Amelia was still trying to figure out what to do. She took a late afternoon flight from her home to Nashville. She checked into the hotel and waited for Dean and Renee to get back from the arena. An hour later Dean came through the door holding a sleeping Renee.
"Hi. Amelia whispered.
"Hi."
"Want me to take her?"
"No." "I got her."
After he put Renee to bed they were getting in bed.
"Amelia why did John hug you the other night?" Dean asked.
"What?"
"The other night at the arena." "I saw John hug you." "Why did he hug you?"
"Oh that?" "He was just thanking me for being there for Paige through the pregnancy since I've been there before."
"Oh." "I can't believe it's twins."
"I know." "I'm so excited
"Me to."
"What do you want it to be boys or girls?"
"Well we already have a great little girl."
"Yes we do."
"I don't know." "Maybe boys." "Or one of each." "Maybe we can practice for more."
"How many more do you wanna have?"
"How many more do you wanna give me?" They kissed.
The next evening Amelia sent John a text asking him to meet her in the arena parking lot. He went up to her.
"Why did you wanna meet way out here?" John said.
"Dean saw you hug me the other night." "We can't take anymore chances."
"What did the doctor say?"
"Well I was hoping to have an early DNA test done but the doctor says we can't."
"Why?" "Is everything ok?"
"Yeah everything's fine." "I'm having twins and with twins you can't do the early test."
"Twins?"
"Yes." "John do we really have to do this?" "I mean the chances of you being the father are slim to none."
"True but what if they are my babies?" "Do you really want to go our whole lives not knowing for sure?"
"No." "In the process we are going to destroy the two people that we love." "Even if you turn out not to be the father, I cheated on my husband with my best friend's fiancée." "Either way we all lose."
"So Dean doesn't know yet?"
"No." "I don't want to say anything to anyone until Paige has the baby."
"Why?"
"I don't want to bring stress to Paige while she's pregnant." "When she has the baby we'll tell them both."
"She's not having the baby for three months."
"I know but I'm only thinking of Paige's health."
"Are you sure it's because you just don't want to tell Dean?"
"Do you really want to tell Paige while she's pregnant?"
"No."
"Ok then." "I'll keep you posted about the babies." She went back inside.
