Rating: PG-15 - potential swearing?
Lily was pacing, again. Life always seemed to do this. It was a running theme on the island. Something great happened and was then balanced out by something awful. She felt terrible for her son. He was going to be embarrassed and hurt that someone would have betrayed him on such a base level and tell the world something he obviously wasn’t ready for it to hear.
She felt hurt, she knew that Alec did too, that he felt that he couldn’t talk to his parents about what he was going through. Granted, none of them were perfect, they were still children when they’d been given care of infants and told to love them and raise them like their own. And she did. She and Alec raised that baby as best they could and recently she felt like they’d failed. Whether or not they had didn’t really matter, but the fact was she felt like she’d somehow wronged Luke because he couldn’t talk to her.
She rubbed her hand over her face, her other palm absently pressed against her stomach where the baby was. She took a couple of breaths, slow and deep and she just waited. Her cell phone was on the table and she was waiting for someone in her family to get into contact with her. Either her son or her husband.
Right now, she would take either. She knew Alec was at the gym. Perhaps it was best he was there at first. Maybe Lily could talk to Luke, get some information about what was going on in their son’s life.
She just wished she had known earlier. Maybe some of this could have been avoided.
