"We need ice-cream." Lita said the next afternoon while shopping with Trish at the grocery store.

"We don't need ice-cream. You do." Trish said looking at Lita. "It's November. It's starting to get cold. Should you really be eating a lot of it right now? You could catch a cold."

Lita rolled her eyes. "Stop acting like my mommy. I need ice-cream. Actually, I don't need ice-cream," Lita said putting a hand over her small bump, "the babies need ice-cream. They're asking their Aunt Trishy to let their mommy get ice-cream."

Trish rolled her eyes. "Okay. You get your ice-cream and I'll continue this list."

"Ooo." Lita said spotting something she wanted. "They want this too." Lita dropped the bag of Oreo's in the cart.

"You're acting like a kid. Go get the ice-cream."

"Okay mommy. I'll be right back." Lita walked towards the freezer aisles while Trish continued down the aisle they were just in. Lita's phone rang and she answered it without looking at the who was calling her. "Hello?"

"Hey Li."

"Oh, it's you." She said walking towards the end of the store towards the freezer section.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing. Just thought it was someone important."

"I'm not important?"

"Can't say you are." Lita smirked.

"Anyways, what are you doing? I'm bored."

"Grocery store. What? Maria isn't around to entertain you?"

"Make sure you get enough Oreo's and whatever else you want so I don't get a call from you in the middle of the night." John ignored her question.

Lita rolled her eyes which of course John couldn't see. "It's only fair."

"How so?"

"Because I said so. Duh. Get with the program Johnny boy. I'm pregnant, it's only fair people do things for me." Lita smiled only for the smile to vanish from her face and she froze when she turned to the left after picking out the carton of ice-cream she wanted.

"You need to stop using that as an excuse."

"Lita." The owner of the voice said walking towards her.

"I can use that as an excuse if I want." Lita replied quickly adding, "I'll call you back later."

"You okay?" John asked a little alarmed by the sudden change in her tone.

"Yea bye." She hung up the phone. "Hi."

"How are you?" The person asked uncertain of how she was going to act.

"Good actually. And yourself?" She was acting cordial. For now.

"Fine." It was quiet for a bit until he decided to speak up again. "So you're pregnant?" He asked earning a confused look from the red-head. "I heard you just now."

Lita nodded in understanding. "Eavesdropping. Nice. What else can I expect from you?"

"You weren't that quiet. You're in public. Anyone could have overheard that." Lita simply rolled her eyes trying to walk away. "So, who's the father?"

Lita stopped in her place. "That is none of your business." She said trying to walk away again.

"It's John's right? You can't lie. I heard you talking to him just now."

"That is none of your business." She repeated, glaring at the other person.

"I'm just trying to have a civil conversation with someone I haven't seen in over a year."

Lita sighed. "Even though it isn't any of your business, yes. John's the father."

"You always did have a thing for him."

She glared at him. "He's one of my closest friend."

"Whose baby you're having." The person added.

"Not that it's any of you business," Lita said starting to get very annoyed with this conversation, "this wasn't an accident, this wasn't a mistake. This was planned. I am not in love with John more than him being one of my closest friends. Like you know, I have always wanted a child and he agreed to have one with me. You know, not everyone is afraid to have kids."

The person sighed. "I'm sorry."

"That doesn't change anything."

"Li! There you are! How long does it take to pick out ice-cream?!" The two were interrupted by Trish. She stopped in her tracks when she saw who her friend was talking to. "Christian. Um, hi."

"Hi Trish." Christian turned to look at Lita. "You look good. Congratulations. I'm happy for you." He smiled and walked away.

"You okay?" Trish asked.

"Yea. Um, are we done?" Lita asked putting the ice-cream carton which was in her hand in the shopping cart.

"Yea, unless you want to get something else? Oh sorry, I meant, unless the babies want you to get something else." Trish said trying to lighten the mood.

Unfortunately for Trish, it didn't work. "No. Let's just get in line, pay for this stuff, and leave. Wait." She went back to the freezer and took out another carton of ice-cream and put it in the shopping cart. "I need another one"

"Okay." The two headed to a line so they could pay for the items and go back home.

