Chapter Three
Late into the night, Lucas was finally waking up groaning at his throbbing sore head. Blinking gently his eyes slowly came into focuse, and looked around the darkened room only brightened by the bright moon light. "W..what happened?" He questioned softly slowly shifting. "Heres some aspirin, Lucas" said Joe sitting on the edge of the bed with the pills and some water. Lucas gasped gently staring at Joe scared, leaning back as far as he could. "Joe! Why did you hit me?!" He hollered at him, slightly angry but very scared. "I just needed to be able to get you back up here, don't be scared take your aspirin it will help your head" Joe said with a smile. Lucas was gonna protest, but his head the killing him far to much to argue and get yelling going. With a groan he took the pills and swallowed them, though he found that three might be over doing it for his body size but whatever if it helps.
After he took the pills Joe set the water down on the nightstand beside the bed. "Now, Lucas I know your a bit scared but don't be. Your presuming I'm that creepy kind of stalker that will eventually kill you. But I'm not.." Joe started as he moved closer on the bed. Lucas flinched moved a bit away but didn't have much more room on the bed. "I want something all those kinds didn't, I life with you. I'm only gonna keep you here until I know I've got your loyalty" he said softly. "They we can go out, enjoy life, travel, have fun." Joe smiled as he got further, causing Lucas to jump and fall off the bed. "Ah…uhh" Lucas groaned gently holding his head. Before he knew it Joe was taking his arm to help him up, and surprisingly his grip was gentle. "Do be careful, I can't have you hurting yourself to badly." Joe said softly. "Now come, I'm so you what sparked my sudden movement to get you to be mine.." He said softly still holding Lucas's arm, mostly holding the still sore and slightly limp boy up.
Softly leading him to the door connecting his room to another he opened it, Lucas groaned knowing what was inside. It was a nursery. "You and Elizabeth were trying for a family…weren't you?" Asked Joe, knowing the answer anyway. Lucas looked away pulling away from Joe and leaning on the door frame. "But after trying and trying, even after all the decorating you found she was barren. She knew didn't she….she had been tested before….But.." Joe stopped looking at Lucas. Sighing gently Lucas looked down some, "She knew I wanted a family..And didn't want to break my dream or lose me by me finding out.." He said gently in response to Joe.
Joe moved closer to Lucas wrapping his arms around him, "I remember you telling me this, and how heart broken you were by her lie to you. But you still stayed with her because you loved her. Even though you could never have a family like you have always wanted." Joe said slowly leading Lucas back to the bed and laying him down. "Dont worry, Lucas. Unlike her I wouldn't lie, that is why I jumped to getting you. I found a way to give you a family…our family." Joe said smirking sitting beside Lucas. Lucas wanted to react but the aspirin was kicking in and getting past the pain in his head he noticed how he felt tired and his stomachs as twisting into knots. "What….what did you give me.." asked Lucas rolling to his side curling up with a groan. "Just something that will help, don't worry it will calm down soon. Just rest okay" Joe said smiling as he stroked Lucas's head. Lucas stayed curled up tightly, giving a soft groan every few seconds at the pain in his stomach. Though as it calmed down he couldn't keep his eyes open…they were so heavy, weighing down on him till they finally closed.
