Here's chapter 35! I hope you like it! Please R&R! I do not own anything from The Secret Life Of The American Teenager! Thank you! I really appreciate everyone's reviews! :) This one is not going to have Grace and Ricky in it.
The next morning in New York...
Ben and Amy woke up as they sat up in bed after stretching their arms.
"Good morning Amy...How did you sleep?" Ben asked smiling.
"Morning Ben...I slept pretty well...What time is it?" Amy said as she wiped her eyes.
"It's almost ten...It felt good to sleep in...What do you want for breakfast?" Ben said happily.
"Anything you want...After everything you did for my birthday yesterday, you deserve to eat whatever you want today." Amy said sweetly.
"All right...I think there's a continental breakfast downstairs." Ben said nicely.
"Sounds good to me. Let's go." Amy smiled as she got out of bed and put her shoes on.
"Heh...You're so beautiful in the morning." Ben smirked.
"What? I know my hair probably needs to be brushed but I'm too tired to care right now...Heh..." Amy seriously as she pushed hair back.
"It looks really hot actually...He he...How does mine look?" Ben said as he got out of bed and put his shoes on.
"Like you just got out of bed...Heh...It looks good like that." Amy giggled.
"Sure it does..." Ben smiled as he looked in the mirror above the TV.
"All right mister prissy...Let's go eat...I'm starving." Amy said as she opened the door.
"Ha ha...I'm coming..." Ben said as he walked to the door. Amy closed it behind them.
"Um...Aren't you forgetting something?" Amy said suspiciously as she grinned.
"Am I?" Ben asked confused.
"Heh...Yeah...You forgot to do this." Amy said sweetly as she put her arms around Ben's neck and then she kissed him passionately.
"Oh yeah...Heh...We can do more of that later...Let's go get some breakfast." Ben said happily as he grabbed Amy's hand.
Meanwhile at Adrian's and Omar's house...
"Good morning Adrian." Omar said kindly as he walked into their room with breakfast.
"Oh Omie...Breakfast in bed again? You really don't have to do that for me." Adrian said as she stretched her arms.
"Why wouldn't I want to do that for you? You're my beautiful wife who's having my lovely child. I gotta make sure you eat right for you and the baby." Omar said happily as he put the tray on the dresser.
"Of course...I can't forgot that I'm eating for two now...Thank you...One of these days I'll actually wake up before you do so I can make you breakfast." Adrian said sweetly.
"Heh...We'll see about that. I'm glad that you had a great time with Dante and Lauren last night." Omar smiled slowly as he sat next to Adrian.
"Yeah...Dinner was a little awkward at first but I did have a lot of fun...I didn't know how competitive you could be with Dante when it comes to games. I thought you were going to lose it when we played Sorry...Ha ha..." Adrian smiled as she took a bite of her eggs.
"Heh...Yeah I've always been really competitive with him...That's what brothers do but we really love each other...When it comes to basketball, I always beat him though..." Omar said seriously.
"Ha...I bet...Your height defiantly helps you with that. You also beat him at kissing and...in bed." Adrian smirked.
"Oookay...That's a little disturbing to hear but I'm glad to hear that...Heh..." Omar said awkwardly.
"Oh right...I know I shouldn't have slept with him but it wasn't that great...Trust me..." Adrian said honestly.
"Really? If it wasn't that great, then how come you asked me when he was coming back from Europe?" Omar said sarcastically.
"Heh...Very funny...I liked him but then I fell for you and now look at us...We're finally married with our first kid on the way...I should probably see a doctor next week too." Adrian said sincerely.
"I know Adrian...Heh...I'm really happy that you did fall for me. Hopefully the doctor will be really helpful throughout your pregnancy." Omar said kindly.
"Me too...I'm sure she will...I think I have a female doctor here...It's not like it really matters..." Adrian said as she ate more of her eggs.
"Yeah...Who the doctor is, is the least of my worries...I just hope the baby develops to be healthy..." Omar said sweetly.
"I guess we'll see...What do you want to do today?" Adrian said seriously as she took a bite of her toast.
"Hmm...We could go to the zoo...That might be fun." Omar said as he rubbed his chin.
"That does sound like fun. We can have lunch there too." Adrian said excited as she wiped her mouth.
"For sure. They have pretty cheap food. I'm going to take a shower and we can go whenever." Omar said happily and he gave Adrian a quick kiss on the lips.
"Mmm...All right...Enjoy it..." Adrian said nicely as Omar went into the bathroom.
A few minutes later Adrian's phone rang.
"Hello?" Adrian said as she answered her phone.
"Good morning Adrian. It's me." Reuben said nicely.
"Morning Dad...Isn't it like seven something in the morning for you?" Adrian asked surprised.
"Yes it is and I wanted to get up early so I could do some work before I spent the rest of the day with your mother. I've been working on Bob's case for a couple weeks now." Reuben said seriously.
"Oh...Where are you taking Mom? And how is that coming along?" Adrian said sincerely.
"I'm taking her to a seafood place. It's really nice. Anyway...Bob can not get sentenced the death penalty in New York because it is not legal there." Reuben said honestly.
"That's romantic...Mom loves sea food...Oh yeah...I forgot about that. Is it possible for him to get trialed in California for it?" Adrian said happily and then asked concerned.
"No he can't because he committed the crime of shooting Omar in New York. If he did it here, then it would be no problem. I know how badly Ricky wants to see Bob get what he deserves but I just don't know how that is going to be legally possible." Reuben said sadly.
