Chapter 2

The next morning, Katie started to wake up first and her head was killing her. She tried to sit up, but something was holding her down. She looked over her shoulder and saw John sleeping soundly next to her. It was right then that Katie remembered what happened the night before.

In a way, Katie felt guilty, but then again it wouldn't have happened if John didn't want it to happen as well. Katie couldn't help but smile as she watched John sleeping. John started to wake up and pulled Katie closer to him. He was fully aware that she was not Liz and he didn't care, as he never felt like the way he did now, with Liz.

"John, I have to get up." Katie stated.
"No, stay in bed with me." John responded.
"I would love nothing more than to do that, but I really have to get up. I have to go to work this afternoon." Katie pleaded with him.
"Aww." John responded as he pouted.
"You really want me to spend the whole day in bed with you?" Katie asked.
"Not all day, just all morning." John answered.
"Let me see what I can do." Katie responded as she picked up her phone and called her boss.

Katie managed to take a paid day off of work to spend the day with John. John was thrilled when Katie climbed back into bed with him. John wrapped his arms around her and started kissing her neck, which lead him to playing and sucking on her breasts. Katie moaned as John flicked his tongue over her nipples.

John didn't waste any time in entering Katie again. As they made love that morning, Katie moaned John's name over and over again. After reaching their climaxes, John and Katie took showers and got dressed. Katie always had a second set of clothes in her bag and changed into a pair of jeans and a fitted t-shirt. John picked up his red Hustle, Loyalty and Respect shirt that he wore the night before and tossed it at her. Katie just smiled as she put it in her bag.

John and Katie spent the rest of the day together sight seeing and enjoying each others company. As the day was coming to an end, Katie knew that her and John needed to go their separate ways. Katie hated to have to drive home alone and possibly never see John like this again.

"Katie, are you ok?" John asked.
"I wish I didn't have to go home tonight." Katie answered.

"It'll be ok. We have Facebook and we have each others cell phone numbers. We'll still be in contact. And you know that you can call me or Randy anytime you need us." John responded.

"I know. It's just that the last 24 hours have been so amazing and I know that what we have together stays between us and to be honest, I don't want to loose what we have." Katie told him.
"I know, baby. But I have to be careful with still being married to Liz. Katie, I know this might sound odd and even a little wrong, but I really do love you and care about you." John responded.
"I love you and care about you too." Katie stated as John pulled her in for a hug.

John walked Katie to her car and they had one final kiss good-bye. Katie knew that one day John would be hers for good. But it was only a matter of time and him divorcing his wife. Katie pulled out John's t-shirt and put it on before heading to bed. Katie was woken up at 3am with a text message from John.

Hey baby. I miss you. Thank you for a wonderful time in Seattle. JC

Hey. You're up early. You're welcome and thank you. KM

I just landed in Tampa. Its 6 am here. I cant chat long, I know that Liz is here to pick me up. I just wanted you to know that you can text me 24/7. JC

Ok. I don't have to be up for another 4 hours. So I am going to try and get some more sleep. Love u. KM

Sounds like a plan. Love u too. JC

As the weeks passed, Katie and John sent texts back and forth as much as possible. Katie also kept in touch with Randy and Samantha through Facebook and text messages. Katie was thrilled when John could sneak away from his wife or other people and call her in the middle of the day at work. John also sent her flowers every Friday at work.

It had been just over 2 months since Katie saw John and she missed him a lot. The phone calls, texts and flowers were all great, but she missed being in his arms. It was the beginning of August and Katie had just finished organizing a huge company function for the end of summer, when she started to feel sick. Katie had been working long stressful hours getting this even planned that she figured that the stress was finally catching up to her.

After the third day of not feeling good, Katie finally made an appointment to see her doctor. Katie just wanted to feel better. John was out of the country at the moment and wouldn't be back until Friday night. It was hard not being able to talk to him or text him, but since she had been so busy, she hardly had time to notice the time fly by.

"Hi Katie. What brings you in today?" Dr. Andrews asked.
"I think all the stress from work has caused me to get sick in the middle of summer." Katie answered.
"Ok. How long have you been feeling sick?" Dr. Andrews asked.

"Three days now. And it starts in the morning as soon as I wake up until around lunch time. Then in that afternoon I am just exhausted." Katie answered.
"Ok. What is the first day of your last period?" Dr. Andrews asked as Katie pulled out her iphone and looked at her calender.
"May 8th. I must have really been stressed not to even notice that I skipped two periods." Katie answered.

"Ok. I want to run some blood panels and also prescribe you some anti-nausea pills that are low dosage. I should have the results this afternoon." Dr. Andrews responded.

Katie headed down to the lab and had her blood drawn. After leaving the doctor's office, Katie sent a text to Randy to see how things were going to find out exactly when John was arriving back in the US. Randy told her that his flight was due in at 11am in Houston and that he and Samantha were flying in the day before.

Katie headed to work and sat at her desk. There really wasn't much for her to do, but she needed to keep herself busy until the doctor called her back. Katie looked at her desk calender and counted back to when her missed periods should have started. The more she looked at things the more she realized that maybe it wasn't the stress that was causing her to miss her periods.

"Crap! This is not good." Katie stated out loud.
"Katie, what's wrong?" her co-worker Regina asked.
"Just looking at my calender for the last 3 months and I think something happened that shouldn't have happened." Katie answered.
"What happened?" Regina asked.

"Nothing that I don't regret, its just something that's going to make things a lot more complicated for the other person involved." Katie answered. "I can't really go into any details."
"Ok. When you can, I'm here for you." Regina responded.

It wasn't long after, that Katie's phone rang. It was the doctor's office calling. Katie headed into the sound proof room and answered her phone. Katie was nervous and anxious at the same time.

"Hello." Katie answered her phone.

"This is Dr. Andrews. I have your lab results." she stated.
"Is everything ok?" Katie asked.
"Everything came back normal, so I had the lab run a pregnancy test just to be safe. Katie, you're 10 weeks pregnant." Dr. Andrews answered.
"Pregnant. Ok. When is my due date?" Katie asked.

"February 22nd 2012. I would like to see you again in 2 weeks and we can do an ultrasound to make sure our calculations are correct." Dr. Andrews answered.
"Ok. Two weeks from today would work perfectly." Katie responded.
"Ok. I'll see you then at 9am." Dr. Andrews stated.

Katie hung up her phone and just sat there taking in the news that she was pregnant. She knew it was John's baby and now she just had to tell him that she was pregnant.
