Okay, so as I mentioned on my profile, I had the urge to start a new fic after watching the last few episodes. I'm so sorry about my last fic, I wish I could tell you all when it will be done, but I really can't say I had all these great plans for it, and now it's just hard to piece it all together. Writer's block sucks :( Anyway, this fic takes place last episode. I'm really frustrated on the lack of Ramy scenes, and I'm also really enjoying the Bendrian love connection so I twisted last episode to make this to satisfy me :o) Happy reading, and please review!

xoxo Abi

Amy trudged toward the double doors of Grant High once again . She was tired, John kept her awake all night. It wouldn't have been the first time he's done it, she was almost getting used to no sleep every night. As she pushed open one of the doors, Grace Bowman opened the other. Amy was taken aback. She hadn't seen Grace at school since before her father had passed away. She glanced at her as Grace sped past, she was crying. Amy looked back at her before entering the school. She saw Adrian looking towards the door Grace just went through with a sad expression on her face.


"What's going on?" Amy asked her moving a little more quickly.

Adrian looked at her before looking over at Ben, who was already waiting for Amy at her locker, as he did every morning.

"What's going on is that your boyfriend is going to Italy this summer." Adrian said loudly and hotly, before storming off.

The smile from Ben's face vanished as he looked from Adrian storming away to Amy's angry face.

"You're going to Italy this summer?" Amy asked him angrilly.

"I... well, for a job. We have family there, my uncle owns a business, and my dad thought I'd like to go work there. You know, it'll be really good for me... to study abroad. They say that's the best education-"

"Wait a second.. how did Adrian know you were going to Italy?" Amy cut in.

Ben sighed, "I called her...to ask her for some advice."

"Advice?! On what Ben... sex? Are you asking her how to have sex with a girl, because I told you Ben I'm not having sex with you, not for a long long long time." She paused, "Or... were you calling her for something else? Are you trying to have sex with her because you're not getting it from me?"

"No!" Ben yelled, "I wanted to ask her how to tell you that I was going to Italy.. I didn't think she'd tell you. She's very mature.. I thought-"

"Yeah, mature all right.." Amy cut in again, rolling her eyes.

"I thought.." Ben continued, "That she would know a good way for me to tell you."

" …that you are leaving me for months to go to Italy? How could you leave me here all by myself?" Amy yelled as she slammed her locker shut.

"Well, you could come with me...if you wanted to.." Ben told her biting his lip.

"Really? I could?" she asked, her eyes growing wide, "Oh I have to go Ben! I have to get out of here!" Amy told him excitedly, "I need to get away. John has been making me so tired! I never get to sleep anymore, I never get to go anywhere, I have to go with you!"

"Well, well.. What about John?" Ben asked her, "Who is going to watch John? You can't just leave him Amy, he needs his mother."

"My mom could watch him, and my dad, and Ashley, and Ricky! He'll be fine with them, he won't even know I'm gone, he's too young. Besides he seems to like Ricky more than me anyway," she said rolling her eyes, "And it's not like I'm leaving-leaving him.. I'll be back in a few weeks. I have to go with you Ben, I have to."

The bell rang for homeroom.

"See you later!" Amy called as she walked away smiling. Ben sighed.

*******Later that day******

"She can't go with you." Alice told Ben shaking her head.

"Why didn't you ask me to go?" Henry asked, looking hurt.

"I know she can't go," Ben said to Alice, "And Henry, you can't go. Amy can't even go, I just didn't know how to tell her no."

"Statistics show that infants can only go without their mothers for a few hours." Alice added.

"I understand that," Ben told her, "But Amy doesn't.. she thinks she can just leave John and come back a in a few weeks."

"Then I'll take John with me." Amy said as she approached Ben, Alice and Henry.

"We'll catch up with you later." Henry told Ben as Alice waved hopelessly to him.

Ben turned to Amy.

"You really want to take John with you? I thought you wanted to get away because he was making you tired." Ben asked her.

"Ben, I have to go to Italy. If my mom, or dad, or Ashley or even Ricky.. if they don't agree on watching him, I'll have to take him with me, but I have to go Ben, I have to get away."

"Where are you going?" Ricky asked Amy as he passed them in the hall.

"Ben's going to Italy." Adrian added as she walked up to the three of them.

"Italy?" Ricky asked him, "For work?"

"Oh please, he's not just going for work." Adrian told them laughing.

"Yeah, I am," Ben told them, "My uncle owns a store-"

"What do you mean he's not just going for work?" Amy cut in once again.

Amy, Ben and Ricky stared at Adrian as she laughed again.

"Do you people not pay attention in school? Bologna is known for three things.. One, they are known for having the oldest university. Two, they are known for their amazing food, and three.. they are known for oral sex."

"What!?" Amy asked Ben furiously.

"What's that matter? He can get that here." Ricky said to her.

"But he's not." Adrian said looking at Ben.

"And he won't be," Amy added hastilly. "And he's not going to Italy by himself either."

"What is that supposed to mean? You're not taking John with you, not without my permission anyway." Ricky told Amy.

"Yes, I am." she shot back.

"No, you aren't. You can't do that. You can't take my son out of the country without me saying he can go." Ricky replied angrilly.

"Fine, you can watch him while I go with Ben to Italy." Amy said.

"No, I can't watch him Amy, I have a job. And he needs you, you're his mother."

"And you're his father!" she yelled, as she stormed off to her next class.

Ben stood staring after her.

"So… can I go with you?" Ricky asked Ben.

Adrian slapped Ricky's arm.

"Oh! You are ridiculous!" she shrieked, as she too stormed away.

Ricky smirked after her, and looked at Ben.

"I'm just kidding, I don't want to go to Italy," his smirk vanished as he looked Ben seriously in the eyes,"But you will not be taking my son with you to Italy. Do you got that?" he told him before he walked away.

Ben sighed again.
