General P.O.V
John and I had flew to New York a couple of times to visit Amy. During their stay at Amy's, Ricky and her hardly made eye contact. They spoke a few words to each other here and there. They talked about their school life and how things were back home now. Two weeks had past since John and I went to New York. Today, Amy was coming home to visit for a whole two months. It was still summer and Amy decided that she would pick up her classes in the fall. Ricky was running around the house to make sure that there wasn't nothing he forgot to clean up before Amy's arrival. Amy thought she should stay with her mom and she would drive back and forth to see John. Ricky told Amy that he didn't think that idea was so good and that she should stay at the apartment. Amy pardon for a minute on the phone and finally gave in. As Ricky was going crazy to make sure everything was done before she walked through the door, he thought back to that night when he and Amy revisited band camp.
Band Camp is the place that started the whole life story of Amy and Ricky. That was a night that could have been full of regrets, but in the end, the story turned into a fairy tale for a family. It was like another love story where two teens think they had falling in love but they were raising a baby in high school. John turned into the bond that kept them together and New York became the bond that tore them apart. While Amy was away, Ricky had time to think about everything that had happened. When he asked her if she was in love Ben, Amy said that her and Ben would never happen again. She thought she loved him for standing by her side during her pregnancy. Amy told Ricky that she had never been in love and she wanted to learn that feeling and be taught how to love with your whole heart. Ricky understood what she meant and hope in time that she would come back into his life so they both could teach each other. Clementine had tried to come onto Ricky a few weeks after Amy had left. Ricky told Clementine that he had strong feelings for Amy that he can't replace. Ricky saw the message that Amy was trying to send him all alone. Amy wanted Ricky to feel free of telling his true feelings for her. Ricky had went and seen Dr. Fields two days before Amy would come home. He ask Fields what should he tell Amy when she came home. Ken told Ricky to say his feelings from the heart.
Ricky was finished setting the table when there was a knock on the door. Ricky fixed his collar on his shirt and took a deep breath before answering the door. When Ricky answered the door, he found a smiling Amy staring at him. Before Amy could say a thing, Ricky had pulled Amy into an embrace. Amy belonged here with Ricky and John. She knew that and she wasn't here because she missed John, she wanted to rebuild her family back. She wanted Ricky and she needs Ricky in her life. Once they pulled away, Ricky took a few minutes to examine Amy before telling her that she still look amazing. She had wore the same shirt that night when Ricky was helping her with dishes and had pushed her hair back. Ricky and Amy moved into the apartment and took a sit on the sofa. For the first time after their break up, they were talking and laughing. John had heard his mother voice and ran into the living room to embrace her. He leaped into her lap and had held on tight to her. Never wanting to let her go. Later on, the family had enjoyed a great meal. Amy had tucked John in, with Ricky's help. After he was sleeping, Amy went into the living room and sat on the sofa next to Ricky. Ricky had a look on his face,which made Amy concerned about him.
Amy: What's wrong Ricky?
Ricky: Us Amy! I need to tell you so much.
Amy: What do you mean us?
Ricky: I mean about me pretending that I'm okay how you walked out on me and our SON! Don't you remember John? Amy did you even think for one minute that maybe we could start all over and make things work? Did you? No you just walked out of ours lives and never turned back. Didn't look back for one second.
Amy was sitting there hearing the words Ricky was saying to her. He was making her sound like a person who has a cold heart . He made her feel like a horrible mother. Amy had tears streaming down her face like a flood that you were trying to escape. Ricky got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen. Amy leaped up and followed him into the kitchen.
Amy: Don't You Dare Turn The Tables On Me. I Walked Out That Door, But That Doesn't Make Me A Bad Parent! While I Was Gone, Were You Getting Laid?! Having A Good Time Being A Single Man?! Sleeping around and having your way with anyway woman?!
Ricky: Amy What The Hell Is Your Problem? I Changed My Whole Life For You And John. Do You Think I Would Sleep With Whores When I'm Raising Our SON! OUR SON AMY! God Do You Have A Heart That Isn't So Hollow Anymore? I'm Being A Parent And Raising John The Best I Can Alone! Now I Have Held My Tongue For A While But I'm Going To Put You In Your Place.
Amy: My Place Ricky?! My Place Ricky?!
Ricky: Yeah Amy, Your Place! You Always Walked On Egg Shells And Never Stop To Think Before You Choose A Mistake! You Tore Our Family Apart By Choosing New York! Our Family Is Like A Freaking Divorce Family. Do You Want That?! I Sure In Hell Don't Want That! Gosh Amy, Why Did You Choose New York Over John and Me?!
Amy: ( Sighs) Ricky I walked in and out that butcher shop door not knowing what I wanted. Maybe being in love doesn't matter as long as you love that one special person with all you got because they will always have love you. Mostly because they love you with everything they have. Leaving You and John was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I'm so sorry for all the pain that I caused you. I'm afraid that one day you will stop loving me and never look back. The only way to fall in love with someone is if they love you no matter what stupid things you do to hurt them. It;s giving and taking not matter what. Falling in love with some is unconditional love that cant be replace. Like on those lonely nights and that one person understand you out of everyone.I love you so much and I thought if I came back upstairs that you wouldn't want me.
