Chapter 18

Under Her Roof

As soon as Bob left he got up and wiped the blood from his face, still having the feeling of adrenalin. Then he remembered about Amy and his son. He raced out the door trying to think of where they might go. He kept running down the street hoping that Bob wasn't following him. Quickly thinking off the top of his head he instinctively ran to Amy's moms' house. He was thankful that he had taken baseball before so that he didn't get tired or out of breath, because Ricky didn't want to leave Amy or his son alone.

Ricky bust threw the door at Mrs. Jerguen's home. There he saw Amy, with tears streaming down her face over the trails of previous ones. John was flailing around in her arms, and Anne was trying to comfort her the best she could. It was when Amy saw him that he realized how much of a wreck he looked like, a busted lip and a black eye.

"Ricky!" Amy screamed as she flew into his Arms and clutched his back. "I was so scared, are you okay?" She asked wiping away the new tears forming in her eyes. Anne walked into the kitchen and came back carrying an ice pack which Ricky put on his eye.

"Yeah I'm fine down worry," He said rubbing her back. He took their son from her and quieted him down.

"Are you okay, I didn't want him to hurt you or John?" He asked a look of concern shadowing over his face.

"I think so, just really shaken up. What did Bob want?"

"What else," Ricky started with a grunt. "He wanted to take John away from me or sell him. When I said no and made him leave he started to beat me up." He was now bouncing John on his lap, making him laugh. "But he finally left."

"Thank God," Amy said, "I thought he was going to kill you." She stared deep into his eyes and saw how much he was hurting inside from his own father.

"I would never let that happen." He said and pulled her into a hug that lasted what seemed like forever. "Amy why don't you and John stay here for a few days, I don't want you two around if he comes back."

"Okay," She answered and grabbed his hand, pulling him into the kitchen.

"Hey mom," Amy said to get her mother's attention who had just got off the phone with the police and was sitting on the table. "Can me and John stay here for a while, since Bob is back in town?" She asked Anne.

"Yeah, sure honey and tell Ricky that I called the police on Bob." She replied, delighted to have her daughter and grandson under her roof again, even if it was only for a few days.

"Okay mom thanks," Amy kissed her mom lightly on the check and turned around to tell Ricky but he wasn't there.

She went up to her room thinking that maybe he had to change John's diaper. When she got there he was laying in her bed fast asleep and John was laying next to him, squeezing his arm and shaking it, trying to wake him up. Amy couldn't help but laugh, they looked so cute, almost like twins except for the size difference.

"Awww, come here John." She reached out to pick John up but when he lost the feel of his father laying next to him he started crying. "Okay, okay." She said laying him back down next to Ricky. "You sure are your daddy's boy."
