Adam stands in the window watching the sun rise. Randy is still pretty sore from his injuries and he's been having this horrible headaches since the accident. The doctor told him before being released that he'd have to deal with the headaches for a few days, maybe longer, but the doctor prescribed him some aspirin that will hopefully help take some of the pain away.
Right now Randy is fast asleep. Adam thought of fixing a surprise breakfast for him but then decided against it. It would be better to just let him sleep until he wakes and who knows how long he'll sleep for.
Adam flips on the small TV keeping the volume low, he pops in a movie to watch and turns on his DVD player.
He sits back in his chair and waits for the movie to start.
Randy begins to stir opening one eye then the other. He sits up and rubs his eyes before looking across the room - Adam is passed out watching TV.
"Awww, how cute!" Randy whispers before getting up and flipping the TV off.
He walks over to the bed and grabs the blanket, he stands over Adam and places the blanket over Adam's body.
"That should keep you warm, babe," Randy whispers.
He walks down stairs for a drink when someone starts banging loudly of the door.
Randy hurries to open the door and to stop the banging before they wake Adam.
When Randy opens the door he sees a woman standing in front of him.
She is calmly standing there with her hands in front of her belly, her fingers clasped together.
"Do you remember me?" she asks.
Randy stands stunned. He doesn't know what to say.
He could say 'yes I remember you but why are you here now after all this time? If you think something's gonna happen now, you're crazy. Why are you holding your stomach like that? Why is your stomach so big? Did you put on weight? Don't tell me what I think you're gonna say. Just don't tell me… don't say a word, I ..... I can't believe this is happening. I don't need this... Adam doesn't need this, our relationship doesn't need this. Don't say it. Please don't say it....Just don't.'
"I came here cause I need to tell you something… something very important and it involves you or I wouldn't be here. I think you need to know this and I'm sorry it's happened but I'm not gonna do anything except what I'm supposed to do, I know you probably don't want to hear it but I have to at least let you know..."
"How'd you get here, Sandra? I never gave you my home address. At least I don't remember giving it to you. Did I?" Randy whispers looking up to the top of the stairs hoping Adam is still fast asleep.
"No, you didn't, I read an article on you and Adam's car crash. I'm so relieved that you're both alright. Well, anyways, they said after you were released from the hospital you were taking time off and going back home so I did a little research and I was able to find your place," Sandra explains.
"Oh, well, what do you want? If you don't mind," Randy asks.
"I think you know why I'm here."
"Yes, I think I do....."
They stand and stare at one another before Randy's gaze falls to Sandra's belly once again.
"......You're...Y...You're...," Randy stumbles with speaking. He just can't say it.
"I'm ....pregnant," Sandra whispers looking sadly up to meet Randy's eyes.
Randy swallows hard. "I thought so. Are you sure it's mine?"
"I'm not a slut you know. I'm sorry, I'm a hundred percent sure it's yours. I hadn't had sex with anyone since ...the night with you. I'm sorry, I know this is gonna really ruin your relationship. I'm gonna go, if you'd like to talk more here's an address where I'll be staying for a few days before I head back home."
Randy stands staring, Not moving .After a few seconds he grabs the paper and sticks it in his pants pocket.
"I just wanted you to know. You don't have to have anything to do with me or the baby. But I just wanted to let you know that there is a child out there somewhere that is yours". Sandra walks down the steps around the corner and gets into a cab.
Randy can't believe. He just keeps hearing those words over and over in his head.
She's pregnant... Pregnant…What??? ..... Pregnant, she's pregnant, pregnant with my baby... I'm gonna be a father! She's pregnant wow!...
Randy feels dizzy, he stumbles on the floor, the door still wide open, him just in his boxers sitting on the floor. He probably looks really insane...
"I can't believe she's gonna have a baby," Randy whispers when he hears Adam's voice.
"Who's gonna have a baby Randy?" He asks.
Randy quickly gets up and closes the door.
"What are you doing huh?"
"Nothing, just getting some fresh air," Randy lies.
"Well who's having a baby?" Adam asks once again.
"Um........ a friend" Randy whispers while walking to the fridge and grabbing a Pepsi.
"Are you okay?" Adam asks walking up towards Randy.
Randy has his hands on top of the kitchen counter, his head bowed low. "No, I think I have a headache again, I'm gonna go to the store get some aspirin like the doctor prescribed."
"You already got some baby, Up in the bathroom, "Adam says worriedly, He looks at Randy.
"Oh... Well I just need some fresh air then, I'm gonna just go for a walk," Randy whispers not letting Adam ask to come along. He just walks out the door and to his car with Sandra's voice playing in his head again, "Pregnant. I'm pregnant."
Pregnant...
Randy jumps into his car not sure of what he is gonna do but he needs a drink and Pepsi just isn't gonna cut it. Not with his nerves the way they were.
