Maya walked in, happier then ever
She set her dress on the dinning room table and walked over to Lucas
"Hey baby". Maya smiled
Lucas looked up from the scrapbook "Maya, can I ask you something"?
"Anything". Maya shrugged
"I'm gonna say this softly and carefully. Cause I know this is gonna hurt you, as much as you tried to forget". Lucas held her hand
"Lucas, you're starting to scare me". Maya said "What is it".
Lucas pursed his lips before opening the scrapbook
"Who is this"? Lucas asked softly as he pointed to the other baby in the picture
Maya's smile turned into a frown. She stared at the pictured. She was trying to talk but no words were coming out.
"Maya"? Lucas squeezed her hand as he held it in his hand
"That's you're daughter". Maya tried really hard to hold back tears
Lucas tucked a strand of Maya's hair behind her ears "Baby, it's okay, you can cry".
Maya bursted into tears
Lucas wrapped his arms around her as she sobbed into his shoulder
"I'm sorry". She cried as she lifted her head off of his shoulder
"Why are you sorry"? Lucas raised an eyebrow
"You could've had a daughter". Maya sobbed
"Don't be sorry". Lucas shook his head
"Sorry I didn't tell you". Maya cried "I didn't want you to see me cry".
"Maya ... what happened". Lucas asked
"They were twins. Carson and Caitlin. She-... she was stillborn. She just stopped breathing. I was gonna call you ... but at the time, I didn't think you would care".
Maya sobbed as Lucas tried to wrap his head around this
"Maya ... baby, I care more then anything. You should've called me, I could've helped you". Lucas soothed her
She finally began to stop crying
"Just looking at her made you wanna burst into tears. She was so helpless. I held her, she was so small. Her skin was purple. She had tiny fingers and toes". Maya sniffled
"Maya .... what made you think you couldn't tell me when I came back"? Lucas asked
"When you first came back, I didn't you think you really cared. I thought you just wanted to meet Carson and then you would leave in a week".
"Those were never my intentions Maya". Lucas shook his head "I wanted to stay with you. I wanted to form a family with you. I still do".
"You do"? Maya raised an eyebrow
"Yeah". Lucas smirked and nodded his head
"I do too". Maya smiled
