Lynn was surprised by Steve's reaction.
Steve, will I take care a child without the father?
Lynn, I just said I'm not running from my responsibility as a father.
It's because of her, is not it? Catherine appears and you change from water to wine.
I didn't understand how this pregnancy occurred. We always use condoms. Steve said.
The condom tore that day, Steve. You forgot?
One time, Lynn.
That was enough. Lynn said.
OK. If you need anything, you know where to find me. Steve said.
Is that it, Steve? Are you going to be a bastard to me?
Lynn, we're adults. You are a woman and not an innocent girl. The pregnancy happened, all right. I'm going to take over my son. But I will not marry out of obligation. If I do, we'll be two unfortunates.
She had a glass of wine in her hand.
You Shouldn't be drinking this. Steve said referring to the wine.
You're right, I'll not drink it. Lynn said, tossing the wine into Steve's face.
Steve didn't believe what she had just done.
Go away! Lynn said.
Okay, said Steve, leaving.
Steve went home upset. His day had been so good with Catherine, and in the end she had sent him out of her house. Lynn disrespected him by throwing a glass of wine in his face.
Steve came home and Junior was sleeping on the couch. Steve went straight to his room, took a shower, and lay down.
He was thinking about his life. Catherine had returned to stay in Hawaii. This news stirred his feelings in an incredible way. He thought they might be together again, but he didn't expect Lynn to be pregnant.
Steve's phone rang. Steve looked to know who was calling him.
What do you want, Lynn? You want me to go to your house, so you throw something else in my face?
No, Steve. I just wanted to say sorry. Today is Saturday, let's go out, have fun.
No, I don't want to go anywhere. I'm ready to sleep. Goodbye.
Goodbye, Steve.
Damn it! Lynn said.
Lynn picked up another bottle of wine.
Lynn had been drinking a lot of wine since the time Steve had left her house.
Some time later, Lynn called Melissa. Melissa was preparing something to eat and Danny was in the shower.
Lynn?
Melissa, Steve is an ordinary. Always to Catherine, always to Catherine. Lynn said.
Lynn, what happened? Are you drunk?
What if I am?
Lynn, you can't drink that much. It's bad for the baby.
What baby? There's no baby, Melissa!
Oh my God ! You lied! Steve's going to hate you, Lynn.
You'll not tell him anything. If you tell Steve, you know I have some things to tell Danny about you.
I'll not tell him, but you have no right to threaten me. I'm your friend.
So keep your mouth shut. Lynn said.
Steve had already slept when his phone rang again. Steve answered without even looking who was calling, thinking it was Lynn again.
What do you want now, Lynn? Steve asked irritably.
It's me, Catherine.
Cath? I'm sorry, Cath.
Okay. I just called to say that I'm sorry for sending you out of my house. Catherine said softly.
It's all right, Catherine.
Understand me, Steve. You know my feelings for you. This news about the child fell like a bomb in my life. I know you had the right to move on, but I can't help the disappointment that this news has caused me. I'm so sorry.
It's okay, Cath.I understand.
But I want you to be happy with your son.
Catherine, I'm not marrying her. My commitment is to the child, not to Lynn.
Catherine remained silent.
Cath, are you still there?
Yes, Steve. I'm here. I have to go to bed. I'm going to have a lot of work tomorrow at the company. We'll start the company's activities on Monday. Wish me luck.
Good luck, Cath. When do I see you again?
I don't know, Steve. Give me a break. I need some time to think about it all. Thank you for the wonderful day we had together. Good evening.
Good evening, Cath.
Catherine hung up the phone and Steve felt more relaxed. Her voice had a calming effect on him.
