BEN I'M HAVING RICKY'S BABY

Amy Jeurgens–Boykavich walked down the stairs of her three bedroom house she lives in with her husband Ben. She was caressing her slightly swollen belly. Amy had just found out one week ago that she was pregnant, but there was not a chance it was her husbands, she had slept with her former lover and father of her two children Ricky Underwood. Ricky was Amy's first real love in high school besides her husband. Amy knew it was time to tell her husband. She knew that her stomach would soon tell the truth and she knew it would come better from her than seeing her growing belly and guessing it.

"Good morning my love, Ben said to his wife Amy"

"Good morning Ben."

"Are the kids up yet, she said as she felt the new life inside of her tug at her heart?"

"No, they are still sleeping."

Amy is a proud mother to John who is 6, Emily who is 5, Leo who is 3 and Josh who is 2.

"Ben can we go into the living room and talk, Amy said because she knew it was time to tell him the truth."

"Ben I know our marriage has not been perfect, but what I'm about to tell you is going to make it seem like it never happened"

"Amy, sweetie what could you do that would make me forget our marriage?"

"Ben, I'm pregnant"

BEN'S POV

I could not believe what I was hearing, my wife is pregnant. It should be the happiest time in a man's life, but our marriage has been rocky for the past few months and we have not been sleeping together so there is no way that baby can be mine. I was so angry. I could not believe the woman I had loved since we were in high school and had 2 wonderful kids with was now telling me she had cheated on me.

"Who is the father Amy?"

"I know its not me, we have not made love in 4 months, every time I ask you if you want to have sex you say I'm feeling bad or I don't want to get pregnant"

"Ben, its Ricky's baby"

"Amy, how can this be Ricky's baby, you have not seen Ricky in 3 years?"

"He came into town, he wanted to see John and Emily and we spent some time together without the kids and the love we once felt for each other just took over, I feel that love for him again"

"Amy, you married me, you promised to love, honor and respect me till death do us part and now you are telling me you don't love me and that you love Ricky"

"Ben, I'm sorry"

"Amy, I can not be here right now, I need to go for a drive to think about things"

"Ben, please don't leave me"

"I'm not leaving you, I need time to think and why would you care, you want Ricky"

"Please forgive me"

"I'm sorry Amy, I don't know if I can"

BEN'S POV

I could not believe my wife, the woman I love was now telling me she did not love me anymore, I had always known that she loved Ricky, but I knew she loved me enough to marry me and to have 2 kids with, but now I think she never knew what she wanted, we were so young and impressionable when we got married and Amy had previously been with Ricky when we got back together and she told me he called off their relationship, because things were going to fast for him, she wanted to get married and he did not. Now I know that I was just a substitute for Ricky.

AMY'S POV

I can't deny that I love my husband, but when I married him I was looking for someone to take care of me and my 2 kids. While I have been married to Ben I have started to feel something for him again, but when I saw Ricky again it was just like everything we once had started to come back and I loved him again"
