Amy shut her eyes as the car bumped along. Her and Jeff were just getting
back from their honeymoon. It was about 3A.M last time she checked. She
sighed and titled her chair back. " We're almost home, Jeff whispered. Amy
slightly smiled, " Good" she said without opening her eyes. Amy fell in and
out of sleep as the car bumped up her driveway. The car stopped rumbling
and then engine was turned off. Jeff ran his fingers down her cheek gently
to wake her up. " We're here, c'mon" Amy groaned but slowly rose from her
chair. " Get the luggage in the morning" She told Jeff, while digging in
her pockets for her keys to the house. She found them and threw them to
Jeff while leaning against the wall of her house for support. Jeff opened
the house door and grabbed Amy's hand and went with her upstairs. Amy
flopped on the bed like a rag doll. Jeff sighed and put somethings away,
and got in his boxers. Amy had already fallen asleep, so he took off her
shoes and shorts, she rolled over and Jeff draped a cover over her. The
tiny glowing clock filed the room with a blue-greenish glow, it read
4:25am. Jeff lay down beside Amy, and stroked her hair lightly as he fell
asleep.
****************************************************************************
****************** The bed rocked back and forth, waking both Jeff and Amy
up. Matt stared down at them " How the hell are you guys?" he smiled. Jeff
laughed, while Amy threw a cover over her face. " Matt!" she yelled, " I
look awful!" Matt patted the lump under the cover " You look fine" He
laughed. Jeff sat up, "How've you been?" Matt nodded " Pretty good,
yourself?" Amy sounded out a muffled cry " Matt can you leave, please!?"
Matt chuckled and patted Jeff on the back, "I'll see you downstairs" Jeff
nodded as Matt left the room. Amy's head popped up from underneath the
covers " You've got some pretty weird friends, Jeff" she said, sitting up
completely. " Not as weird as you" Jeff joked. " Thanks" Amy said leaning
in and kissing him. " Good Morning to you too" Jeff said smiling as Amy got
up. She rummaged in the drawers for something decent to wear; she grabbed
one of Jeff's old jerseys and waiting for Jeff to get up, and they went
downstairs together.
****************************************************************************
*************** Waiting for them downstairs was, Matt, Stacy, Chris,
Shane, and Maria. Maria shot up from her chair, " Amy!" she said holding
out her arms for a hug, and Amy excitedly accepted and hugged back. " Oh
god, I haven't seen you in such a long time!" Maria smiled " Let's see the
ring!" she said as Amy held up her hand. Maria studied the large diamond
and nudged Jeff. " You got a good one, Ames" she joked. Amy sat down and
chatted with the girls as Jeff talked among the guys. " So how was the
honeymoon?" Chris asked, nudging Jeff. Jeff smiled " It was nice" He turned
towards Shane, " It was scorching most of the time, about 90 degrees!"
Shane laughed " So she's that good, huh?" Jeff rolled his eyes, " And you
don't have a girlfriend?" Matt and Chris burst out laughing as Shane said,
" Hey Shut up, Im just waiting for the right girl Matt rolled his eyes " Or
any girl!" another burst of laughter filled the room. Amy buttered a piece
of toast, while talking to her girl friends, and laughing. She made eye
contact with Jeff and smiled, Jeff smiled back, and both Shane and Chris
followed in the direction he was looking at. " You really love this one
don't you?" Chris said. "No," Jeff started " I just married her for the
hell of it." Chris smiled, " What about Bethany?" Jeff's head snapped back
at Chris's face. " Excuse me?" " Bethany" Chris repeated. " Where the hell
did you hear about Bethany?" Jeff asked. Chris pointed to Matt, who had his
arms wrapped around Stacy's waist. " I should have known" Jeff sighed. "
Stuff like that can really ruin a relationship, Jeff, said Shane. Jeff
paused, " Guys, she already knows about it, it's over." Chris chuckled "
For now, she's a girl, it's natural for her to bring it up in an argument.
