Once Adrian had blurted the entire story out to her parents, they did the only thing they could think to do to protect- and help- their only child. They had her committed, where she was diagnosed with nymphomania, psychotic tendencies, and narcissistic dissociation disorder. They were told it would take at least two years to get her out, but that they could at least visit her once a week.

Amy and Ricky's wedding wasn't the huge event to behold Amy had originally dreamed of, for she had grown enough to realize that Ricky didn't want that, and what he wanted truly matteredto her. It was a small affair, with family and friends, where she got to wear her mother's gown and her father walked her down the aisle.

And, when it was over, she, Ricky and John went back to their small apartment over the butcher shoppe, to celebrate quietly together, as a family. Amy took Ashley's advice, and decided to test for her G.E.D., so that she could go ahead and go to college with Ricky, part time and some online, so John didn't have to go to daycare quite as often. She was happy- truly happy- and she lay next to her husband in perfect contentment.

"Ricky..." she said suddenly, looking up at him.

"Hmmm?" he asked, brushing back her hair with gentle fingers.

"I have something to tell you..."

"Oh?"

"Yeah... John's gonna be a big brother..." she said in a timid voice. "I found out this morning... but the wedding... I didn't want to say anything..."

Ricky looked frightened and shocked, and Amy trembled. "Oh, Ricky... I'm sorry... I don't know how- well, okay I know how, but I was on the pill, I swear!"

Ricky took a deep breath. "You having John... was the defining and best moment of my life, even if I didn't know it, Ames. And, if this child is here, clearly it's meant to be."

"Oh, Ricky..." Amy said, kissing him gently.

Ricky smiled, putting a hand on her belly. "But, I get to name this one."

"No way, I'm carrying it- and labor sucks."

"You named the first one." he countered.

"Well, technically, Ashley named him." she corrected. "John Jacob Jurgens."

"Jurgens-Underwood." Ricky corrected, making Amy smile.

"I can't believe you went and hyphenated your name, too." she smile. "That was so cool, and so sexy..."

"We're a family." he said simply. "And that's forever..."

-The End-