"What if you get the trial moved to California?" Adrian said honestly.
"That wouldn't make a difference because he did the crime in New York...And he's already been to court and jail here for several crimes..." Reuben said seriously as he looked at some paper work.
"Ugh...I hate all these stupid laws about crimes. A crime should have the same consequences for everyone regardless of the state that they committed it in." Adrian said annoyed.
"I agree with you Adrian but we can't help what the laws are in each state because they have their own governments. However, there is a chance that if we took this case to the Supreme Court, then Bob could get the death penalty." Reuben said concerned.
"Then do it! Bob deserves to get punished for what he did to Omar and Ricky." Adrian said a little angrily.
"It's not that simple, kiddo...It usually takes years for the Supreme Court to hear each case. Depending on what it is, they might not want to hear it. Bob already has a trial so I think it's best if we use it to try and convince the judge to let us take the case to the Supreme Court." Reuben said honestly.
"This is so complicated Dad...Why can't we just convince the judge to allow Bob to get the death penalty in a state that is legal?" Adrian said seriously.
"Tell me about it...It's worth a shot but it might be kind of risky...I've never had to deal with a case like this before so I don't know if it will work...There's also the jury that has to be convinced." Reuben said worried.
"Oh...I'm sure we can do it...If Ricky has all his friends and family there to support him and to help convince the judge that he has been through hell and back, there's no way the judge will say no." Adrian said honestly.
"You do have a valid point...I think you're going to be a great lawyer someday Adrian...I'm really proud of you...We'll try the best we can and...hopefully it will work." Reuben said kindly.
"Thank you Dad. And thank you for all your help...I'm proud of you too for finally being a part of my life and Mom's...We both love you so much." Adrian said sweetly.
"I know you do...And I'll do anything for you and your Mom...I love you too Adrian." Reuben said happily.
"I don't know what I would do without you...And Omar and I are having a baby." Adrian said nervously.
"Thanks Adri...What? You're pregnant? Congratulations!" Reuben said shocked and then excited.
"Heh...Yes I am...We're really excited!" Adrian smiled as she began to feel her eyes get watery.
"That is just great! I'm really happy for you two! And I get to be a grandfather!" Reuben said with a lot of joy.
"Thanks Dad...I need to get going but I have one more question for you...Do you know that Max is here?" Adrian said sweetly and then seriously.
"You're welcome...No I didn't...What is he doing in New York?" Reuben asked surprised.
"He works here and...he hired a guy to key Omar's car because I wouldn't...sleep with him..." Adrian said sadly.
"Oh vey! What is wrong with him? How long ago did this happen?" Reuben said a little irritated.
"I don't know...But I ran into him about a month ago and the car got keyed a few weeks ago...We got it repainted." Adrian answered as she started to change clothes.
"All right...I'll have to talk to his mother about this...Did he pay for you to get the car repainted?" Reuben asked worried.
"Yes he did...I just hope I don't run into him again. I'll talk to you later Dad and see you in about a month." Adrian said honestly.
"Me too...See you soon Adrian...Love you. Bye." Reuben said kindly.
"Love you too...Bye Dad." Adrian hung up and she looked for some make up to put on.
A few hours later in California...
Ethan was at Kathy's house and he rang the doorbell.
"Hey Ethan...What are you doing here?" Kathy asked confused as she opened the door.
"Hey Kathy...I was wondering if you could help me study for my geometry test? I brought you flowers too." Ethan said happily as he gave Kathy a bouquet of white flowers.
"Aww Ethan! You're so sweet! Thank you...Of course I'll help you study. Come on in." Kathy said kindly as Ethan walked in the house.
"You're welcome...So are you going to see Brian?" Ethan said as the walked into the kitchen.
"Well that depends..." Kathy said as she put the flowers in a vase.
"That depends on what?" Ethan asked concerned.
"If you want to be with me or Chloe." Kathy said seriously as she crossed her arms.
"Oh...I defiantly want to be with you. I was just infatuated with Chloe. I love you Kathy...A lot." Ethan said honestly.
"Uh huh...Are you sure you're not saying that just because you want to have sex with me?" Kathy said suspiciously as she raised an eyebrow.
"Of course not! I know I'm not ready to have sex. I thought I was but...I'm not...I'm only a sophomore in high school for God's sake...I don't know what the hell I'm doing...I just want to have a second chance with you and...I'm sorry that I messed up before." Ethan said seriously as he looked at Kathy in the eyes.
"All right...I forgive you and...I love you too Ethan." Kathy smiled as she gave Ethan a hug.
"Thank you Kathy...I'm going to be the best person that I can for you. I promise I will." Ethan said sincerely as he let go of Kathy.
"I sure hope so because I don't want to be in another hurtful relationship...Now we should get to studying." Kathy said nicely as she sat down at the table.
"Me either..." Ethan smiled as he sat next to Kathy and then he pulled out his math book.
There you have it! What's going to happen next with Ben and Amy? Will Omar and Adrian have a good time at the zoo? Will Reuben talk to Max about what he wanted to do with Adrian? Will the trial also go well for Ricky and everyone else? That's not going to happen for awhile by the way but it's just something to keep in mind. What's going to happen next with Ethan and Kathy? Stay tuned for a special chapter with Grace and Ricky for Valentine's Day that I will post tomorrow! Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