The only way you'd get out of it, is if she cheated on you too, you could
bring up-" Jeff cut him off " I didn't cheat on her, he snapped. " Guy's I
don't feel like talking about this right now okay, I just got home and I
don't need any of this bullshit" Chris rose his hands " I was just saying."
Jeff cut him off again "I don't care, excuse me, he said while walking
away. Amy caught Jeff walking away from the crowd and excused herself.
"Jeff?" She asked, walking close behind him. He turned around, to see Amy.
" What's wrong?" she asked heart fully. He wrapped his hands around her
waist and pulled her in closer, they're foreheads touched. " I'm just a
little stressed right now" he whispered. " About what?" Amy whispered back.
" Just some issues with the guys" he replied. "Oh" Amy said innocently. "
Well they're a good bunch of guys, so I wouldn't worry, Jeff. You'll sort
things out" Jeff smiled as Amy ran her hand down his chest. " And anyways"
She started. " You're not supposed to be stressed, we just came back from
Jamaica." Jeff nodded and pulled away. " You're right, he said. " I'm
always right" she smiled. "I'm going to go finish breakfast, you go
upstairs and take a quick shower and Ill probably be out of the house when
you're done" "where you going?" Jeff asked. " Just out with the girls to
catch a movie or go shopping or something. I haven't seen them in a while."
Jeff nodded; " Alright, I'll see you later" he smiled, kissing her on the
forehead. " Bye" she smiled as Jeff headed up the stairs.
****************************************************************************
****************** Jeff stepped out of the shower to complete silence. It
was nice being home alone, for a while at least. He toweled himself off and
picked out black jeans with a gray top. Something he wasn't used to wearing
for the last two weeks, but they came back to Cameron, where the weather is
anything but hot. Jeff flopped down on the bed and looked slowly around the
room, it was good to be home. The phone rang wildly; Jeff jumped but soon
relaxed again. He tried to ignore it because he needed some sleep. " Hey
you reached Amy and Jeff, we're away from the phone right now, so if you
can leave your name and a brief message we'll get back to you" *beep* "
Jeff this is Matt, pick up the phone.... Jeff I know you're there... Jeff
get your ass outta bed and pick up the phone."
Jeff groaned but leaned over to pick the phone up from its cradle " What?" he said quickly. " Hello to you too" Matt started " Look Stacy isn't feeling well, at all, so I was wondering if I could stay at your house for a couple days until she starts feeling better, she needs some time on her own and-" " Did you guys fight, or break up or something?" Jeff asked trying to get to the point. " No." Matt started. " She's really sick" Jeff paused. "Oh, alright. How long?" "Maybe two or three days" Jeff sighed, " Yeah sure, come over after 6 alright?" " Six? Yeah sure, hey listen thanks a lot." Jeff smiled " Yeah, now let me get back to sleep Matt laughed quietly " Yeah sure, see you around" "Bye" *click* Jeff sighed and rolled back over to his smooth cool pillow. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep. **************************************************************************** **************** "Jeff?" Amy whispered close to his face. His eyes opened and they groggily looked her up and down. He shut them again " Hmm?" he groaned under his breath. " What's Matt doing unpacking in the spare room?" she asked. Jeff remembered the phone call and slowly sat up. " Stace isn't feeling too well and she needs time on her own to get better" he answered while running his hands across his eyes. Amy looked confused, but sat on the bed beside Jeff. He put his hand on her leg and smiled. " What's wrong with her?" she asked concerned. Jeff yawned before saying " He didn't say" Amy nodded, " I should go check on her then, probably after supper." Jeff sighed. " What are we having" Amy laughed " You've got to learn how to cook you know." Jeff sarcastically replied, " I know, but you are the greatest cook in the world, and it would be such a disappointment to lose the great meals you make" Amy laughed at his remark while getting up. " Stop the ass kissing, Jeff" Jeff smiled up at her. Amy slightly opened