Prelude:
Ricky and Amy walked the hallway where everyone was waiting for news on Ben and Adrian's baby. She looked to Ricky.
"Guess we're a little late to the party, not that we needed to be here at all," she said to him.
"Hey," said Ricky, "Don't get upset with me, they were here when John was born."
As the couple got closer, they saw their friends walking away with saddened looks on their faces. Amy started to get worried.
Walking ahead of Ricky she saw Mr. Boykewich standing there with his face reddened and tears in his eyes. "Mr. Boykewich," she said trying to keep her own composure in her voice. "Um, everything's okay right, with the baby?"
All Leo could do was shake his head. Amy turned to Ricky and held onto him for dear life.
"What's going on," Ricky asked.
No direct answer was given. Instead Ben just told Amy that Adrian wanted her in there. At first she declined, knowing she wouldn't be able to handle it. She looked to Ricky and then knew that it was something she had to do. Adrian needed a friend right now and if this was all Amy could do, then she would, leaving Ricky standing there with reddened eyes and tears forming.
"The baby was okay yesterday," Leo said to Ricky. "She was okay but today she's gone and Ben and Adrian, Ben and Adrian are never gonna be the same."
