*Thank-you for all the reviews on the last chapter. They were greatly appreciated. Thank-you all so much! = )

The next day my mom and dad went out to run errands. Their Saturday mornings had been the same routine since I was a little girl. They would wake up, go out to eat breakfast together, go to the farmer's market to get produce items, go out for lunch together and then go to the grocery store. I thought it was funny that they still had the same routine on a Saturday morning. My Saturday mornings consisted of spending as much time with my two favorite guys as I could before going back to work that Monday. This Saturday was no exception except I was spending it with my three favorite guys instead of my two favorite. Max was in the living watching some show on Sprout while I was feeding Zachary and Dave was watching Sprout with Max. "Babe," I said.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"I know you're going to kill me but I need you to run to the store really quick."

"What for?" he asked.

"I miscounted and ran out of diapers for Zachary. I only have two left and we're here for another day. Can you run to pick me up a pack of diapers?"

"Sure," he said, "Pampers?"

"Yes please," I said with a smile. "Thank-you so much."

"You're welcome," he said getting up from the couch, "Max, do you want to go to the store with Daddy?"

"Yes, Daddy," he said as he jumped up from the couch.

"Let's go then," he said taking Max's hand. "We'll be back," he said before kissing my lips quickly.

"See you when you get back," I said with a smile as I went to burp Zachary.

When I was finished burping Zachary he was done eating because I couldn't get him to latch on so I got myself together and then changed Zachary's diaper. I couldn't believe that I had miscounted diapers and almost ran out. "There you go. I hope you feel better," I said to Zachary as he smiled at me. "And you didn't pee on me. We're making progress, Buddy!" I said with a smile as I tickled him. He gave me a toothless smile. "You're so cute. Yes you are," I said. He was an absolute cutie. I picked him up from the couch and took his diaper out back to throw it away and then washed my hands before going back into the living room. I was just about to put Zachary in his travel swing when the doorbell rang. "I wonder who that could be. I'll be right back," I said putting him in the swing and strapping him in before going to get the door. I had no idea who it could have been. I was thinking it was Dave because he forgot something but when I opened the door I did not see Dave standing there. "John," I said.

"Hey, Tess," he said.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. I wasn't sure why John was at my parents' doorstep. It's not like we talked since I found out he wasn't the father of Zachary. That was a while ago so I couldn't understand why he was at my parents' house. The last time I talked to him he told me he wanted nothing to do with me and we would never be friends so it just didn't make sense but a lot of things John had been doing lately weren't making sense.

"I just came by to see you," he said, "my mom told me you had the baby."

"Yeah," I said.

"And I saw Dave left so I thought I would come over to see him and to talk to you."

"So what you're watching the house?" I asked.

"No. I was outside working on my car when I saw Dave leave. I figured this would be a good time to come see you and see the baby."

"John, I don't know," I said, "it's not a good idea. If Dave comes home and finds you here he's going to be upset."

"We're friends right?" he asked as Zachary started crying.

"I thought we were but you don't' want to be friends remember?" I asked as Zachary cried louder.

"I want to be friends with you, Tessa, no matter what happened between us you will always be my best friend. I need my best friend."

"John, we're not best friends anymore. I have to go. My son is crying," I said.

"Please just talk to me, Tess, and let me see the baby," he said.

I really didn't' have time to argue with him because Zachary was crying so I said, "Fine, come in." He came in and shut the door and followed me to the living room. "What's the matter, Buddy?" I asked as I picked him up out of the swing. "It's okay." I said as I rocked him.

"He's cute, Tess," he said. "What's his name?"

"Zachary," I said as I sat down on the couch.

"Zachary? I always thought your son's name would be Atticus," he said sitting down in my father's chair.

"Oh yeah To Kill A Mockingbird one of the best literary pieces in America. One of my all time favorites. Dave would never go for the name Atticus although he does like To Kill a Mockingbird."

"I didn't know he could read," said John.

"Be nice," I said, "he is my fiancee."

"All right so now you two are engaged? Whatever happened to the Tessa that wasn't going to have kids or the Tessa that was never getting married? Now you're a mom and you're getting married. What happened to you?"

