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. Someone said that I don't need the 'POV' so I will be taking them out in the chapters from now on. If anyone else has any suggestions, I will take them into consideration.

The Break Up

When Ricky left Amy got out her phone to call Ben before school started. It rang three times before he answered, "I love you." Ben said. Why does he always do that? Amy thought.

"Hey, Ben I wanted to talk to you about something." Amy was beginning to stutter because she was so nervous. "Since John was born he made me realize that I-I ne-ee-ed to focus on him for a while."

"What I'm sa-aa-ying is that I think we need to ta-aa-ke a break from each other." Amy said quietly waiting for him to respond. But all she heard was the phone line go dead. She couldn't believe it, he had hung up on her. How dare he, she thought. She wasn't even sad about breaking up with the person who had been with her through her pregnancy, she was furious! Amy paced back and fourth in her room screaming at everything and everyone. "THAT JACK-ASS! WHAT THE FUCK DOES HE THINK HE IS DOING!" Anne walked in then rocking John in her arms. "What's going on in here?" She asked Amy with a worried expression on her face.

"BEN! He hung up on me, how can he do that?" Amy had cracked, she was laying on her bed with fountains of tears pouring down her face.

"Oh honey, I know it's hard. But you did the right thing Amy. Now you can focus on your son." Anne handed John to Amy knowing that it would cheer her up. Amy reached out for her son and lit her face up with a smile because she didn't want John to see his mom cry.

"Hey John, mommy's here. Are you tired, yes you are, yes you are." She said in a baby voice.

"I have to go to work, are you gonna be okay here by yourself?" Anne asked as she got up off Amy's bed.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. He's tired right now and if I need anything I can call Ricky." Amy said still looking at her son. She smiled and looked up at her mom. "You can go."

"Okay, but I'll be home around five." Anne uneasily said as she walked out the door unsure if she wanted to go.

Amy laid John down in his bassinet so he could sleep and Amy leaned back on her pillows trying to forget about what Ben had done to her on the phone. Then she started to think about Ricky, and how he treated her and their son. He had been so sweet and kind after he changed. She knew it was for the better but Amy could only hope that he would stay like that with her and John. She fell asleep with a grin on her face and dreamt of band camp.

Ricky pulled up to Amy's house at three O'clock as if he promised and walked up to the door. He knocked lightly three times. She most have been asleep, he thought because it took her a few minutes to answer the door. Amy came to the door and opened in in a pair of pajama pants and an oversized t-shirt. It didn't matter though he still thought she looked beautiful. She had bags under her eyes and her hair was messed up. Yeah she was asleep.

"Hey," she said tiredly as she ran her hand threw her hair, "come in John's been asleep for a few hours so he'll wake up soon." He walked in with a smirk on his face and they walked back to her room. He sat down on her bed. She picked up John and handed him to Ricky then she sat next to him on the bed.

"Hi John, I love you." Ricky said. Every time he said that to his son and looked into his big brown eyes she thought he was going to cry. Ricky got so emotional around his son.

"You really do love him."

"Yeah, of course I do." Ricky said then looked up to Amy, their eyes met and he said, "I love you too." Amy had not been prepared for this at all, he got her off guard. She didn't know what to say and she wasn't sure if he expected an answer. "But you're with Ben." Ricky said sounding disappointed.

"Actually I'm not, I broke up with him this morning. I told you it's not the best time in my life for a boyfriend." Amy said, now looking back at John. Ricky saw that she was embarrassed and he handed John back to her.

"I guess you can focus all your attention to our son." Ricky was smirking now and she wasn't sure what he was trying to do but she didn't really care she was upset from this morning and she was tired. They both leaned back against her headboard and again there eyes met.

"Well not all my attention, I still have to think about his father. You see I'm not sure what I feel when I get around him but it makes the whole world stop." Ricky now had sat up and was smiling. Amy bit her lip as she said this, nervous about what he would do.

"And may I ask who is the father?" Ricky devilishly asked with a grin.

"Oh, no one you know." She said and then they both leaned in for a kiss. He bit her bottom lip and she pulled away.

"I don't think I can do this." She said.

"Why not?" Then he kissed her again. He pushed his lips onto hers and she pushed back. Just then they heard the door creak open. They pulled apart and Ben was standing there with roses and balloons in his hands.

"How could you?" He asked.

"We broke up this morning." She was practically yelling at him. He hadn't even walked away like he usually does.

"So you go back to HIM!" Ben hissed at her. Amy had tears falling down her cheeks now, not because she was sad just upset. John had woke up because of all the commotion and Ricky walked over to his crib and picked him up.

"HE'S THE FATHER OF MY SON, AND I LOVE HIM!" Amy screamed at him.

"What?" Ben stated.

"You do?" Ricky asked. He had a surprised smile on his face as if he was fighting off his old ways to actually settle with one girl. Then Ben turned around and left. Amy had only hoped he would have left sooner. Amy turned to Ricky who was standing up holding their son.

"Yes, I do. I have realized that when you had been coming over here all the time and we would talk. I never once got annoyed with you or didn't want to hear what you had to say." Amy was in shock herself, she was looking down at the floor and didn't say anything after that, neither of them did. Ricky rocked John back and fourth then came to sit down next to Amy on the bed.

"I'm glad you feel that way about me." He said and gave Amy a light kiss on the lips.

"Me too!" She said, and then hugged him.