Lita found herself home alone yet again. Trish left once again after she dropped Lita off at home, she had other errands to run but the red-head wasn't up for it and she just wanted to go home. She turned on the tv after she put the grocery away. There was a marathon of 'Friends' on which she was watching but not totally paying attention to. She couldn't help but keep thinking about Christian.

She got up from the couch when she heard the doorbell ring. Maybe it's Randy, she thought it could be him because he liked to drop randomly just for the heck of it. She opened the door and much to her surprise and dismay, Christian was there. "What do you want?"

"Can I come in?" He asked.

"Why?" She asked not moving from the doorway.

"I want to talk to you."

"Why?" She asked yet again.

"Please." He pleaded with her. "We need to talk."

"Say or do something stupid and I'll tell Dave to come here and kick your ass." She threatened moving out of the way so he could enter.

"Okay." He said hesitantly entering into the house taking a seat on the couch next to her.

"Now talk. What do you want?" She said turning the tv off.

"Your forgiveness." He answered. "Look, I'm really sorry."

Lita sighed. "For what? The way you were talking to me at the store? Accusing me of having romantic feelings for one of my closest friends when we were together? The fact that you told me you didn't want to have kids after I told you I was pregnant? The way you were distant after I told you I was pregnant? Accusing me of having an affair with John and accusing me of being pregnant with his kid and not yours? Or, or maybe when you decided to sleep with some bimbo the night I told you I was pregnant? So which is it huh? What are you sorry for?!" Her voice rising throughout her little speech.

"Lita. Calm down."

She stood up. "Don't tell me to calm down!" That obviously didn't work.

"It can't be good for your baby."

"Oh, so now I'm not pregnant with your baby, you want to start caring?!"

"Li-"

"I'm not done. Why the hell did you do it? Why did... why did you sleep with her?" Her voice was starting to calm down a bit probably because of how upset she was getting. She sat down once again on the couch.

"I was scared. I didn't want to have kids but that didn't mean I wasn't going to be there for you if you did have my kid-"

"So you must have been very happy when I had miscarriage." She interrupted him. Her phone started to ring, she picked it up, saw who was calling, ignored it, and turned her phone off.

He shook his head. "No. Why would you even think that?" He took one of her hands in his own. "I love you."

She removed her hand away from his, her eyes starting to well up. "No you don't. You never did."

"Lita. I will always love you. I know what I did was stupid and we have no chance of getting back together. I made peace with that a while ago but please forgive me. I... Please forgive me." The house phone started to ring this time with Lita getting up to unplug the phone.

"I can never forgive you for that. I loved you. Hell, I still love you. There will always be a part of me that will love you and I hate you for that." Her eyes started to well again with tears, she fought to stop the tears, she was not about to cry in front of him.

Her emotions got the best of her, she didn't even back away when Christian pulled her in for a hug. "I'm really sorry. I know I caused you a lot of hurt but I didn't mean to. I was scared and not ready. I did something really stupid. I'm so sorry." She looked up at him and saw how sincere he looked. She didn't know what overtook her, the next she knew, she moved closer to him and kissed him. He didn't back off, he started to kiss her back after the initial shock. The kiss deepened for a while until he pulled away after he felt her tug at his shirt. "Sorry." He said resting his forehead against hers. "I can't do this to you. I already hurt you. I don't want to do something I know you're going to regret later."

"Thanks." She said backing away from him, looking towards the floor. "I was going to regret it if we did anything and you just stopped me from that."

It was quiet for a couple of minutes until he spoke up. "Look, I didn't come here to cause anymore problems. I just came to apologize for everything since we never had a conversation about this before. I never got to properly apologize for everything. I shouldn't have spoke to you the way I did at the store. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did when you told me you were pregnant, shouldn't have accused you of being pregnant with John's child and not mine. I'm really sorry." She didn't say anything but just nodded. "This can just be our last goodbye and closure that we probably need from all of this."

She once again nodded in agreement. He got up to leave but stopped when he heard a quiet voice. "You know, I really loved you so much. I thought you were the one. I was so happy when I found out I was pregnant but... but you just had to say you didn't want kids and cheat."

