Here is the long-awaited Chapter 8! So sorry everyone, I had to get school things finished and believe me I had a ton of papers and things due before Easter break. But finally I got all of that finished and I was able to change some things around for this Chapter.. I liked writing this one, it was fun; RAMY fans.. you'll see why ;) Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think with all of your awesome reviews! :)

It was morning; David was dropping Anne off in the driveway. She got out of the car fast; she was worried about Amy and Aidan. Amy hadn't answered any of her calls, and for the first time she stayed home with Aidan alone all night. Although she was doing a great job at being a teen mother, this still made Anne nervous. In fact, Anne hadn't even intended on staying out all night, but after a few drinks with David at a bar, she ended up staying. As she was waving goodbye from the sidewalk, a black car pulled up in the driveway beside David's. Ben got out. Alarmed, Anne turned and hurriedly tried to get to the door, but before she knew it Ben was right beside her.

"Hi…." He said looking at her awkwardly.

He could obviously tell she was just getting in from last night.

"Oh, Hi Ben.." Anne said trying to pat down her hair. "What brings you here so early?"

"Just wanted to see my Amy," Ben told her, "I missed her, she wouldn't answer my calls so I came to see if everything was alright."

Together they walked into the house, neither of them taking notice to Ricky's car parked across the street. Once inside, Anne tried to act as cool as possible; she was embarrassed. Ben gazed around the room; the silence made it even more awkward then it already was.

"I'm going to go check on Amy and Aidan." Anne told him, breaking the silence.

Ben looked at her.

"Oh, ok.. well tell her I'm here, and that I'd really like to see her."

Anne looked at him for a moment, and then sighed.

"Oh go on Ben, go wake her up."

Ben jumped at his chance and followed Anne up the stairs. As they reached Aidan's nursery, Anne walked in and peered over the crib. Aidan was snoozing away. She smiled.

"Looks like there wasn't any trouble Ben." She said turning around.

But Ben wasn't there. She walked out to the hallway and rounded a corner; he was standing in Amy's doorway, frozen to the spot. As Anne walked up behind him to see what he was looking at, her eyes widened in shock; Amy and Ricky were asleep in Amy's bed.

"AMY!" Anne shouted, shoving herself past a still-frozen Ben.

Amy sleepily picked her head off of Ricky's chest and blinked at them.

"Mhm?" she mumbled.

Anne threw her arms out in front of her. Amy looked around to see what she was motioning to when her eyes laid upon the problem; Ricky was sleeping.. with her.. in her bed. She looked up at Anne and then to Ben.

"EXPLAIN!" Anne said to her.

Ricky began stirring from his sleep from all of the commotion. He sat up in Amy's bed and rubbed his eyes before noticing Anne and Ben both standing there. Amy and Ricky looked at each other before both of them busted out in an explanation.

"We were watching Aidan's birth-day movie from the hospital," Amy told them.

"Nothing happened," Ricky insisted.

"We just fell asleep," Amy added.

"Amy! I don't remember telling you that you could have a sleepover!" Anne yelled.

"Oh? And I don't remember you telling me that you would be out all night long!" Amy shot right back, "You know if Ricky hadn't have come over to help me put Aidan to sleep who knows how long it would have taken!"

Anne threw her fingers in her messed-up hair.

"Okay, you got me," she said, "I'm sorry Amy, I am. I didn't realize I would be out all night. I tried calling you, you wouldn't answer." She looked at Ricky, "I'm glad you came over to help, but Amy," she said turning to Amy again, "Please, please tell me the truth if something happened. The two of you and I cannot afford to raise another child anytime soon."

Ricky switched his gaze onto Amy's comforter, while Amy snapped back at her mother.

"MOM! Nothing happened!" She told her again, slamming her fists down. "Besides you should probably think about affording to raise another child next time you want to spend the night with David!"

Anne's cheeks flushed to a pink color as she changed the subject, "Well I'm going to get a quick shower and I'll make breakfast. Ben, Ricky, you're welcome to join us." She said leaving Amy's room.

Once she left, Ricky got out of Amy's bed.

