"That doesn't sound good," Adriana said.

She had her leg over Jon under the covers. She was staring at Jon's scar on his stomach.

"Just curious, how did you get this scar?" Adriana asked.

"Some punk criminal stabbed me," Jon said.

"People are so evil," Adriana said.

"Tell me about it. Now, your mom had come back home the next morning and she had went into the bathroom. She saw the box the pregnancy test came in in the trashcan. We were still asleep in our room when she walked in and woke us up," Jon continued.

"And what happened?"

"That was the first time I saw mom mad...and crying."

"We must've broken her heart."

"Damn near. She even found out about us drinking."

Flashback:

"Wake up you two!" Mrs. Germanotta said.

"Huh?" Jon said. "Hmmm...oh hey."

"Don't hey me! Adriana, wake your butt up!"

Jon started shaking Adriana.

"Wake up girl! Mom's mad."

"You damn right I'm mad!"

"Adriana, wake your ass up!"

"Watch your mouth!"

"Sorry."

"Why is everyone yelling?" Adriana said.

"You two better start talking now. Why was this in the trashcan?" Mrs. Germanotta said, holding up the box the pregnancy test was in.

Jon and Adriana looked at each other. The two of them wanted the other to start talking.

"If you two don't start talking, so help me," Mrs. Germanotta said.

"We were drinking this weekend," Adriana said quietly. "Me and Jon had sex. I took a pregnancy test to see if I was pregnant."

"Are you pregnant?" her mother asked.

"No I'm not," Adriana said.

Mrs. Germanotta breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, that's good. But why were you two having unprotected sex? I told you two to always use protection. I know I I didn't get you guys any this time but you two knew better."

"We were...loaded with drinks," Jon said.

"You two were drinking?"

"Yes ma'am," Jon said.

"Why were you two doing that?"

"We were being stupid," Jon said.

"Damn right you two were. You both are grounded for a week and I don't want to hear anymore about it! I'm so disappointed in you two."

Mrs. Germanotta stormed out of the room.

Jon and Adriana sat in awkward silence.

"We fucked up," Adriana said.

"Yeah, we did. I'll say give her an hour to cool down."

They found Mrs. Germanotta at the table crying silently an hour later. Jon and Adriana approached her slowly.

"Mom?"

Mrs. Germanotta looked up.

Adriana went up to her mother and gave her a hug.

"We're sorry," Adriana said.

"No, I messed up. I should've bought you guys some condoms. I wasn't thinking of making sure you two were protected," Mrs. Germanotta said.

"But we were drinking as well," Jon said. "So we were asking for trouble."

"The drinking part I'm not mad about anymore. Just don't do it again. It's just I've never been scared before in my entire life," Mrs. Germanotta said.

"We're sorry again," Jon said.

"It's okay. You guys are only grounded for two days now," Mrs. Germanotta said. "Now, help me make dinner you two."

Present:

"So, that was the story of us getting drunk and us being scared shitless because we thought you were pregnant," Jon said.

"Dang," Adriana said. "Good thing I wasn't."

"Nope. But we have four beautiful children together now," Jon said. He grabbed Adriana's hand and looked at her ring on her ring finger. Adriana noticed he had a slightly sad expression on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"When you fell and hit your head, I honestly thought you had died. When the doctors told me about your amnesia, my heart broke in two. You don't remember much. But you're slowly remembering things."

"Well, when we had sex that did help. Made me feel...better. Like we are meant to be together," Adriana said. "That's why it was passionate. Rough, but passionate."

"I know. You'll be okay. I know it. Now, let's get some sleep. Goodnight love," Jon said.

"Goodnight. I love you, Jonathan," Adriana.

"I love you more, Adriana," Jonathan said.

Jon brought the kids back home the next morning. Adriana welcomed the kids with open arms. Jon was in the nursery changing Jasmine's diaper.

"Okay, now before you go pee pee, please let Daddy put on your diaper," Jon said. He cleaned Jasmine and put a diaper on her. "There ya go."

Jon slipped a new pair of pants on Jasmine then picked her up and held her.

"You know, your brothers and sister all have peed on me at some point when they were babies. Good thing you haven't done so. Yet. You look just like your mother."

Jasmine was smiling at her father. Jon's heart grew three sizes. There was absolutely nothing he wouldn't do for his family.

"Daddy loves you very much," Jon said. "Now, let's go see what the others are doing."

Jon went outside in the backyard and watched as everyone played softball. It was relaxing to see Adriana becoming comfortable around everyone again. Tomorrow Jon would have to go back to work. It was going to be a busy week for Jon. He started to worry about how Adriana would be during the week. Yes, she was progressing but Jon wanted to stay with her.

