It was early in the morning two weeks later. John was in the catering on set drinking coffee. Riley came up to him.
"Good morning." She said.
"Good morning."
"How are you today?"
"Fine." "Yourself?"
"Good." "My mom text me last night and look what she found." She showed John the picture of when they met. "She found it in an old photo album."
"Cool." "Look how happy you were."
Skye had just pulled into Kim and Randy's driveway. She knew today would be tough but knew she couldn't let on that anything was wrong. She went into the house most of who was coming were already there.
"Hi." Kim said happily and smiling.
"Hi." Skye said. They hugged. "You look wonderful."
"I don't feel very wonderful." "My feet are so swollen." "Let me introduce you around."
Skye had been there for about an hour. Kim was opening gifts. Skye's stomach was in knots. She felt like she could lose it at any second. After Kim opened Skye's present Skye went over to her.
"Kim, I have to go." Skye said. "I don't feel well and I don't know to get you sick." "I'm sorry."
"It's ok." "I hope you feel better."
"Thanks."
Skye could barely hold back crying before she got in her car. Randy was tuning up his Harley with the garage door open and saw her. He went over to check on her. She didn't see him coming up to the driver's side door.
"Skye." He said. She jumped. "Sorry."
"Randy." She said quickly wiping her eyes.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm sick."
"I know about the baby." He said quietly. "John told me." "Don't worry." "I haven't said a thing to anyone and I won't." "It must've been so hard being in there."
"It was." "I'm such a bad friend." "I can't even support one of my best friends through one of the happiest times of her life."
"You're not a bad friend."
"Yes I am." "I'm an even worse wife." "I've been distance with John for months." "It's not his fault, it's all me." "I wouldn't blame him for emotionally checking out." "I haven't shown it a lot lately but I love him, I do." "I'm not the wife he deserves anymore." "Maybe something needs to be done."
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing." "I have to go." She left.
Randy took out his cell phone and dialed John's number. It went to voicemail.
"Hey John." "It's Randy." "Call me back when you can." "It's about Skye."
A few hours later John had a five minute break. He listened to Randy's message and called him.
"Hello?" Randy said.
"I only have a few minutes." John said. "Is Skye ok?"
"She was here for Kim's baby shower today." "Don't tell her I told you but she left early." "She was crying in her car." "So I'd definitely call her when you get back to the hotel."
"Thanks for the heads up."
"No problem." "Bye."
"Bye."
At around ten o' clock that night Skye was in her hotel room. She spent most of the day crying. Her cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi." John said.
"Hi."
"How was your day?"
"Fine."
"How was Kim's baby shower?"
"Fine." "I think she liked my gift the best." "Honey I'm really tired." "Can I call you in the morning?"
"Yeah." "I love you."
"I love you too." "Bye."
"Bye." They hung up. John sighed frustrated. Not only had Skye just lied to him but like he had for months, John felt shut out. He looked at a picture of them on his phone. He shed a single tear. He didn't want it to come to it but he wondered if they were on the road to divorce.
