""Baby... Baby Houseman." His voice spoke up softly. "Is it really you?" I blinked softly as I looked at him again. It was Billy standing there ahead of me.

She's with me. She came with me.

"I carried a watermelon."I replied to the daydream out loud before I even realized it.

"What?" Billy laughed as he looked over at me. His eyes showing that he remember exactly what I was thinking about. "You carried a watermelon, I don't see any watermelons here. I mean I thought we went through that once."He continued with the chuckle in his voice.

"I'm sorry my mind drifted off there for a minute. In some kind of wonderland. What are you doing here?" I asked a little shocked and surprised by his appearance.

"I got a part time job here over the winter break. You know a little cleaning here and there." He shrugged. "I thought all the students went home already."

"Tomorrow. My parents will be here tomorrow."

He looked her over. "You look great Baby. Really you do. I can't believe that you are here. It's just really good to see you."

"Thanks. It's really great to see you too." I nodded as I watched him, my mind drifting off.

No guest allowed. House rules. Why don't you go back to the playhouse? I saw you dancing with the little boss man... Can you keep a secret? Your parents would kill you. Max would kill me.

"Earth to baby. Hello is anyone home?" Billy snapped his finger in front of my face bringing me back to reality.

"Huh? What? I'm sorry. I was just thinking about something." I blinked

"What are you thinking about Baby?" He asked.

"Nothing important. Nothing important at all." I shrugged.

That's my cousin Johnny Castle. He got me the job here.

"Always the same Baby. You never could lie. You were never good at it. You were thinking about Johnny weren't you?" Billy looked over.

Bend your knees. Bend your knees. Down.

Watch! Watch my eyes.

Good. That's better.

Good, now roll this way.

Now watch.

Look!

Snapping back from my thought I looked over at him. "No.. Yes. Mmm no. Not really. Yeah." She sighed as she ran her finger through her hair. "Yeah, I have been thinking about him a lot lately. No matter where I go or what I do. I see him. I miss him." She sighs again. "There is just so much. So so much."

"Baby, why don't you give him a call? I'm sure that he would love to talk to you. I mean he talks about you all the time. I know for a fact that he misses you as much as you miss him, probably more. So just call him. He loves you and you know that. You have always known that. I bet he would be so happy to hear from you. See how you are doing."

"Things have changed. What does that mean Baby? You love him and he loves you. What could have changed so much that you can't work it out and be together? Unless... I know now. I know why you can't be with him. You are in love with someone else."

"In love with someone else. No.. It's not that. Billy its been four months since we talked to each other. Maybe he fell in love with someone else. Maybe, I don't know. It's just not the time. I should probably get going. I have to take these books back before I leave." I looked down at the books that were still scattered all over the floor and leaned down to pick them up.

Billy did the same grabbing a piece of loose paper that had fallen out of one of the pages. He looked at it for a minute as if he was studying it. A puzzled look came over his face as he slowly shook his head. I looked inside the book and realized what was holding was the piece of paper that was missing from the book.

"Can I have that back?" She asked as she reached out for it. "Please just give it back to me."

"Oh my god. You're pregnant. Baby you are pregnant. Johnny is going to be a father isn't he?" He looked over at her just studying her eyes. "He doesn't know and you never had any intention of telling him."

So what's wrong with her? What's the matter with her?

She's knocked up baby.

Billy

What's he gonna do about it?

"What's he gonna do about it? Oh its mine right? Right away you think its mine.

But-------I thought
