Subject: Time keeps tickin'...lives keep wastin'...

It had been almost two weeks, and she was functioning a little better. She had just gone out for the first time by herself since it happened, and was feeling a little better about things. "Lucas?" She called out, shutting the door behind her.

He was on the phone with a real estate agent, discussing putting the club up on the market but popped his head out of the den to smile at her and motion that he'd be a couple minutes. (NT) -- Lucas, 12:57:38 10/12/02 Sat
She moved into the room, not one to give him much privacy, She shifted for a second, onto his lap, whispering. "What are you doing?" (NT) -- Jasmine, 13:01:38 10/12/02 Sat
He slipped his free arm around her waist and pressed a kiss to her shoulder - after a few moments of the conversation it was obivious that he was talking about the club, and the discussing of the prices and the market and any possible buyers didn't leave much to the imagination. He hadn't mentioned anything to her yet, but planning was still in the preliminary stages. (NT) -- Lucas, 13:06:20 10/12/02 Sat
Within moments her gaze turned from confusion to slight anger, working her way out of his arms. (NT) -- Jasmine, 13:29:37 10/12/02 Sat
He frowned at her and wrapped up the conversation, promising to call back later that day. "What's wrong Jas?" (NT) -- Lucas, 13:36:44 10/12/02 Sat
She frowned, her arms crossed. "What was that all about?" She questioned, a slight distrust in her eyes. (NT) -- Jasmine, 16:17:05 10/12/02 Sat
He forced his tone to remain even, though it killed him inside to think of giving up his club. "I've been thinking... About selling the club..." (NT) -- Lucas, 16:31:06 10/12/02 Sat
Her gaze showed her shock, anger and hurt. "What?! Why? And what right do you have to make that decision on your own?" (NT) -- Jasmine, 16:35:47 10/12/02 Sat
He stood slowly to reach for her hand, sighing quietly. "I don't want anything to happen to you again... I don't want you around it, but it doesn't make sense if I'm going to be there all the time but you're not so it's just better if we sell it." Seeing her such as mess and pretty well messed him up and he wasn't thinking logically anymore. (NT) -- Lucas, 16:42:35 10/12/02 Sat
"I don't want to the sell the club! It's not it's fault that what happened did Luc, it could have happened anywhere!" She shook her head, her voice distraught. "I can't believe you would even think about this without asking me first!" (NT) -- Jasmine, 16:45:02 10/12/02 Sat
He shook his head, cupping her face. "Calm down, Jas... I haven't made any decisions... I was going to talk to you today." (NT) -- Lucas, 16:48:33 10/12/02 Sat
She frowned heavily, shaking away from him and bolting to the bathroom, she felt sick. (NT) -- Jasmine, 16:54:28 10/12/02 Sat
He sighed and trailed after her, adjusting the wire-framed reading glasses and brushing a hand through his hair. "Jas..." (NT) -- Lucas, 16:57:19 10/12/02 Sat
She just slammed and locked the door behind her, yelling back. "leave me alone Lucas!" She was feeling tempermental and not herself, and sick on top of it. (NT) -- Jasmine, 16:59:03 10/12/02 Sat
He knocked softly, resting his forehead against the door. "C'mon baby, you alright? We need to talk about this..." (NT) -- Lucas, 17:08:23 10/12/02 Sat
"I don't want to talk!" She was getting a idea of what was going on, and it was scaring her. (NT) -- Jasmine, 17:14:23 10/12/02 Sat
He couldn't help but be upset by her words and sighed. "Fine. You alright though?" (NT) -- Lucas, 17:15:51 10/12/02 Sat
She shook her head, silent as tears began to fall down her cheeks. This couldn't be happening, it wasn't supposed to be like this. (NT) -- Jasmine, 17:23:50 10/12/02 Sat
