Thank you all for your comments, I hope this chapter lives up to the expectations. This is my first story, but I got good comments back and decided to write a new chapter. Sorry I haven't updated in a long time. Things have been so hectic and I had major writer's block. I have big plans for the next chapter, and I had a hard time thinking about how to get there, so I hope you like it. By the way, I didn't mention this but it's summer, school is out and Ricky's over at Amy's house all the time.

Chapter 11
Moving Out
Today was the day that Ricky and Amy could finally bring home John. He had to stay in the hospital for a few days after he was moved up out of the ICU to the Recovery room. The doctors said that he was a fighter, both Amy and Ricky agreed, he had made it being born early, having a teenage mother, and now this. Once they loaded everyone in the car, as well as all of the 'get well' balloons that their friends had given to him, they were on there way back home.
"You know on Wednesday is John's one month birthday." Ricky said turning towards Amy, who was sitting in the back with John.
"Uh, huh." She replied tickling John on the cheek. He smiled back, she loved his smile as she did everything else about him, it all reminded her of Ricky.
"And next month is our anniversary." He didn't look back at her this time.
"Of what?" Amy questioned, she looked up at him and saw his concentrated gaze in the mirror, she knew the answer yet she couldn't believe that he remembered it.
"Band Camp." Their eyes meet in the rear view mirror she pulled her eyes away and gave her attention back to John who was awake listening to his mom and dad talk.
"Yeah, I guess it is." She paused and smiled to herself. "I can't believe you remembered."
"You'd be surprised." Just then they pulled into the driveway, Amy's mom and David came were waiting for them at the front door. Ricky didn't finish what he was saying and Amy could only wonder what he meant. It would drive her crazy trying to figure it out.
Amy stepped out of the car and Ricky got John from the back. She walked up to her mom, who had a huge grin on her face and David's arm was around her waist. Ugh, she hated David even though she had only meet him once before and that was when he came to bring John a teddy bear.
"What's he doing here?" Amy asked folding her arms across her stomach. Ricky had gotten John out of the car and was now standing beside Amy.
"Amy don't be rude." Anne rubbed her hand over David's arm. "David is going to move in with us."
"What!?" Amy screamed, she paused for a few seconds considering her decision. "Well then me and John are moving in with Ricky." Ricky looked away trying not to get into this.
"What Amy?" Her mom looked heartbroken. "Ricky is this true." She knew that she could get to Ricky.
"Uh well, um." He didn't know what to say, if he said the wrong thing then she might not let them move in with him.
"Yes mom, if you're going to be with David and your baby, then I'm gonna be with Ricky and John." She brushed Anne's arm as she walked past her into the house. "I'll be gone by Saturday." David pulled Anne into a hug as Ricky walked behind Amy to the front door.
"Amy are you sure you want to move in with me, I mean you don't you want your mom to help you with John?" Ricky picked up John and put him in his crib. Both Amy and Ricky sat down on her bed to talk about this.
"I'm positive. My mom wouldn't be capable to help me once she had her baby anyways. This way you'll be able to see John more, and I'll be able to spend all my time with you."
Ricky placed his hand in hers and they passionately kissed. She could feel his moist, smooth lips overlap hers then move there way down her neck, he transitioned his hands to her waist and rubbed up and down her back. Before he pulled away.
"Okay," he said. "Do you want me to start moving all of your all's stuff?" He got up of the bed, because if he didn't he would be tempted more than he already is.
"Um yeah, if that's fine with you." She got up off the bed too. "I guess you can start to take over his clothes and then get his crib tomorrow." She said smiling at him.
"I'm just gonna step out and call my foster mom." Ricky really needed to think about all of this. It had happened so fast and don't get him wrong, he wanted them to move in with him. He walked out of her bedroom and heard Anne and David in her room talking about something. He went out the front door and called Margaret.
"Hey Margaret." He said. "Is it alright if Amy and John move in to our house, cause her moms pregnant and her boyfriend is moving in there?" Ricky leaned against the hood of his car.
"Ricky, why did you go and get yourself into this?" She paused on the other end. "Well I guess it's okay. But you still have to go to school, and don't expect me to take care of John all the time. Of course I'll help out but you'll have to be responsible too."
"Great thanks!" Ricky replied quickly and then hung up. He shoved his phone into his pocket and went back inside. When he walked into Amy's room she already had a suitcase out and was packing up some of her clothes.
"Want me to help?" Ricky asked.
"Sure, there's a suitcase over there," she pointed across the room. "You can start to pack some of John's clothes." He picked it up and laid it on her bed. He went into the nursery and brought in stacks of onesies. He put them in the suitcase and went back for more. Ricky made five trips back and fourth before the dresser was empty and the bag was full. Amy all of her cloths packed, at least the ones that she could still fit her.
"I'll load these in the car, then I can begin taking apart John's crib, changing table, and dresser." Ricky hadn't planned on John staying with him much so he didn't really have anything at his house. It was midnight before they were done packing everything. When Ricky came in with the last load of things Amy was asleep with John in her arms. He laid down beside Amy and kissed them both, John on the forehead and Amy lightly on the lips before falling into a deep, peaceful sleep.
