"I don't think I heard you right." Baby told her father.

"You did honey. You're pregnant." Jake told an astonished Baby. "You are a little over four weeks."

Baby's heart jumped into her throat. "Are you sure?"

"Sweetheart, you are pregnant. It is as accurate as you can get." Jake grinned down at Baby. "Aren't you happy?"

"It's all so shocking. I just never dreamed I would get pregnant again. I mean I wanted to eventually but I didn't expect to this soon." A grin began to escape Baby's lips. "Oh my!"

"Well, congratulations honey." Jake said hugging his daughter. "I know your mother will be thrilled."

"I have to tell Johnny." Baby wasn't about to hold this one from him. "We are going to have another Baby."

"I suggest you go tell him." Jake said winking at Baby.

"He has moved from Philadelphia. I just went up there to see him and his landlord told me he moved out of state. I messed that up Daddy." Baby told him rubbing her belly. "I messed it up and now I am carrying his child again. I know now I pushed him away."

"Your mother and I felt you would come around eventually. I know you love him sweetheart." Jake could see the happiness and sadness in Baby's eyes. "We found him once we can do it again."

"Think I will be a good mother?" Baby asked him.

"Don't talk nonsense. You will be a great mother." Jake knew she was referring to her losing Josie. "You can't help that Josie got sick. It wasn't your fault."

"Oh, I can't believe I am having another Baby." Baby said grinning. "Who would know where he is?"

"I would say start with Penny. She should be down at Kellerman's now. I guarantee she knows. Give her a call."

Baby was in shock. She couldn't believe she was going to be a mother again. She just hoped now she could find Johnny again. He may not want to be with her but he needed to know he was going to be a father again.


Johnny had been throwing himself into his father's business and keeping it up and running. It seemed he was working day and night. He hardly had time to breathe. But, when he did finally have a moment to himself Baby would flood his thoughts. He was missing her like crazy. With everything going on with the business he couldn't take time out and head to New York. It would take him five to six hours to get there. Johnny even had to work weekends to keep it all going.

He wanted to know if Baby would still want him. He had to know. He knew he needed to pick up the phone and call her. He was sitting alone in his father's office when he realized he had to call her right then. So he dialed……..

Baby was walking in the door as she heard her phone ringing. "Hello?"

"Hey Baby." Baby knew that voice the minute she heard it. Her pocketbook fell off her shoulder to the ground.

"Johnny!" Baby said so happy to hear his voice on the other end.

"I know you are surprised to hear from me. How are you?" He asked her trying to make small talk.

"Where are you?" That was all Baby could get out at that time.

"I am in West Virginia." He said quietly into the receiver.

"West Virginia? Icame to Philadelphia looking for you. I heard you had moved." Baby said as tears began to form.

"You did? I didn't know." Johnny's heart fluttered knowing she had been to see him. "My father passed away a couple of weeks ago and I have had to take over his business till we can get it sold."

"I am sorry to hear that Johnny." Baby tried to hide her tears by using an up tone voice. "I wish I could have been there for you."

"I can tell you are crying, why?" Johnny could tell.

"Johnny I-I-" Baby had to tell him she was pregnant. "I need to see you?"

"Baby, I want to see you too. There are some things I need to say to you." Johnny wanted to see her so bad. "I don't want to do it over the phone."

"When can I see you?" Baby asked him.

"Well, the thing is it is hard for me to break free." Johnny said softly. "Seems like this is a 24 hour job."

"I will come to you." Baby told him.

"That is a long drive by yourself." He returned.

"I don't care. I think we need to talk too. I want to do it right away." She sounded a little demanding.

"Everything okay Baby?" He asked her picking up on something he just didn't know what. "Is something going on with you?"

"No, everything is fine. I am just so sorry about your dad." Baby wanted him to know that.

"Thanks. Mom is still taking it kind of hard but she will make it through." He said closing his eyes.

"What about you?" Baby asked him.

Her face was flashing through his head. He couldn't make it stop. "I am ok. I just got to the get things straight. I gotta sell this business and get back to my job in Philly."

"So you are coming back to Philadelphia?" Baby asked him as she just wanted to reach through the phone and hug him so badly.

"Yeah, this is only temporary. I just don't know how long it will take." Johnny sighed into the phone. "Baby?"

"Yes?"

"I might be able to come up there Sunday." Johnny said wishing that wasn't the earliest he could come up there.

Sunday was only days away but she felt like it was years. "Johnny, I will gladly come down there. I need to talk to you right away."

Johnny still felt there was something Baby wasn't saying. "Baby, are you sure nothing is going on?"

She kept telling herself to tell him. But she didn't want to do it on the phone. She wanted to see is face when she told him she was having his baby again. "What if I drive down tomorrow?"

"You're avoiding my question." Johnny said now realizing she was hiding something. "Tell me."

"I can leave first thing in the morning." Baby said hoping he would tell her to come on.

"Do you know how to get here?" Johnny said not wanting to wait any longer.

"You just tell me the way."
