So broken that absolutely nothing could piece us back together again

EMILY

I had heard that the first two months are the worst. But I dare say I disagree. They were by far the best. Luke's two children were quite the handful. But with each passing second I loved them more.

They kept me up nights upon nights but there's nothing I'd rather to occupy my time.

Luke helped a lot. He had changed but some what had not. He was around me a lot but he was still with drawn. He poured his heart to me that night and then nothing. He did not tell me anything more and I did not push.

               Flashback

That day I got tired of laying in bed like a stone stuck in a river bed. I wanted to walk down to lake and back. I looked out across the land. Taking time to appreciate the beauty before me. I always liked nature it made my spirit free and collective.

"Run away from your husband so soon" I didn't need to turn to see who was talking. I knew that voice from any where. It send shivers through my body.

"No but if he catches you here you will be the one running" I looked at him dead in the eye despite the fear running through my veins.

"Think you're so brave now. With your big house! That whore of husband! Does he pleases you or do I have to show you what a real man feels like" his speech was slow and sluggish. He reeked of liquor. Drunken fool.

He staggered towards me and I shoved him. My cheek was in excruciating pain. He slapped me. Like a boomerang my hand swung back. I slapped him back.

My days of being someone punching bag was over. I was my own person. No one would hurt me anymore.

"Don't you ever touch me again you pig" I shouted at him.

He wobbled towards me. Luke appeared and punched him square in the face. He held my hands to walk away when I heard Dimitri speak again.

"I will have her! Ravish her as you watch" he chuckled.

Luke drove at him. Next thing I knew Dimitri was on the ground with Luke kicking him in the gut. I stood frozen. I was scared of Luke. I had never seen him this enraged before. He reach for a piece of wood and began to beat Dimitri mercilessly.

Deep inside I wished Luke would kill Dimitri. My days of being tormented by that man. Sexually harassed with his words and eyes would be over.

Could I live with knowing that Luke had killed a man because of me and I stood by and did nothing. I was not God and neither was Luke despite him always acting like one. Who were we to take life.

I screamed his name. But my voice was nothing but a distant cry. He was deafened by rage.

I felt a shocking pain run through my stomach. Like a lightening running through my abdomen. I held my stomach. There was liquid running down my leg.

A contraction hit me. It was like a stabbing pain. I screamed. That's when Luke turned around.

"My water broke"

Mr and Mrs Rochester were here the very next day. They gushed over the children. I could see that they were going to spoil them rotten.

"Emily you are in danger" father in law told me

"Why is that?" I asked curiously

"He's the replica of when Luke was born. Luke he was such a beast when he was a baby. He still is" Mrs Rochester chuckled.

"Your hands are going to full" Mr Rochester said shaking his head.

Mrs and Mr Rochester were looking at us with stars in their eyes. I cleared my throat uncomfortably.

"So when's the next set" Mr Rochester said as Mrs Rochester bursted out into laugh. Luke rolled his eyes.

Two months and my waist was almost at it original size. Mrs Witty made a special tea for me to help and drew my corset twice as tight as if that was even possible. My hip however remained wide. Which I didn't mind. I had shed some of my baby fat. My breast was still plump.

Maybe it was in my mind but I caught Luke staring at me in the peculiar way since of late. Whenever I caught him he quickly turned away like I had caught him with his hands in the cookie jar.

His eyes darkened when he saw me. I couldn't help but think that he desired me.

Luke was going to be a wonder father. Most nights after I had fed the children and they would fuss he would come and sing them a lullaby. He managed to get them to bed faster than me.

Luke had claimed to be a man without love. But if what I saw in his eyes when he looked at our children was not love then I don't know what love was. I remember when my father use to look me that way. With pride. With love.

It warmed my heart to see Luke like this. Composed and relaxed. Without a care in the world.
~~

The next morning I woke and both the cribs were empty. Did Mrs Witty have them? I walked to the kitchen.

"Good morning. Have you seen the children?" I asked Mrs Witty as she prepared breakfast.

"Luke took them to the garden" she handed me a cup of tea. I walked briskly to the garden. They must be hungry I hope they weren't fussing to much.

As I walked through the living room someone pounded on the door. Who could that be this early in the morning.

I opened the door. My eyes widened. My breath hitches. My throat became dry. I dropped the cup.

Time stopped. I could hear as each piece of the crackle tore apart hitting the ground.

She looked the same as I remember.

"Emily!" I heard Luke voice in the distance before darkness took a toll and I fell to the cold floor.

Who do you think was the mystery lady?????

Maybe Luke should have killed Dimitri right? Or naa?