He frowned, testing the door - not surprised to find it locked. "Jasmine..." (NT) -- Lucas, 17:26:57 10/12/02 Sat
She was quiet, but not silent as she cried, her arms wrapped around herself. (NT) -- Jasmine, 17:28:46 10/12/02 Sat
He he was getting really worried and pounded gently on the door. "Jasmine! Let me in..." (NT) -- Lucas, 17:32:59 10/12/02 Sat
She stood up, unlocking the door, but not opening it before she sank back down into the floor. (NT) -- Jasmine, 17:35:34 10/12/02 Sat
He opened the door in a hurry, dropping to his knees at her side. "What's going on, love? Talk to me..." (NT) -- Lucas, 17:39:07 10/12/02 Sat
She shook her head, openly sobbing now, making herself sick to her stomache. (NT) -- Jasmine, 17:40:29 10/12/02 Sat
He tugged her into his arms, eyes concerned. "Jasmine..." (NT) -- Lucas, 17:45:59 10/12/02 Sat
She sobbed against his chest, crying harshly, harder then she ever had. (NT) -- Jasmine, 17:48:47 10/12/02 Sat
He stood slowly with her in his arms and carried her to their bed where he laid down and hugged her tight to his chest. "Shh, baby..." (NT) -- Lucas, 17:52:18 10/12/02 Sat
She was trembling, feeling like she was having a nervous break down. This couldn't be happening to her, to them. Things like this didn't happen in real life... (NT) -- Jasmine, 17:54:23 10/12/02 Sat
He was intent now only on calming her down - hands soothing her back, voice a gentle murmur. (NT) -- Lucas, 17:57:55 10/12/02 Sat
It took a few long moments but finally the sobs ceased and she was still, eerily still, in his arms. (NT) -- Jasmine, 18:02:41 10/12/02 Sat
His fingers gently fisted in her hair and tipped her head back to look at him. "Talk to me, sweetie..." (NT) -- Lucas, 18:03:47 10/12/02 Sat
"I think I'm pregnant." She said the words with no emotion. (NT) -- Jasmine, 18:09:57 10/12/02 Sat
His breath caught and surprise lit in his eyes - he hadn't had her since before the incident and that was the first thing that popped into his head. "Oh god..." (NT) -- Lucas, 18:12:46 10/12/02 Sat
His reaction brought a fewsh round of tears to her eyes, making them pour out over dark lashes. (NT) -- Jasmine, 18:29:53 10/12/02 Sat
His stomach was in knots but he forced himself to remain calm. "No baby, don't cry..." (NT) -- Lucas, 18:31:20 10/12/02 Sat
"I...I..." Her voice caught. "I can't help it!" (NT) -- Jasmine, 18:32:42 10/12/02 Sat
He hugged her close and nuzzled her cheek. "Just relax... We'll figure this out..." (NT) -- Lucas, 18:36:11 10/12/02 Sat
Her form was completely lifeless as she cuddled against him, closing her eyes and taking a ragged breath. (NT) -- Jasmine, 18:37:06 10/12/02 Sat
Swallowing, her squeezed her gently and placed a kiss to her neck. (NT) -- Lucas, 18:39:18 10/12/02 Sat
She released a breath, her eyes closed. "I am scared." (NT) -- Jasmine, 18:40:49 10/12/02 Sat
He sighed softly, the admission hard for him. "Me too..." (NT) -- Lucas, 18:45:12 10/12/02 Sat
She swallowed softly, her eyes opening to look up at him with a frightened green gaze. (NT) -- Jasmine, 18:46:58 10/12/02 Sat
He cupped her cheek and kissed her softly. "We'll be okay..." (NT) -- Lucas, 19:26:49 10/12/02 Sat
She sighed softly, her eyes on his once more after the kiss broke. "I feel so dirty." (NT) -- Jasmine, 22:12:39 10/12/02 Sat
He shook his head, hand light on her side. "No, sweetie... I wish you didn't... I wish I could make you feel better..." (NT) -- Lucas, 22:16:08 10/12/02 Sat
"I just want to wake up from this nightmare..." (NT) -- Jasmine, 22:20:10 10/12/02 Sat
He sighed softly and dropped his forehead to hers. "We'll go see the doctor tomorrow. Get things sorted out..." (NT) -- Lucas, 22:29:51 10/12/02 Sat