"You wanted to have a baby and I didn't but I gave up birth control for you and ended up getting pregnant by Dave. That's what happened and I love Dave. I want to marry him."

"But you never wanted to marry me? I see how it is, Tessa."

"John, did you come here to talk or to cause drama?"

"I came here to talk," he said. "Anyway, how is it being a mom?"

"It's good. It's really fun. I love it. Zachary is my life," I said. This was true. I loved being a mom. I never thought being a mom was for me and now that it happened I wouldn't change it for the world. Zachary meant everything to me and even though I worked a lot I looked forward to coming home to be with my baby.

"That's good," he said. "Can I hold him?"

"I don't know if that's a good idea," I said.

"Tess, I'm not going to hurt him. Just let me hold him," he said.

"All right," I said handing him to John. "Just watch his head."

"I know," he said as he held him. "Hey, Zachary. I'm John. I hope you know you have the best mommy in the world. They don't get any better than her. You got really lucky to have her." John was getting me confused by talking to Zachary that way not too long ago he was saying I was a horrible person now all of a sudden I wasn't. I just didn't' get it. "Tessa, he has your eyes. Beautiful blue eyes. They are beautiful."

"Thanks," I said.

"When was he born?"

"Valentine's Day," I said.

"Tessa, are you sure he's Dave's and not mine?"

"John, I'm sure. We had a paternity test done. He's Dave's. Stop. I don't get what it is with you and your mom. She was here yesterday saying you were the father. You are NOT the father. Dave is."

"I want a paternity test done," he said.

"John, no, I already had one done when I was pregnant. He is 100% Dave's son. I'm not getting another test done on him."

"I want one more. To make sure it was accurate," he said.

"No, John. It was accurate and he's not yours," I said. I was starting to get upset. I didn't like him pushing me to get another paternity test done on Zachary. One was enough. It's not like the results would change. Dave would come back as the father once again. "And if this is what you're going to do then you can leave."

"Tess, I'm sorry. You just don't know how hard this is for me."

"How hard what is?" I asked.

"This. Seeing you with Dave, having Dave's baby, getting married to him. It's really hard to see you living the life I wanted with you with someone else. It hurts."

"John, you only have yourself to blame for that. You were controlling and pushy. You wanted everything your way. You never once took how I felt into consideration. And you cheated on me while we were together. Dave told me about it. I'm not saying what I did was right but you have to know we grew apart. WE wanted different things. We needed different things. We needed a different life. John, we were over long before I cheated on you with Dave. You know that and I know that. We just didn't want to admit it but it was over for a while."

"Tess, you were everything to me and when you cheated on me with Dave it tore me apart and then I found out you were pregnant. I had that hope inside that the baby was mine. I wish it was mine but when I heard it was Dave's it tore me apart even more. I may not have been the best boyfriend but I tried, Tessa. I shouldn't have tried to control you, I should have let you do what you wanted to do. I should have taken what you wanted into consideration. I'm sorry that I never did."

"John, it's too late for what you should have done. It's over and it's going to be over. John, you and me just wanted different things. You wanted a family, you wanted marriage but I wanted a career," I said.

"But you have a family and you're getting married and have a career.. I don't know why you couldn't do that with me," he said. "Why Dave, Tessa, why did you choose Dave?"

"I didn't choose Dave my heart did, John."

"So you're saying that for 16 years you didn't love me?"

"I didn't say I didn't love you because I do, John, I just love Dave more. John, you have to remember for 16 years we were together. I never experienced anyone else. You were the only person I knew. I should have had more life experiences, John and being with the same person for 16 years doesn't give you life experiences."

"But Dave. Tessa? He's not even your type."

"How can you tell me what my type is when I've only been with one guy for 16 years."

"You know what I mean," he said, "Dave is an animal and he has no respect for women and you're the biggest feminist I know and you condone that and became just another notch in his belt He's an asshole, Tessa."

"The asshole that's my son's father," I said, "and the asshole that went out to buy diapers for his son when I asked. He's the asshole that quit his job because he wanted to be at home with his son and his fiancee. He's the asshole that has never once yelled at me like you have. He's not an asshole, John. He is the sweetest most caring guy in the world. It's people like you that make him an asshole," I said taking Zachary from him. He was starting to get me even more upset by talking so badly about Dave. He didn't know Dave like I did. He only knew the asshole Dave because John antagonized him to the point of being an asshole.

