Chapter 3:
Amy and Ricky headed toward his car when they saw Ben headed toward them.
"What do you want Ben?" Ricky asked standing in front of Amy.
"I want to talk to Amy….alone." Ben said shifting Amy's book-bag and French horn in his arms.
"I don't think Amy wants to talk to you." Ricky said glaring at Ben.
"Amy can decide for herself." Ben said stepping aside to see Amy who was hiding behind Ricky.
"Your right. Amy?" Ricky said turning to look at her.
"Uhm…." Amy stuttered.
Meanwhile with Jack and Adrian
Jack heard a knock at the door just as he got out of the shower.
"Hang on!" he yelled as he quickly wrapped a towel around him. He answered the door to see Adrian with an amused look on her face.
"Wow! Even Ricky was never this prepared to see me." she laughed.
"It's not what you think. I just got out of the shower. Make yourself at home and I'll be back in a minute."
Adrian sat on the couch and was about to reach for the remote when her phone started ringing. She looked and saw it was Grace. Rolling her eyes she answer.
"Hello?" she asked somehow annoyed.
"Adrian? This is Grace."
"I know what do you want? I'm a little busy."
"Well I was just wanting to know if you were with Ricky tonight?"
"No, actually I'm hanging with Jack tonight." she said with a little smirk just as Jack re-entered the room.
"Who's that?" Jack whispered.
"Grace." Adrian mouthed back.
"Get off!" Jack whispered.
"Oh ok…….well do you know where Ricky is?"
"No I don't. Why? I thought he was hanging with you."
"Well he called and cancelled and I just wondered why."
"Omgsh. He went after her. Grace I go to go."
Back to Ben, Amy, and Ricky…………..
"Uhm…" Amy stuttered
"Look Amy you don't have to talk to him." Ricky said lifting her head and looking into her eyes.
"No I need to, I want to. I'll be ok." she said shaking her head.
"Ok well I'll be right here in the car, if you need anything yell. Ok?" he said.
"Ok." she said walking over towards Ben.
They both walked over to wear Ricky and Amy had sat just a few moments ago. Ben sat Amy's stuff on the end and he sat in the middle by her.
"I'm sorry about earlier. That's just not what a boyfriend wants his girlfriend to say."
"Well that's what we need to talk about. I think we should break-up."
"Why? Because of him? Amy I can't believe this!" Ben yelled.
"Look I love you but I need to do this. He is the father of my baby and I owe it to the baby to give it's real dad a chance. He says he is going to stick around and help out."
"But Amy I can do all that too!"
"I know but…."
"It's ok Amy. I understand. I just want to let you know that I love you and that if this doesn't work out I will be there ok? Just remember that ok? And I just ask that I can be a part of the baby's life too? Like Uncle Ben?"
Amy was happy that Ben was willing to be a part of her and the baby's life. She was going to miss him but she knew they would always be friends.
"Ok Uncle Ben." she laughed
Ben grabbed her stuff and walked her back to Ricky's car.
"I love you Amy Juergans." he smiled.
"Bye Ben." she smiled as Ricky drove away.
Ricky POV
I wonder what they talked about.. Are they back together or what. I looked over at her. She didn't even know it but she was holding her growing belly. I love that. The more I think about the little life inside of her the more excited I get. I wanted to give the little one the best father that I can be. I reached over and grabbed her hand. She looked over and smiled at me and at that moment I knew that I loved her.
"I love you." he said not expecting a response.
"I think I love you too." she said squeezing his hand a little.
Even though she said think that was enough for me. At least for now.
