in silence and went straight to the bedroom. Caleb and Kimberly were in the living room when we arrived, but we were too glum to say hello. 

“Is everything okay?” Caleb linked me, and I did not know if I should tell him or not. I knew it would be wrong to keep him guessing because it was obvious that something was wrong, especially with the way we both walked in and went straight to our bedroom without saying a word. 

“The baby is Luke‘s, but he has a hole in his heart because of the medications Elisabeth ingested to induce symptoms for attention. He is in critical condition, and no one knows if he will survive,” I linked him back. He was silent for a bit, and then he responded. 

“Is it okay to see Luke?” He asked, and I knew this wasn‘t a good time. 

“Not yet, Caleb; Luke is still trying to deal with it. Give it time, please.” I said, and he was silent. 

“Kimberly and I are going to the park with Emma. Call me if you need me.” He said, and I knew they just wanted to excuse us. It was kind of him, but they weren‘t bothering us while minding their business downstairs, but I let it be. 

Luke took off his clothes and lay on the bed in his shorts. I did not know what to do. I felt a bit awkward. He motioned me to join him in bed, and I did. 

“Not with your clothes on, Tia,” He complained; I stripped down to my underwear and snuggled into bed with him. 

He placed his hands on my lower belly and kissed me passionately.

“What does he want?” Luke asked, and I did not know if telling him would be appropriate. I wasn‘t thinking really when I told my father to come. Luke had already made peace with himself. It would be wrong to get his hopes up and then crash them again, but it would also be wrong not to explore all the possibilities. I just hope his heart will be able to take it.
