"What?" John said shocked. His eyes were wide. "I might be a fa-That might be my-Yes we do need to talk right now." "Come on." They went to his room he unlocked the door and they went inside. They sat down on the couch. "How far along are you?"
"Five months." "Do you remember if we used a condom the night we were together because I don't."
"I don't remember either." "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Are you kidding me?" She said getting a little angry. "My boss gave Stephanie my cell phone number to give to you."
"I guess I shouldn't have thrown it away." "When did you find out?"
"When I was two months pregnant." "After I woke up in the hospital."
"The hospital?" "Was something wrong with the baby?"
"No I was suffering from extreme morning sickness." "It's under control now."
"Good." "Do you know what it is yet?"
"A girl." "I found out just a few days ago." "Wanna see a sonogram picture?"
"What's that?"
"A picture of the baby."
"We can see a picture of the baby?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah I wanna see it." She got it out of her purse and handed it to him. "Aw."
"There's her head and her arms and her legs." She said pointing it out.
"And she's ok?"
"She's great." "Not like it matters to you though right?" Juliette said with tears in her eyes remembering John's words to her the day after they slept together. "She's a mistake and she meant nothing right?" She said as tears came down her cheeks.
"Juliette." John said with sorrow in his voice.
"Well I think this conversation's over." "You know about the baby." "Goodbye." She stood up and went for the door.
"Juliette stop." He was right behind her. He put his hand on the door. "Turn around." She turned to face him. "I'm sorry I didn't mean that."
"You're only saying that because of the baby."
"No." "I said it because…
"Why?"
"Because I still have feelings for you and I'm afraid you'll hurt me again." "So I decided to hurt you first." "That night wasn't a mistake." "It was great." "It was the first time in years that I was actually happy."
"Well I have to go anyway." "I want to take a nap before I go back to work."
"Ok." "Can you come back tonight about nine?" "I wanna talk about the baby more."
"Ok." "Bye."
"Bye."
Juliette went back at nine o' clock just like John asked. She knocked on the door. He answered.
"Hi." He said.
"Hi." She went in and sat on the couch. He sat next to her.
"How was work?"
"Fine."
"What were you doing?"
"Interviewing past senators for my article."
"So you don't do sports reporting anymore?"
"No." "I always wanted to do political reporting."
"When we were dating how much of that was actually you?"
"What?"
"Did you make up a lot of things that you told me?"
"The only things I lied about were being a backstage announcer and doing a story on you." "I really do have a sister named Sarah." "My dad really did die in a fire and I loved you more then anything in the world John." "The day you found out who I was never in my life had I felt more ashamed and sorry." "I wanted to tell you."
"I wish you would've." "It would've meant more hearing it from you." "It just felt like you used me to get ahead in your work." "That really hurt me because I loved you."
"I know I loved you to." "I'd give anything to go back in time and tell you."
"Maybe we can try- He looked down at her ring hand completely forgetting Juliette's husband was a part of this to. He looked at her. "Oh right." "You're married now aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Does he know?"
"He knows everything." "I don't keep secrets in relationships anymore." "I learned my lesson." "You can only hurt the people you love with secrets."
"I want a DNA test."
"I figured you would." "Rick won't be happy about it but I'll talk to him." "As far as he concerned he's the father no matter what."
"Do you love him?"
"He's my husband of course I love him."
"More then you loved me?"
"John."
"You don't do you?"
"I love him the same amount I loved you." "I should go."
"Ok." "I'll walk you to the door." They stood up and walked to the door. "Oh." "Give me your number." She gave him her number. He gave her his.
"I'll let my doctor know we'll be doing a DNA test when she's born.
"Ok." "Juliette."
"What?"
"Is he better in bed then I am?" He said smiling.
"John stop." She said smiling and blushing.
"One thing you never said when we were in bed."
"Goodnight." To her surprise he kissed her.
"Goodnight." They smiled at each other. He left.
He picked up the sonogram picture and sat on the couch. He looked at the picture.
"Don't worry baby girl." "Daddy's here." He said smiling. "Hopefully I can convince mommy to come back so we can be a family."
