Mollie and Randy had been dating for two months. They hadn't seen each other since they decided to start dating. They talked on the phone every night. Tomorrow Randy had two days off. Mollie cleared her schedule so they could spend time together. He was going to stay at her house. She just got off work. She went into her bedroom and laid down on her bed. Her phone rang.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hi." Randy said.

"Hi honey."

"Are you still at work?"

"I just got off." "My back's killing me."

"Aw, poor baby." "I'll give you a back rub tomorrow."

"I can't wait for you to come tomorrow."

"Me either." "I miss you."

"I miss you to." "I hope my dog likes you."

"Patches is gonna love me."

"You'll finally get to see where I live."

"You gonna give me the grand tour?"

"Uh-huh." "Did you win your match today?"

"Yep." "Someone told John we were dating."

"Who?"

"I'm not sure." "We're friends with a lot of the same people." "So it was probably one of them."

"Have you lost any of your friends?"

"Some but not many." "Some of them think it's wrong to be dating you because you dated John first." "I don't care though." "I love you and if they can't accept that they can go to hell."

"That's right."

"I gotta go."

"Alright."

"I love you."

"See you tomorrow."

"Ok bye."

"Bye."

It around two o'clock the next day Patches started barking. A few seconds later there was a knock at the door.

"Be quiet Patches." Mollie said. She opened the door. Randy was standing there holding roses. "Hi honey."

"Hey." "Here." He handed her the roses.

"Thank you." "Come on in." He went in. They kissed. "I'm gonna go put these in water." "You can sit down." She went into the kitchen. Randy bent down by Patches and started petting her.

"Hi Patches." "I'm Randy." "My daughter's gonna love you." Randy stood up and sat down on the couch. A few seconds later Mollie came in. Randy looked at her. "You look beautiful today."

"Thank you."

"How's your back?"

"Sore."

"Come sit with me." She got out of her chair and sat in front of him. He started rubbing her back.

"Thank you." "That already feels better."

"Good." Randy looked next to him and saw a picture on the end table. He took one hand off her back and picked it up. "This your mom isn't it?" He asked holding the picture in front of them both.

"Yep."

"What happened to her again?"

"A car accident."

"You look a lot like her."

"Everybody says that when they see that picture."

"What was her name?"

"Pamela." He put the picture back.

"Is that your dad?" He asked looking at the picture next to it.

"Yeah." "That's Frank." "I should just throw that picture away."

"No."

"He hates me."

"You love him though don't you?"

"Yeah." "I don't know why."

"That's enough reason to keep the picture out."

"It's hard not having anyone."

"You have me."

"I know." "I just hope my mom loved me."

"I'm sure she did." "I'm sure deep down your dad does to."

"I'm not."

The next morning Mollie was asleep.

"Mollie wake up." Randy said. Mollie opened her eyes. "Sit up." "Breakfast is served." Mollie sat up.

"Randy, you didn't have to make me breakfast."

"It's ok." He put the tray in her lap. "Bacon, eggs and coffee."

"Thank you." He got his and got in bed next to her. "This is nice."

"Yeah." "Beats the hell out of talking on the phone all the time."

"I think you like that to though, like the nights when you ask me what I'm wearing." She said smiling. He smirked.

"Yeah but that doesn't compare to being here with you." "I want to ask you something."

"Alright."

"I get Alanna next month for a weekend." "I wanna bring her here to meet you."

"Does she know about me?"

"Yeah she wants to meet you."

"Does she know I'm in a wheelchair?"

"Yeah."

"That won't scare her will it?"

"No we already talked about it."

"I don't have anywhere for her to sleep."

"She can sleep on the couch."

"Alright." "You can bring her."

"Great."

It was later in the evening. They had just finished dinner. Mollie was in the kitchen taking her birth control pill.

"What are you doing baby?" Randy said coming into the kitchen.

"Taking my birth control pill."

"Oh." "Wanna lay on the couch and watch a movie?"

"Sure I'll be right there."

"Ok." Randy went back into the living room. A few minutes later Mollie came into the living room. She laid on top of him. He wrapped his arms around her. "Mollie."

"What?"

"Do you ever want children?"

"No, none that belong to me anyway."

"Would it be so bad getting pregnant?"

"It would be a disaster."

"Why?"

"Just because." "It's just not something I want." Not now, not ever." "Never." "Now, Alanna's a whole other story." "I'm sure she's wonderful." "I'm sure I'll love her." She looked up at Randy. "I already love her father." Randy smiled.

"I love you to." They kissed.
