During my walk I found a park that's just a couple blocks from the house. I love parks. I sat in the swing and just let all these thoughts go through my mind, the main one being; did I make the right decision? Is being happy and in love with John (the father of my kids) worth losing one of my best friends? I believe I made the right decision, but why do I feel so bad? Then I remembered that I would call and tell Amy how it went; so I called her and told her the conversation, word for word…
"So he said you guys couldn't be friends?" Amy sounded pissed
"Ya. But the thing I don't get was that he was so calm about it"
"Did he give you a reason?"
"No, I didn't have time to ask. Right after he said that he hung up" I explained
"He hung up on you?" she was appalled
"Ya, but…" I started to say before she cut me off.
"I gotta go"
"Where?" I asked
"I'm gonna go pay a visit to my bubby" I know that tone, that was more of a 'I'm gonna go kill him' tone.
"Ames, you don't…"
"I'll call ya later" then she hung up. I was about to call Jeff and warn him about Amy but decided against it cause she'll get answers.
Amy's POV
I arrive at the Hardy household and ring the doorbell. Matt answers the door.
"Hey Amy what's up?" he greets me
"Is Jeff home?" I asked as I pushed my way past him inside.
"Ya, he's in his room. What's going on?" he could tell that I was pissed.
"If you wanna know so bad, then you can stand outside his room while I chew his head off" I said and went to Jeff's room. Of course Matt followed; nobody wants to miss the chance to see their sibling get yelled at.
"Jeff, open the damn door!" I yelled, pounding on it.
"What's your problem?" he said as he pulled the door open.
"What's my problem? More like, what's your problem?" I backed him back into his room.
"What are you talking about?" he is not gonna play dumb with me.
"Stephanie! First, I don't know how YOU go from pissy to understanding in one day but if you're so understanding that she wants to be with John more, then why can't you guys still be friends?!"
"I have my reasons" he hung his head.
"I'd like to know what they are cause you didn't hear Steph on the phone just now. I have never heard her sound this depressed. She just lost one of her best friends, the same best friend that just so happened to be her first boyfriend, the same first boyfriend that just so happened to actually be content with her accidentally getting pregnant by another man. Jeff; you, me, Randy and John were her first best friends. Not just her first best friends here but her first best friends period and she just lost one of us. God knows why. And I think it's bullshit" I angrily voiced my opinion.
"You really wanna know why I can't be friends with her?" he asked
"Yes, I do"
"Cause she said she loves me and that she always will. I don't want that to be on her mind all the time when she's with John" he explained. Is he serious? Men are idiots.
"Jeff; she will always love you cause 1: you're one of her best friends and 2: you're her first love, you always hold on to some feelings for your first love" I tried to reason.
"I don't care; I want her to be happy. And without me, she will be"
"Whatever Jeff. You made your bed, now you have to lie in it" there was obviously no point in arguing with him, he made his decision.
"Is he serious?" Matt asked as I walked out of Jeff's room.
"Ya, he is. Don't even bother"
"He's gonna end up regretting that" Matt stated
"We both know that. But I gotta go. See ya Matty" I said as I opened the door to leave.
"You know you got Steph calling me that too" he said, he doesn't really like it.
"Yep" I smiled
"See ya Amy" he said as I left. Matt's like my brother too. I love teasing him. Then I called Steph and told her to try to just move on.
Steph's POV
This really sucks. But like Amy said, I have to move on. I have John to help me out with that.
It's been a couple weeks. Last week mom was finally up and about. But she runs around like a chicken with it's head cut off. She thinks that cause she didn't do anything the first week that she has to do everything now. Every time John or I try to help, she beats us to it. She's gonna end up exhausting herself. Tomorrow I have another appointment. We get to find out the sexes. Grandpa and grandma (mom's parents) are coming over to watch the twins while we go.
We walk into the doctor's office and the doctor says "So how have you been Miss Stephanie" I don't know why he can't just call me Stephanie.
