What Could Have Been

Chapter 6

Stephanie walks into her house with her head held high. She wasn't going to let this incident affect her. In fact, she was going to put it all behind her and move on. She still loved Andrew and he loved her. If he didn't then he wouldn't have put himself through hell to be with her.

" Hey hon." She smiles and sits next to him on the couch.

" Where were you? You kind of took off after…well, you know."

" I know I did. And I'm sorry. I just needed to clear my head, that's all."

" Okay, cool. So, what do you want to do? The night's all ours." He asked, changing the subject.

" You don't have to work? That's a first. What did you do to get the night off?"

" I told your dad that I didn't feel to good, so he told me to take it easy."

" Oh, cool. I don't know what to do though." She simply shrugged and headed to the kitchen. " You want some ice cream?"

" Sure." He was about to go and help her when the phone rang, " Hello?" There was no answer from the caller, just heavy breathing. The line remained like that for some time and then the sound of a dial tone was heard.

" Who was that?" Stephanie asked, emerging from the kitchen with two bowls of ice cream. She gave one to Andrew and took her seat next to him.

" It was a hang up."

" Oh, look on the caller I.D." She suggested.

" Private Name, Private Number."

" Hmm. Guess it's a mystery." She said in mock spookiness.

" I guess so…" He looked at the clock

" Andrew, can I tell you something?" She asks, cutting him off.

" Sure, what is it?"

" Well, first you have to promise to hear me out first, no questions till I'm done. And then you have to promise not to blow up."

" Steph, what's going on?"

" Just promise me those two things."

" Fine I promise. Now what's on your mind?"

" Well, you know how we broke up for like a week or so in August?"

" I sure do. And that was the worst week of my life." He kisses her nose and then motions for her to continue.

" Okay, well while we were separated I kinda, um, well I um, got pregnant." She scrunches up her face and leans back a little, waiting for his reaction.

" You did what?" He seemed calm, if you hadn't known what was just said to him then you would think he was just asking a simple question, but Stephanie knew that it was much more than that. She had cheated on him, lied to him and gotten pregnant.

" I got pregnant." She cried.

" I know it's not mine so who's is it?" He asked in the same calm manner, never raising his voice or letting the anger and hurt show.

"That's the confusing part, I'm not really sure. There's like three possibilities and I can only remember two of the guys."

" Who are they?"

" Joey Abs and Taker. And no matter how hard I try to remember the other one I just can't. I'm sorry Drew. I really am. They were just there when I needed somebody."

" Okay."

" Aren't you mad at me?"

" I'm hurt, but not mad. Steph I love you. This won't change anything, I mean I don't really trust you right now but we'll work something out. You're the woman that I love. And we were technically broken up. So I really can't be mad at you."

He smiles and pulls her into a hug. She cries into his chest repeatedly saying she was sorry. What she didn't know was that the man she couldn't remember was the man that she had spent time with earlier today at the doctor's office.