the door and said " By the way it's spaghetti, you'd better be down at the table in 15 minutes" Jeff winked at her. " I will" Amy walked down the hall way and Jeff heard her run down the stairs. He got up and found himself some new clothes to wear. **************************************************************************** ****************** " Would you pass the juice, Hun?" Jeff asked " Yeah sweetie, one sec" Amy said while grabbing it. Matt looked back at forth at them and mimicked them " Alright pumpkin, anything for you sweetness, cause I just love you so much!" He said in a girly voice. Jeff chuckled. " We aren't that bad" he said. Matt laughed, "Oh you aren't?" he started " Why don't you guys share some spaghetti and re-create that scene from lady and the tramp." Amy laughed out loud while twirling her fork around in the pasta. Jeff shook his head and smiled at the two of them. " Matt you're horrible" he said jokingly. Amy looked up at the kitchen clock, " Well I should be going to see Stace now, I want to check up on her" Matt glanced over at her while she got up from her seat with her plate. " She's really sick, Ames" he started. " I know, Matt. I'm not going over there to bother her, I just want to see how she's doing" Matt shrugged " Suit yourself" Amy ignored him while she placed her dish in the dishwasher and kissed Jeff on the cheek, "Ill be back in an hour" she whispered. Jeff nodded " See ya" And Amy headed out the door. **************************************************************************** ****************** *Ding Dong* the doorbell rang out in Stacy's apartment. " Coming" She said groggily. She answered the door to find Amy. Stacy had bags under her eyes and she was pale. " Oh Stace," Amy started "What's wrong?" Stacy peeked her head out the doorway and looked both ways before grabbing Amy's arm and pulling her inside. " Can I trust you?" she asked. Amy smiled. " Of course Stace, Im offended you'd even say that" she joked. Stacy smiled. " I think Im pregnant" Amy's eyes grew large. " What!?" she said in surprise, while hugging her. " Yeah" Stacy started " I took one of those at home tests and it came out positive!" Amy smiled. " That's great!" Stacy nodded her head, "But i need to ask you a favor" Amy nodded " Anything" " First of all" Stacy started " Don't tell anyone yet, becasue i don't know if its for sure, but can you call the doctors office from your house and make me an appointment?" Amy smiled " Sure" " Oh thank you so much, our phone hasn't been working lately, and i didn't want to make Matt suspicious by always trying to get my hands on a phone" She laughed. " Oh, no problem" Amy smiled. " I'm so happy for you" She squealed, giving Stacy another hug. Amy got home and was such in a happy mood when she got home. Jeff was sitting on the couch when he noticed her mood, I cant see why youre happy, when you got back from a sick friends house Jeff said not taking his eyes off the TV. Oh Amy said turning around Its not that Jeff nodded, Okay what is it? Nothing Amy said sternly. Alright Jeff said shrugging it off. Amy then stepped into the kitchen; she knew Jeff was busy with the TV, so he wouldnt bother her. She picked up the phone and dialed the number of the doctor for Stacy. Just then Jeff got up to get a glass of water, but heard Amy talking quietly on the phone, he paused by the corner to listen. Hello, yeah hi Amy started. Id like to make an appointment for an ultra sound Jeff gulped, and hoped he didnt just hear what he thought he did. Yeah Amy continued. An at home test was taken, yes.. Yeah it came out positive. Jeff grew wide-eyed as his jaw dropped to the floor. "Shit." He whispered to himself. Thats what Amy wasnt telling him! She was pregnant! **************************************************************************** ****************** Amy came out from the shower and snuggled in the bed with Jeff, she smiled and kissed the tip of his nose. Her eyes went back and forth over Jeff's face, observing his worried expression. She looked confused. " What's wrong, baby?" she said, running her fingers through his hair. Jeff's eyes darted around the room. " Nothing" he replied softly. " Ames?" he started again. " Is there something you're not telling me?" Amy looked puzzled and her eyebrows raised. " Not