Chapter 15: Anger
"You what?"
"I'm pregnant. And he's the father"
"But... you guys didn't... or did you?"
"Yes"
In Chicago...
"Honey, this is great"
"It is, isn't it?"
He got up and offered his hand to me and took it and got up. He put his hand on my belly.
"How long are you?"
"15 days, I guess. I didn't count"
"I won't screw it this time"
He gets closer to me and kisses me.
"I'm so happy for us"
"We should start planning the wedding"
"A baby is what was missing for us to be a family"
"John... we've always been a family. And you forgot Emma? She's your daughter too"
I was pissed. Sure he had done it on purpose. I knew he didn't want to take her as his daughter. But I knew he would accept it, soon or later.
"Yes, I know. But what I mean was that this time I'll be able to raise him or her from the beginning" – He shakes my hand and brings me closer to him – "Let's go"
"Where?"
"Home. We can sleep together, then take shower and then sleep together"
"Is this your plan for a first date?"
"We're not on a first date anymore. We're continuing what we have stopped two years ago"
He lets his lips touch my mouth and soon we find ourselves kissing each other.
"John... let's do it"
We arrive at John's place and soon we go upstairs. He closes the door and looks at me.
"It's just you and me now"
He walked towards me and dropped me on the bed. Then he climbed over me and kissed me passionately. And one more time after. And again. And again. 45 minutes later, we're laying on the bed, each one's arms wrapping the other. He's caressing my hair.
"Are you sleeping?"
"No"
"Great"
I sat and looked at him.
"I'll go get something to eat"
"And I'm gonna take a shower"
He sat and faced me. Then laid me down and kissed me passionately. Half of an hour later.
"Ok, now I really have to eat. Our baby is starving"
"Ok"
He puts his hand on my belly before I get up.
"I can already feel our baby inside you"
"John... you're gonna be a amazing dad"
We smile to each other and I put my gown on and go to the kitchen. But I walk into the living room and notice that the answering machine got a message. I decide to check them. But one of them has an unexpected message.