"I'm gonna go.. I'll talk to you later." He told her as she nodded at him.

Amy sat in her bed and stared at Ben. Ben stared back, still unable to speak.

"Ben.." Amy began.

"Don't even say anything," Ben said as he turned to leave after Ricky.

"Ben!" Amy said jumping up and grabbing his arm as he was walking down the hallway, "Nothing happened, I swear."

Ben swung back around to face Amy, he had a look on his face that Amy had never seen before; he was angry, very angry.

"I don't believe this," he told her, "You slept with Ricky last night."

"I didn't sleep.. well we did sleep.. but that's all it was!" Amy shouted at him. She was getting angry herself, no one believed her.

"You've never even slept with me in the same bed, let alone had sex with me, and I find you sleeping with the guy you have a baby with?" Ben threw his hands into the air and laughed disgustedly before muttering, "Ridiculous."

"Ridiculous? You're the one being ridiculous Ben! I'm sorry that I called the father of my son to come over and help me take care of him with me! I'm sorry that Ricky and I were watching a videotape from the day he was born, and I'm sorry that we happened to fall asleep in my bed while we were watching it!" She yelled.


Ben stared at Amy and shook his head, "I bet." He told her, giving her that disgusted laugh once more.

Amy looked at him furiously. "You know what, Ben? You're right. I'm not sorry!" she said half out of breath, "I'm not sorry I invited Ricky over here! I have no reason to be! You know what I'm not even sorry that I had sex with Ricky in the first place! He gave me that little boy in there who I wouldn't trade for the world!" she said pointing to Aidan's nursery.

Ben stared at her, "Oh really? You don't regret having a baby at fifteen anymore? Yeah, I know that you love Aidan Amy, but are you sure you don't regret what happened because it brought you closer to Ricky?"

"I know what this is.. you're jealous," Amy told him.

"Jealous?" Ben asked, "Yeah Amy, I am kind of jealous. I'm jealous that you don't want to spend time with me, your boyfriend, anymore because instead of spending time with me you're spending time with Ricky and your son, like a family, a family I'm not a part of. I thought I knew what I was dealing with; I thought we could all work at it together," He shook his head, "Who am I kidding Amy, we can't do this, it's impossible." Amy didn't say anything, so Ben continued, "How can Ricky and I work together when we're after the same thing? No, it's not going to work Amy, I told you before I have no intentions of sharing you, and that's exactly what I'm doing, it has to stop. I know we agreed to let Ricky be a part of Aidan's life, but I don't recall us agreeing on letting Ricky be a part of your life too."

Amy had heard enough.

"Ben, Ricky is going to be a part of my life whether you like it or not; nothing is going to change that! We have a child, a son together, that little baby in there is as much as he is Ricky's as he is mine. I can't help that, you can't help that, and Ricky can't help that. It is what it is!" She paused before continuing, "And what do you mean what we agreed to do? No Ben, it's what I agreed to do. I agreed to let Ricky be a part of Aidan's life, and I thought you understood all of this?"

"Maybe you should just let Ricky know that you can't be anything more than friends," Ben told her, "It will solve all of our problems," he paused then added, "because he is our problem."

Tears welled up in Amy's eyes. Before she could catch herself, her words escaped her, "Maybe….. I don't want to."

Taken-back, Ben questioned her, "What?"

"Maybe.. I don't want to tell him we can't be more than friends, maybe he isn't the problem."

Ben stood and stared at Amy for a minute, neither of them saying a word to each other as tears ran down Amy's cheeks. Finally, he nodded, turned and walked down the hall toward the stairs. As she heard the front door shut, she cried. Amy was now alone. Ben had been there for her better than any friend she had during her whole pregnancy, and yet she let him go. She didn't even know why she let him go; the words just came out without her even thinking. She stood sobbing in her hallway when Aidan's nursery door swung open. Ricky stood there in the door way. He never left. He grabbed on to Amy and pulled her into a hug as she cried on to his chest. Amy found the reason why she let Ben go, he was standing here with her right now; she wasn't alone after all.
