Tears rolled down Amy's face as she felt the stare of her husband to explain to him how Gabe was really conceived, she hated thinking of that horrible night, every time she thought of it she felt like she was going to throw up.
"Ames, what's going on? What haven't you told me?" Amy couldn't look into Bob's concerned green eyes, she just couldn't. If she did she would break down in tears, and she wouldn't be able to speak.
She loved her son so much, Gabe was a special boy, he might have gotten in trouble a lot, but he was a lot better person than his father ever was. She knew his father, she went to high school with him,
she even dated him.
April 14, 1987
Sophomore Year
South High School
Bob Duncan looked at her, she was the new girl in school and everyone was talking about her. The guys called her hot, and some of the girls hated her because of it, she didn't care, most of the girls were her friends, and not everyone likes every body, it just means your human.
Amy Blankenhooper's locker was five away from his, and he enjoyed looking at her. She was really pretty, with blond hair that curled to her shoulders, and ocean blue eyes.
Bob didn't want to admit it, but he actually had a crush on her.
Ya, he had dated several girls before, but he never felt what he felt about Amy, there was just something that sparked whenever he saw her, and he like it.
He was the first one she saw, only five lockers away from hers. She felt something whenever she saw him, his innocent face and goofy smile melted her heart. His name was Bob Duncan, they never said anything between each other, not one word, but they would always sneak glances at each other when the other one wasn't looking.
The first time she smiled Bob couldn't stop staring at her, she was beautiful. They had three classes together, in all of them Amy sat close to him, always talking to her friends but when her other friends were talking she would look over at him.
She would never go out with me, she's waaaay out of my league, but today, I'm going to talk to her... Bob thought. They had their open free period together, and she usually went to the library, by herself. She usually ate at lunch with her boyfriend and her friends.
Boyfriend, Bob thought, crap, Diddlebock.
He had asked her out on a date on her second week of school, and she said yes. He apparently took her out to a nice steak restaurant and they were the cutest couple in school.
Bob Diddlebock had been one of Bob's close friends, but when he started to date Amy, Bob Duncan faded off. He liked Amy, a lot , but he thought he wouldn't have a chance with her, she was pretty and he was Bob, she was funny and he was Bob, she was Amy and he was Bob.
He could be her friend though.
The bell rang for lunch to be over. Bob spotted Amy kissing Diddlebock on the cheek and walking into the foyer to head to the library.
He walked about ten feet behind her as the hallway cleared out then he walked into the library.
He had finished all of his homework for the day, and so did Amy.
She sat down at a table in the corner of the library, out of everybody's sight because it was hidden by a wall of bookshelves. He smiled and started to walk over to the book shelf by her table.
He pretended to look for a book.
Oh my gosh, he's here, Amy thought, her heart started to beat and she looked up at him, thinking he was turned around, but instead, she looked right into his green eyes.
He was frozen, he couldn't breathe. That was the closest he had ever seen her, and she was even prettier, when she was closer. Then she smiled, and he felt his legs buckle.
Amy gasped as he was about to fall, but he caught himself, and looked at her concerned blue eyes.
Wow. He thought, that's all he could think.
"Are you okay?" Amy said, the first words ever shared between the two. She smiled at him, but not the smile to make fun of him, the smile like she loved him.
Bob smiled back, "Ya, I-I'm fine." he could barely speak, her smile was melting him away.
He walked closer to the table, "May I sit with you?" he asked, hoping for a yes.
She smiled at him, "Of course you can," he mentally thanked God.
"Your Bob Duncan, right?" she asked, closing the book that she was reading.
She wants to talk to me? Bob smiled. "Ya! And your Amy Blankenhooper, correct?" She blushed, and nodded
They sat and talked the rest of the period and the one after that.

"Do you need a ride home?" Bob asked, knowing that Bob Diddlebock had an important family get-together, so he couldn't drive his girlfriend home, she would be stuck riding that ugly yellow bus.
"Please!" she smiled as she got into his car, which was a red, 1967 Shelby Mustang, given by his grandfather.
Bob smiled as he learned that Amy's family lived only two blocks away from his home.
" Thanks for driving me," Amy said. She smiled up at her future husband, of course, she didn't know that.
"Anytime, Amy. If you ever need a ride, just call me, here's my number." Amy blushed and smiled as she gave him his, then thanked him again before disappearing into her house.
Bob did a mental cheer while walking back to his car gripping her number, he didn't want to lose it. That wouldn't be bad though, because then he'd have to see her again to get the number.