"Tessa, you don't know him. He's an asshole and you're going to find out that you made the biggest mistake of your life."

"No, John, the biggest mistake of my life was staying with you for so long and never living the life I wanted to. That was the biggest mistake of my life. I wasted 16 years doing what YOU wanted to do. Not what I wanted to do. You don't know Dave like I do. You think you do but you have NO idea who he really is and what he's really about. And if you came here to tear him down you can leave. I will NOT have you bad mouthing Zachary's father in front of him."

"It's not like he understands what I'm saying, Tessa, besides he's part Batista. He can't be that smart."

"Did you just call my baby dumb?" I asked.

"I guess I did," he said.

"Get out," I said. "Just get out. I thought you wanted to try to be friends but no you have to insult me, my boyfriend and my son. Just get out, John."

"Tessa, I'm sorry. That's just my anger talking. I told you it's hard for me to see you living this life. I love you, Tessa. I would do anything to get you back."

"You can do anything you want but you're not getting me back. You don't even have me as a friend, John. Get out," I said getting up to let him out of the house.

"Tess, please. Give me a chance to be your friend. I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said. Please."

"No, John, get out. And I suggest you do so before Dave comes back from the store."

"Tess, please. I'm sorry. I love you. I can't live without you."

"You're doing a pretty good job of it aren't you?" I asked. "John, don't come here feeding me this bullshit. I really don't need it. Just leave. You can't…." I said before he pressed his lips against mine and kissed me. I pulled away and said, "John, what are you doing? You need to leave…."

"Tess, please," he said.

"Leave," I said opening the door for him.

"Fine," he said, "but I will never stop loving you. I promise you that."

"Bye, John," I said as I shut the door in his face. I had no time for his lies, his games and all the nonsense he was trying to pull. He was too confusing. One minute he hated me, the next he loved me or one minute he wanted to be friends, the next he didn't and then another time he wanted to be more than friends. I just didn't get him. I couldn't understand him like I used to. I actually believe John snapped from everything that happened between us. He was young enough to find love again. I managed to find love. I would probably never be friends with him again after that stunt he pulled but only time would tell I guess. I just wanted him to be happy like I was. He just wasn't happy anymore but that was his choice. He could be happy if he wanted to be but he wasn't letting himself be happy. I actually felt bad for him but everyone makes their choices in life. I chose Dave and John chose to leave me. It was just the way life went. I looked down at Zachary and saw his blue eyes looking up at me. "I'm sorry, Zachary. I'm really sorry about that. I promise Mommy will never let that happen again," I said as there was a knock on the door. "Please not again," I said to Zachary before opening the door.

When I opened the door I saw Dave and Max standing there this time. "Sorry it took me so long," he said, "I just saw Cena, he looked upset."

"Yeah," I said.

"Did he do something?" he asked as he came into the house.

"Just bullshitting," I said. "It's not a big deal."

"Are you sure because if he did something I will go over there and snap his neck."

"Dave, it's fine. Just let it be," I said.

"All right," he said, "are you sure because I will do what I need to do."

"I'm sure," I said. "It's nothing. Thank-you though."

"You're welcome," he said with a smile. "You know I love you."

"I know. I love you too," I said as I kissed his lips.

"Ew," said Max.

"What?" asked Dave.

"You two kissed!" He answered, "why did you kiss?"

"Because I love her, Buddy. I'm crazy about her."

"Oh," said Max.

"I'm really crazy about her," he said with a smile before he kissed my lips again. That was good to know because I was just as crazy about him. I loved him so much and nothing was ever going to change that. My heart knew what it wanted and it wanted Dave.

*A/N: So what did you think? Please review and thank-you for taking the time to read.

*I guess since this story is almost over I have decided to do a sequel but from John's point of view about his life AFTER Tessa... I am having trouble with coming up a name for it though so I would like to hear some suggestions on what you think it should be called. Thank-you so much.
