In Love With Mr. Doggy (Skillet Fanfic)

Alternative Ending

(A/N: Hey, panheads! This is the last chapter of In Love With Mr. Doggy but on the bright side, Insanity (Sequel to The Depressing Life of John Cooper) is going to start soon!)

What if...? What if John hadn't been blind by temptation?

Will he still be alive today and wouldn't he suffer the consequences?

John's POV

Rica and I are in the park today. And you know what? She is about to kiss me right now. But I have to remain faithful to my wife, Korey, even though she's in a comatic state. I may have feelings for Rica, but I love my wife even more because of the family we managed to build.

Rica was leaning now in front of my face, but I gently pushed her away.

"John?"

She opened her eyes and mentioned my name with a disheartened tone.

I shook my head and said, "I'm sorry, Rica. It's really over between us. I hope you understand."

She reluctantly nodded and sighed. She started to walk away and I just let her. Meanwhile, Ben rushed to me and told me that Korey has awaken. I stood up from my sit and followed Ben to the hospital.

Still John's POV

"Rica, stop! Do you want to kill me? DO YOU WANT TO KILL ALL OF US?!"

Rica still tried to pry my hands away from her. I gripped her tightly and tightly until she lost her grip on the knife she was holding. She stumbled down the floor and she looks up to me.

"John, I humbly... apologize."

Oh, please! I heard that line many times ago. I need for Rica to stay away from us forever. My feelings for her went numb and I don't care about the past anymore. I just want her to go away for her never to hurt us anymore.

I sighed and I clutched her hand tightly.

"Rica, I know we had a tragic but passionate past but..."

Before saying the word, I glanced back to the bruised up and beaten Korey then back to Rica's eyes.

Her black eyes were beaming and shining. But... I'm not going to get confused with her temptations anymore. She needs to leave. As much as it hurts me, I need to sacrifice in not seeing her for the sake of my family.

"We had a tragic and passionate past but... you need to leave. You need to stay away from us... forever. I'm truly sorry, Rica." I continued.

"What?!" she gasped.

A stream of tears went down her eyes.

"Please, Rica. Pack up your things and get back to your country. Do it before I tell all what you have done to the government officials. Go away... now!"

I pecked Rica on her cheeks. She looked at me for a moment and slowly turned away without another word. She grasped the door handle and exited the room then the building.

Third Person's POV

In the woods, she silently walked away. Her exhausted and confused body walked weakly. She stumbled down and looked around her. She was in the city again.

Rica went home and packed up her stuff. She stared at the old photograph of her and John when they were kids. And with tears, she hugged it and tore it apart.

She is going to get a therapy in her country to forget everything about John.

She wiped off her tears for knowing that crying isn't going to help her baby.

Suddenly, she felt pain in her womb and her water suddenly broke. The baby is coming!

She immediately called for a cab and the cab drove her to the nearest hospital.

She delivered the baby named Ashley beautifully and without pain.

Ashley looks exactly like her. Except, she has a blonde hair and a more fair skin like his father, Ben.

Rica wrote an address and showed it to the nurse who was holding her baby.

"Please, deliver this baby when the right time comes to this address."

The nurse was surprised. Is this mother going to leave her child just like that?

"But Ma'am! Your daughter will grow up without a mother. Do you really want that?"

"It hurts me too but... I know deep inside that I won't be a good mother. Besides, she's still premature, you can talk to her everyday about me. I'll send money for her treatments, I promise just please... take her."

The nurse nodded and Rica beamed with tears on her eyes.

She gave one last kiss on her daughter's forehead.

"Remember this kiss, Ashley. I'm so sorry. Momma loves you... she'll always will. I hope that one day, you'll be able to forgive me but... you're in safer hands now. Even though I won't remember anything about you, I'll surely remember the love that you gave me when you were inside my womb."

Rica handed a silver necklace to the nurse. The nurse accepted it and she knows what to do with it. She is going to give this necklace to Ashley when she grows up and she'll tell everything about her mother.

"I really appreciate your help. Thank you." Rica thanked the nurse.

The nurse nodded and left the room with Ashley in her arms.

Rica sank her head deep down the pillow and fell asleep.

3 Days Later

Rica went back to Philippines safely and got her treatment. Though at first, it was hard to forget about John, it finally worked. She totally forgot about him. Sadly, she also forgot about her baby but she lived a happy and comfortable life as a Christian singer.

Meanwhile, months have passed and John recieved the baby, Ashley.

He didn't want to recieve it at first but he took pity. The baby doesn't have any fault about what had happened. John took care of her until she grew up.

So, my folks, the lesson of the story is clear.

If there is a special someone and you really want them but they don't want you anymore, you have to let go.

It might be hard at first but you'll learn to accept it... eventually.

There is a reason why you and that person never married or something else.

All we need is acceptance to the truth. We need to learn how to accept or otherwise, things will just end dirty and messed up.

Anywho, thanks for the good 3 months of reading the story and waiting for the slow updates.

Bye! And I hope that you'll meet a special someone someday.
