I was wrapped up in Johns warm hug. He was hugging me like I had to leave.
"You know I didn't really mean to hurt you?"
"Of course John I know you wouldn't ever hurt me on purpose."
He let out a big sigh and looked at my eyes.
"Were going to have a little baby to take care of." he beamed.
"That's right Johnny."
"Say, why don't we go out to celebrate? Around 7 o'clock."
" Where to?"
He turned around at the door frame.
"That my lovely is a surprise."
I got up and looked at the clock. It was half past noon. I didn't have any clothes or makeup so I called up Amy to see if she wanted to help me.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Hello?"
"Hi Amy!"
" Rose! I've missed you! When are you coming home?"
"I don't know. But I was calling to see if we could go shopping. I need to get some nice clothes."
"Of course! I'll meet you at Johns in 1 hour. Bye!"
The other line silenced with a click. Since I had an hour to kill I decided to go call Ritchie and tell him that I cant come back.
I dialed his number and twisted the cord around my finger waiting for an answer.
"Rose!?" he sounded like he was crying.
"Richard what's wrong?"
"It's dad, he finally did it."
I dropped the phone and fell to my knees. Hot tears came streaming down my cheeks.
'He did it. He told me after mum died he wouldn't. But he did"
