Wade shook his head a little. "But you will have to tell him sooner or later," Wade couldn't bear to see John raising someone else's child that he would have believed that it was his. "How many weeks are you, Randy?"
"Three weeks since Monday," Randy said to him quietly. "Please just give me time to tell him."
Wade groaned at him softly. "Okay," he muttered as he took a sip of his tea to wake himself up more. "Just don't leave it for too long, okay?"
Randy nodded at him slowly. "Okay, I won't," he answered with a nervous look on his face.
"Well, I have made you some breakfast earlier," Wade said, pointing over to the oven. "I put it in the oven to make sure that it is warm for you."
Randy stared at him very wryly as he got his plate out of the oven and he immedicately regretted doing that.
"OW! It's so hot!" he cried out as he put down the plate quickly onto a platemat that was opposite of where Wade was sitting.
Wade shook his head in annoyance. "Didn't you hear what I just said to you?" he said, making his eyes go back to the newspaper that he was earlier focusing on before Randy had came in.
"I did not," Randy replied honestly and grinned down at the food in front of him. "Well, Wade. You always did have the skill of making good old-fashioned breakfasts."
"Well, to be very honest with you, Randy," Wade said with a light flush on his face. "I was just very hungry this morning."
Randy laughed softly. "So am I, Wade," He replied to him as he saw John wander into the room and he took a seat beside Wade. "Good morning, John."
"Good morning, Randy," John murmured as he had his attention on a leaflet that was in his hands.
Wade glanced at it with curiousity in his eyes. "What is that you have got there, John?" he asked as he took another sip of his drink.
"Oh," John shrugged his shoulders. "It is nothing much honestly."
Randy reached over and pushed the leaflet down to see the front cover of it. A University prospectus? he thought in shock. Why on earth is he looking at this for?
"John, are you actually thinking of going back to University?" He asked with a surprised look on his face.
John bit his lip nervously and nodded his head slowly. "Would you really have a problem with this, Randy?" he asked quietly.
"Not if it does not interfere with all your current commitments that you have."
John stared at him with a puzzled expression on his face. "With my work at Cena Exchange?" he asked in confusion.
Randy shook his head quickly. "No," he said. "I was actually talking about your commitment to me, John."
John gave him a hard glare and pushed his chair back away from the table. "Believe me, Randy," he said calmly. "You will not have anything to be worried about."
Randy frowned at him. "I think that I would be the judge of that, John," he snapped a little.
Wade glanced at the both of them with a worried look on his face. "John," he said, sighing in relief as the older man looked at him. "Can I ask what you are enrolling for?"
"Well, I thought that maybe I could finish off my business degree," John explained. "That is if it is possible for me to do."
Randy smirked. "What would make you think that you can just pick up where you had left off eight years ago?" he asked cruelly.
John looked at him with a hurt look. "Randy, I thought that you would be happy if I did something for myself," John got up slowly and walked over to the kitchen door. "It is obvious that I was completely wrong."
Before Randy could reply to him, John had left the room and Wade had watched him leave very closely. He could tell that John was very serious about this; but Randy was too stubborn and arrogant to understand...
Later in John's room
Wade walked into John's room and he stood in the doorway. "You are being serious about finishing your degree, aren't you?" Wade asked gently.
"Of course I am, Wade," John said to sadily to him. "I really do need this for myself, Wade. I was a total failure the last time I was at University. I thought that maybe I could have a second chance at it again and that I could make things there all right this time."
Wade moved closer to him and said, "Can I have a look at the courses that you want to take?" John nodded and handed the papers to him, watching him look through them. "You really do want to do all of this, don't you, John?"
John nodded. "I really do, Wade," he said desperately.
"You would do whatever it would take to do this?" he asked, as he handed the papers back to John.
"Yes," John answered to him with confidence. "I would do whatever it would take."
Wade took a deep breath. "And when you would fall pregnant?" he said to him quietly.
John hesitated a little. "I would like to continue to study," he replied seriously. "It will not be easy for me, but I will definitely do it."
Wade beamed at him with a proud smile on his face. "I will discuss this with Randy later, okay?" he said.
John looked at him happily. "Thank you, Wade," he said politely.
At Cena Exchange
As May fell into the month of June, John shook his head softly and sighed. He put down his pen quickly and got up from his desk with some contracts in his hands, making his way over to Chris.
"Hey, Chris," John said, as he place the contracts down on Chris' desk and gave him a warm smile. "Could you get all of these couriered to Mr. Slater as soon as possible?"
"Of course I can, John," Chris grinned. "Oh, Randy called down to our department and he had left a message for you. He didn't sound very well so he went to head on home very early."
"He isn't feeling well?" John asked nervously. "Did he tell you why?"
"Nope," Chris shook his head and took a look at the contracts on his desk. "It could be the flu."
John was pretty sure that it was something else that was making Randy feel ill. "Chris, can you please cancel all of my other appointments?" he asked as he headed for the department door.
"But-"
But John left before he could say another word. Was Randy pregnant? John thought to himself. Is he?
Traffic was slow on the way back to Randy's home and the rain was making things worse for him. Ahead of him, he saw flashing lights of red and blue. Was it the police, a fire truck or was it an ambulance? John got out of his car and he rushed towards the cause of the traffic jam at the intersection.
John gasped in horror at what he saw in front of him. He saw an all-too-familiar vehicle that was wrapped around a power pole and he was breathing heavily in fear.
Randy's car!