"I'm good Doc, how are you?" I asked
"I'm having a pretty good day"
"That's good"
"Yes it is. So where is that other man that was with you last time, the one with the rainbow like hair" he asked as he was getting me prepped up.
"Ummm…" I started to say.
"He's not in the picture anymore" John answered for me
"I'm sorry to hear that"
"It's OK" I reassured him
"So we get to find out the sexes today?" mom was excited
Doc laughed at her. "Yes Sara we do" then he looked at me "She's a bit excited, don't ya think?"
"You don't have to live with her" I stated
"Hey" mom said
"She's just teasing" John stated
"So let's see" Doc said finding the babies "Here is baby A and it's a girl… and here is baby B and it's also a girl. Congratulations guys"
"Thanks Doc" I gave him a hug.
"We're having girls" John said and gave me a hug. You ceould tell he was really excited.
"I'm gonna have grand-daughters!" mom gave me a hug.
"Yes mom, you are" I commented, obviously
"But that means that I'm gonna be a grandma" mom said, making it sound like that made her old.
"You already look the part" John said then mom slapped him on the shoulder.
"Ooooo" Doc said as I laughed
"Here's the pictures. You guys have a great day" Doc said and left.
As soon as we walked in the house I saw dad, he wasn't supposed to be home till next week. I ran and gave him a hug "Daddy"
"Hey Stephie, how'd it go?" he asked as mom and John walked in the house.
"Great" I said as John came up beside me and put his arm around my waist.
"We're gonna have grand-daughters" mom said and gave him a kiss.
"That's great but are you two together?" dad asked pointing at John and I.
"Yes Mark, we are. Jeff, well…ya" was all John could say.
"I see, are you OK Stephie?" dad asked
"Yes dad I'm fine"
"Wait, you guys aren't staying in the same room are you?"
I decided to mess with him, kind of. "It's not like it would matter anyways. He can't do anymore harm"
"EXCUSE ME!" dad shouted
"I mean, would there really be a problem with us sleeping in the same bed?" I asked, John looked scared shitless. He didn't know what I was doing.
"YES, THERE WOULD!"
"Why?" I asked
"Cause you're 16 and he's 17!"
"But I'm already pregnant by him" I was just calm about it.
"So…Not under my roof, you guys won't be sharing a…"
"Dad, cool it. I'm just messin with ya" I patted his chest, then walked into the kitchen and got a Butterfinger from the freezer.
"Damn it Stephie, why do you have to do that?"
"I love you too dad" I smiled as I plopped myself on the couch and remembered back to that first night that mom and the babies came home. (A/N: ITALLICS ARE THE FLASHBACK)
I was lying in bed trying to fall back to sleep. I had just gotten Mikey to fall back to sleep, luckily he didn't wake Stephie. Then I felt someone get into bed with me.
"John, what are you doing?" I scooted over so he'd have more room. There's plenty of room anyways, it is a queen size bed.
"I want to know what it's like to hold you in my arms at night"
"That's sweet John, but I'm still with Jeff"
"Come on Steph, it's not like anything is gonna happen. I just wanna hold you close to me"
I thought for a minute, then I caved "I guess it couldn't hurt" I said as I laid my head on his chest and he put his arm around me.
"Good night Steph" he kissed my forehead.
"Night John" I said as I wrapped my arm around his stomach. I always slept with a big teddy bear, so I guess tonight John is my teddy bear. I felt so safe in his arms.
"Steph, yoo hoo" John waved his hand in front of me.
"What?" I snapped out of it as he sat next to me on the couch.
"You were off in la la land" he commented as I leaned up against him.
"Well, thinking about you will do that to me" I stated as he put his arm around me.
"What were you thinking about?" he asked
"That first night" I whispered, cause mom and dad were in the other room. I didn't want them to hear.
"I liked that" he said as he gave me a peck on the lips.
"So did I" I said as I did the same
