Moving On
Chapter 2
Juno finally made it home. She successfully ignored something Bren was yelling to her. She got up to her room, plopped on her bed and sighed. She really couldn't believe what had happened, she wasn't even sure if it did happen. But all she could think about was Mark. She knew this next week would be complete hell, but she knew once it's over, it's over. She lay there on her bed letting her mind wander off…she wondered what might have happened in the basement if Vanessa hadn't shown up. They were so close...her mind continued wandering endlessly until she was brought back down to earth by her cell phone ringing. She picked it up and looked at the screen.
-Mark-
She instantly sat up and took a deep breath. "Hello." She answered.
"Hey you!" he greeted her, instantly making her grin.
"What's up homes?"
"Uhm, well, I- I told Vanessa I wasn't ready to be a father and that either she wanted to have the baby or keep me. Aaaaaand she chose the baby." Mark explained.
Juno's eyes widened. "Ohh wow. So you guys are..."
"Getting a divorce? Yes. We have it all scheduled and everything." Mark sighed.
"Wow." Juno was in shock. She really didn't think they would end up getting a divorce. They seemed so perfect. But oh well, Vanessa's loss. "So, I think I'll still give the baby to Vanessa and just forget about all the whole thing and stuff, you know?"
"Oh. Yeah definitely. I sure as hell won't see you any differently because of it." He laughed.
"Well good, cause you have indeed already seen me at my fattest, crankiest, and funniest-walking self." She chuckled.
"Listen, uhm, I'm really sorry if I made you uncomfortable in any way today. I just kinda-"
"Ohh no, no. Uncomfortable? No, man...I was actually uncomfortable when Vanessa showed up. Nah that was.." Juno trailed off. "exciting. And I don't mean exciting like watching an intense game of football or something, I mean exciting." She just realized she had the biggest grin on her face the entire time since she picked up the phone. Hell, she wasn't sure she'd even stopped smiling since her and Mark were in the basement. She loved it.
"Ohhh I know what you mean!" Mark laughed. "It was hell hiding that fucking hard-on right when Vanessa showed up!" he laughed again.
"Wow...now that's hot!" Juno let her mind flashback wishing she could be there at that moment again. She sighed.
"Yeah, that was a tough one to hide." They both laughed again for several seconds.
"Well, hey, I don't know what the hell is gonna happen in the next week or so but I think we should just do our own thing for a while. You know? Like, I'll just pop the kid out, you wrap the divorce up and you know, we'll get in touch after that. Tight?"
Mark smiled to himself. "Sounds amazing. Take care Juno, you know you can call me anytime. Ok?"
"Yeah defintiely, muchas gracias sir Mark."
Mark smiled again. "See ya loser."
"Bye jerk." With that Juno closed her phone. Wow, she thought.
The next week was hectic, just as she had imagined, and yes she couldn't keep her mind off Mark. He had called her the day after she had the baby to see how she was doing and let her know the divorce was final. Juno was ecstatic when he called. It had only been a week, but it felt like years to her. Now all she wanted to do was think about the future. All the baby shit was behind her now. She couldn't wait to see Mark, hopefully it would be soon, and he felt the exact same.