telling you?" She repeated " No, why?" There was a silence. " Amy" Jeff started, " You don't have to do this?" Amy shot up out of bed, " Do what?" she said confused. Jeff paused, and took a deep breath. " I know about the baby, he said slowly. Amy's eyes grew wide. " How did you, i mean.." she stumbled over her words. " I heard you on the telephone and-" Amy cut Jeff off " You shouldn't have even known about this Jeff, this is none of your business!" Jeff looked shocked " Excuse me, it is my damned business!" Amy rolled her eyes " Not really Jeff, thats an invasion of privacy!" " Privacy!? What the hell, Amy! This is my kid! I should have known about it in the beginning!" Amy moved away from him. " What are you talking about?" she yelled. " I hope to hell that isn't your kid!" Jeff was taken aback. " I can't believe you would say that Amy, We just got married now, and you're telling me your pregnant with another mans child?" " I didn't say that i was- WHAT!?" Amy said shocked. " I'm not pregnant" Jeff stood up, " Okay now Im confused, what the hell were you talking about!?" " Jeff it's not me who is pregnant, it's Stacy! i was booking an appointment for Stacy" Jeff thought it all through in his mind before smiling and flopping down his head on his pillow. He raised his arms up " Yes!" he cheered. " You had me so worried their Hun" He looked over at her and smiled " You're not pregnant" He laughed at his mistake, while Amy giggled and jokingly hit him with a pillow. " I married an idiot." She laughed. " Oh, you married an idiot, huh?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist. Amy shrugged " Okay, i married a sexy idiot" she said smiling; She wrapped her arms around his neck. " I always knew you had good taste" He joked, going into kiss her, and they both flopped down on the bed and pulled the covers up over themselves. **************************************************************************** **************** The alarm clock buzzed and woke Jeff up. Amy could sleep through a war, so she didn't even twitch. Jeff was invited to go to play a round of golf with the guys, since he hasn't been home recently. He got up and turned on the shower faucets and had a quick shower before he went, he tied back his wet hair, kissed Amy on the cheek, which caused her to whimper and roll over. Then grabbed his car keys and left. It was about a 15-minute drive to the course, where he found Shane, Matt, Chris and Adam waiting for him on the green. " Way to be late, dipshit" Adam teased. Jeff checked his watch. "Wow, a whole 10 minutes" and jokingly punched him on the arm. They headed towards the green, lugging their clubs behind them. Shane set the ball down first and as he went to swing, Chris yelled out a fake cough. Shane turned around and lifted the club up in the air, as to strike him with it and laughed. " You're all just cheating because you know Im gonna win this game, no doubt" he laughed. Jeff shurgged. " You never know, you could be the next Tiger Woods or something" There was a moment of silence before the whole bunch of them broke out with laughter. " Oh shut up you guys" he said as he struck the ball and it landed in the water. " Wow" Matt started " You don't suck.." he laughed and nudged Adam. Jeff laughed as Shane threw his golf club aside. Matt looked over at the bunch of guys. " Hey are any of you guys busy this weekend? I got a cottage free to myself and it has enough rooms for you guys to bring the girls too." He paused and looked over at Shane, " real or blow-up kind" he joked. The guys laughed and Shane rolled his eyes. " I told you guys-" they guys cut him off as they all said, " You're looking for the right one" at the same time. Jeff thought for a minute before saying, "Yeah Im in" followed by a "Me too" by Adam. They all ended up agreeing. "Alright then", Matt said " This weekend, see you there" ****************************************************************************
Jeff groaned but leaned over to pick the phone up from its cradle " What?" he said quickly. " Hello to you too" Matt started " Look Stacy isn't feeling well, at all, so I was wondering if I could stay at your house for a couple days until she starts feeling better, she needs some time on her own and-" " Did you guys fight, or break up or something?"
