Chapter 20: False Accusations
3 months passed since Jim and Melinda broke up and since Jim confessed about his fertility matter. Jim walked into his mother's backyard with his brother Dan and his friend Jamie from work. "Bro, you know what's her name will be here with her husband" Dan said to Jim. Jim nodded "Yeah I know" he said. Both guys could hear the hurt in Jim's voice. Jim was slowly getting over Melinda. He was upset with her for not believing him and upset about how quick she dropped him and went back to her husband, He hated how she just cut off all communication with him and changed her phone number and everything. Daniel and Jamie were both trying to get Jim back in the dating game but he was taking it one step at a time. Jim was in no hurry to get back to dating. He's had alot of broken relationships and basically all the reasons the relationships never worked was because of him, according to his girlfriends. "I'm gonna go inside" Jim said. The boys nodded and walked over to the food table as Jim went inside. "Hey sweetie" Faith walked away from the stove where she was cooking something and hugged her son. "Hey mom" Jim hugged his mother. "Did you just get off work or something" Faith asked. "I got off work an hour ago and than I met up with Dan and Jamie and than we came here" Jim said. "Ok well go change your shirt. It smells of sweat" Faith said. Jim sighed "Fine" Jim walked to his old room and changed his shirt.
Melinda and Steve walked into the backyard holding hands. The couple was happy and they just recently started trying to get pregnant. "I'm going to go say Hi to Mrs. Clancy" Melinda said. Steve nodded "I'll just go get a beer and chill" Steve said. "Ok" Melinda kissed him than went into the house. Faith was at the stove cooking. She quickly turned around when she heard the door open. Faith was surprised Melinda came. "2 Visits in one year. What did I do to earn this" Faith walked over and hugged Melinda. "Oh come on you know I wouldn't miss this for anything" Melinda hugged her. "How are you sweetie" Faith asked. "I'm good. How are you" Melinda asked. Faith walked back over to the stove "Well i'm alive and I got my health" Faith chuckled. "Same here" Melinda said. "Hey mom how does this..." Jim paused as he came into the kitchen and seen Melinda. Jim stared at Melinda with a hurt look on his face. "Hi, Jim" Melinda said. Jim nodded "Hey" he said. Faith knew about their little tryst but kept quiet about it. The only Faith didn't know about was her son's fertility issues. Jim had no intentions of telling her. It was none of her business. "It looks fine" Faith said knowing what Jim was asking her when he came in. Steve walked in the house "Babe, your mom is outside and we're all getting ready to eat" Steve said. Melinda nodded "I'll be out soon" Melinda said. Steve started to walk back outside "oh Faith this is my husband Steve" Melinda said. Jim knew who the guy was and was waiting for Melinda to introduc him since they never formally met. "Nice to meet you. How you do" Faith greeted him. "Good" Steve said. "We're trying for a baby" Melinda told Faith. "Well congratulations" Faith really didn't know what to say. She was watching her son at the corner of her eye and could clearly tell he was hurt. "Jim, why don't you take this out to the table for me" Faith held a pan in her hands with food she just made. Jim nodded and took the pan from her. "So this is the Jim, my girl always used to talk about" Steve said. "I guess so" Jim said and walked outside. "Something I said" Steve asked. "No" Faith shook her head. Melinda sighed. All three of them walked outside in silence.
Later that evening, Jim was over by the snack table eating some chips when Melinda came over. She helped herself with some chips "So how's you girlfriend" she asked in a annoyed voice. "What girlfriend" Jim asked. He really wasn't paying any attention to what Melinda was saying. "Britney, the girlfriend who is pregnant with your baby" Melinda said. Jim sighed "For the last time. It's not my baby" Jim said. Melinda sighed "You got her pregnant and you need to accept the fact that it is your baby. Grow up, Jim. Stop being such a childish stubborn jackass" Melinda said loudly. She was clearly upset Jim was resenting this baby she thought was his. Jim flew the bowl with the snacks across the table "IT'S NOT MINE. I HAVE A FUCKING FERTILITY ISSUE. I CANNOT GET A WOMAN PREGNANT" Jim stormed out of the yard and left. He was really upset now because Melinda never called him any names like that before. Everyone in the yard just stared at Melinda. Faith couldn't believe what she just heard. Melinda stood there in shock from what Jim said. She never seen him act like that before. Suddenly Melinda regretted everything she just said and for everything she just done to Jim.
