Two months had passed. Ava still had heard nothing from Adavar. She missed Abby terribly. She thought about her every day. When she went to her mom and dad for support they wouldn't even open the door. All she had was Randy. She was trying to get excited. Tomorrow they found out the sex of the baby. Ava was waiting for Randy to get home. He'd been on the road for the last two weeks. Ava was sitting on the couch. The front door opened.

"I'm home." Randy said.

"Hi."

"Hi." He sat down next to her. They kissed. "Did you miss me?"

"Yes." Randy looked down at Ava's stomach.

"Did you miss me?" "I missed you." He put his hand on Ava's stomach. The baby kicked.

"I think that's the baby's way of saying it missed you."

"Me to." "I can't wait until tomorrow."

"Me either." She said trying to sound happy.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing I'm excited about tomorrow."

"Ava I know you miss Abby." "I miss her to."

"I want her back."

"I know."

"I miss her." She said with tears in her eyes.

"Ava come here." They hugged. She started crying.

"Why did he have to do this?" She said through her tears. "I know he's mad at me but he doesn't have to take it out on her."

The next morning Ava and Randy were at the doctors office waiting in the waiting room.

"This is exciting." Randy said.

"Yeah."

"What do you think it's gonna be?"

"Well when I first got pregnant I was thinking girl." "Now I'm leaning more towards boy." "To be honest I don't care what it is as long as it's healthy."

"Me to." A nurse came out.

"Ava Saxamore?" She said.

Ava and Randy stood up and went back into the examination room. Ten minutes later the doctor came in and hooked Ava to the machine.

"Congratulations it's a boy." The doctor said.

"Oh a little boy." "This is fantastic." Ava said happily.

"This is great." Randy said.

Later that night Ava was in the living room looking at Abby's baby book. Randy came into the living room and sat in a chair.

"You shouldn't torture yourself like that." Randy said.

"Why not?" "It's my fault."

"No it's not."

"Yes it is." "If I hadn't m- She stopped.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"What were you gonna say Ava?"

"Nothing Randy."

"If you hadn't met me?" "Is that what you were gonna say?" She didn't say anything. "You blame me for this?"

"No." "I blame myself." "I should've known this would happen." "I should've kept my legs closed."

"Oh really?" Randy said getting angry. "Do you wish we'd never started this relationship?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know?"

"No I don't know."

"I see." "Maybe this was all a big mistake huh?"

"Maybe it was."

"Maybe we should just call it quits and go our separate ways."

"If that's what you want."

"I know you're hurting right now Ava but I have feelings to." He stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"Out." "I need to think. He left.
