Hey sorry it took so long but it's a long chapter so I hope that makes up for it. Thank you to everyone who is still reading this story even though I suck at updating it regularly! Some people might be a little upset with this chapter but I wanted it to be unexpected and I like making it a bit unpredictable so yeah... Enjoy!
Amy sat on the couch in my family's living room. She balanced a large clear bowl of popcorn on her extremely humongous stomach. She was watching a movie she could care less about; all she could think about was the swelling pain her my feet. She wants to eat but at the same time she wants to throw up. Amy felt awful. Ricky went out for the day to do who knows what while Amy's parents insisted that she came to their house. They're sharing the house which seems like an extremely stupid idea to her. However everything pisses Amy off lately, maybe that's why Ashley is watching John while she's sitting by herself.
Amy got up onto her huge feet. She yanked down the skirt of my black short sleeve dress because after all black is sliming. She waddled over to the kitchen and pulled open the door of the fridge. Amy grabbed half a chicken, a large salad and some chocolate fudge that was hidden in the back. She placed it down on the table and was about to dig in when a wave of nausea came over her. She wobbled over to the sink and threw up.
Suddenly Amy heard a loud knock on the door. "What?" Amy yelled.
The door opened to reveal Madison and Lauren. They walked inside. They looked over at the massive amount of food on the table and then over to Amy who's head was still in the sink.
"It looks like you could use some cheering up," Lauren commented.
"No fuck," Amy groaned.
"Amy what's wrong? You never swear," Madison questioned.
"What do you think is wrong? I have this huge baby inside me. It's driving me crazy I wish it would just come out," Amy complained.
"Well do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" Madison asked with a forced smile on her face.
"No. Stupid Ricky didn't want to know. I wanted to know but he convinced me a surprise would be funner as if this pregnancy wasn't surprise enough."
"You should probably sit down, you don't look too great," Lauren suggested. She rushed over to Amy and helped her over to the kitchen table.
"I was totally fine last week but now that its three weeks till the due date the baby decided it was time to torture me," Amy whined.
The three old friends sat there in awkward silence. Amy had her hand firmly onto her belly as Madison and Lauren just stared at her. They didn't experience much of pregnant Amy last time also she did a lot less complaining that time; Madison and Lauren hoped it would be that way again.
Amy looked up at Madison and asked, "How are you doing?"
"I'm better, I had a while to deal with the grief and get used to the thought that he is never coming back. He didn't even really love me anyway, he always loved Grace, I was just a hook up," Madison replied.
"He may have always loved Grace but I think he also loved you," Amy stated.
"It would be nice but you know there is a lot of guys out there, I'm sure I can find someone who will love me, not just love my body."
"Yeah," Amy agreed.
"Yeah," Lauren added.
"So where's Ricky today?" Madison asked.
"I don't know," Amy shrugged.
Ricky glided his hands through her silky blonde hair. Their lips were interlocked; only parting to take breaths. Her hands explored his chest and back; touching places that had been left unsatisfied for months. He pushed her down onto her bed. It was light pink and very girly; just like her. She flipped him around so that she was sitting on top of him. His hands reached around her to her back where he pulled apart the clasps on her bra.
"Are you sure about this?" Grace questioned.
Ricky stopped kissing her neck and looked at her, "Yeah I am."
They resumed their heated kissing as things got even hotter.
"Can I be honest to you guys?" Amy questioned.
Lauren and Madison nodded simultaneously.
"When I cheated on Ricky with Ben, I didn't feel bad until everyone found out. And then when I found out I was pregnant, I felt awful. And I hate being one of those sluts who doesn't know who the father of her baby is. I don't know what to think about who the father is. I mean obviously it would be a million times easier if it was Ricky's baby since he's my husband and all but Ben isn't a bad guy either and we have all that history together."
"You wouldn't be upset about having two kids with two different fathers?" Lauren asked, "No offence but you sound crazy."
"No it not that, it's..." Amy stopped talking. She placed both hands on her stomach. She got up from the chair and looked at the liquid spilled all over the chair and the floor beneath it.
"What happened?" Madison questioned.
"My water broke!" Amy screamed, "Oh my god, what the fuck am I going to do? Ricky's not here. My parents are out. Ashley is here but she is watching John, fuck what am I going to do with John?"
