Chapter One: 5 Years Gone

He pulled in front of the tiny home on the corner of the middle class neighborhood. He exited his car after he turned off the ignition stopping the drum solo that came through the speakers. Ricky Underwood walked the pathway pass the abandoned toy cars and chalk drawings on the side walk. He knocked lightly at the worn door noticing that the paint was chipped he figured that he should offer to repaint it. The door opened distracting him from his thoughts of paint and doors.

"Ricky, come on in" she said like she did every week unless she was upset with him.

"Hey, Ames" he smoothly said with a smirk playing at his lips, same thing every time they greeted each other. "How was your day?"

"You know same as always, never boring" she replied while picking up a toy on the floor "he's really excited to see you."

"Where is my little man?" he smiled looking around the one floor home.

"Daddy! Daddy!" John Juergens Underwood shouted as he ran into his fathers open arms "I really missed you."

Ricky held his five year old son in his arms hugging him close it was impossible for him to imagine his life without his little boy. Ricky and Amy met at band camp one summer when a make out session on a couch in the cafeteria went too far. At first Ricky regretted having sex with Amy when he found out she was pregnant but the moment John was born all feelings of regret disappeared. Amy and Ricky raised John through high school together with the help of their family and friends. They both decided to go to a local college where Amy was a freshman and Ricky a sophomore.

Ricky took in John's appearance his hair that was always slightly messy just like his fathers was a dark shade of brown. The eyes he looked through had Ricky's shape and a mixture of Amy and Ricky's brown color, while his nose was completely and totally Amy. Ricky thought he was perfect in every way.

"How was your day, buddy" Ricky asked putting John down on his feet.

"Pretty good" he smiled up at his dad taking his hand "nothing really happened."

"Don't lie" Amy nudged her son "Show Daddy that picture Molly gave to you after Pre School."

"Molly" Ricky teased his son "Who's that, John?"

"Thanks, Mommy" John whined to his mom as he walked to his room to retrieve the drawing.

Amy smiled at her son's retreating figure before turning to Ricky.

"He's such a charmer" she smiled at him "he takes after you in that way."

"Hey, if I never charmed you then we wouldn't have John" he smirked.

"I know" she bit her lip. "Thank God for band camp, I guess."

"Amy…"he started "Even though I would never regret John I'm sorry for everything that happened."

"Ricky, we're over that" she smiled at him putting her hand on his arm where it lingered until John entered the room.

"Here" John blushed handing the piece of construction paper to Ricky.

Ricky looked over the drawing it was two stick people holding hands and written messily above it was a note that read 'I LOVE YOU'.

"You little stud" Ricky smirked at his son "It's impossible for the ladies to resist John Underwood."

John matched his smirk before correcting him, "John Juergens Underwood, Daddy."

Amy smiled at her son before Ricky spoke up "You're right son Juergens are pretty hot too, you're one lucky kid."

John turned to Amy excitedly "Hear that, Mommy, Daddy said your hot."

Amy laughed "I heard, John, now I think its time for you and daddy to go eat dinner I love you, honey" she hugged and kissed him goodbye.

"Bye, Mommy" he hugged her back "I love you too"

"Bye, Amy" Rick waved to Amy as John dragged him by the hand to the car.

"Bye" she smiled back as Ricky buckled John into his car seat and drove away.
