FLASHBACK NEW YORK CITY; 1988

bella placed her books in her bag as she finished up her last class of the day. she slung her back around her shoulder as she walked out of campus and walked to the apartment. upon entering the building, she grabbed her key from her bag and opened up the door. as she opened the door, she found johnny laying on the couch, fidgeting with the remote.

"hey hon." bella smiled as she placed her bag down. "how was work?"

"can we talk?" johnny said as he sat up.

"what's on your mind?" bella said as she took a seat next to johnny on the couch.

johnny took a deep breath as he intertwined his hand with hers. "why didn't you tell me?" johnny said as he looked into bella's green eyes.

"why didn't i tell you about what?" bella said with a confused look on her face.

"bella, stop, i know about the baby." johnny said as he stood up and paced around the room. "i know you're pregnant."

"john, what are you talking about?" bella said as johnny handed her a pregnancy test, then she remembered. a week after the couple went partying to palladium and studio for bella's birthday, she realized she had missed a few days of her period. out of curiosity, she decided to take a pregnancy test.

"why didn't you tell me you we're pregnant?" johnny said as bella held the test in her hands.

"because i'm not pregnant." bella said as she handed the test back to her boyfriend. "you see the single line? two means positive and one means negative."

"oh." johnny sighed as he held the small stick in his hands. "but if you were pregnant, would you have still told me?"

"we did agree to tell each other everything, right?" bella sighed as she ran a hand through her hair.

"yeah." johnny said. "just promise me that if you ever get pregnant, and it's mine, you'll tell me and we'll work it out, somehow."

"yeah." bella sighed. "i promise."

"these pieces are so cute!" bella said as she and jenna were checking inventory. bella ran her hands through the silky fabric of a sky blue slip dress. "too bad none of this is gonna fit me in a few months."
