Two months had passed. It was summer break. Sam and Randy had been back home in New York for a week. They hated it. They weren't used to being away from each other. Sam was up in her room. Her cell phone rang.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi baby." Randy said.
"Hi."
"This sucks doesn't it?"
"Yeah."
"I never thought I'd say this but I wanna go back to school."
"Aw." "Miss living with me that much?"
"Yes and it's only been a week."
"I miss living with you to."
"I miss what we do in the middle of the night sometimes."
"Yeah me to but at least I'll get more sleep."
"You know I just can't help myself."
"I know." "It is fun when we do."
"That's not all I miss." "I miss cuddling with you and making you dinner and you being there when I get home."
"Just a couple more years and we'll have that every day for the rest of our lives."
"I can't wait."
"Me either."
"I can't wait until we have our first baby." "You're gonna be a great mom."
"I hope so."
"You will." "We're still meeting John and Riley for lunch tomorrow right?"
"Yeah." "I'm gonna go to bed."
"Ok." "See you tomorrow." "I love you future Mrs. Orton."
"I love you to." "Bye."
"Bye."
Later that night in Chicago Ally and Phil were in bed asleep. Ally woke up.
"Phil." "Phil wake up." Ally said.
"What?" He said tiredly.
"It's time." "The baby's coming." He opened his eyes.
"The baby's coming?" "Now?"
"Yes." Phil jumped up.
"We have to go to the hospital."
They went to the hospital. Four hours later Ally gave birth to a baby boy. Phil was holding him. He looked at Ally.
"You did such a good job Ally." "He's perfect."
"Thanks." "Bring him here please." Phil looked down at the baby.
"Wanna go to mommy Max?" "Let's go to mommy." He handed him to her.
"You look just like your daddy Max."
"You think?" "I think he looks more like his mommy."
"Really?'
"Yep." "Thank you for giving me our son."
"I love you."
"I love you to." They kissed.
The next morning back in New York John and Riley were meeting Sam and Randy for lunch at the "Dairy Shack" John was driving.
"I hope you're hungry." John said.
"I'm starving."
"I used to work where we're going in high school." "The food's pretty good." He glanced over at her. She looked nervous. "What's a matter?"
"I'm just a little nervous to meet your friends that's all."
"Everything's gonna be fine."
"I know." "It's just all of you seem so close."
"Don't worry." "They're all gonna love you."
"Ok."
They pulled into the parking lot. When they went inside Sam and Randy were waiting for them.
"Hi guys." John said as he and Riley walked up to the table and sat down.
"Hi John." Sam said.
"Hi Sammy."
"What's up man?" Randy said.
"Not much." "Guys this is Riley." "Riley this is Randy and Samantha."
"Hi it's nice to meet you both." Riley said.
"It's nice to meet you." Sam said. "You can call me Sam."
"So Sam John tells me you and Randy are engaged."
"Yes we are."
"Congratulations."
"Thank you." "Speaking of good news." "Did Phil call you?" She asked looking at John.
"No." John said. "Why?"
"Ally had the baby last night."
"She did?"
"Yep."
"Is everything good?
"Yeah everything's fine."
"What did they name him?"
"Max."
"Good that's not one of my names."
"What?" Riley asked.
"I already have names picked out for my kids."
"Really?" "What are they?"
"Jack for a boy." "Isabelle for a girl." "Sammy's allowed to use that one if she wants though." "I know she likes it to."
"I like Jack but I don't know about Isabelle."
"Why not?"
"It sounds like what you name a dog."
"Fuck you it does not." "My daughter is beautiful." Sam thought.
"What would you pick for a girl?" John asked.
"Sophie." Riley said.
"Sammy are you ok?"
"I'm fine. Sam said.
"Tomorrow why don't the four of us get together at my house." "I'll cook out on the grill." "We can swim."
"I'm in." Randy said.
"Me to." Sam said.
Later that day Sam was up in her room. She heard a knock on the door and looked up.
"Hey AJ." Sam said.
"Hi." They hugged.
"How's Todd?"
"Good."
"Is his brother still with Trish?"
"Yeah." "She's staying with him at his apartment in Pennsylvania this summer." "Have you met John's girlfriend yet?"
"I don't like her."
"Why?"
"Well without knowing it she insulted Isabelle and me." "We were all talking about Phil's baby and the topic of names came up." "John said he liked Jack for a boy and Isabelle for a girl." "Riley said she liked the name Jack but not Isabelle." "She said Isabelle sounds like something you name a dog."
"No."
"Yeah."
"I bet you wanted to smack her."
"I almost did."
The next day Sam went over to John's. He was already in the pool.
"Hi Sammy." He said.
"Hi John."
"Where's Randy?"
"He should be here in about twenty minutes." "Where's Riley?"
"She went back to the hotel to take a nap." "She'll be here soon."
Sam got in the pool and swam over to John.
"This water feels great." Sam said. "It's hot out today."
"Yeah it is." He smiled.
"What?"
"Well I was just thinking we haven't been this naked together since…He smirked.
"John stop." She said smiling. "We're not naked."
"We're pretty close to it." She splashed him. "Hey!" He splashed her back. They went under the water. When Sam came back up she didn't see John.
"John." "John." Suddenly she was picked up from underneath. John was holding her like a bride.
"Got ya Sammy."
"You did."
"You look beautiful today by the way."
"Why are you always so sweet to me?"
"You know the answer to that." They heard a car pull in the driveway. John let Sam go. A few seconds later Riley came in the backyard. "Hi baby."
"Hi." Riley said.
The next morning John was in his room. Riley walked in.
"Hi." John said.
"Hi." "I'm going home John."
"Why?"
"For as long as we've been together I've noticed sometimes you get a far away look in your eyes, like you're thinking of someone else." "I didn't know who until a few days ago."
"Riley what are you talking about?"
"I know you love me but not like you love Sam." John got a surprised look on his face. "Randy has no idea does he?"
"No."
"I'm not mad." "If you love her as much as I think you do you can't let her get married."
"I'm sorry Riley."
"Don't worry about me." "I'll be alright." "Bye."
"Bye." Riley left.
