A month had passed. Riley was beginning to show. She and John were going for the blood test tomorrow. Then they had to wait two days for the results to come back. Riley was in her classroom. It was her free period. Her cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi." John said. "How are you feeling?"
"Good." "I'm starting to show."
"That's great." "Wanna go to lunch tomorrow before the doctor?"
"I can't." "I'll be in class."
"Oh, right."
"I hope it doesn't take very long."
"Why?"
"I have a date with Jesse."
"Once again passing me up for him huh?"
"John don't start.
"I just hate sharing you."
"Like I liked sharing you."
"That's why I broke up with her."
"I know but you waited until I was in a new relationship."
"Look I don't wanna fight." "I love you."
"I love you too."
"If it is my baby will you consider moving in with me?"
"I'll have to think about it." "I have to go."
"Ok bye."
"Bye."
The next afternoon Riley met John at the DNA center.
"Hi." She said.
"Hi." "Ready?"
"Yeah."
They went in and gave there blood. Now all that was left to do was wait for the results.
"Wanna do something tonight?" John asked.
"John, I told you I have a date."
"Blow him off."
"I can't."
"Come on." "Let me take you out to dinner." "Afterwards we can go for a walk on the beach, talk about the baby."
"That sounds great but I can't."
"Alright." "Can I at least have a kiss?"
"Last time I kissed you, we ended up in bed together."
"Yeah." "Was that so bad?"
"No." "It was actually really great." "I gotta go."
"Not without giving me a kiss."
"Ok." They kissed.
"I love you Riley."
"I love you too." "Can I go now?"
"I guess."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Two days later Riley was sitting at home. Her cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?" She said. "Yes."
When Riley was finished with the call she dialed John's number.
"Hello?" He said.
"Hi John."
"Hey baby."
"John I just got off the phone with the DNA lab."
"So?"
"The baby's not yours."
"Oh." He said sounding disappointed.
"That means I can't see you anymore."
"What?"
"I'm going to have a child and a husband." "He deserves my faithfulness."
"Don't do this again Riley." "I love you."
"This will be the last time we ever speak." "Bye." She hung up.
The next evening Riley was at Jesse's house. They were laying on the couch.
"Honey." Jesse said.
"Hmm."
"What would you think about moving up the wedding?"
"To when."
"We have spring break next month." "I know we were planning a big wedding but what would you think about eloping?"
"Really?"
"Yeah." "We can have a big party with all our family and friends afterwards."
"Let's do it."
"Great."