Last Day of School
9:30 p.m. Mountain Time
Bob sat in the living room of his house watching TV when he heard a knock on the door. He opened it to see a crying Amy on the other side.
Ever since that day in the library they became close friends.
"Amy! What happened?" Bob pulled her into the house and sat her down on the couch.
"Amy? Are you okay?" Bob looked at her face that had stained mascara running down her cheeks, she had a nice dress on and her hair was fixed up with small curls falling to the side of her face. Even though her makeup was messed up, she was still beautiful.
The school Dance! Bob thought he didn't go because his parents were away and he had to watch his younger sister, who was already asleep. He didn't care though, because the only girl he wanted to go with was Amy, but she was going with stupid Diddlebock.
Amy couldn't reply, the only thing she could do was sit there, then she did what she thought she could never do, she looked up at him, and kissed his soft lips. It lasted for five seconds and then she pulled back smiling.
Bob couldn't breathe. He thought this was all a dream, literately.
Amy started crying again, but this time she could speak.
"I'm so sorry, I just kissed you and you probably don't even like me, because I like you a lot ever since I saw you on my first day of school and I just don't know what to do and-" Bob interrupted her with another kiss. After he pulled back, Amy had a shocked look on her face.
"Amy, I've loved you since the day I laid my eyes on you!" Amy smiled and wiped away her tears.
Then she explained to Bob how she saw Diddlebock with another girl in the bathroom, and how she was suppose to go to a slumber party tonight and how her parents were gone and she didn't know what to do so she came to Bob's house.
That was the best day of Bob's life, because that was the day that Amy Blankenhooper became his girlfriend.
August 15, 1987
Junior Year
First Day Of School
Amy got out of the red mustang, she had been dating Bob for almost three months, she felt like the day she was crying on Bob's doorstep was years ago, she had done so much with him, and he was a way better boyfriend than Bob Diddlebock.
"Amy? I've been calling you all summer! I went to your house and you were never there, and you ditched me at the prom!" Bob Diddlebock approached her after she got out of the car, and Bob had stood by her side."
"What are you doing with him?"
"Bob? I went to the prom to see you making out with Kim Brooks in the bathroom! I've been ignoring you all summer! And oh, ya, I broke up with you in May, Bob Duncan is my boyfriend now!" Amy mimicked the same tone that Bob gave to her, then she glared at him, which obviously made him nervous.
"We're done!" Then she pulled her boyfriend along, and walked into the front doors of South High. She stopped at her locker and looked up at Bob. "Your all mine, you got that?" she smiled at him and kissed him, grabbed her books and walked to class.
"Wow, holy crap!" Bob smiled as he walked to class.
Ever since that day, Bob Diddlebock never wanted to let Amy go. She was his, and nobody elses.
Well, that's what he thought.
After that day Bob Diddlebock had followed Amy everywhere. Smothering her, the boy with thick dark hair wouldn't leave her alone.
Then one day, he just lost control.
Friday, Febuary 20, 1998
St. Paul Medical Center
9:33 p.m. Mountain Time
The air was only 35 degrees. And Amy was let out early because the emergency room was next to empy. Her car was in the southeast parking lot and she was trying to get home as fast as possible. She wanted to be in her warm home snuggled up with her husband on the couch and watch a movie.
That was not going to happen.
Amy was only about 20 feet away from her car when she heard his voice.
"Hey Amy," Bob Diddlebock's voice was low. He was only wearing a black jacket and dark jeans. His black hair was combed up into a cool looking hairdo.
"Bob, what do you want? It's been over ten years, please just let it go!" He walked closer to her and she started to get nervous.
"Amy Blankenhooper, I've always loved you no matter what," Amy got shivers when he called her by her maiden name.
"I'm not Amy Blankenhooper, I'm Amy Duncan. Bob is my husband and we have two kids, now please, just leave, okay? I don't like you anymore." She was very polite about it. She never said anything mean to Bob Diddlebock, she didn't want him out of her life, she just was tired of him stalking her, and it started to get bad.
" Your Amy Diddlebock, not Duncan," he walked right up to her, "Kiss me, Amy." Amy looked at him, wide eyed.
"No! I love Bob Duncan! I would never do anything to hurt him! Please leave me alone!" She started to walk fast to her car. Bob, had had enough.
He grabbed her by the wrist, spun her around and held her against him. He covered her mouth with his hands, picked up the light woman, who was kicking and screaming and threw her into the truck.

Amy came home that night bawling, Bob threatened that if she told anyone, he would kill her husband and kids, then the only thing left she would have, would be the little baby she would cradle in her arms in nine months.
She didn't know she was pregnant until four weeks later,
And Bob Diddlebock was the father.
Bob Duncan stared in disbelief at his sobbing wife.
How could I ever think Amy cheated on me?
"Oh, Ames," he grabbed her and cradled her until she cried herself to sleep.
He mentally cursed himself for thinking his wife would ever hurt him, she was the one who was hurt. She had five kids,
But Bob Duncan only had four.
Tears streamed down Gabe's face as he heard the horrible thing his father did to his mother. Not Bob Duncan, but Bob Diddlebock.
His back slid down the wall outside his parents room. He now understood the pain his mother went through every day when she looked him in the face, she was seeing a monster who gave her nightmares.
He wanted to go and hug his mother for being so strong, for being the good one, after all these years, who was thought to be the bad one.
No, Gabe Duncan was not mad at his mother, he was thankful for her.

Gabe walked into the master bedroom, early the next morning after his father had left for work, school still didn't start for another two hours.
He looked down at his mother that had been so strong for him.
He knelt down beside her and hugged the most important woman in his life.
WOWZA! How was that? Now you know what happened to Amy, and how Gabe reacts. Pretty mature of him! If you haven't noticed, Gabe matured A LOT in this story, from this chapter on, this will get even more intense as Gabe sees his father, and gets a little of what we call, revenge! Now you can see that Amy hadn't cheated on Bob at all, and has been broken for almost seventeen years! Please Review! You have know idea how much better they make me feel!