"Calm down, I have a car. I'll drive you. Madison will help you into the car, I'll tell Ashley to meet us at the hospital and someone will call Ricky and anyone else who you want to come," Lauren instructed before rushing off into the garage.
Madison put her arm around Amy while they waddled to the car. Amy lied down in the back seat while Madison took the passenger seat. Amy pulled out her phone and called Ricky but after a few beeps it went to voice mail. "I'm having the baby met me at the hospital!" she yelled. Meanwhile Madison called Amy's parents.
While Amy was calling Ben, Lauren joined them in the car and started driving.
"Hey Ben," Amy said.
"Hey what's up?" he replied.
"I'm having the baby and I thought you would want to be there," Amy responded.
"Yeah totally," Ben smiled.
"Ok just meet me at the hospital, bye," Amy stated. As soon as she hung up the phone she let out a muted scream. "Ben answers but Ricky won't, what's going on?"
"I don't know but we will be at the hospital really soon," Lauren replied.
Quite a few minutes later they pulled into the hospital parking lot. With both Lauren and Madison supporting her, Amy made her way into the hospital. Madison and Lauren were at a loss when speaking to the receptionist, she went on about stuff they had no idea about. Thankfully Ashley soon walked through the doors with John on her hip. She handled all the paper work and questions and got Amy into a private room.
John stared blankly at his mom. She wore a hospital gown and had her long hair tied into a high ponytail. At the moment she was calm and contraction less.
"What's going on Mommy?" John asked.
"Mommy is having the baby, soon you're going to be a big brother," Amy forced a smile onto her face.
John had a huge grin on his face. He was precious as he reached over at tried to touch Amy's belly. Amy shook her head, her hand caught his. "Mommy just needs to rest John, why don't you go see Auntie Ashley or Auntie Madison or Auntie Lauren outside the room?"
John nodded and jumped down off the bed. He pushed the door open and was scooped up by Ashley who was walking towards the room. "Mom and Dad are in the waiting room and so is Ben, he wants to talk to you," Ashley stated.
"Ok tell him he can come in."
Ashley nodded and left the room with John in her arms.
Amy rolled over on her side and tried Ricky again but there was still no answer.
"Hey Amy," Ben smiled after softly knocking on the door.
"Hey."
Ben walked over and took a seat on a nearby chair, "How are you doing?"
"Beside the person I'm trying to get out of me I'm awesome."
"Stupid question, anyway where's Ricky? I don't see him anywhere."
"I don't know. I told him I was going to my parents today and he said he didn't want to go out and instead he was going to visit a friend or something. I keep phoning him but he isn't answering, I don't know what's going on," Amy stared sobbing.
"Hey its okay, he'll get here, I'm sure he got put his phone on silent or something."
"Thanks Ben, I'm glad you're here," Amy smiled.
"Me too, I can't believe this is the third time I've been in the maternity ward and I'm only seventeen," Ben laughed.
Amy laughed too, she couldn't help it. Suddenly she was so happy. Until of course she got attacked by a contraction. Instead of fainting this time Ben grabbed onto Amy's hand and let her take it out on him.
Once it was over Amy asked, "What happened to you, to us? Everything was so great at the beginning then you got Adrian pregnant and I got together with Ricky and everything got messed up between us. Then I struggled as a teen mom and you started drinking and doing drugs. And that night we ended up together, our first time together. I got pregnant and everything became an even bigger mess. But now here we are and everything feels like it will be okay."
"Yeah I know what you mean. In these last few months I've really tired to grow up and stop being a child on the off chance that it's my baby although it's most likely Ricky's," Ben responded.
"Why is it most likely Ricky's?"
"I don't know. You guys are married, you have a son together, and it just makes sense."
"Life doesn't always make sense, sometimes things happen that don't make any sense at all. Sometimes such unexpected things happen that your whole life is turned around and suddenly nothing makes sense," Amy stated.
"Yeah, I guess that pretty much sums up our lives huh?"
"Yeah it does."
"I'll go find Ricky for you, I'm sure he wouldn't want to miss the birth."
"Thanks Ben, you're a great friend."
Ben smiled before leaving the room.
Amy let out at loud scream, another contraction. It was going fast, much faster than Amy's last pregnancy. Amy was just hoping the baby would stay in long enough for Ricky to arrive.