Later on that night, Jon was putting the kids to sleep.

"Daddy, will Mommy ever remember us?" J.J. asked.

"She will. You just have to give her some time," Jon said.

"What if she doesn't remember us?" J.J. asked.

"Don't say that. She will. Everything's going to be alright. Now lay down and get some sleep," Jon said.

J.J. laid next to his brother.

"Do you have to go back to work?" Aiden asked.

"Yes, I do," Jon said.

"I don't want you to go," Aiden said.

"Yeah. I don't either," J.J. said.

Jon sat on the bed.

"Now I want you-"

"Daddy, are you telling a bedtime story?" Madaline asked. She had entered into the room.

"Sort of. I need to tell of three of you guys something," Jon said. He hoisted Madaline onto his lap.

"Okay, now I want all three of you to listen and listen good. Mommy still has amnesia. That's when you can't remember anything. Now, good thing this is only temporarily. She can't remember much of what's happened in the last few years but soon she'll be back to her normal self. Mommy will remember each and every one of you. She still loves you guys and so do I. I may work a lot but I want you guys to remember that Mommy and Daddy love you guys very much," Jon said. He was trying his hardest not to cry but a tear drop fell from his face.

Madaline wiped the tear from her father's cheek.

"Don't cry, Daddy," Madaline said.

Both J.J. and Aiden got up to give their father a hug. All three children hugged their father with all of their might.

"You're the best Daddy in the entire universe," Madaline said.

"Yes, you are the best Daddy in the entire universe," Aiden said.

"The entire universe," J.J. said.

"Thank you," Jon said. "Thank you all so much. Okay, now everyone off to bed."

"Awwww, do we have to?" Madaline said.

"Yes love. You have to," Jon said.

J.J. and Aiden gave their father a kiss goodnight and laid back down under the covers. Jon and Madaline left their room and went to hers.

"Princess Madaline, this is your room. And your bed awaits you," Jon said, carrying Maddy into her room.

"There's something in my closet," Madaline said. She buried her head into her father's chest.

"What's in it?" Jon asked.

"A monster. A big fat hairy monster. She's mean," Maddy said.

Jon carried Maddy over to her closet and opened it. He turned on the light.

"Nothing here. I think I scared her away," Jon said.

"You're the best Daddy," Maddy said.

"I know," Jon said.

He shut the light off, closed the closet door, then carried Maddy back to her bed. Jon pulled the covers back and laid Maddy down. He then pulled the covers over her.

"Goodnight princess," Jon said. He gave Maddy a kiss on the forehead.

"Goodnight Daddy," Maddy said.

Jon was about to turn off her lamp when Maddy spoke up again.

"Daddy?"

"Yes sweetheart?"

"When you go to sleep, think happy thoughts. Don't cry. I don't like it when you cry. It makes me sad."

"I won't. I promise."

Jon turned off Maddy's light then got up and left the room.

Jon went to his room and found Adriana reading more letters.

"Anything sounding familiar?" Jon said, taking off his shirt. He then took off his pants and slipped on some sweatpants.

"A little. Oh, by the way, that hamster is so cute. When did you buy it?" Adriana asked.

"Remember I told you that I bought the hamster for you when I came back home from the Army?" Jon said.

"Oh yeah. I think I do remember that. Wasn't the hamster's name...did it start with a "M" or something?" Adriana said.

"Yes. His name is Mickey," Jon said.

"Now I remember! Now that I think about it...didn't I tell you to stop being mean to it or something? I don't know but I feel like I've told you that before," Adriana said.

"Yes, you said that too," Jon said.

He got into bed and cuddled next to Adriana.

"I'm reading a little letter you wrote me when you were little. I do remember this," Adriana said.

She read aloud:

"Dear Adriana,

I didn't want to wake you up because you were sleeping. But I wanted you to know that I was pretty lonely when you were asleep. So, when you wake up, please come play with me.

Love, Jonathan

P.S. I love you wifey."

Jon chuckled.

"I loved writing letters to you. It gave me peace. Even though we lived in the same house with each other, I still wanted to write to you. Give you something to remember me by," Jon said. "We also created a lot of memories together."

"This may sound stupid, but you must really love me," Adriana said. "Don't you?"

"I love you very much. You complete me. I honestly don't know what I'd do if I ever lost you," Jon said. "The kids and your parents and my mom and stepdad would all be devastated. Very."

Adriana set the letters on her nightstand and hugged Jon tight.

"I love you very much too. I'm sorry if I can't remember everything," Adriana said.

"It's not your fault," Jon said. "Don't beat yourself up. Come on, let's get some sleep."
