Richard stepped a out of our way and sat down in a chair across the room. John was now looking at me with more concern than before.
"John, do you love me?"
"Of course! Why wouldn't I?"
I took a big deep breath and closed my eyes.
"Because John, I-" my voice craked.
"Just tell me love!"
"I'm pregnant!"
I opened my eyes and John was standing in front of me with fury in his eyes. He took a big step forward and his hand met my face with a slap.
"YOU WHORE!" He yelled.
I quickly go up and stood by Richard.
"DONT YOU EVER, EVER HIT MY SISTER AGAIN YOU BASTARD!"
Richard grabbed my hand and ran out of the room. I looked back to see John standing there mouthing 'I'm so sorry love' and tears streaming down his face.
Richard never let go of me. He guided me to his car and we drove to his house.
It was an awkward silence until Richard spoke up.
"Your not going back there."
"Ritchie I have to. We are never going to fix our problems if we leave them be. Besides I still love him."
"Rose! He slapped you!"
"I don't care! That was the past! I know he loves me!"
Ritchie took a deep breath.
"Fine. Just if I hear about him ever hurting you again I'll shoot him."
We pulled into Richard's drive and got out of the car. I sat on the couch while he made something to eat. I was looking through his records when someone knocked in the door.
"Hey Rosie! Can you get that for me!" Ritchie yelled from the kitchen.
"Yeah!"
I got up and swiftly opens the door. I wasn't ready for who it was.
"George?"
