Three days had passed. Juliette was thinking of someway, any way to get in touch with John. If this could be his child he needed to know. Rick had come to the hospital every day. Today was the day Juliette got to get out of the hospital. She was ordered to stay in bed for a week. Juliette and Rick were at home. Juliette was sitting up in bed.
"Remember what the doctor said." Rick said. "You need to rest."
"I know." "I will."
"If you need anything I'll be right downstairs."
"Ok."
The next day Rick went to work. Juliette picked up her cell phone and dialed Angela's number.
"Hello?" Angela said.
"Hey it's me."
"Listen I need to do me a huge favor."
"What."
"I need you to in touch with Stephanie, give her my cell phone number and have her give it to John." "It's very important."
"Ok I'll do it right now."
Later that night in Alabama John was called into Stephanie's office.
"You wanted to see me?" He asked.
"Yes." "My friend Angela called me today and gave Juliette Barkley's number to give to you." "Juliette told Angela it's really important that she talks to you."
"Is that all?" He said picking up the piece of paper the number written on it.
"Yes you can go." He left.
Without even opening it John found the nearest trashcan and threw it away.
Four days later Juliette had come to the conclusion that John wanted nothing to do with her and no matter what it was going to be her and Rick raising the baby. She still knew she had to tell him that the baby might not be his.
Rick came home for lunch that day at around one 'o clock Juliette was on her laptop sitting up in bed.
"Baby what are you doing?" Rick said coming into the room.
"Just working a little."
"You're not supposed to be working at all." "You're supposed to be rest." "Now what kind of soup do you want for lunch?"
"Before you make lunch I have to tell you something."
"What is it?" He said sitting down on the bed.
"I was thinking about it and there's a chance that you're not the father of the baby." "I may or may not have had unprotected sex with John the night we slept together." "I haven't talked to but I've tried to get in contact with him and he hadn't responded." "That says to me he wants nothing to do with this baby."
"We don't need him anyway." "I'm the father." I know it." "No matter what." "We'll never need a DNA test or anything because I know the baby is mine." "I love you."
"I love you too." They kissed.
"I'll gonna go make lunch."
"Ok." He went downstairs. Once again John's words repeated in her brain. "It was a mistake. "It meant nothing."
"Our possible child was a mistake?" She thought. "Our possible child meant nothing?" She got tears in her eyes.
