A/N again this is short, I wanted to update so here's all 700ish words of it lol. Please review!

CHAPTER 7

The third day of her relaxing trip came and so did the long trip home. Andrea was looking forward to getting home but not to facing mark when he came for the rent. He was going to be pissed that she had up and left just like that.

"Don't worry Andy, I'll take your rent to him and that will give you an extra week." Bella said seeing the concerned look on Andy's face

"Thanks, he's gonna be a bear" Andy replied.

-------

Bella pulled up with an envelope in hand, she knocked on mark's door and waited. It was late at night but She was going to have a good talk with mark and tell him exactly what she thought of his words and actions.

"What?" Mark snapped as he opened the door

"Nice Mark what if I was Andy?" Bella asked rolling her eyes and pushing past him.

"What do you want Bella?" Mark snapped

"Giving you Andy's rent for the week…" she began handing him the money "And to tell you that you're an ASS!" She yelled the last word lacing it with venom

"Watch it!" Mark snapped

"You kiss her and run because you don't know what you're feeling! She is confused and hurt, she thinks perhaps your playing her or that the baby is the problem…don't start shit you don't intend to continue!" She spat stalking out the door and driving off.

Mark thought about her words and decided that tomorrow he would go and see Andy…if he had the guts. He would see how he felt in the morning.

He woke with a guilty feeling; sleep had eluded him for most of the night. Bella's words were echoing through his mind…had he been an ASS like she said, he'd head over and talk it out with her or perhaps he would wait…if she was anything like Bella at the moment then he didn't want to make it worse, bad for the baby was his lame excuse.

-------

Andy put the last of her small amount of belongings in the boxes and watched as Bella loaded them into the car, a small 2 room apartment had become available and she had sought it out and paid the bond and 1 weeks rent and was now shifting houses. She had written Mark a short letter explaining and left it in his letter box before they shifted all her things into town and into her apartment.

3 days went by and Andy was ordered to take less shifts, the shop was able to handle business without her constantly working, but it would still allow her some form of income. Bella would check in on her and help with things that Andy found hard. Soon she would be responsible for another life.

-------

Mark re read the letter in his hand. He had found it 3 months ago and had read it many times still not believing she was gone and the reason for why she left.

Dear Mark,

I appreciate everything you have done for me, thank you so much.

I have found an apartment that is closer to work and better for me and my baby.

I'm sorry to have been a burden to you and that I wasn't able to say good bye in person.

I'll find a way to repay you for everything you've done.

Thank you again, have a good life. Goodbye.

Xo Andy

Mark scowled, he had missed her being around, teasing him with her light touch or her hugs, it had taken him those two months to come to terms with the fact he felt more than strong friendship for the baby bearing woman who crashed into his life all those months ago. She would have had the baby already and he had missed it…he found himself wanting to see the little one. He had searched for Andy all around town, he spent a good amount of the 3rd month trying to pry the answers from her work mates and others but to no avail, and Bella was with Andy on leave so she had help. Grabbing his keys he headed for town, he had never believed the reasons in her letter and now he was going to get answers if he had to beat it out of someone.

"I'll find you Darlin' and I'll get answers and then tan your hide for lying and depriving me of what I want.
