Chapter 12

-YAY! MORE REVIEWS! Thanks so much! Because of the reviews here is another chapter for you all! And remember this is a Margaret/Andrew story. It will eventually be that way.-

"I heard the news. I bet you are proud."

"Very. Sarah has her first appointment this afternoon. We are going out to celebrate later. You and your friend should come."

"I'm happy for you. Wait, you are inviting me to a dinner with you and your wife?"

"I am, and you should bring your boyfriend."

"Where are we meeting you at and what time?"

"7:00 at the Ice Club."

"We will be there. Why are you being so nice to me?"

"Because I want you to know that no matter what Margaret I still care for you."

"You do, how sweet. Thanks." She smiled. Not quite the reaction I expected but I wanted her to get out and enjoy life too. This will give me a chance to meet her new boyfriend. "If her appointment is soon, shouldn't you get going?"

"Oh right, I should. Could you finish this stack for me? If you don't get them all its fine. We will finish them tomorrow. Thank you."

"Have fun!" I heard her yell as I was walking out of the office.

Meanwhile at the doctors office.

"Okay so today is when we take the first picture of your baby and we make sure everything looks normal."

I held Sarah's hand in mine as the nurse put the jelly stuff on her belly to take the first ultrasound. We were both excited.

"Oh, this is nice. Take a look at this will you, there are two embryos in there. Congratulations, you are going to have twins!"

"Twins?" I was in shock. Sarah was so calm.

"This has been my dream. I've always wanted to have twins."

"Two babies, wow. Gammy will really like this news." I rested my palm on Sarah's tiny belly. While it was small now, it would soon grow to hold two babies, my children. She looked at me then wiped a tear from my cheek.

"Don't cry Andy. I love you."

"I love you too sweetie." The doctor came in and told us she was around 4 weeks pregnant which would put the conception right about our wedding night.

Sarah and I were sitting at a table near the dance floor at the Ice Club. I was beginning to think that Margaret wasn't coming, until she walked in the door. She was wearing a tight black dress that was very low cut and was slit clear up to her thighs on the left side. I had to control myself. Sarah was simple, she simply wore blue jeans and a white tank top. And following her was a man with dark brown hair. It was spiked up. That must be James.

"Margaret, back here!" I got her attention, and she walked over to us, her boyfriend was right beside her.

"You know my wife Sarah, and this is?"

"Names James man. Margaret's told me what a cool boss you are."

"Did she now? How sweet of her. So how about we get some drinks?"

"Sounds good to me." We walked over to the bar, leaving Sarah and Margaret to talk.

"Andrew told me you were pregnant. Are you excited?"

"Oh yes. I love children. Bryan was my first but his father was never around. I'm just happy that I can trust Andy."

"If you don't mind, what happened to him?"

"He died of an overdose."

"Oh I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought that up. Forgive me?"

"Its fine. James seems pretty nice, are you and him serious?"

"I haven't decided. I like him, but I don't know if he is the 'one' you know?"

"I understand." We returned and I sat next to Sarah, a beer in hand, while

James sat with Margaret, sipping on his beer.

"You don't drink either?"

"I would but since I'm pregnant I don't want to."

"I know the feeling." I covered my mouth. Lucky no one heard because the music was playing too loud.

"Andy lets dance!" Sarah pulled me out to the dance floor and we danced.

"Do you dance Margaret?"

I smiled. He had no idea. "Yeah, lets dance." I began to dance with him. We danced slow and fast. The DJ was awesome.

You never looked so good As you did last night Underneath the city lights There walking with your friend Laughing at the moon I swear you looked right through me But I'm still living with your goodbye And you're just going on with your life

He ran his hands up and down my body, and I let him. I haven't had this much fun in a long time. I guess Andrews idea of celebrating wasn't bad after all. Aside from my being pregnant, maybe this us just being friends thing might work after all. I smiled at Andrew and he smiled right back at me. I could tell he was happy with her. I was happy for him, at least for the most part. I was still jealous that she was his wife and I wasn't but eventually I will get over him and move on.

How can you just walk on by Without one tear in your eye? Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me? Maybe that's just your way Of dealing with the pain Forgetting everything between our rise and fall Like we never loved at all

The night came to an end.

"That was fun, we will have to do this again sometime."

"I agree." Just as James and I were about to walk off, I heard Sarah call my name.

"Hey Margaret, don't be a stranger. We should have some girl time sometime?"

"Sounds fun." I smiled then we headed to my place. "Thank you again James. I'm sorry if this is bothering you."

"Don't worry about it Margaret. I'll do anything you want me too."

"Just don't tell Andrew okay?"

"Tell him what?"

"That we aren't really dating."

"Okay I wont. You looked beautiful tonight."

"Thanks. So um, I'll be going inside now."

"One more thing. I know this wasn't really a date, but it felt like it. So there's something I must do." Then he kissed me. I was surprised. We were not supposed to be doing this. I was paying him to make Andrew jealous, not to actually do things with me. But his kiss felt strangely good, and I liked it. I smiled then walked into my apartment. I sat my purse down on the table then sat on the couch. My life was crazy. I was pregnant with a married mans child, I was pretending to date a stranger, but then again, I was beginning to fall for him. What now?

You, I hear you're doing fine Seems like you're doing well As far as I can tell Time is leaving us behind Another week has passed And still I haven't laughed yet So tell me what your secret is? To letting go, letting go like you did, like you did

Did you forget the magic? Did you forget the passion? Did you ever miss me Ever long to kiss me? Maybe that's just your way Of dealing with the pain Forgetting everything between our rise and fall Like we never loved at all

-Thanks again for all the reviews! Only a few more chapters to go until M/A! The song was by Faith Hill & Tim McGraw 'Like We Never Loved At All'. I thought it fit perfect with the situation. Anyhow loving the reviews. Thanks again!-
