Anne reveals her secret
I could not believe that I had even thought about wanting another child, my life has been a wreck from the beginning. I surely should not have another baby and not by a guy who never really said he wanted children.
I had been up the whole night contemplating what to do about my surprise pregnancy. I knew I would not have an abortion, but how would my daughters take it that I was pregnant? After that thought I heard some footsteps and I knew they were the footsteps of my two daughters Amy and Ashley. Amy had just made me a grandmother and Ashley was staying the night with Amy and John, she had been living with her dad since John was born, so Amy could use her bedroom as a nursery. I knew it was the best time to tell my girls even if it was four A.M. in the morning. Ashley came over to me wondering why I was up so early. Amy was the next to talk; she then proceeded to ask me if I had taken the pregnancy test yet. When those words came out of her mouth you could have heard a pin drop and no one would have said anything. Ashley was the most furious one of all; she asked me why I thought it would be ok to have a baby with the scum of the earth (her nickname for David) I quickly told my girls that I was indeed pregnant and planning to have the baby. Amy was furious thinking that I wanted to replace her because she had just had a baby and she thought I was saying she was a grown up.
I could not believe how that meeting went with my girls, they were so furious that both of them left the house. Amy decided to go stay with her dad and Ashley for a few days because she was just too angry to be around me. Ashley had cussed me out for even being with David, she felt like I was trying to replace their father and the marriage we had once had. I tried to make them understand that I was ready to move on and be with someone else, I felt like if George could move on even before we were divorced then so could I and I was sure going to do it.
(AMY'S POV)
I know I should have not left my mom like that, but I was so angry. When I needed her most it felt like she was trying to replace me and get rid of me. I knew I would grow to love the idea of another sibling, but right now all I could feel was anger. I was not ready to share my home or my life with David or his offspring even if it was my sibling. I truly did like David and was glad he made my mom feel so good, but I needed my mom more than he could ever need anyone and now she was going to have his baby, I felt so alone.
A few days after my confrontation with my girls I had a doctor's appointment to make sure that everything was going good with the pregnancy. I knew that after this doctor's visit I would tell David, I just needed to make sure that I was indeed pregnant and that the baby was ok and growing fine.
I could not believe how wonderful it was to see my baby on that screen. I could feel in my heart that everything was going to be ok. I just needed to figure out a way to tell David this wonderful/shocking news. I decided to go to his office with a hand full of balloons like you take to baby showers. He knew that I had no pregnant friends so he would know right away what I was using them to say. I had decided about two minutes before I went into his office to tie the pregnancy test to the balloons and video tape his expression to see how he responded.
When David saw me with those Balloons and the pregnancy test attached he almost feel to the floor. He was so excited! He had always wanted to be a father and now he was going to get the chance to be one with me. The next thing I knew he was on the floor with a ring asking me to marry him. I knew my answer before I even said it. I had said yes! I could not turn down his proposal, he loved me and I loved him and we were going to get married and raise our child together!
When I got home I noticed that Amy and John were waiting for me. Amy had come to apologize and move back in. She had talked with Ben some and he had convinced her that everything was going to be ok. Amy was kind of excited about David's proposal to me; she wanted to be involved in the wedding making decisions. She was even more excited when she realized John would have another grandpa. Ricky's father was in jail and he could not come around Amy or John when he does get out. We had put a restraining order on him not to be around my child or grandchild. Amy told me she could not wait to get back into her room and be a mother to her son in their own home. I could not wait for our family to come together for the wedding and the birth of me and David's child.