He turned to look at her. "You'll find someone. Goodbye Lita." She heard the door close a few seconds later. That's when she decided it was finally safe to let it all out and she started to cry. She heard the faint sound of the other phones in the house that were still plugged in in the other rooms but ignored them all while she continued to cry and forget everything that happened with Christian the past year or so.

"Li?" She heard coming from the entrance of the living room half an hour later. "Why are you crying? What's wrong? What happened?" John asked her sitting beside her trying to get her to talk. She simply rest her head on his shoulder and started to cry some more. "What happened? Why weren't you answering any of the phones? Why weren't you answering the door?" Lita gave him a copy of the house key when they found out she was pregnant. He wasn't going to use it whenever her wanted, he was going to use it in a case of an emergency. He thought it was an emergency when she abruptly ended the phone call and didn't call him back. He thought it would be an emergency when she didn't answer any of his phone calls or answer the door when he came to check on her.

"He slept with someone." She answered.

"What?" He asked confused. He didn't know what she was talking about. "Who are you talking about?"

"Christian. You said you wanted to know why we broke up. Well, he slept with someone the night I told him I was pregnant. I saw him at the store when I ended our phone call. I didn't answer your calls because he was here." She finally confessed.

"He came here?" He asked surprised by her revelations.

She nodded. "He came to apologize for everything. We never really had a real conversation after everything that happened."

"Are you okay?"

"I will be. It feels... It's not... I'm okay."

"I'm seriously going to hurt him for this."

"No you're not. Please, this is exactly why I didn't tell anyone. Please." She pleaded with him.

"Okay."

"Promise me."

"I promise."

"You promise what?"

"I promise I won't hurt that jackass." It was quiet for a moment until John decided to ask her something. "You still love him?"

Lita nodded. "Yes. He was my first love as well as my first heartbreak. I hate him for what he did but there will always be a small part of me that will love him." She lifted her head off from his shoulder wiping her eyes clear of the tears. "Why are you here?"

"I was worried about the way you ended the phone call and then you wouldn't answer my calls. I called Trish and she said you were home alone so I got worried and came to check on you."

"I'm fine."

"Okay." He didn't believe her. He turned on the tv and saw what was on. "Ah, 'Friends'. The reason why you're coming into this world." He said talking to her small hardly noticeable baby bump.

"Are you talking to my stomach?" She asked him.

"I'm talking to our babies." He replied.

"Wow."

"What?"

"Our babies. This is so surreal." He nodded in agreement the duo continuing to watch the 'Friends' marathon.

"You know what I just noticed?" John asked after a couple of minutes.

"What?" She asked.

"Randy is Joey." It was true, Randy slept around just like Joey did.

Lita started laughing. "HE IS!" She agreed. "This is nice."

"What?"

"The two of us just hanging out doing nothing. Ever since you got back with Maria, we only really see one another when it deals with the pregnancy."

"Sorry." He apologized. "But that's kind of funny because Maria says I spend all my time with you."

"Sorry."

"Don't be. It's not your fault. I just need to learn how to balance my time."

"Well, you can go spend some time with her." A part of her hoping he wouldn't leave.

"Don't be silly," he started to say smiling at her, "You're right, this is nice."

"Yea, don't get too comfortable yet. Get up and get me some ice-cream from the freezer."

He just stared at her. "And why should I do that?"

"Because I asked politely."

"You didn't ask, you demanded."

"Well, I demanded politely."

"Politely? Yea, not so much but fine." He got up from the couch and started to head to the kitchen.

Trish came back home about an hour later. She was a bit surprised at the scene that she saw in the living room. Lita and John were both laughing and joking with one another with the TV on which didn't look like they were paying any attention to. She was happy to see Lita happy once again after the run in with Christian at the store earlier. She saw the way Lita was looking at John and she felt worried for her friend. She always knew that Lita had random reoccurring crushes on John and she felt like her friend was getting way too close with John emotionally lately while John probably wasn't feeling the same way about her, especially since he was in a relationship with Maria. She just didn't want to see her get hurt.

Thanks for reading. Thanks for the reviews.