"You'll come with me right?" She held onto his hands. (NT) -- Jasmine, 22:49:34 10/12/02 Sat
He raised her hands to his lips, nodding quickly. "Of course, Jas..." (NT) -- Lucas, 12:51:49 10/14/02 Mon
She quieted down at that reassurance, before she spoke again. "Don't sell it..." (NT) -- Jasmine, 12:53:16 10/14/02 Mon
He sighed softly and brushed his lips over her forehead. "We don't need to talk about this right now, love." (NT) -- Lucas, 12:57:46 10/14/02 Mon
Her breath of air she exhaled held the utter sound of discouragement, her gaze closing again. "You won't do anything without talking to me would you?" (NT) -- Jasmine, 13:00:00 10/14/02 Mon
He shook his head and slipped his arms around her again to pull her close. "Of course not. I wouldn't make a decision like that without talking to you first." (NT) -- Lucas, 13:02:29 10/14/02 Mon
She nodded again his chest before she reached up hesitantly, her lips seeking his. (NT) -- Jasmine, 13:04:02 10/14/02 Mon
He returned the kiss tenderly - all that mattered right now was making her feel better, but inside his gut twisted at the prospect of her having anyone's baby but his. (NT) -- Lucas, 13:05:35 10/14/02 Mon
She knew it had to be bothering him, and it made her feel like she shouldn't even be touching him. With a sigh she pulled away, burrowing her face in his chest. (NT) -- Jasmine, 13:10:05 10/14/02 Mon
He brushed his fingers lovingly through her hair and rested his chin on top of her head, eyes sliding lightly shut. "I love you, Jasmine." (NT) -- Lucas, 13:11:35 10/14/02 Mon
"I love you too...." She murmured, her eyes closed. She felt so dirty, so used. (NT) -- Jasmine, 13:15:36 10/14/02 Mon
He fell silent for a long moment, tentative when he finally spoke. "Would you want to keep it?" (NT) -- Lucas, 13:16:56 10/14/02 Mon
"...I don't know..." The words were a whisper, unsure of his reaction. (NT) -- Jasmine, 13:20:28 10/14/02 Mon
He paused, sighing softly. "Don't worry about anything, baby. We'll figure everything out tomorrow after we talk to the doctor." (NT) -- Lucas, 13:23:27 10/14/02 Mon
"Would you want me to get rid of it?" She questioned, not looking at him. (NT) -- Jasmine, 13:25:32 10/14/02 Mon
He wasn't sure yet - while he wasn't exactly anti-abortion, he wasn't big on the idea. "I don't know... I don't think so, unless you want to." (NT) -- Lucas, 13:27:12 10/14/02 Mon
Her voice caught a little once more. "I don't raise a baby thats not yours..." (NT) -- Jasmine, 13:32:37 10/14/02 Mon
He brushed his lips over her cheek, hugging her tightly. "I know, love... We could always consider adoption though..." (NT) -- Lucas, 13:35:59 10/14/02 Mon
"But then..I'd get all attached to it..." She didn't want to, she wanted to hate the child that was born of such violence...but it was a part of her. (NT) -- Jasmine, 13:41:27 10/14/02 Mon
He smiled reassuringly but sighed quietly. "It's alright, baby. Whatever makes you happy. I'm happy if you are..." (NT) -- Lucas, 13:43:31 10/14/02 Mon
She just sighed, pressing a kiss to his cheek. "You should sleep." (NT) -- Jas, 13:48:36 10/14/02 Mon
He turned his face to catch her lips, winking good-naturedly. "You're the one who needs to sleep..." (NT) -- Lucas, 13:52:47 10/14/02 Mon
Finally she allowed him the pleasure of a small smile, yawning quietly. (NT) -- Jas, 13:55:43 10/14/02 Mon
He kissed her one final time before cuddling her closer. "Get some rest..." (NT) -- Lucas, 13:57:52 10/14/02 Mon
She nodded, closing her eyes and trying to fall into a light sleep - if only to make him relax for a little while. (NT) -- Jas, 13:59:32 10/14/02 Mon
He couldn't sleep, but managed to relax while she dozed - the mental break needed more than the physical... (NT) -- Luc, 14:01:26 10/14/02 Mon
