Lucy (Macy Jacob) is the secondary protagonist/redeemed villainess from the 2023 Lifetime film, The Pregnancy Promise (airdate May 11, 2023).

Lucy is the best friend of main protagonist Skye Simmons, with the film establishing that she spends a lot of time with the Simmons family, mainly to get away from her mother, Tracey. In addition, Lucy was also in a relationship with Skye's brother, Aaron Simmons, and it resulted in Lucy becoming pregnant with his child. Skye later became pregnant after a tryst with her boyfriend, Jake Dawson, leaving Lucy pleased that she and her best friend would be pregnant together. However, Skye would be subjected from cyberbullying and harassment at school, with Lucy suspecting the school's head cheerleader, Brooke, of being the culprit.

In a stunning surprise, Jake's search for the IP address behind the messages led to Skye discovering that the culprit behind the cyberbullying was none other than Lucy. A confrontation with Lucy at her house ended up revealing everything; Lucy had been focused on wanting to spend more time with Skye after their high school graduation, though Skye was planning to go off to college, while Tracey was forcing Lucy to go to work after graduation. After becoming pregnant herself, Lucy turned heel by sabotaging Skye's birth control pills, doing so by replacing them with her mother's pills, which resulted in Skye's pregnancy. In addition, Lucy sent the bullying messages as part of her twisted plan to increase their bond as pregnant teens.

Lucy confessed to the sabotage and the bullying messages, admitting to planning their pregnancies and voicing her desire to be with Skye, who later accused her of the harassment towards her family--which had been occurring throughout most of the film. Lucy denied harassing Skye's family, and despite their friendship suffering due to Lucy's revelation, it was repaired in the film's climax when Skye was suddenly abducted, and found Lucy tied up in the same place. The climax revealed that Tracey committed the abductions, as she had been planning to blackmail the Simmons family out of jealousy over Lucy's adoration for them, with Lucy revealing Tracey's heel turn to Skye. The fully redeemed Lucy, after being freed by Jake and Diane Simmons (along with Skye), confronted Tracey and managed to talk her down from attempting to kill Diane, and the film ended with Lucy giving birth to a baby girl, named Emma.
