Chapter 29: No change at all

A week had past by and it seem as if nothing had happened.

Samantha, on the other hand, has not called or talked to Martin since their last conversation.

Elena and Danny said they were going to move on with their relationship, but Elena still felt guilty; she couldn't focus on her own life. Danny felt the spontaneity of this process (fixing his own relationship) was moving very slowly.

For example, today Elena was suppose to spend the morning with Danny, but instead she decided to talk to Sam on the telephone.

"I have to go to Lamaze class this Saturday morning." Sam said.

"That's great." Elena replied.

"I don't have a partner though." Sam said disappointingly.

"You know you can ask Martin. He is the father." Elena reminded.

"I know it's just… it's still awkward between the two of us." Sam clarified.

"But your delivery date is in about three month, isn't it? I'm not trying to rush the two of you, but you have to find a way to be with each other, especially when the baby comes." Elena suggested.

"I said I wanted to be friends with Martin and I do… It just…" Sam faded off.

"It just what…" Elena wondered.

"That just it… I don't know what stopping me from being with him. At first it was because I was mad at him, and then it was because I was sad… but now I'm not sure anymore. But I do know that I'm not ready for him to go to Lamaze class with me." Sam explained.

"I understand…" Elena said.

Danny walked out the bedroom and was putting his jacket on. He was disappointed to see that Elena was still in her pajamas and talking on the phone.

Elena continued on, "… if you still need a partner, Danny would be more than happy to escort you."

Danny looked at her and said, "Escort who to what?"

Elena put her hand up to shush him as Samantha said, "Are you sure? I would really hate to go all by myself but I wouldn't want him to feel that he had too."

"No he wants too. Here, he'll tell you himself," Elena said.

But before she gave him the phone she covered the speaker with her hand and said, "I want you to take Samantha to her Lamaze class."

"What? I'm not sure about this Elena." Danny said politely.

"Please, it would be the one thing I would want you to do for me." Elena pleaded.

Danny took the phone and said, "I would love to take you to your class."

"Thank you so much Danny." Sam yelped.

"No problem. Bye Samantha." Danny said.

"Bye." Sam said (as they both hung up the phone).

"Thank you so much." Elena hugged him.

"But how are we minding our own business if I'm taking her to her class?" He asked.

"I know but we're not butting into Sam's marriage. You're just being a good friend." Elena declared.


Later that day Danny had snuck out of the house to meet up with a friend. A friend that Elena would probably not approve of, but Danny really wanted to talk to Martin.

Danny walked into the coffee shop and found Martin sitting at a booth.

Danny sat on the other side of the booth and said, "Thanks for meeting me."

"No problem, but I don't understand why you wanted to meet with me in the first place." Martin said.

"I wanted to talk to you about Samantha." Danny stated.

"Of course, what other reason would there be?" Martin replied.

"How are things going between the two of you? Is it improving?" Danny asked courteously.

"She said she wanted to be friends, man; but I don't know. She hasn't called me or anything." Martin said disappointedly.

"Have you tried calling her?" Danny asked.

"I can't do that?" Martin said.

"Why not?" Danny wondered.

"Because I don't want to seem like a bigger jerk than I am. She'll call me when she ready." Martin explained.

"That's bull…" Danny said ignorantly.

"I did a lot of damage already and I don't need to make things worse." Martin clarified.

"But if you want your marriage to work, Sam needs to know that you're going to make an effort. You need to make the first move." Danny enlightened.

"And how am I supposed to do that?" Martin asked.

"I have an idea." Danny said ingeniously.
