That settles that.

Lucas sat down beside Alice, pulling her close in his arms as her parent's drove off. "I'm sorry Alice. I didn't want this to go down that way. I'd hoped your father would see reason. But some people can't see beyond their own prejudices." Alice buried herself in his side, wanting everything to be alright, but knowing it wasn't. "I know Lucas. But we have each other, I still have you, my husband, the daddy of my baby. Right?"

Lucas kissed her head, gently stroking her thigh with one hand, his other around her shoulder. "You have me, and I'll never let you go Alice. I'd never abandon the Mommy of my babies." It was true, he wouldn't. Now that she had nowhere to turn but him, he knew she'd be his forever, his young, nubile, innocent girl, his baby mamma as some called them.

Gently holding her, he waited until she began to calm down, before he spoke again. "At least now, who cares what your parent's think? We can enjoy marriage as we want to, on our terms." He kissed her, "We'll have a small private ceremony, a beautiful white dress for my beautiful young bride. If they come around, we'll invite them, if not you don't need that sort of negativity in your life."
