One Promise Too Late

Chapter 17

Love Changes

The next day Stevie took Christine's advice and met Lindsey at a coffee shop near by. She sat him down and told him the truth. "Lindsey, i called you hear so we can talk."

"Sure Steves, what is it?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know how else to tell you this but I'm pregnant and you might be the father..."

He sat there silently. "What?"

"I am carrying an unborn child and there is a 50/50 chance it's yours." She rephrased.

"I know that! But what do you mean MIGHT be mine??... Were you sleeping with him when we were-"

"No! But I was before! And 'HE' is still my husband."

"So what happens now? Do I have to marry you?"

"WHAT? No. Lindsey, calm down, I don't even know if it's your's yet."

"Have you told him yet?"

Lindsey was almost shaking himself out of his chair, he was so delirious. He had always wanted a child but not at this age! He still had so many things he wanted to do with his life! And he didn't want the child brought up this way! Knowing that his father got his mother pregnant when she was married to another man; his BOSS!

"Lindsey... Lindsey!?"

"Sorry. What were you saying?"

He refocused. "I was saying that Mick doesn't know, and I don't want him to just in case."

"WHAT!? That kid as of now; has just as much of a chance as being mine as his!"

"I know, I just don't want to cause any more trouble. Especially when it's not needed. I promise, that no matter what, if it's your's, we will figure something out! Same with if it isn't!"

"I'm sorry, I'm just so afraid! I've kind of never had a child before!"

"I know, I understand! Imagine; you aren't even the one carrying it!"

He relaxed more and laughed. "So how far alone are you?" He asked, not having a clue what to say, or what to ask or expect.

"I don't know yet. Mick took me to the doctor this morning because I was vomitting and the doctor told me I was pregnant and gave me a paper with the date of my appointment. It's in a few weeks from now, then I'll know a lot more! I'll call you and tell you everything when I get home."

"You aren't going alone, are you?"

"No, Mick's taking me."

He sighed. "I'm sorry Lindsey, but he is my husband..."

"I know, I know."

He looked at his watch. "I'm sorry I have to leave so early, but they want me back at the studio soon."

"Okay." She said standing up.

He brought her into his arms and held her close. "Don't worry Stevie, I promise we'll get through this." He looked into her eyes. "I love you, Stevie and I can learn to love this baby too."

She was so scared she had no idea what to say back. He had actually said he loved her. She felt like she shoudl say it back, but when she tried to speak nothing came out. She couldn't say it back. She couldn't lie.