Ricky: Amy are you crazy? I will always let you back into my heart because you are a piece of me that I have been missing you so much. You have given me something special all men dream of, a son. Amy I just don't hold on to you because of John, I want to hold onto you because I'm lost without you. Don't you ever think that you will never be welcome back to me. I love you unconditionally no matter what we been through. ( Ricky cups Amy's face) Do you understand me, Amy? You should know this. From the moment we got together, I knew that I was never going to let you go again. Then I did but that's going to change from this day forward. I want you and only you. I can't and I wont let you go without a fight. I Love You, Okay! We are going to teach each other how to be in love and we are going to fight for each other.
Amy:(shakes her head and wipe away her tears) I Love you too and I understand everything.
Ricky: Please dry those tears, you know I hate to see you cry. I love you.
Ricky wiped away tears and pulled her into an embrace. They stood there for awhile and then Ricky pulled Amy into a passionate kiss. Maybe that was the meaning of love and loving someone. It doesn't matter how much they fight as long as you cant go a day without them in your life. Ricky and Amy had their share of fights after her moving back in, but they still love each other.
4 years later.
Ricky was sitting in his office during last minute paper work. After he was done with his duties, he took the picture of his lovely wife of 2 years and stared at it for a moment. Her smile always brighten up someone's day even when they were going through hell. After Ricky would come home from work, she would have a nice a hot meal waiting for him and a nice hot bath with scented candles waiting for them both. She was like a dream wife that most men would love to have, but to bad she's his dream wife. Ricky would be sitting up in bed going over paper work and she would come out in the most beautiful nightie and Ricky would forget about work. She could persuade him to do anything without asking. Mrs. Underwood had him wrapped around that ring finger. They shared fights and words but it never changed a thing in their lives. Ricky became the head man in charger at Leo's business. Leo decide that Ricky was like family and knew that he was right for the job instead of Ben. Ben had given up on being the families business so Ricky couldn't say no to the offer. As Ricky looked at his wedding picture, there was a little knock on the door. His secretary walked into his office.
Carrie: Sorry Mr. Underwood to walk in but, your wife is here to see you. Are you busy? If so, she'll come back another time.
Ricky: Tell my wife to come in and that I'm never to busy for her.
Carrie: You can come in Mrs. Underwood.
?: Thanks Carrie!
Carrie smiled and walked out the office. Mrs. Underwood had went around and sat in her husband's lap. She gave him a light peck, because she knew that when he kissed her so passionate that is was like a weak spell to her.
Ricky: How is my beautiful wife feeling today?
?: I'm feeling okay. How are you?
Ricky: I'm okay, I just want you to be oaky. After you finding out about the miscarriage, I just want you to be fine honey.
Amy: Ricky, I'm okay. All I want you to do is to keep me relaxed and I will get better. So what if I lost this baby. We have been trying for a year now. I think I should focus on us and be relaxed. Mostly we need to stay focus John.
Ricky: Okay. You were just hurt after finding out and I just want everything to be fine. I know that we need to stay focus on our seven year old, but I want you to be fine.
Amy: I will be, as long as I have you. John is 7, so we have enough time to keep trying and trying Ricky.
Ricky: While we have enough time to try, maybe we should start practicing kissing, because kissing is the first step. It was led to other things
Amy: You are sure right.
Ricky had buzzed Carrie, and told her to hold his meetings and calls today. Ricky and Amy had spent time making out in his office like to horny teenagers making out in a car. Later on that Night, Amy and Ricky were lying in bed talking and laughing. Maybe they wasn't so perfect, but they had a love that was full of flames and desire. Ricky wanted Amy a lot like she wanted him. Ricky turned his IPod on and held out his hand to Amy to dance with him. Ricky held Amy so close as they was sway to Trading Yesterday May I. Amy closed her eyes and reflected on the past years and how much they have gone through. Ricky spun Amy around and tried to dip her but they both fell on the ground laughing. But they were still in love.
Ricky: I love You Amy Underwood.
Amy: And I Love You Ricky Underwood.
Ricky & Amy: Don't ever forget that.
Amy: Now
Ricky: And forever.
Ricky kissed Amy and yeah we know what happens next. Two weeks later Amy gets a positive pregnancy test. Amy hurried down the stairs to tell Ricky the amazing news. Ricky was sitting at the table enjoying a cup of coffee when he hurried someone running down stairs.
Amy: RICKY!
Ricky: Amy what's wrong?
Amy: Nothing is wrong, I'm just very happy that's all.
Ricky: What are you so happy about. Was it because of the good night we had? If you know what I mean.?
Amy: Even Better.
Amy was smiling at Ricky but he wonder what for. Ricky started to get worried and he wanted to know what was making Amy so happy.
Ricky: Okay, Amy what are you so happy about?
Amy: Well I think its time that you get prepared to be up all night in nine months.
Ricky was confused at first but he caught onto what Amy was saying. He couldn't believe it, he was becoming a daddy...AGAIN.
Ricky: We're having a baby? I mean you're having a
Amy: Yes, we're having a baby. (takes Ricky's hand and places on her stomach. With her hand on top of his.) You're going to be a daddy...again. I can't till John comes home and find out.
Ricky: I'm going to be here every step of the way and I'm not going to leave your side for one minute of the day. Oh my gosh there's a baby inside of you. Life is growing in you.
Amy: Yea it's pretty amazing don't you think?
Ricky: It's extremly amazing.
Ricky leaned over and kissed Amy lightly on the lips. It was truly amazing that life was growing on the inside of her, simply beautiful.
