Thank you for your comments, I hope this chapter lives up to the expectations. This is my first story, but I got good comments back and decided to write a new chapter. I don't want Amy to dump Ben and be with Ricky in like one chapter so I decided to stretch it out. 3 P.S. I know it's a random title but I thought it was kind of funny and I had pancakes this morning so it fits.

Chapter 3

Pancakes

Amy's POV

Amy woke up the next morning to her sleeping baby boy lying in his bassinet. She thought it would be the perfect time to get something to eat while John was asleep. Amy walked into the kitchen still in her robe when she saw Ricky. He was flipping pancakes on the stove and whistling the song that he had sung to get John to sleep the other day. Amy was in shock, she couldn't believe that he was here after what happened yesterday.

"What are you doing here?" Amy asked as she sat down at the table. Ricky turned around and smiled.

"Oh, I didn't see you walk in, did you sleep good?"

"Yeah, I finally got some rest, he slept most of the night. But you still didn't answer me, what are you doing here?" She was starting to get annoyed.

"I told you that I wanted to be involved in John's life and if that means coming over here everyday to see him then that's what I'm gonna do. I am going to be there for our son, I love him." Ricky said. He had turned back around to flip the pancakes. Amy's eyes started to water and she quickly wiped them away. Thankfully he didn't see her cry. She didn't now why but she still got emotional even though she wasn't pregnant.

Ricky's POV

Ricky had turned back around to flip pancakes when Amy started to cry. He could tell because he heard her sniffle he didn't want her to know that he knew so he just asked her if she wanted any pancakes.

"Sure, I'd love some." She said, perking up as if she had never cried. Amy hesitantly reached out for the plate of pancakes that he was handing to her.

"So how's John?" Ricky asked Amy as she took her first bite out of her food.

"Good, but he's been whining a lot since you left last night." Amy started to blush. Though she hid her face with another bite of food. Ricky smirked.

"What can I say, he sure is his daddy's boy." Amy and Ricky both smiled as they looked into each other's eyes. John broke the silence as he started to whimper in his crib.

"That's my cue." Ricky said. Amy giggled and Ricky smirked as he got up to take care of John.

Amy's POV

How can this be happening? How is it possible that every time I get around him I fall for him all over again? Can it be that I am starting to LOVE HIM! No I can't I love Ben, I'm supposed to marry Ben. But maybe fate has a different idea about us. I really do like Ricky and he has changed. I mean he wants to be in John's life and he's around all the time, BUT THAT'S A GOOD THING RIGHT!? Just then Ricky walked in carrying our son. Yes, that's a good thing!

"Hi John, did you have a nice nap? Yes you did, yes you did." She said to John in a baby voice.

"I think he's hungry do you want to give him a bottle or breastfeed again?" Amy was done with her food now and was reaching out to take John.

"I guess I can breastfeed again, I heard that it's better for the baby anyway." Amy said as she started to slide down her robe.

"Do you want me to leave?" Ricky asked, trying to be considerate.

"No it's fine, nothing you haven't seen before." She had to hide her face now she was blushing. Ricky sat down in the chair and grabbed Amy's hand. Their eyes met and Amy winced as she tried to forget the pain. They both smiled as they listened to their son coo. When he was done Amy cradled him in her arms until he was quiet. She handed him to Ricky and he sat there staring at him in awe while Amy stared at Ricky, YES THAT'S DEFINITLY A GOOD THING!

Ricky's POV

Ricky was holding John in his arms when they got done breastfeeding him. He couldn't help but to smile as he looked down at their perfect son.

"Why don't I put him up so we can talk." Ricky said as he motioned to get up.

"Okay." Amy replied and stood up too. "I'll go into the living room and wait."

Ricky walked back to Amy's room and put John back in his crib. When he came out Amy was already sitting on the couch and he went to go sit beside her.

"So what do you want to talk about?" Amy asked.

Amy's POV

"Well the baby, and Ben. I want to be over here as much as I can but I think that Ben will get jealous." Ricky said. He tried to look sad but it wasn't working, HE LOOKED DAMN SEXY! Every time he did that or anything for that matter he captivated her. She never felt that way about Ben.

'I don't think Ben will be a problem. I'm not sure if it's the best time for Ben to be in my life, at least not now." Amy said as she bat her eyelashes. That was it, she had actually broken up with Ben she just had to tell him. Ricky grinned the widest smile that she thinks she was ever seen.

"Don't make that face." Amy said, laughing.

"What face?" Ricky asked still smiling. "Do you think I may be able to stay here tonight?" Ricky got serious asking this question.

"Well I don't know, just because I broke (still hasn't broke up yet) up with Ben doesn't mean we're going out. I only broke up (still hasn't) with him because right now isn't the time of my life were I need to be thinking about a boyfriend." Amy responded. She then became quiet and looked down at her feet.

"That's ok, I have to get ready for school now anyway." Ricky said and got up from the couch. I'll see you after school, I took off work today so I'll be here around three O'clock, if that's fine." He said as he walked to the door and turned around to look at Amy on last time before school. "I'll pick your schoolwork up if you want."

"Okay," She slide on foot behind the other and ran her hand through her hair, "I'll see you at three."
