Chapter 1

Our Baby Boy

Amy's POV

I felt the sunlight on my face, at first the idea was pleasant, but when I opened my eyes the hospital setting wasn't quite a wonderful place to be. I couldn't believe that just about two hours ago I had a baby. My baby. John it really possible to feel so much love for somebody that was only on this earth for two hours? I wanted to be with him, I pressed the nurse button.

"Good morning Miss Jeurgens. How are we this morning?" The nurse asked me.

"I'm good thanks. Can I see my son?" I asked as sweetly as possible.

"Why of course. I'll bring him right in." She said with a smile and walked out the door.

I couldn't wait; it's been so long since I've seen him. Just then the nurse walked through with a baby in a blue blanket. As she handed him to me he opened up his eyes.

"I'll leave you two alone, if you need me just press the button." The nurse said.

"Thanks, I will." I said, but my eyes never left the focus of my baby's face.

He had Ricky's dark brown hair, and he had blue eyes. He was the cutest baby I've ever seen. I could hardly believe he was mine.

"Good morning John, how are you today? " I asked him.

Just then I heard a knock on the door. I really didn't want a visitor at the moment. I was cuddling with my baby, why would I want a visitor?

"Hi Amy! I'm so glad you woke up? How's the baby? He's okay right? More importantly how are you? Did you sleep well? I hope I didn't wake you. I love you." He walked through the door, and kissed me on the forehead.

Gosh Ben was so annoying. He's been checking in on me like every 2 hours. I know he means well but still….

"Hi Ben, everyone's fine." I said calmly

Just then another knock on the door, my mom stepped in… thank goodness.

"Hi Amy, the doctor says you can leave tomorrow morning. " She says happily.

"Great! I can't wait to take John home!" I said brightly

"Amy, can I hold John?" Ben asks.

Oh no, please don't let me do this. I really don't want him to. He's so bad with kids. Just then Ricky Underwood came in. Oh thank goodness.

"Amy, can we talk?" He asks in his calm and persuasive voice.

"Yeah, sure. Hey can we talk alone?" I ask.

Both Mom and Ben left right away. Ricky then sat down on the end of my hospital bed.

"Look Amy, before you say anything. I know I wasn't as involved as I could have been over the last couple of months, and I'm sorry. I was scared, you know about that issue with my dad. I took counseling for it! I know I'm probably the last person you want to see but-

"You're right Ricky, you are the last person I want to see. In fact who let you in? You weren't even involved the last 9 months! Okay? Don't use your dad as an excuse. Tell me the truth for once Ricky!" I yelled.

"You want the truth? Okay I'll tell you Amy. I'm scared okay? Yes Ricky Underwood is scared! I don't want to be a bad dad Amy. I'm 15 years old, we're too young. I want to be a good dad, I'm just scared. Ricky said.

"Oh Ricky, here take john. Trust me you'll feel a lot better." I said

When I gave Ricky john, Ricky's face immediately changed from nervous to happy. His whole face lighted up. Gosh as he cute, no wait, I'm supposed to be in love with Ben. I can't worry about that now.

"This, This is our son. I can't believe it. It's like impossible to be sad with him around. Hi John, it's daddy." Ricky said softly.

I suddenly found myself smiling, man I must have looked like an idiot. Then I heard a knock on the door.

"Hello Amy, I need to take John for his morning checkup. We'll bring him back in a half an hour." The nurse said.

Ricky handed the baby to the nurse, and looked back at me.

"So, can you forgive me, and let me back into both yours and our son's life?" He asked.

"Of course Ricky, I'm so glad you want to be part of our lives." I said

I wanted him to kiss me so badly, but I was with Ben. Yet, as if he read my mind he leaned in and I did too and we kissed. then we heard the door open.

"I'm guessing you'll want to file for a divorce huh?" Ben said angrily.
